Someone gave me this song today...thought those leaving an A could use it today...


Artist: Jo Dee Messina

Song: I Wish

Lyrics:

It's not easy saying this to you

It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do

But boy before you go

I want you to Know



I wish you strength

When times are hard

Oh I wish with all my heart you find just what

You're looking for

I wish you joy

I wish you peace

And that every star you see's within your reach

And I wish you still loved me

I wish things were different you know that

But I'm still happy for the times we had

You mean the world to me

Baby Please Believe



Losing you is tearing me apart

But a part of me will be with you

No matter where you are

While we are on appropriate country music - these two have been in my head the last couple of days (that and the superman song by eminem, but that's not as healthy, so . . . )

Garth Brooks (who left his wife for the other womyn) and Trisha Yearwood (the other womyn) five years before their relationship went "public":

In another's eyes

I'm someone who

Loves her enough to walk away from you

I'd never cheat, I'd never lie

In another's eyes

In another's eyes

I can do no wrong

He believes in me and his faith is strong

I'd never fall or even compromise

In another's eyes

In another's eyes

I'm afraid that I can't see

This picture perfect portrait

That they paint of me

They don't realize

And I pray they never do

'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you

In another's eyes

In another's eyes

Starin' back at me

I see a sinking soul trying desperately

To turn the tide before it dies

In another's eyes

And what they don't see is killing me

And it's a blessing and a curse that love is blind

In another's eyes

I'm afraid that I can't see

This picture perfect portrait

That they paint of me

They don't realize

And I pray they never do

'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you

In another's eyes

In another's eyes

In another's eyes

And, newer, Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow "I put your picture away"

(Kid Rock) Livin' my life in a slow hell

Different girl every night at the hotel

I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days

Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky

Wish I had a good girl to miss me

Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways

I put your picture away

Sat down and cried the day

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her

I put your picture away, sat down and cried today

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her

(Sherly Crow)

I called you lastnight in the hotel

Everyone knows but they wont tell

But their half hearted smiles tell me

Somethin' just ain't right

I been waitin' on you for a long time

Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine

I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights

I put your picture away

I wonder where you been

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

I put your picture away

I wonder where you been

I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

I saw ya yesterday with an old friend

(Kid Rock)

It was the same ole same "how have you been"

(Both)

Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

(Kid Rock)

You reminded me of brighter days

(Sheryl Crow)

I hoped you were comin' home to stay

I was head of the church

(Kid Rock)

I was off to drink you away

(Both)

I thought about you for a long time

Can't seem to get you off my mind

I can't nderstand why we're living life this way

I found your picture today

I swear I'll change my ways

I just called to say I want you to come back home

I found your picture today

I swear I'llc hange my ways

I just called to say I want you to come back home

I just called to say, I love you come back home

These both send me the wrong message - your heart being with your spouse. But eh, can't be perfect.

I've been noticing songs like this recently with my upcoming move. Here's a couple that really struck me. Keep in mind I'm a fan of hair bands...they're both off of Skid Row's recent CD:

Ghost - Skid Row

I feel the things I said but never said how I felt

I know I waited much to long

Could I get it in your head without a hit below the belt

Looking back it seems that I went about it all wrong.

Lying alone in the bed we made

Watching headlights on the shade

The ghost thats sleeping by your side

Are my promises to you that died.

To you that died.

Was it long ago when forever was our friend

But now freedoms what i feel inside

It hurts so much to let you go

To know we'll never touch again

When i walk if I fall down

Can I take it in stride?

Lying alone in the bed we made

Watching headlights on the shade

The ghost thats sleeping by your side

Are my promises to you that died.

To you that died.

I might let you go but I'll never go away

I might let you go but I'll never go away

I feel the things I said but never said how I felt

I know I waited much too long

Lying alone in the bed we made

Watching headlights on the shade

The ghost thats sleeping by your side

Are my promises that died

Lying alone in the bed we made

Watching headlights on the shade

The ghost thats sleeping by your side

Are my promises to you that died

To you that died


See You Around - Skid Row

I never promised you the sunshine

You never handed me the moon

We're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining

We've grown out of our cocoon

The last train is leaving

There's nothing more than I can say

I didn't mean to bring you down

I guess I'll see you around

I left the best of my intentions

Took it one day at a time

It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending

We've just fallen from the vine.

The last train is leaving

There's nothing more than I can say

I didn't mean to bring you down

I guess I'll see you around

Whatever direction we go

Rest assured the one thing we know

Things just really didn't go our way

Its not like all is lost or that the world is ending

We've just fallen from the vine.

The last train is leaving

There's nothing more than I can say

I didn't mean to bring you down

The last train is leaving

There's nothing more than I can say

I didn't mean to bring you down

I guess I'll see you around

Here are a couple from Amy Grant and Vince Gill - who also left there spouses for each other - they fell in love while working together - apparently they were never unfaithful, but they couldn't get each other out of their minds.

Cry A River - Amy Grant

Who knew love would come walking through my door

And turn a light on somewhere down inside?

It gave me a feeling I'd never had before.

It was a long wait and it was just the wrong time.

I hope you'll hold me now, somewhere within.

And when you think about what might have been,

Cry a river.

Flood the sea.

Cry a river over me.

Take the bitter

With the sweet.

And cry a river over me.

How do you argue with a feeling in your bones

About what is and what isn't meant to be?

Some things you live with

And you never let it show.

Like the pain I felt the day I watched you leave.

And I hope you'll think of me when tender winds blow.

Sit on the shores of love and just let it go.

Cry a river.

Flood the sea.

Cry a river over me.

Take the bitter

With the sweet.

And cry a river over me.

Cry a river.

Flood the sea.

Cry a river over me.

Take the bitter

With the sweet.

And cry a river over me.

Whenever You Come Around - Vince Gill

The face of an angel; pretty eyes that shine

I lie awake at night wishing you were mine

I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town

Whenever you come around

{Chorus}

I get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath

Oh I try to speak but the words won't come

I'm so scared to death

And when you smile that smile,

The world turns upside down

Whenever you come around

I feel so helpless; I feel just like a kid

What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid

I wish I could tell you, but the words can't be found

Whenever you come around

{Chorus x2}

And when you smile that smile

the world turns upside down

Whenever you come around

Whenever you come around


I feel like crying.
