Sometimes I get a little contemplative.

However, instead of the long ole ramblings that were originally here... I have edited this post. Trust me... you didn't miss anything.

My contemplative mood prompted me to post my new favorite song here. It's a bit contemplative as well. I say "new" favorite because I've discovered (in my old age) I don't ever have a favorite song or artist for very long anymore. One will touch on something inside of me and stick for just a little while.....(Downhere's "A Better Way" for instance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NegD8s3pUpw) until the next one comes along and strikes another nerve. The lyrics are below the video. It'll make you think a bit. Maybe?



33 Miles-- One Life to Love

He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Until he started praying for, a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed

He tells his wife, "I wish that this moment in this room was not me dying, but just spending a little time with you."

You only get just one time around
You only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life...
To love....

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left
Til she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
The sun had set on her big plans
To feel young again

She picks up the phone, dials the number, hears that little voice
That's haunted every single mile, since she made that choice

You only get just one time around
You only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life...
To love............

You only get just one time around

One ride, one try, one life........
To love....
