Music Video & Lyrics: Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life ((tags, media, video, YouTube, arts, entertainment music, love))

This is the first day of my life

I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am 
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you 
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up 
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you 
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

{Dedicated to Travis}

"Love anything, and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to be sure of keeping your heart intact you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safely in the casket of your selfishness. And in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will not change, it will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable and irredeemable. The only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the dangers of love is hell. " 
— C.S. Lewis

Kahlil Gibran on Marriage

On Marriage

 Kahlil GibranYou were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. 

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Music & Lyrics: Dolly Parton - Together You and I - With Dedication to TRDG

Together You And I by Dolly Parton Listen on Posterous

My love for you is deeper than the depths of any ocean, And as faithful as the stars that grace the night, As constant as the sun making its journey through heavens, and we'll always be together you and I. [Chorus] Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine. Paint a pretty rainbow, brushed with love across the sky, Together you and I belong, like a songbird and a song and we'll always be together you and I Life with you is sweeter than the fragrance of the flowers And as happy as the laughter of a child As peaceful as a river and as lasting as forever
you know we'll always be together you and I [Chorus] I always be beside or close behind you. Wherever you go, you'll always know I'll always find you [Chorus] We'll always be together, you and I Forever together, forever you and I (forever you and I) Forever together, together you and I will always be (together, together) Together, you and I...

WWII RADIO SONG AS PERFORMED BY THE OVALTINEYS & GRACIE FIELDS

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go, on my way.

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.
With a cheer, not a tear,make it gay.

Give me a smile,I can keep for a while,
In my heart while I'm away.

Till we meet once again you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go, on my way

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while,
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again You and I

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
