Home
Celebrate Me Home
Reuben Studdard
I'm going home today,
I believe I've missed each and every face,
get there and play my music,
Turn on every love light in the place
It's time I found myself,
Totally surrounded in the circles
Oh oh, my friends
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
I can recall
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home.
Uneasy highway,
Traveling where the Westerly winds can fly,
Somebody tried to tell me,
But the men forgot to tell me why,
I gotta count on being gone,
Come on woman, come on daddy,
Be what you want me as
I'm this strong, I'll be weak
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
I can recall,
whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can make believe I've never gone.
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
...
Play me one more song,
Hey,
somebody said,
celebrate me home
i cant, wait to see ya,
i can't, wait to hold you,
you know i miss you, yeah.
come on and,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home,
Well you know I'm finally here,
And you don't have to worry,
no,no...
no no no no no no
So come on and celebrate, celebrate, celebrate me home.

Now that I have my own life and own family, I started missing the people and the things I used to do at home. Someone once told me that I couldn't choose him over my family. I said I didn't have to choose. Both are important to me. I guess he was hurt. Truth is, I was hurt too. I was appalled that he still thought that way, knowing that he already had me beside him. I don't regret choosing to have my own life and family, but, there are times, especially when I'm alone, that I miss the home I grew up in so much.

Dreams
In My Dreams
Reo Speedwagon
There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the Lord when Id wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin,
you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep,
at least I could pretend youre thinkin of me
cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I dont know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams
I keep hopin one day I'll awaken,
and somehow he'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin
He touches me and suddenly I'm alive
Oh, in my dreams...

Last week, I teased Peachy about posting In My Dreams lyrics on her blog. And lookie, I've done the same. Shucks, this would be my song for Rico Yan and Ju Ji Hun. lol. This is the perfect song for me.
I'm a dreamer. My dreams keep me going. Sometimes though, it hurts to think that some of my dreams will never come true. What are those dreams? Hmm, let's just say that it has something to do with love and life in general. I should be okay about it. C'est la vie!

Breathe
Patience
Guns N' Roses
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience(inhale)
Patience...Ooh, oh, yeah
Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd
(Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....
Patience is a virtue they say, but will you still be patient if it's already too much for you to bear?
