Ever Growing

I have something to tell you.

and for those of you who know me well, you may be surprised?

and for those who know me really really well ...

may not be surprised at all.

or perhaps I could be completely wrong!

The truth of the matter is

I am a hopeless romantic

yes 'tis true.

In my mind I expect all gentlemen to have that Mr. Darcy persona
They will open doors, speak in a gentlemanly way, bring flowers, write love letters

dote on the one they are smitten with and know how to dance well.

see? hopeless romantic you may say.

I used to gag at the thought of romance novels,

or a movie that involved any sort of romantic vibe.

I was an avid and devout tomboy as a kid you see....

still am in many, many ways.

But I seem to be merging towards the middle in some areas now.

Romance is one of them.

I relish a good novel, or movie that demonstrates the way a real gentleman treats a lady.

sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.

What is all this leading to you say? I found a beautiful. simply lovely. song.

and I was afraid if I didn't explain myself before posting it I would send out the wrong message.

ha ha.... such a worry wart I am.

( or perhaps I just wanted another excuse to talk about Mr. Darcy)

And noo, I do not have a "special someone" right now that this song is personally directed to.

believe me. you would know!

I just thought it was beautiful.

It is simple, and doesn't just talk about the "fireworks" side of love. =]

Here is the song.

and here are the lyrics. Enjoy!

I've been waiting all my life for this morning

Just to wake up next to you holding me

And your head is resting gently on my shoulder

Like you're whispering to me

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

So glad I found you

I'm in love with you

When we're leaving dreams and rolling back the covers

All at once we're getting ready for the day

It's when you look at me in the mirror while you're shaving

Before I go on my way, you say

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

You're the one I choose ‘Cause I'm in love

Love is joy and love is pain

It's kissing in the rain

It's doing dishes when it's late Isn't it, baby

It's the art of compromise

It's hellos and long goodbyes

It's the picture of our lives

Isn't it crazy

So I'll call you when I get to where I'm going

And I'll tell everyone we know you said hello

And without fail they'll ask me if I miss you

Of course I do, you know I do

‘Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

You're the one I choose

I'm in love I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

I love you just the same as I did the day I fell in love with you

Joy Williams is one of my FAVORITE female artists. amazing.
