Tomorrow isn't promised...
So I'm stuck on Pink's new CD. Can't thank Dee enough for sending it to me. I didn't get into Pink much when she first came out but I liked a few of her tracks. She can definitely blow (my way of saying 'sing'). I've never had an entire CD of hers before, but through the years there were always a few songs I've really liked.
This new album in particular has a lot of songs I can identify with. I'm convinced Pink is the white version of me. lol Some of them are spirited and light-hearted, others have really deep meaning. I've got alot of love for Pink now, some of the songs feel like someone took a peek inside my soul. "Who Knew" is one of them.
I had a pivotal person in my life that made all the difference in how I saw myself and saw the world. I had a rather oppressive childhood and he broke the chains. He believed in me and in turn, taught me how to believe in myself. I know I wouldnt be the person I am now if he didnt enter my life. I dont know if I'd even be here had he not entered my life. Though I loved him with all my heart, and I know he loved me just as much if not more -we werent lovers. He was my bestfriend.
But life has a funny way of getting busy. And before everyone had a cell or an email addy or IMs... I was in the Army moving around and the phone number I had for him was no longer good. Its been a decade since I've heard from him. And I doubt I will ever hear from him again.
I've searched as best as I've been able to, but I cant find you Damon. Hope life
has been good to you as you were to me. This song is for you, I couldnt have written it better if I wrote it myself.
Pink ~Who Knew
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give
Anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still, you said forever
And ever
Who knew
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
(Until we)Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
