when did you fall
i havent blogged in ages. must be the longest break ever eh? just that work's been really bad and stuff that ive been dealing with arent all share-able if you know what i mean ;) nevertheless ill try again to start the habit of dropping by once in abit to share thoughts & whatnots... in a weird way i miss the interactivity i get at this place. today, we will start light by me sharing (yet another) song i like... im falling for (pun!!). its called when did you fall by chris rice. the kind of song you wish the friend you fell for sang to you. really sweet & tune's great too. chris rice reminds me abit of jack johnson & jason mraz & ben folds rolled in one. shd check this out When Did You Fall You’re all smiles and silly conversation As if this sunny day came just for you You twist your hair, you smile and you turn your eyes away C’mon, tell me what’s right with you Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’ And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize ‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at it’s joke on me I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise Chorus: When did you fall in love with me Was it out of the blue ‘Cause I swear I never knew it When did you let your heart run free Have you been waiting long When did you fall in love with me When did you fall in love Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time All the ones that slipped by me I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’ Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize ‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now Right there before my eyes You’re my beautiful surprise Was it at the coffee shop Or that morning at the bus stop When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand Or the time we built the snowman The day at the beach, sandy and warm Or the night with the scary thunderstorm I never saw the signs Now we’ve got to make up for lost time And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me I’d better finish this song so my lips will be free Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall Have you been waiting long When did you fall in love with me When did you fall in love? |

this brings to mind my theory that the best place to find love is with the Friend. the Friend is the person you met & clicked with at an instant, a buddy, someone you counted on through the years but never expected to fall for. the Friend you meet for supper at a moment's notice - the one you dont mind meeting without makeup, with your glasses on & in full madhair glory cos you dont need to impress him. the Friend you cried to when your heart was broken, the Friend who knows your evil, dark side, your vulnerabilities, fears, how badly you can whine sometimes and accepts you despite of it. he/she is the person you subconsciously fell for but didnt know. and when you both realise, its truly a beautiful surprise.
haha i speak like ive found him, this Friend. well actually, i have but he's lost now. God willing, i might find another this lifetime :)

hey roofie! thanks for dropping by & for the sweet comments & encouragement :) you have a blog yourself?
btw, chris rice is available at trumpet praise (plaza sing), he's supposedly a christian singer but this album entitled amusing actually sounds secular to me... hes not exactly like jack johnson, but great listening anyways. i like the lyrics ;) enjoy!
