Each Minute Like Its Our Last She shudders at the chill thru the open window and smiles when I cover her shoulders for her Lets go to the woods, watch the river flow Her face framed in light as arbor breezes stir Chorus And I love her with every beat of a heart She ticks my time with every blink of her eyes past And I tell her: We shall never be apart with the wisdom to live each minute like its our last. We have a real good thing, and we know it She savors each touch like she has to show it Time is fragile as the seconds ebb and weep Carefully suspended over our bed as we sleep. Chorus And I love her with every beat of a heart She ticks my time with every blink of her eyes past And I tell her: We shall never be apart with the wisdom to live each minute like its our last. We hunker in our bunker like fledgling baby birds I feel eternity in my breast, holding you close In our quiet peaceful nest, speaking without words strumming your heart strings in love’s throes. Chorus And I love her with every beat of a heart She ticks my time with every blink of her eyes past And I tell her: We shall never be apart with the wisdom to live each minute like its our last. With God’s grace living each minute . . . like its our last [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (10-11-2002 10:36 PM).] |

"We hunker in our bunker like fledgling baby birds I feel eternity in my breast, holding you close In our quiet peaceful nest, speaking without words strumming your heart strings in love’s throes."  (smiles) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I love the whole song but this part really made me smile as I envisioned the sweet innocent love metaphorically like two birds in a nest! (big hugggssssss) Awwwwwww, this is soooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, I'd love to hear you sing it, yay, we all love you so much! Tell Dulcinea and Batman I said Hi tonight, yay! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, ol’ bud: A) me, too! B) I did C) I Will. and D) Thank you! *LOL* Loner: Thankx so much, and glad I could make you smile! Dulcy Honey: ~stammering Big Time~ Well um erah The song simply gets transferred from my heart to song and then to you. Nance: Hey and Hi! I know. . .i know. . . But its tears of happy, so there’s not too much guilt, ya know? Been working so hard lately and haven’t been around the forum too much. shucks! Bill Charles: Some day, perhaps space will be cheap enough for a forum like this to have live audio recited poetry, or songs. Wouldn’t that just be the bee’s knees? smiling Monk-Ster Hi Lyra! Thank you for checking in on me. My voice is in rare form. (Rare that it HAS a voice, anyway ~grin~) Someday, if I can find someone to write he music for me in notation form, I can do something with all these song lyrics. Thanks sweetie! Appreciate all of you dropping in on a workaholic songaholic. Thanks! |

Jeff I'm so glad that Vicky brought this back up as I missed it the first time. It is a sincere and beautiful love song, with just a few personal words that make it rare to only you, and therefore magic to read. Very much enjoyed the sharing...thank you. |

Jeff - Love the words and sentiments therein, but as a musician and songwriter (rejects 371 - acceptances 0!!!!), I find no music in my head that I can put this to. Was it to be a Dylan type balad or rap? Kind regards, John |
