You Put The 'Great' in Great-Grandpa
by Bekki Wilson, Jan 27 2008
I'll always remember,
Your fiddle in hand,
Your bright smiling face,
On cloud nine you'd stand
So much love in your heart,
And you spread it round,
When you sang to the world,
It seemed peace would surround.
We were all so lucky,
To know such a wonder as you,
And we'll all shed a tear,
As we bid you adieu.
This is not good bye,
We won't ever forget,
Our dear grandpa, our father
Our husband, don't fret.
Be sure to tell all the others,
Who left us too soon,
We haven't forgotten them either,
We'll listen for your tune.
You'll never be far from our minds,
Or our dreams or our hearts,
Your beautiful music is not over,
This is just the start.
We'll all make you proud,
Because we're proud of you too,
You lived your life with such passion,
Something most only wish they could do.
I'll miss the way the world,
Seemed to just go away,
When you gave me a hug,
And I'd just want to stay.
I'm very lucky to have known,
The greatest great-grandpa that this world's ever had,
And I'll live life to the fullest,
Knowing you wouldn't want to see me sad.
Wherever I go,
And whatever I do,
I will know I'm who I am,
Because I was loved by you.
Nothing Without You
Sometimes my life just gets crazy
And I can't seem to slow down
I forget about the little things
That's when I start to drown
But love, you are my saviour
You keep my head up in the clouds
You make me feel like it's just us two
In the middle of a crowd
I just can't quite explain it
The way you pull me out
From the insanity, the loneliness
You just throw away my doubts
But if I ever lose you
I don't know what I'd do
Because even though I'm strong
Baby, I'm nothing without you
Won't you just let me hold
Onto this sweet memory
For a little while longer
Let it stay, please?
I don't think that my life
Will quite be the same
When I can't remember your voice
And I can't picture your face
"23"
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
"Big Girls Don't Cry"
Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[CHORUS]
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
[CHORUS]
La Da Da Da Da Da
So these are song lyrics, a song called 'Temporary Insanity' by a band called the Weekend. I heard it on a video on YouTube and fell in love. I've definitely lived this song a few times in my life. It always started out as friends and a few times, it worked out but for the most part, it didn't. Haha anyways, give them a read, download the song if you want, and let me know whatcha think!
What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
'Cuz that's a place we've never been
Until now
And I dunno
How we're gunna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all?
Or do we fall?
My confusion shows
Whenever you
Stand so close
I stumble
I stutter
Forget what to say
I'm nervous
I wonder why I'm acting this way
(Chorus)
It's temporary insanity
What going on with you and me
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Woh-oh-oh (x2)
You made a move
Don't change your mind
Too much to lose
We've crossed the line
Between friends and something more
Was it all a big mistake?
'Cuz if it was it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to
Let you go
But I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?
Its temporary insanity
What’s goin’ on with you and me
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?(x2)
Woh-oh-oh(x2)
Hey what you do to me
What’s come over me?
If this is crazy
There's nothing I'd rather be
Than here with you now
Let’s figure this out
Here with you now(x2)
Its temporary insanity
What goin' on with you and me
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?(x2)
(Losin' my mind)(x2)
(What’s goin’ on?)
(Losin my mind)(x3)
Insanity
What you do to me
I thought you were a dream come true
But I guess that I was wrong
I should have payed attention to the signs
That had been there all along
I was young and so naive
That I just couldn't see
Through all the lies and your disguise
It wasn't what it seemed
You said that I was special
And you held me in your arms
You whispered sweet things in my ear
Paralyzed me with your charms
You wouldn't call for days on end
But still I'd wait and wait
I'd think of you far into the night
Mindlessly chasing your bait
Me and my imagination
We knew it from the start
We knew you were too good to be true
We knew you'd break my heart
But still we let you do it
We even gave you a head start
But still you are the one to blame
For picking us apart
In public, when you held my hand
I felt butterflies inside
Little did I know you would send me
On a rollercoaster ride
With you, I felt invincible
Like nothing could go wrong
I'd lie my head down on your chest
And feel like I belonged
But when we were apart
It felt like you were so far away
Whatever had held us together
Was quickly starting to fray
You'd say how much you missed me
And 'I want to see you soon'
But those few words began to turn
Into an all too familiar tune

Daddy always said he was wrong for me
And in the end he'd only bring me misery
I tried and tried to turn away, but something bout him makes me stay
The only man whose ever knocked me to my knees
The only man whose ever set my spirit free
He was born and raised in Linsford, Tennessee
His daddy owns a big distilery
He's an old time wiskey drinker, when I'm with him I get meaner
And momma says hes ruined my destiny
He sure has made a women out of me
I fell in love with Jack Daniels again
Hes the best kind of lover that there is
I can have him when I please, he always satisfies my needs
He takes me back no matter where I've been
Yeah I fell in love with Jack Daniels again

You are my happiness.
Rest in Peace Auntie
Recycled Lies (The Lying Rain)
Your lies are like the raindrops
That fall down from the sky
They never lack abundance
You don't even have to try
They crowd together in a puddle
Some are big and some are not
Some manage to drip away
And some of them are caught
You can seee right through them
As they fall down through the air
Sometimes you look right past them
As though they're not even there
CHORUS
They get muddy and dirty
And then fall down again
Your recycled lies
Together they blend
Some full of acid
They burn at my skin
And though you can't feel it
They'll burn you from within
Today I brought my umbrella
To block out the pain
Now they can't touch me
But they'll drive me insane
I can hear them whisper
And I know they're building up
One by one they fill my mind
As if it were an overflowing cup
So I'll pour them all out
And pretend that they're gone
Until one day a river
Brings them all back along
CHORUS
I catch the rain on my tongue
Which becomes the tears that I've cried
In reaction to the endless
Times that you've lied
Afraid that I'll lose you
I swallow each tear
It's the least painful way
I can stand to keep you here
And since I can't have you
I'll let these tears be my wounds
In hopes that someday
They will make me immune
CHORUS
