I wake up with a song in my head almost every morning. Usually it is a song that it in my iTunes library, but not always. I intend to blog these songs and whatever else is on my mind when I wake up.
Today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary. The last time I posted here was a year ago for the same reason. I was looking at the post and at my iTunes this morning. It seems that Al Jarreau is quite popular for songs that I like to express my love and gratitude for my wife. The song that first came to mind was last year's song; so I thought I would use a different song that we liked from the same period.
I truly believe that my wife is one in a million. She allows me to be me; I really appreciate that. Happy Anniversary.
Save Me - Al Jarreau
Here is a live version:
Another song that I think is fitting is Sure Enough with Randy Crawford. Because, when I first met my wife I was struck immediately and the feeling has never quit.
Yes, 30 years of marriage! It seems like quite the milestone to me. I think each additional year will be a bonus. In celebration and reflection I've picked a couple of songs which are significant to me and our marriage either from listening to them together or the special meaning of the song. It seems I still really like the Tenderness CD by Al Jarreau; we have enjoyed that CD immensely.
We're In This Love Together - Al Jarreau It takes two for a marriage to work.
We Got By - Al Jarreau I've written about this song before. With the Lord's help we always get by and some perseverance (or is it tenacity). We have been able to work well together as a team.
Tenderness - Al Jarreau It helps to treat each other with some tenderness, understanding, and affection.
Better Together - Jack Johnson I believe we compliment each other; we are better together.
Better With You - Five Times August I find that life is so much better sharing it with my beautiful wife
Better Than Anything - Natalie Cole & Diana Krall Yes, the love we share is better than anything I know.
Best Is Yet To Come - Grover Washington Jr. featuring Patti LaBelle As long as we believe...
Here's to more marital happiness and bliss for many years to come.
I listened to a cover of this song the other day. I figure that is why I woke up with this song in my head this morning. The video is a slide show of album art, some of which I've never seen before.
This praise song has been on my mind for at least the past month when I wake up. It is not always easy to surrender; I like to believe I have control, but I don't.
This is for my beautiful wife. It is hard for me to explain how I only see her and how, to me, she is always beautiful. I've been skimming through my iTunes music library and stumbled across this song. It really made me think of her so I'm posting this YouTube video I found. This is for the one I love.
