As easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song....

Day eight: A song you know all the lyrics to.

So I read that and I was like, "This is going to be easy!"

And then I started remembering every song I know all the lyrics too, and.... and....

BRAIN FREEZE!

I know all the lyrics to every song I really like. That is so many songs. And anyone who's followed my blog for any length of time knows that I have a major problem with making decisions. 


But after much vacillating... and some helpful ideas from Amy, I finally made up my mind. 

Only An Ocean Away 

I see a shadow every day and night, 
I used to walk the streets of neon lights
only when I'm crying,
Oh, can you hear me crying. 


So many times, you always wanted more. 
Chasing illusions that you're longing for.
Wish I wasn't crying.
Oh, can you hear me crying?

There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me,
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime, it goes on forever.
But it helps to remember:
you're only an ocean away.


Was there a moment when I felt no pain?
I'd like to feel it in my life again;
let it be over now.
Oh, oh, over now.


'Cause I remember all those days and nights.
We used to walk the streets of neon lights.


Oh, I want you here with me. 
Oh, be here with me.


There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me. 
You reach out and touch me, 
I feel you in my own heart. 
More than a lifetime still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember:
you're only an ocean away.


So many times you always wanted more.
Chasing illusions that you're longing for.

Wish I wasn't crying. 
Can you hear me crying?


There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.


You reach out an touch me, 
I feel you in my own heart.


More than a lifetime,
it seems like forever.
But I'll always remember:


You're only an ocean away.


Only an ocean away....




It's a really pretty song, isn't it?

Cheers and God bless....

  1. That is a pretty song! I like the pictures you picked too.

    And to answer your question, the "We leave...in five hours." quote is from Flushed Away, when the French frogs are trying to find the rat

    1. I can't just know the refrain! If I know part of a song, I HAVE to learn it all, or I go mad.

      I'm glad you liked it.... it's super fun to sing, too.

    1. Hi, River!! Welcome! :D

      I know, her voice is BRILLIANT! She was the original Christine in the Phantom of the Opera. That musical was written for her voice.

      I didn't take the photos, I must admit.... I'm rubbish at picture taking. I leave that to my sister. lol.

      Hehe, there are some songs that I only know the lyrics too when I listen to the music. :D
