~Favorite Power Song's~





Spill the Wine


I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high by the mountain tops

Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said,


Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

I thought to myself, what could that mean
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream
Now wait a minute
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

So it's all in my head
And then I heard her say one more time

Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine dig that girl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said

Take the wine dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, dig that girl

Spill the wine, dig that girl
Take that girl, yeah!
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Dig that girl!

Back To The Future Part1: The Power Of Love





The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love


Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round


[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/h/huey+lewis+and+the+news/the+power+of+love_20066339.html ]
Chorus 2 :
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm



Chorus 3 :
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...Tweety’s ready for Thursday. Me, too!

Today didn’t start well...when I got to work, no internet. Our whole system is internet run. It took almost 3 hours to get it back. Made for a rough 3 hours to get everything ready by check printing time. There is a reason I do homework on Tuesdays. You never know how much time you will need for making corrections, etc, until you go thru most everything.

Still basking in your Nate time?

Welcome to the Canteen, smalltownslick...it is a powerful song. And John Conlee knows of what he sings.....

June 1, 2006

Grand Ole Opry member John Conlee's son has returned from the war in Iraq with a Purple Heart medal. Marine Lance Cpl. Johnny Conlee served in combat operations against insurgents around Fallujah and provided security for the Iraqi elections. While on a mission in Anbar province in December 2005, his unit was hit by an improvised explosive device, and he was awarded the Purple Heart for shrapnel wounds received in combat. "It's a sacrifice to serve and to be among those who wait," John Conlee said. "But it's important to the country, and we are very proud."

To: Kathy in Alaska

No, I didn’t know any of this. I just remember the first time I heard John do this on the Opry, I was mesmerized. The message was so strong. (The way music used to be - a strong message that would draw you in) But I hadn’t heard about any of his personal involvement. I thank him every day for such a great song/message, and for his own family’s involvement. And you for pointing it out to me.

I just stumbled over the back story when I was looking for the song. It made it all the more powerful. Glad you enjoyed.
