my angels

when you did not exactly have a good day and you feel that you need a song to calm you down...try this beautiful duet from those good old days...it did the trick to sooth me and calm me down...enough for me to be ready to monday, i hope...


SCARBOROUGH FAIR
(Simon and Garfunkel)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snowcrested brown)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

was surfing the web around and as i was in this musical/singing mood...came across some great talents from the most famous Pavarotti to Britain Got Talents 2007 winner, Paul Potts...TGIF!! enjoy :)






Have a good weekend to all :)

Evergreen (Love Theme from"A S - Barbra Streisand
one of my all time favorite "feel good" song :) just love the piano accompaniment....

Evergreen
~ Brabra Streisand

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the april snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Starting Over Again - Natalie Cole


"And, when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more

We, we're just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feelings die

I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feelings right

CHORUS
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause everytime I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All of the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's hearts

And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore

REPEAT CHORUS

And now we're starting over again
This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
We are starting over, over again"

heard this song during my uni days from an old children worship album by Vineyard Music, when i was attending Randwick Baptist Church...this song was shared by our housechurch leader, the album belongs to her...the little girl who sang solo for this, her voice was just so pretty, pure and full of innocence...it just captured your heart....have been looking high and low for this album for the longest time with no success...just want to note down the lyrics...as a reminder...

Bright and Shining Star
(Vineyard Music)

Lord I want to know,
All that I can know about You,
Lord I want to go,
Where You lead me I will follow.

Lord You are,
My bright and shining star,
And I know,
I'll never be too far,
From Your love,
You're showing me the way,
I just want to obey,
Oh teach me Lord I pray.

heard it being played very briefly in the TV during an advertisement for a jazz compilation music CD...got me falling in love all over again with this old favorite of mine...i actually posted the lyrics once in year 2004...




Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

O but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word, your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

You're lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Put Your Records On ~ Corinne Bailey Rae

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sun burnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

You and I Both ~ Jason Mraz

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only dream of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

am tired at work...in need of some "feel good" song to up my mood plse...and every time i hear this song being played in the car radio, in the restaurants, in the shopping malls, on the TV etc. wherever, it never failed to stop me from doing whatever i was doing, to be quiet and just listen to the entire song...love it!!







I'm Yours ~ Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

Still
(Words and Music by Reuben Morgan)

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God





"Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth." ~ Psalm 46:10

so be still, my heart...be still....and know that He is God...and He is in control.....

Hillsong United lyrics - From The Inside Out

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

was just surfing the web at work (christmas eve mah...) and wanted to walk down memory lane, to listen to my old favorite songs from Leslie...and came across the above...my favorite version of the song from the movie itself :) happiness....

追 ~ 張國榮 (電影 "金枝玉葉" 插曲)
作詞:林夕 作曲:李迪文 編曲:George Leong


這一生　也在進取 這分鐘　卻掛念誰
我會說　是唯獨你 不可失去

好風光　似幻似虛　說明人生樂趣
我會說　為情為愛　仍然是對

誰比你重要　成功了敗了也完全無重要
誰比你重要　狂風與暴雨都因你燃燒

一追再追　只想追趕生命裡一分一秒　原來多麼可笑　你是真正目標
一追再追　追蹤一些生活最基本需要　原來早不缺少　oh...
有了你　即使平凡卻最重要

好光陰　縱沒太多一分鐘　那又如何
會與你　共同渡過　都不枉過

瘋戀多　錯誤更多　如能從新做過
我會說　願能為你　提前做錯

誰比你重要　成功了敗了也完全無重要
誰比你重要　狂風與暴雨都因你燃燒

一追再追　只想追趕生命裡一分一秒　原來多麼可笑　你是真正目標
一追再追　追蹤一些生活最基本需要　原來早不缺少　Oh...
有了你　即使平凡卻最重要

一追再追　只想追趕生命裡一分一秒　原來多麼可笑　你是真正目標
一追再追　追蹤一些生活最基本需要　原來早不缺少　Oh... 只得你
會叫我彷彿人群裡最重要
有了你　即使沈睡了　也在笑

had been playing this lullaby music CD we had since even before we had gabe, called "Butterfly Kisses & Bedtime Prayers" by Bob Carlisle...it is a compilation of songs by different artists put together into this album...am so touched by one particular song written by Bob Carlisle (who also wrote Butterfly Kisses) called "Father's Love"...how it reminded me of the love of my Heavenly Father...how powerful, big and strong as my Father's love...just want to share the lyrics here...to wish all a very...

Merry and Blessed Christmas....

Father's Love ~ Bob Carlisle

Three feet tall and full of questions
You must have thought I was the smartest man alive
I didn't always have the answers
To every little how and where and why

Like Daddy, why's the sky so blue today?
Does Jesus really hear me when I pray?
When I grow up, will I be just like you?
Will I be tall and strong and brave?

CHORUS(1):
There is no power on earth like your fathers' love
So big and so strong as your father's love
A promise that's sacred, a promise from heaven above
No matter where you go... always know
You can depend on your father's love

Especially when it's cold, especially when you're lonely
When your little heart is lost trying to find it's way
I know the world is always changing
But, remember son, that some things never change

And even when my life on earth is through
There will still be a part of me in you
'Cause some things are forever
Nothing's ever gonna take my love from you

CHORUS(2):
There is no power on earth like your father's love
So big and so strong as your father's love
A promise that's sacred, a promise from heaven above
Did I hug enough, did I care enough
When you most needed me,
Was I there enough
Enough to make you feel the power of
Your father's love

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, i’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

no thanks to the movie, "Mamma Mia!"...and fell in love with the beautiful voice of Amanda Seyfried ("Sophie")...and here are some of my favourite songs...




I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
When I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
But I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me




I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Father made my history
He thought for what he taught would set us somehow free
They taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
And now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

Oh turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
Oh I thought we won the human race
But we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape

I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying it's a terrible beauty we've made
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

And now I know what they're saying as our hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades

thanks to in_transit for sharing in her blog entry about this thai movie and posted the youtube video of this song...now i am oh so hooked to the song and the tune...imagine that, my first favourite thai song :) can't be helped...the music is catchy and the lyrics is just beautiful....

if i said that i wrote this song for you
would you believe me?
it might not be as well-written or beautiful
like other songs
i want you to know that a love song
can't be written if you're not in love
but for you, my dear
i wrote this song so easily
you might have heard hundreds or thousands of love songs
they might be meaningful
but they are meant for anyone
but when you listen to this song that's written just for you
if you understand the meaning, then our hearts
will be together as one

let it be a song on the path we walk together
that only has voices of you and me
together as long as possible
just like a line from a poem
"as long as you have love, you still have hope"
every time your love shines in my heart
i can see my destiny

there are so many truths in love
and in the past, i spent a lot of time
searching for its meaning
but now i just know
whenever you are near
i know that if life is a melody, you are the lyrics
that give it meaning and make it beautiful

let it be a song on the path we walk together
that only has voices of you and me
together as long as possible
just like a line from a poem
"as long as you have love, you still have hope"
every time your love shines in my heart
i can see my destiny

was spending "quality time" time with kris just now watching Johnny and the Sprites on playhouse disney channel...and the episode being shown was called "spring tuning", and the story was about how Johnny woke up the earth in the first day of spring, with his new song called "time to wake up"....

i heard the song and it sure caught my attention...was so surprised, that i could be so touched by God, thru this new song, and of all shows and places, from a kid's show! just so beautiful i have to share it here and keep it in my heart for as long as i can....and to be glad, be grateful and thankful for all that i have been given....no matter how down life can be sometimes...



i can't find the lyrics from the web...so i listened as best i could to write it down...hope i get most of them right...

Time To Wake Up

for such a long time
you've been sound asleep
the buds on the trees
the bobs and the crowns so deep
i look at the sun
and there's only one thing i can say
it's time to wake up, time to wake up
and greet a brand new day

the winter was cold
the nights were so long
now the birds have returned
and they're singing a spring time song
just feel the glow
and see how the snow has gone away
it's time to wake up, time to wake up
and greet a brand new day

now we're starring at growth (??)
as the rain water flows to the deep blue sea
just look up in the sky
you'll see butterflies flying so merrily
it's as beautiful as it can be
so wake up and enjoy it with me
the smoles (??) in their holes
the bees in their hives
it's days just like this
that make me glad i'm alive
there's one thing to do
come look at the blue sky that once was grey

it's time to wake up, time to wake up
and greet a brand new day

Trust His Heart
by Babbie Mason

All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth

Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him

We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart
