i'm feeling very very nostaligic these days...reason unknown...but, in the past few months, i've been listening more to a shitload of tunes from the 60's, 70's & 80's.
this music, even after all these years, has a profound effect on me....
almost all of the songs bring emotions out in me that i'd rather keep hidden from the world...from myself...
those closest to me know....
love
scares me now
love
is not, yet, what i seek in others
but
it's the songs of love that bring the most intense emotions from my pores and....
no other tune brings me to my knees with more intense emotions than this oldie from Gladys Knight...of course, we need to bring a certain word up to date here...strikeout the "boy" and replace with...mmm, yum, a "girl" ;-)
lyrics:
Ooh...ooh...
The moon above is shining bright
Come on, “girl” the time is right
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and just love me, ooh
There’s a mist of ecstasy
That’s flowing over me
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, oh, baby
My love is new, my love is sweet
Now’s the time that I’ll be sweet
Hold me, “girl”, don’t hesitate
I need you now, don’t make me wait
You’re the one that I adore
Tell me what are you waiting for
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, ooh
“Girl”, I’m hungry for your love
Give me what I’m in need of
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me
Oh, baby, come lets share the joy and splendor
Of this night warm and tender
Hold me tight, kiss me long
Make this night one sweet song
(Love me, love me) Ooh, sugar
My eager heart is pounding fast
Don’t lose the feeling, make it last
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me
Oh, baby, take me higher with the touch
That thrills me darling, oh, so much
Here I am (Here I am)
Take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby
This feeling is too strong and hard
Any second now Ill explode
Nows the time, nows the time
Take all of this love of mine
Love me, love me, love me, love me, come on and love me
Ill be true to you
Do what you want me to
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, oh, baby
Ill be true to you
And do what you want me to
Take me in your arms, take me in your arms and love me, baby, baby, baby
Ill be true to you
And do what you want me to
I can't listen to the songs that bring out the emotions I'm afraid of experiencing...not today, anyways. Too close to the bone. But I think I get where you are right now...I'm in a similar place.
ReplyDeletei hear ya Camlin....this song not so much as to where i'm at right now 'cause i'm not even sure where that is these days - lol - all kinds of conflicting stuff going on there. but everytime this particular song comes on, it reduces me to a quivering mess
ReplyDeletebut give yourself time, dear friend....go at your own pace, do what feels right for you...don't compromise yourself for the sake of others or their needs. move forward as each step feels confident enough for you to do so. now, i freakin' hope that makes sense! lol
