Thank You

And now we've come to it.  The song I've been trying to reach ever since I re-started this blog.

THIS.

I think this song is my greatest triumph.  I realise, that that means building it up quite high, but I really do like it (read: love it), and sometimes I just like to read it for no apparent reason.  It's certainly one of my two magnum opuses (opi?  I really wish I'd taken Latin) - the other being a "Lament for Lokomotiv," which I haven't posted here because it's less of a song and more of a poem, but I can if you wish (it's about the plane crash of last September that killed the entire KHL team, and took me literally six months to write).

But this song.

I hope you like it.

Thank You

I hope I didn't wake you as I was getting out of bed
but there were some things running through my head
that I just had to write down
there's something 'bout hearing you breathing tonight
that made me have to leave your side
'cause my heart was loving too loud

CHORUS:
and now I'm thinking, thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
thank you (thank you)
thank you for your life
thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
and thank you (thank you)
thank you for being mine

you turn over and cover your eyes with your elbow
as a moonbeam peeks through the curtained window
and lights the sparks in your hair
something about this moment takes my breath away
there's a magic here I've rarely seen by day
so I just wanna stare

CHORUS:
because I'm thinking, thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
thank you (thank you)
thank you for your life
thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
and thank you (thank you)
thank you for being mine

BRIDGE:
if you needed it right now, I could fly through time
and bring about every dream you see in your mind
I hope you know I would break walls for you
and climb the stars like a ladder so you could reach the moon
I know we can't live forever, but we'll die trying
if tears were seconds with you, I'd never stop crying

you don't really ever snore, but you make little sounds
so I get up from the chair and lie back down
and you, you open those beautiful eyes (hi)
my head's on your shoulder, you've pulled me in close
I woke you up anyway, this I know
and I apologise

CHORUS:
but I just had to say, thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
thank you (thank you)
thank you for your life
thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you
and thank you (thank you)
thank you for being you

So, there it is.  I really hope you like it, but can, of course, understand if you don't.  Maybe next time I'll have "Hate You," for those who don't like this song and want less of a touchy-feely scenario.  I'm also working on a bit of a song about regrets, but not in the way you might think.

Much love, and thank you for the musik,

Just Another Ordinary Girl

And I thank you for my heart, and I thank you for my life.... I'm seeing for the first time the stars, the sun and moon, but they've got nothing on the power of this love I have for you.  And I thank you, I thank you.
