lyrical longing

[superkindofgirl]

ive been listening to a lot of john prine lately...

i love you so much it hurts me
darling thats why im so blue
im so afraid to go to bed at night
afraid of losing you

i love you so much it hurts me
and theres nothing i can do
i want to hold you my dear
forever and ever

i love you so much it hurts me so

i love you so much it hurts me
and theres nothing i can do
i want to hold you my dear
forever and ever...

and this james taylor song makes me a little sad, for reasons ill leave unsaid...

theres something in the way she moves
or looks my way, or calls my name
that seems to leave this troubled world behind
if im feeling down and blue
or troubled by some foolish game
she always seems to make me change my mind

and i feel fine anytime she's around me now
shes around me now
almost all of the time
and if im well you can tell shes been with me now
and shes been with me now
quite a long, long time
and i feel fine

every now and then the things i lean on lose their meaning
and i find myself convening
in places where i should not let me go
she has the power to go where no one else can find me
yes and to silently remind me
of the happiness and good times that i know
but i said i just got to know them

it isnt what shes got to say
or how she thinks or where shes been
to me the words are nice the way they sound
i like to hear them best that way
it doesnt much matter what they mean
well she says them mostly to calm me down

and i feel fine anytime shes around me now
shes around me now
almost all the time
if im well you can tell that shes been with me now
and shes been with me now
quite a long long time
yes and i feel fine....

sigh, i miss mn
