The Story
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
And baby I broke them all for you
Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
Oh yeah and its true, that I was made for you

Let It Be Me
There may come a time,
A time in everyones life
Where nothin seems to go your way
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time,
You just cant seem to find your way
For every door you walk on to,
Seems like they get slammed in your face
Thats when you need someone,
Someone that you can call.
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let It Be Me
Let it be me
If its a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Feels like your always commin on
Homepockets full of nothin
And you got no cash
No matter where you turn
You aint got no place to stand
Reach out for something
And they slap your hand
Now I remember all to well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you'd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
Thats when you need someone,
Someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

I'm a Jayhawk
Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcats,and those Cornhuskin' boys,
But I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wail.
CHORUS:'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw'
Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.
Got a bill that's big enough
To twist the Tiger's tail
Husk some corn and listen To the Cornhusker's wail-
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.
-By George "Dumpy" Bowles(Revised, October 1958, to conform with Big Eight Conference Team names.)

My Valentine song- Lucky
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair though the breezes through trees Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where
I have been Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

An oldie but a goody
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh, yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clovers
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last
- Etta James

I'll Stand by you
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through'cause

Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when the night falls on you,
You're feeling all alone

Some more lyrics I love...
I bawl everytime I hear this song now. It makes me think of who we've lost...
Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance.
Written by Tony Arata , Sang by Garth Brooks

Simple Man
I heard this song today and the lyrics are just so beautiful...
Well, Momma told me
When I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
You'll find a woman
And you'll find love
And don't forget that there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can
Forget your lust
For rich man's gold
All that you need now
Is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son, if you can
Oh, don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
So baby, be a simple be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
Well, Momma told me
When I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this, it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
You'll find a woman
And you'll find love
And don't forget that there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can
Forget your lust
For rich man's gold
All that you need now
Is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man

Baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son, if you can
Oh, don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else

All that I want from you my son, is to be satisfied

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
So baby, be a simple be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
Quotes to chew on...
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. Eleanor Roosevelt
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it is because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. Winston Churchill
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them. Ronald Reagan
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Da ta Dada, Da da dada Da - Naked Man! I try to watch that program "How I met your momma" after watching it with you guys there Thanksgiving. Be vewy careful what you say and do whe you have baby monitors. MUD
My mother told me that I wanted to go around naked. I guess I escaped from the house as well with no clothes on. I don't remember ever going to school and taking off my clothes but I do dream that I am at work or school without clothes.Have no Idea!!
Love Grandma Ike
When the boys had chicken pox, they were more comfortable without clothes. The benefit was that Joe potty trained himself that week! Something to look forward to.
