Lost in a Dream...

“Do you hear the words, or the music?”, my dad asked. “What?”, I replied. “When you listen to songs… do you hear the words, or just the music?” he said. I looked at him and I smiled.

Have you ever noticed that during times of extreme emotions… happiness, sadness, anger, etc… songs mean more to you? As someone who hadn’t had a lot of ups and downs in my life, I didn’t really realize that until recently. I’ve always loved music, but I never paid much attention to the lyrics. Heh. Just the other day, I was flying down the highway, top down, wind in my hair, listening to my iPod, when I noticed that I was singing “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier” What?! What the hell does that mean?! Doesn’t matter… it’s a fun song. (All These Things by The Killers)

But anyway, for the last several months, I’ve really been HEARING the lyrics to songs. All of those sappy love songs that I used to laugh about... now I’m thinking, “Wow! That’s exactly the way that I feel!” But no song has epitomized the way I feel like the Josh Groban song “When You Say You Love Me.” So, I’m going to be one of those lame people that post the lyrics to songs on their blog. I can’t help it, guys! My only defense is that I’m in love with the man of my dreams. Anyway, here goes….

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside
and When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I
celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment, I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

Yep, I know you're all gagging by this point. A couple of months ago, I would have been too. Now I'm just so goofy and in love, that I want everyone else to be happy too. So, if you haven't heard the song, give it a listen.
