Because You Love Me

I was glad to have friends around who know how much I love music. One bought me a FM modulator that allow me to play MP3 in my car, so I have lovely songs accompany me when I drive. And another friend bought me a good earphone so that I can have some nice music before I sleep or when I am lying down on my bed or sofa. Last weekend, friend of mine brought his speakers to my house and we had a Sunday with all the beautiful music (I know the speaker suits my house so I am putting it in my 2009 budget :P). It was a great time! And of cause, thanks to another friend who gave me 2 wonderful CDs - one is Celine Dion greatest hits and another one is Mariah Carey greatest hit, both are latest release. Great gift to buy and give to your friends as a Christmas gift.

Here I share with you, another favorite song of mine. See who will be the lucky guy I will sing this too :) Check out the lyric.... have you found someone you can sing this too? FYI, I am a big fan of Celine Dion and when I was young, I actually have my english name as Celine and not Reese :)


Because You Love Me by Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Taking You Home

When me and my girl friends were talking about song they will choose for their wedding, especially the one playing when the bride and groom walk on the red carpet to greet the guest (I am sure everyone of you have a song you have chosen, whether or not you are still single or going to get married soon, Beautiful Wedding is always the dream of every girls).

This is one of my favorite, I heard this song 7-8 years ago, during Mel's wedding, my 1st friend's grand wedding attended in KL, and this song has been my favorite since then :)

Taking You Home by Don Hanley

I had a good life
before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my name

Still there was sorrow and emptynes
till you made me glad
oh and this love
i found strength
never knew i had

And this love
Is like nothing i have ever known
Take my hand
Im taking you home
Taking you home

There were days, lonely days
When the world
Wouldnt throw me a crumb
But i kept on believin
That this day would come

And this love
Is like nothig like i have ever known baby
Take my hand
Im takin you home
Im taking you home
Where we can be with the ones who really care
Home
Where we can throw together
Keep you in my heart forever

Oh and this love
Is like nothing i have ever known
Take my hand
Taking you home
Taking you home

Yes I am

Cheers, my friend!

Wednesday night...
We had a wonderful night out together, just the two of us, two wonderful friends with some drinks and nice live bands playing all our favorite songs, including the song "Fen Xiang" for the second time after a special request by us.

We always have so much to share, so much to tell each other what happened around us. I still remembered the last time we met, we were standing right outside my car and talked for an hour. Our topic - friendship, relationship, beauty.... She indeed inspire me how to be a beautiful, attractive and confident woman. She also my source of advice in term of relationship, as I trust her a lot. And I also appreciate her for being a good listener to me too when I need.

We cheers for being happy single women, cheers for the love we have and cheers for the experience love has walked us through and of cause cheers for the friendship and wonderful night we have. As I don't drink beer after my bad experience few years back, specially for her and the wonderful night, I said Yes to beer and I guess I am ok with it right now, but let just start with one at a time :)

Friend, this song is for you! Hope you like the lyric and I will share with you the song soon :) Take care and may our friendship forever. I will always remember what you said "Have faith... for love"

You've Got A Friend by Stacey Kent
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think for me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes, I will
You've a friend

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon, you'll hear me knocking upon your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes, I will

Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you
And desert you
And they'll take your soul if you let them
But don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've a friend

The Time of My Life

by David Cook. Another song i crazy about and i am waiting for his album, i love his voice. Other than him, I also like Chris Daughtry. Let me know if you like them too ?

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart


and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

LUCKY

by Jason Mraz feat Colbie Caillat

Another beautiful song & lyric to share with you guys!!

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 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
I'm lucky we're in love in 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
And though the breeze is through the 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

SOULMATE

SOULMATE BY NATASHA BEDINGFIELD - Lately, I like the song mainly because of the meaningful lyrics which make me pay more attention to it. That also answer why I only like singers who can sing out the lyric clearly. This is my latest favorite, hope you like it too.

SOULMATE means a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.

SCORPIO - The Addict

Pick this up from my friend's email.
