Stay By Me

by Annie Lennox
Stay by me
And make the moment last.
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times.
And I don’t care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We’re blind, we’re blind
So blind in love.
So blind in love.
Sweet darling
Don’t you know
That we’re no different to anyone?
We stumble
We falter
But we’re no different than anyone.
And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water
And we were standing in a thundercloud
Dark as your hair
Dark as your hair.
So blind in love.
So blind in love.

I like these lyrics. I'm not sure I've ever heard her song, so I may have to find it and hear it. She has an amazing voice.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Lisa! It felt like a good day for this song...

I'm still working through the idea of the blog that you inspired in me. It's about still loving parts of my mormon past. :)

I know. I've had it in my mind all weekend. But I don't know what I want to say yet. It could be difficult.

Good luck!

Ooh, where was I in 1981...

Do you really want to know? :)

You're not old. You only think you are. There's a difference.

Want to know old...my first "album" was Blondie and Loverboy!!

Gorgeous song. I'm swooning.

"Please take these lips
even if I have been kissed
A million times."

All I can say now is: chapstick.

Or that stuff that makes lips kind of puffed and tingly.

Then more kissing.

I used to listen to the Beach Boys on 8-track.

Okay, I was like 6, but still.

My kids love it when I crank up the Eurithmics "These dreams are made of these...Who am I to disagree? I've travelled the world and the Seven Seas...Eeeeveryboooody's lookin' for somethin'"

Maybe we're all just old souls, and not actually OLD. Right???
