My wonderful MM introduced me to Norah Jones shortly after he and I met (No, I wasn't living in an igloo in Alaska with no electricity the last year or so...LOL)

The song "Come Away With Me" is "OUR" song, and he bought me the cd for Christmas...

Her new CD recently came out, he wouldn't "ALLOW" me to buy it for myself, he made me wait a week until we were together so HE could buy it and we could listen to it together...

(ok, y'all can say awwwwwww, now...LOL)

Anyway, I was listening to it, and one of the songs on it SO hit home...I thought I'd share the words with my new-found friends on this list...It's called "What Am I to You", and written by Norah Jones. The words are just so poignant for those of us involved in an "A" (hey I'm getting the lingo, too...)

What Am I to You

~by Norah Jones

What am I to you

Tell me darling true

To me you are the sea

Vast as you can be

And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low

To whom else do you go

See I cry if you hurt

I'd give you my last shirt

Because I love you so

If my sky should fall

Would you even call

Opened up my heart

I never want to part

I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes

I can feel the butterflies

I love you when you're blue

Tell me darlin true

What am I to you

Yah well if my sky should fall

Would you even call

Opened up my heart

Never want to part

I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes

I can feel the butterflies

Could you find a love in me

Could you carve me in a tree

Don't fill my heart with lies

I will you love when you're blue

Tell me darlin true

What am I to you

What am I to you

What am I to you

Those are beautiful lyrics.....and I have to say I've never heard any of Norah Jones' songs, but I have heard of her. I may have to go get the CD now just because of this song. Thanks for sharing!!

Buy BOTH her CD's...

The first one is awesome...very sultry...sexy...

These are the words to "Come Away With Me", from the cd of the same name...it's my "MM"'s and my song...

Come Away With Me

Come away with me in the night

Come away with me

And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can't tempt us

With their lies

I want to walk with you

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows knee - high

So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountaintop

Come away with me

And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof

While I'm safe there in your arms

So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night

Come away with me

Another good (appropriate?) one...

Feelin' the Same Way

The sun just slipped its note below my door

And I can't hide beneath my sheets

I've read the words before so now I know

The time has come again for me

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

Another day that I can't find my head

My feet don't look they're my own

I'll try and find the floor below to stand

And I hope I reach it once again

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

So many times I wonder where I've gone

And how I found my way back in

I'll look around awhile for something lost

Maybe I'll find it in the end

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

"Our" song is New by No Doubt:

I didn't think of it - he did - and when we're in my car he turns it up.


"New"

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

And I can't believe I've had this chance now

Don't let it go away

New, you're so new

You, you're new

And I never had this taste in the past

New, you're so new

My normal hesitation is gone

And I really gravitate to your will

Are you here to fetch me out?

'Cause I've never had this taste in my mouth

Oh you're not old

And you're not familiar

Recently discovered and I'm learning about you

New, you're so new

You, you're new

And you're consuming me violently

And your reverence shamelessly tempting me

Who sent this maniac?

'Cause I never had this taste in the past

Oh you're different, you're different from the former

Like a fresh battery, I'm energized by you

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

And I can't believe I've had this chance now

Don't let it go away

Why am I so curious?

This territory is dangerous

I'll probably end up at the start

I'll be back in line with my broken heart

New, you're so new

You, you're new

And I never had this taste in the past

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

Don't let it go away

This feeling has got to stay

And I can't believe I've had this chance now

Don't let it go away

And I can't believe it

Can't believe it

Can't believe it

Can't believe it

Don't let it go away, this feeling has got to stay

Don't let it go away

Here is another VERY appropriate one. It is not by Nora Jones, it is by Xscape. MM always jokes that this is our song:

My Little Secret

See baby you're my little secret,

If you don't tell, I won't tell,

And that's how we gotta keep it

And that's how we gotta keep it.

Did anybody see you coming to my house last night?

When I got your message on my beeper,

That you wanna do everything I like,

Alright, alright.

I like being in the same room as you and your girlfriend.

The fact that she don't know,

That really turns me on.

She'll never guess in a million years,

That we've got this thing going on.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind, about you and I,

They think so, but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let em' know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

If anybody knew that it was you and your house,

That I was creepin' to all the time,

I'd probably still do it,

'Cause I find it hard to keep you off of my mind.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind, about you and I,

They think so, but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let em' know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

Everybody cheats,

But you gotta know how, you gotta know when,

You gotta know why my infatuation with you,

Is taking me on an emotional high.

I'm all caught up in this love affair baby,

Speculation will bring us stares.

All my friends are talking about it,

Still the truth I can't reveal.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind, about you and I,

They think so, but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let em' know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

As long as I'm right here,

You ain't never gonna be by yourself.

'Cause the love that we share,

It stays on my mind

You're always gonna be a little secret of mine

You're always gonna be a little secret of mine.

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

It's on everybody's mind, about you and I,

They think so, but they don't really know.

Or wanna know that,

You're my little secret,

And that's how we should keep it.

We should never let em' know,

Never let it show.

If you know, like I know,

We should never let it go.

This song nails it for me and my MM....I love him so much! It's "Amazed" by the country group Lonestar.

Everytime our eyes meet, This feelin' inside me,

Is almost more than I can take, Baby when you touch me,

I can feel how much you love me, And it just blows me away,

I've never been this close to anyone or anything, I can hear your thoughts,

I can see your dreams,

I don't know how you do what you do, I'm so in love with you,

It just keeps gettin' better, I want to spend the rest of my life,

With you by my side, forever and ever, Every little thing that you do,

Baby I'm amazed by you.

The smell of your skin, The taste of your kiss,

The way you whisper in the dark, Your hair all around me,

Baby you surround me, You touch every place in my heart,

You know it feels like the first time, Everytime,

I want to spend the whole night in your eyes,

I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you,

It just keeps gettin' better, I want to spend the rest of my life,

With you by my side, forever and ever, Every little thing that you do,

Baby I'm amazed by you.

Although we joke that 'My Little Secret' by Xscape is our song, it actually isn't. Our real song is the one he sang to me at kaoroke...ahhhh....

Let's Stay Together By Al Green

I, I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is all right with me

'Cause you make me feel so brand new

And I want to spend my life with you

They say since, baby, since we've been together

Loving you forever

Is what I need

Let me be the one you come running to

I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together

Lovin' you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up

Then turn around and make up

I just can't see

You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)

Staying around you is all I see

(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad
