"When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you

Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you'd say I know this can't be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them "I love you"

When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you

The one for whom you'd give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through you tears you'd ask why did you go
Knowing you didn't always show
Just how much you loved them so"

These Three Words, Stevie Wonder

Let me chew this one over for the day, and I will think of a few.. 2-year-old nieces running around are not conductive to thought! (no, this is not my lyric post, lol.)

"If you step into the ring, be prepared to swing, WHAT!"

hahahaha

A lot of the songs that have touched me deeply are from my life long love of country music. Our home was filled with it, my family even had a band for sometime when I was a kid.

I was raised by my grandparents but I called them Mom and Dad and they truly were the parents of my heart and soul. They've both passed on now and I miss them every day. When Daddy went suddenly of a heart attack and I had to deal with it, the hardest thing at his funeral was seeing his always moving, always expressive, big work hardened hands laying at rest....quiet forever. This song and it's lyrics still bring tears after 15 years but they are the good healing tears so I don't mind them so much.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

I remember Daddy´s hands, working 'til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I´d live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands.

~Daddy's Hands performed by Holly Dunn~

10 years later Momma followed him but we lost her to cancer which is so much worse. A song was there to help me understand it would be okay to say goodbye and let her find her peace even though we all wanted more time with this wonderful lady.

Sitting with mama alone in her bedroom
She opened her eyes and then squeezed my hand
She said "I have to go now my time here is over"
And with her final words she tried to help me understand

Mama whispered softly "Time will ease your pain"
"Life's about changing nothing ever stays the same"
And she said

"How can I help you to say goodbye"
"It's okay to hurt and it's okay to cry"
"Come let me hold you and I will try"
"How can I help you to say goodbye"

~How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye performed by Laura Branigan~

My third choice is a toughie. Split between two songs really so I'm listing both.

The first always makes me smile and love being female and chuckle a bit at how we women confuse and confound any males in our lives. Very affirming song LOL.

I'm a b*tch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

~B*tch performed by Meredith Brooks~

This song always reminds me to keep believing, keep striving, keep engaging life even when life isn't much fun or I fail. It's a song that touches my soul and helps me remember to never give up and to ride out the rough patches as best I can rather than be too afraid to even try.

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.. yes


~The River performed by Garth Brooks~
