There are songs that have "chosen" certain people I love. Some have come because of circumstance, all of them involve special memories. It is something that has been felt deeply and everytime I hear those songs, I think of that particular person I love. (You have probably noticed I don't get too personal while blogging, and this is personal, but it's Valentine's Day...my blog is private...one of my New Year's Resolutions is to loosen up a little- put myself "out there" a little more, if you will...so here it goes!
"Queen of My Heart" (Westlife)-- Jason
This is a boyband that most of you probably haven't heard of. I admit--I like them. This isn't what I would consider "our song" but it has become one over the past few years that I can't listen to without crying. It reminds me of the moments that have torn my heart in pieces as I have had to say goodbye to my love. Airports are always involved in these memories. "I'll always look back as I walk away. This memory will last for eternity. But all of our tears will be lost in the rain, when I find my way back to your arms again. And until that day, you know you are the Queen of my Heart."
"You'll Be in My Heart" (Phil Collins)-- Maxon
When Maxon was just a couple of days old, I was singing lullabies to him. I started singing the lullaby version of this song (from Tarzan) and couldn't even finish because I was so emotional. Now when I hear it, I remember those first few days as a mother and the great love I felt for my sweet baby boy.
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (Roberta Flack)-- Evelyn
My sister Julie made a playlist for me to listen to while I labored with Evelyn. This song came on the playlist...we were all standing in the kitchen just talking...I was doing my "laboring rock" (side-to-side)...I listened to the words and just started crying. That's when it became Evelyn's song. I thought of this little baby inside of me that was going to be in my arms so soon...it was really happening...I was going to see my daughter's beautiful little face for the very first time.
I have some that belong to other members of my family, but they'll have to be postponed for a moment or two. Something seems to have gotten into my eyes...excuse me...

I'm glad you posted this. I feel the same way about being personal--and emotional--on my blog. I always delete my posts hoping that nobody saw before I removed it, ha. I'm trying to put myself out there a bit more as well because otherwise I just say the same things over and over. So good job! I like hearing more from you.
oh I loved this blog. At least you get emotional. I'm the tin man. As for your last paragraph..you MUST youtube Flight of the Conchords "I'm not Cryin" Seriously, do it. Maybe it can be my song. :)
ahem... I think you left someone off... "My song for Tracie would be _________________". (Fill in the blank). Happy anniversary!! Stay away from that 7-year itch!
Tracie: almost the title of my blog (7 year itch). Decided it wasn't the best idea after all. My song for Tracie would be...Barbie Girl...no...that's Ellie...hmmm...You're coming. Some day I'll get around to the others. Thanks for commenting, by the way.
