Daydreaming
I am a total nutcase for youtube (as you all might have caught up on from my musical monday feature) and today I was daydreaming a bit. I sometimes allow myself to do so and this time - I think it was a number on the radio - that got me remembering the Chippendale shows I've been to. So I went in search for some video's on youtube and found this one and can I say hubba hubba!!!!
I forgot how totally gorgeous the Chips were during their European leg of their tour in 1999-2000. Ofcourse me being me had to check and see if their was any info on the internet on the one I liked best, just to see what he was doing these days and - hmmmm - let's say, some things are best left in the past.
So here's to our hug, may it stay forever locked in my memory of 1999.
Love,

This is one of my favourite songs, I can't hear it enough! Sing at the top of your lungs, you know that you know the lyrics ;-)
Lady Antebellum - Need you now
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause, I can't fight it any more
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
I guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause, I can't fight it any more
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
I guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now

Lincoln McCaw lost everything — his home, his job, his partner — after he caused a fatal accident. A year later, he’s drowning the guilt and despair in whiskey, but he needs to move on. His sister and her kids are counting on him. Then he meets a man who ignites a passion Lincoln thought he’d never find. Too bad one night is all they can have together. Now he needs to figure out how to turn away from the only person who makes him feel alive…before whoever is sending him threats decides Lincoln needs to suffer more than he already has.
Jay Miller is surrounded by grief and misery until he finally gives in to all those years of sexual fantasies about being with another guy.

The world as I know it.....
AJAX - CHAMPION
Ahhhh the blishfull normalcy has returned to footballers-world in the Netherlands. Last Sunday my team, whom I kept supporting through the good, the bad and the ugly has once more reached the top of the premier league in the Netherlands. AJAX ftw and in a face to face dual they won from their equals throughout the year FC Twente.
3-1 *sigh* how lovely a feeling it was when I heard they finally scored their third goal only 15 minutes till game-time was over. It wouldn't have been enough for Ajax if they would have played a draw and though 2 goals in difference wasn't a sure win 15 minutes before the last whistle was blown, it gave us at least the certainty that one goal for the other team didn't make them champion.
I remember sitting on the couch at my parents place, listening to the game on the radio with my dad and when that final whistle came we both cheered so loud that their deaf neighbours must have heard us.
This is what it was all about:
Isn't it a lovely sight? To me at the moment it still seems like heaven!!!! My team was back on the top spot and not for the first time, oh no, for the 30th time!!!! For a long while it seemed that 29th win was cursed, they were just not allowed to hit 30 but this year, despite all the rumouring and bad press we came back on track and made it to that number 1 spot.
Guys - you're the team!!!!! Congratulations to you all and thank you for your great football, up to next year and ofcourse good luck in the Champions League!!!!! It will serve me and my dad great evenings of watching and following you to hopefulle a repeatance of the 1995 victory! A girl can always dream right?!!!!
Love and support you always,

I'm back....
I’ve been away from blog-land for a while, couldn’t find the time to commit to blogging on a weekly base, part of it, because real-life stuff had me caught up in spending most of my time and energy away from keyboard, and partly because I wasn’t sure how to fill in my blog, which posts to post, or which ones to write.
However, I found it should be a part of my little world - on the big world-wide-web – and that entails a lot. I’m creative – as well in the knitting, embroidery, card-making area, as in the writing area; I’m an avid reader and reviewer of the romance-fiction; and my Yorkshizer: Bodhi Diablo, and my alpha cats: Ash and Simi are a huge part of my life too; my alter-ega’s on the MMORPH World of Warcraft, demand their time and I also like spending time with my family and friends, music and at work too!
So that’s my life in a nutshell but I’m more and more longing to hit the keyboard and type up small parts of my life in a blog-style, posts can vary in subjects and whatever is on my mind will show.
I hope you’ll all enjoy reading up on my life – often with a hint of self-mockery and a huge wink to the subject at hand, sometimes on a more serious or frivolous note.
Following myself....
You might think, why on earth is she following herselve but apparently it's good luck in doing so - or so it has been whispered in my ear. And I think everybody can use some good luck in their life so figured why not give it a try ;-).
Now for the update on my 'reading now gadget'….
It’s my sisters doing… I am not one who will most likely pick up gay-romance, but I’ve been hearing people talk about it and it seems so much of an enjoyment for them that I’ve been playing with the idea of reading a novel in this genre. My sister was here over a week ago and brought me a book by Steve Kluger – Almost Like Being In Love, which she thought I would enjoy, so tonight I’m going to give it the good old college try and will let you all know how I get by on that!
On another note:
Simi is seeking some very much needed attention - that it has been raining all day and he has been in-house bound, being a bit of a teasing cat, stepping on my keyboard and sitting in front of my pc-screen, so I’m heading off, but will post again very soon!
Bye bye for now,
Hugs
Hello blogpeeps,

On another note: Craving Chinese food at the moment. For those who didn’t already know, I’m on a low-carb diet, started April 9th, 2011 and lost about 10kg’s – still a long way to go. A few weeks back had a desperate craving for veal-croquettes (an unhealthy but oh so delicious snackfood snack in the Netherlands), it has passed, but now all I can smell, taste and see in front of me are egg-rolls. I promised myself a big egg-roll when I lost 20kg’s so I’m half-way there and trust me when I say I CAN’T WAIT!!!!! However hopefully it will still taste as good as I remember, my taste-buds haven't been the same since I'm on this diet, not for the worse, but certain flavours are just different now *sigh*.
Simi is seeking some very much needed attention - that it has been raining all day and he has been in-house bound, being a bit of a teasing cat, stepping on my keyboard and sitting in front of my pc-screen, so I’m heading off, but will post again very soon!
Bye bye for now,

Musical Monday...
At the moment I feel we (the Netherlands) have been cheated out of an admission to the finals of the Eurovisionn Songfestival. When you see which countries did make it... Doesn't anybody know what the original Eurovision Songfestival was all about? It seems lately it's not about the quality of songs anymore, but those who win are the one's who act as strange and as ridiculous as possible on stage. For me the semi-finals are more the atmosphere and quality of the Eurovision Songfestival, than the actual finals.
I used to love watching the Eurovision Songfestival, but nowadays I don't even bother to stay at home and if I am at home, I'm preferring to watch something else, it's a shame really.
But herewith, in my own world, I want to honor those who were send out from The Netherlands to represent us in the Eurovision Songfestival, and to me they are top notch. Well done lads, you can be proud of yourselves and keep your heads held up high!!!
*** ROUND OF APPLAUSE ***
3J's - Never Alone
Awake your heart
You fear it but we'll make a start
Seems like the wind just blows your way
With clouds full of rain
And you hide... because the world ain't right
Know that your cold and hurting soul
Is never alone
Don't waste your time
Just lift your mind
Imagination comes alive
Now you know that I'll be by your side
Feel the rising hope
And the sky will open
Take my hand don't stall have faith
Though the road is long
There are golden gardens
At the sweet end of your trail
Lay down now
I'll ease your heart, erase your frown
To light up the darkness in your dreams
I will be here
And we'll find, the freedom you left behind
Capture the sun, the source, it shone
You were never alone
Don't waste your time
Just lift your mind
Imagination comes alive
Now you know that I'll be by your side
Feel the rising hope
And the sky will open
Take my hand don't stall have faith

Musical Monday...
At the moment I feel this need to just stick out my tongue to those in highschool who were teasing me so much for enjoying Take That's music. They splitt up in 1996 but have been back together for a while now, and with songs like this, who could blame me for liking them so much????
And yes, they are singing live...
Take That - The Flood
Standing, on the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world
Back then, we were like cavemen
We’d beam at the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They’ll run so hard, we’ll tear the ground away
You know no one dies,
In these love town lies
Through our love drowned eyes
We’ll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again
Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son
Or you’ll find yourself floating home
Here we come now, on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands
Will try to strike, but now will end today
There’s progress now
Where there once was none
Where there once was none
Then everything came along
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they’ll never dance again
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again
We will meet you, where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They’ll run so hard, we’ll tear the ground away
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they’ll never dance again
Now we’ll never dance again
Oh ahh, oh ahh
Oh ahh, oh ahh
Oh aah, oh ahh
Standing, on the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world
Back then, we were like cavemen
We’d beam at the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them
We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders, of the faith we are
Where the thunder turns around
They’ll run so hard, we’ll tear the ground away
You know no one dies,
In these love town lies
Through our love drowned eyes
We’ll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we’d never dance again
Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son
Or you’ll find yourself floating home
Here we come now, on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are

Musical Monday...
Those who know me, know I absolutely love to sing - not good I might add but that's not the point - although my neighbours might disagree on that last remark mwoahahahahaha. But no matter how I try this song is just twisted, it's so stranglysang that my tongue gets in a twist everytime I try, but by god, if it takes me the rest of my life.... I WILL be able to sing this song along just once, without tripping on my own tongue...
Coldplay - Viva La Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castle stands
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a'ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone it was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh...who would ever wanna be king
I hear Jerusalem bells were ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Whoaaa
(Whoa) hear Jerusalem bells were ringing
(Whoa) Roman Cavalry choirs were singing
(Whoa) be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Whoa) my missionaries in a foreign field
(Whoa) for some reason I can't explain
(Whoa) I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooh ooooh oooh ooooh
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead, long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castle stands
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

In Loving Memory - Joanna Koopmans
Joanna Koopmans - van Hal
******
There is no night without a dawning,
No winter without a spring,
And beyond the dark horizon,
Our hearts will once more sing....
For those who leave us for a while,
Have only gone away,
Out of a restless, care worn world,
Into a brighter day....
******
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With utter shock and still in total disbelieve, I found out today that someone I hold close to my heart has passed away. Were we people who had weekly contact, no, but she was the person through whom I started my spiritual journey. She was this mother of all mothers with so much love, compassion and strength to give out into the world. Always there for everybody and anybody, no judgements, no prejudice, she just simply was.
Her life was not easy for her, but the beautiful spiritual gift she had within herself and shared with many around, was shining brightly to all who were willing to receive. She was one of those rare stars that brightened up a dark night.
I'm going to light a candle tonight and burn some incense that is uniquely attached to her, to honor her life and send her my love to wherever she may be now. I know she is in a better, brighter and more loving place now.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her loved one's: family, friends, customers and to all those who she was able to help out in her life and miss her tremendously.
Rest In Peace, dear Joanna, I will miss you!
With love,
Natascha

LYRICS When The Heart Is Connected - K-Otic
In this world of illusions
Nothing stays the same
In the land of confusion
The heart is not to blame
When the dreams turned to sorrow
And the hero walks away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why you stay
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
Love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
And place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
When you walk disillusioned
Down the highway of hope
Blinded by the shadows
running out of rope
So you can't make decisions
you let them slip away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why I stay
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
And love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
You place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
In this world of illusions
The hero walks away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why you stay
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
And love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
You place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
Love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
You place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
In this world of illusions
Nothing stays the same
In the land of confusion
The heart is not to blame
When the dreams turned to sorrow
And the hero walks away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why you stay
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
Love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
And place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
When you walk disillusioned
Down the highway of hope
Blinded by the shadows
running out of rope
So you can't make decisions
you let them slip away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why I stay
When your heart is connected
The writings on the wall
You’re always protected
And love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
You place them in my hands
When your heart is connected
Love will stay the same
In this world of illusions
The hero walks away
There’s a reason why he’s leaving
There’s a reason why you stay

And love will never ever stall
Call on emotions
You place them in my hands

LYRICS Alone Without You - Mark Owen
I listened to your album
And I watched your favourite film,
Hey hey hey,
I missed you today,
I read those early letters
That were filled with early dreams,
Some of them materialised,
Others never seen,
We used to watch the world walking by
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
I made your favourite dinner,
And I wore the shirts you loved,
Hey hey hey,
Just in case you came
Friends still ask about you,
And I say that you're just fine,
And have you seen the world walking by?
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
The truth is you're not here,
And I'm screwed up again,
And I don't know the reason why,
I don't know why it is
And did I ever say,
That I just need your love,
And I want you back again,
I want you back again
You said that this isn't yet our time,
So give me time,
To get you back again
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
Its for you that I fall out of bed in the morning,
Still checking the mail as I'm leaving,
I sit in the car without driving
I listened to your album
And I watched your favourite film,
Hey hey hey,
I missed you today,
I read those early letters
That were filled with early dreams,
Some of them materialised,
Others never seen,
We used to watch the world walking by
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
I made your favourite dinner,
And I wore the shirts you loved,
Hey hey hey,
Just in case you came
Friends still ask about you,
And I say that you're just fine,
And have you seen the world walking by?
The truth is you're not here,
Here I am, I'm screwed up again,
No matter what, which way I turn,
How am I feeling, slowly bleeding here for you,
And spending time with hope
And I don't know why it is,
It's just the way it is
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
The truth is you're not here,
And I'm screwed up again,
And I don't know the reason why,
I don't know why it is
And did I ever say,
That I just need your love,
And I want you back again,
I want you back again
You said that this isn't yet our time,
So give me time,
To get you back again
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
What am I to say,
What am I to do,
What am I, alone without you
Its for you that I fall out of bed in the morning,
Still checking the mail as I'm leaving,
I sit in the car without driving

Musical Monday....
In Loving Memory...
Today's musical choice is an ode to a Rocker at heart...
In his honor tune up the volumn and listen to this great song!!!!!
LYRICS - Kite by U2
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
And hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man, I'm not a child
I'm a man who sees
In the shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye-eye
Goodbye-eye-eye
Goo-oodbye
Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the rock stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
Communication... Communication...
Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the opera stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
Talk to eachother
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
And hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man, I'm not a child
I'm a man who sees
In the shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye-eye
Goodbye-eye-eye
Goo-oodbye

LYRICS If Tomorrow Never Comes - Ronan Keating
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

LYRICS Here Without You - 3 Doors Down
A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Today's musical choice is an ode to a Rocker at heart...
In his honor tune up the volumn and listen to this great song!!!!!
LYRICS - Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
It's too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo Figaro - magnifico-o-o-o
I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
It's the LAW! No - we will not let you go - let him go
It's the LAW! We will not let you go - let him go
It's the LAW! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me
for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters, to me
Anyway the wind blows...
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
It's too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Musical Monday...
This weeks Musical Monday is to support Dean Saunders in Popstars on his way to the finals coming Saturday!
This is one of the songs he sang in Popstars... (song starts at about 2:00 minutes)
From the first time I heard him sing in his audition I lo-oved him, ofcourse, for his voice *wink wink* it's nothing to do with the looks.......
The whole package works for me, and his personality is great as well!
I he doesn't win... no worries, he'll make it in showbizz nonetheless, because he's got that one thing a lot of candidates lack and that is charisma and the x-factor, knows how to connect with the audience, in the studio as well as at home.
More on Dean can be found:

LYRICS Never Enough - Rabecca Lavelle
There was never time enough
I can't breathe
It's too hard to think of love
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Can't let my words betray
I won't talk, I won't talk
Words will never be the way
I won't talk, won't talk
Many fears, many dreams
Many roads out there
Hide the pain behind the smile
Behind the tears
You burn like fire
Burn like ice
Your heart tears, your heart tears
You be strong and hold it in
But your heart still cares
Many fears and many dreams
Many roads out there
Hide the pain behind the smile
Behind the tears
Many fears and many dreams
Many roads out there
Hide the pain behind the smile
Till there are no more tears
There was never time enough
I can't breathe
It's too hard to think of love
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Many fears and many dreams
Many roads out there
Hide the pain behind the smile
Behind the tears
Many fears and many dreams
Many roads out there
Hide the pain behind the smile
Till there are no more tears
There was never time enough......

Musical Monday....
For my dear sister Leontine....
LYRICS I'll stand by you - Girls Aloud
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
’Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So, if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
’Cause even if you’re wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
