And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind Cause I'll be loving you always
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4 (ALWAYS)
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you're loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (ALWAYS)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I'll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Always)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Always)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky - Loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high - Loving you
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea - Loving you
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream - Be loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day - Loving you
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away - Loving you
Until the day that 8x8x8x8 is 4 - Loving you
Until the day that is the day that are no more - Loving you
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left - Be loving you
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself - Loving you
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through - Loving you
Until the day that you are me and I am you...
Now ain't that loving you
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky - Loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high - Loving you
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea - Loving you
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream - Be loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day - Loving you
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away - Loving you
Until the day that 8x8x8x8 is 4 - Loving you
Until the day that is the day that are no more - Loving you
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left - Be loving you
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself - Loving you
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through - Loving you
Until the day that you are me and I am you...
Now ain't that loving you
"As" - Stevie Wonder
Happy New Year to all three of you that read this. Just looking at the last minutes of January and realized I hadn't written anything all year... As predicted 2011 would start off a busy one... started things off with closing things off with my old company, and transitioning into another role 2 blocks down the street - an incredible opportunity for me where I have learned a lot in just two weeks (that new paycheck isn't too shabby either!)
Last week I was driving into work and Soultown on Sirius Satellite Radio had me jamming into the job with this classic Stevie Wonder song... had me thinking back to days when it was all so simple... before Nia Long and Taye Diggs had their "moment" in The Best Man, you could find that album being played on South Gordon Street in southwest Atlanta on a Saturday morning... after the cartoons have gone off and it was time to clean up my room and wash clothes, and mop the kitchen floor... Listening to Youngblood talk all over whatever record he was playing... me just trying to hurry up and get things done so I could go outside and ride my bike.
I was talking to a good friend this evening and she was telling me how much she enjoyed her 20s. I tried to sit up and think about what part of my life I enjoyed the most, and to be honest I must say the best time of my life was before I was even 10 years old... didn't have to worry about a light bill, or wonder where my next meal was coming from... and all I had to do was clean up the house a bit? Wash the car? Childs play. Literally.
I hope my newly arrived nephew appreciates how easy he has it right now... when he starts complaining about doing some menial task, send him my way and I will show him what some hard work really is (I already heard my sister yelling out "Hell naw" after reading that last sentence).
Anyway, it's way past my bedtime... until Mother Nature says her work is through...
