Tunes on Tuesday

This is a song by Train. It is one of my favorite songs. I actually was able to go to one of their concerts when we were here last time in Sierra Vista. The lead singer, Pat Monaham, said that this song was dedicated to all those that lost a spouse due to war.


{I couldn't find the video that I wanted, so just close your eyes and listen to the music}

"When I Look to the Sky" Train {My Private Nation}
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me there you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

What I like about this song is that it puts things into perspective. How many times have you left something unsaid because you where to busy to sit and have a conversation. When was the last time you let loose and danced in the kitchen together? Stopped where you where and looked at that sunset. We don't know when the end will be, and often time there is no forwarning.

The reason why this song hits home is because of our situation. When the husband was in Iraq there were a couple weeks that I had panic attacks. I was really depressed, and just felt something was wrong. I didn't say anything to him until he came home, and comparing our time lines, during those times were the times that he was in a dangerous situations. I'm so thankful that the Lord protected him.

I try really hard not to leave things unsaid. Sweetie, I love you and I'm so glad that I can have you here with me everyday, touch you every day, and tell you that I love you every day. When the day come that one of is gone, I want you to know that you make me so happy, and I can spead my wings and I hope that I can always do the same for you!!
