“Suddenly I See”

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she’s born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you’re trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she’s taller than most
And she’s looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Makes me smile and sing really loudly…

I don’t know trackbacks from Adam. I didn’t even get whta you meant when you “tagged” me on my blog, until I just read your post!

So I’ll post my answer here, and let me know if there’s something for me to do on my site!

Amy

p.s. this song may seem cheesy, but it absolutely lifts my spirits, no matter what, so I LOVE it. It’s an oldie about putting yourself out there and playing full-out!

Georgie Girl by the Seekers

Hey there! Georgie girl
Swinging down the street so fancy free,
nobody you meet could ever see
the loneliness there inside you.

Hey there! Georgie girl
why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don’t try, or is it the clothes you wear?
You’re always window shopping but never stopping to buy.
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly a little bit.
Hey there! Georgie girl
there’s another Georgie deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and
oh, what a change there’d be,
The world would see a new Georgie girl.

Hey there! Georgie girl
Dreaming of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can’t always run away.
Don’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself.
It’s time for jumping down from the shelf a little bit.

Not “makes my heart sing” exactly, so much as “makes my soul shout for joy to the skies.” It feels like flying.

Hey, my high power
The world is spinning but I’m not afraid.

Yeah, give me the power
It’s the beginning of another day…

Le Bel Age
There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation’s on the run
Dreamer you’ve had your way
Soldier you’ve had your day, in the sun
Now it’s time, for us to begin again

Chorus:

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it’s time, yes it’s time, for us to begin again

(repeat chorus twice)

Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, I see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way

(repeat chorus three times)

Le bel age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le bel age (only our love, only our love)
Close to the truth once again

(repeat chorus)

Le bel age (le bel age)
Le bel age

I won’t post the whole lyrics, but here’s the part that gets me jazzed up…

I’ve been leavin’ it up to fate
It’s my life so it’s mine to make

I ain’t settlin’ just gettin’ by
I’ve had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shootin’ too low so raise the bar high.
“Just enough” ain’t enough this time
I ain’t settlin’ for anything less than everything.

I’m hoping this topic will entice my dad to make his second post ever to my blog. lol He’s got a good one, too! (Go dad, go! You can do it! click, copy, paste .. easy!) Gosh, I love that guy. lol

Beautiful Surprise
by India Arie

It’s like yesterday
I didn’t even know your name
Now today
You’re always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You are beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You’ve got me on a natural high
It’s almost like I didn’t even have a choice
You are a beautiful surprise

Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we are written in the stars
I don’t know what the future holds
But I’m living in the moment
And I’m thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You are a beautiful surprise
You are an inspiration to my life
You are the reason why I smile
You are a beautiful surprise

You know, I’ve read the lyrics to Unwritten in a couple of posts, but I’ve never actually heard the song. I should go look it up on YouTube!

And I also love Magic – Xanadu was a favorite movie of mine for a loooong time as a kid. I got the video and watched it over and over.

Thanks for playing!

I do not know about trackbacks either, so I posted my response in both places. Does this satisfy as a response to my Refelctions post?

La Isla Bonita

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I’d never gone, I knew the song

A young girl with eyes like the desert. It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your Spanish lullaby

I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast

Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your Spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it’s time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy…
Loves a girl

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your Spanish lullaby

Paulette

all the best,

Hilda
