Ok, so anyone who looks at this blog with any regularity might question, is kate turning this into a lyrics blog? NO. I just happen to be noticing lyrics lately for different circumstances. Am I making a soundtrack to my life...no, not yet. It's not that. I know other people think this too though....sometimes there is a song, on the radio, stuck in your mind, in the grocery store...and it fits your moment or someone perfectly.
I listened to a cast from NPR/this american life once about this too...it was great.
Today I was coming home from a Spanish lesson and on the radio is Ms. Whitney Houston with a way back song and I immediately thought, whoa, this is going to make a great dedication as last night, I was 'sentenced' to a punishment...

Whitney Houston

I hope that you realize baby, just what you mean to me
Hey you where I run for cover, your loving shelter for me
And when I find myself needing some lifting up
One night with you and that always is enough
Hey you make being in love, a true rare affair
So take me Im your prisoner

Chorus:
Will you sentence me to be your lover for life
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me, I want to be you lover for life
Your lover for life

I just want to hear you say
Youll be my lover, lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You're my lover, my lover for life

Under your spell or under my own power
It really doesnt matter to me
See I fell in love the first time I saw you
And have been falling in love ever since

You heard my testimony, youve seen my evidence
Hey, its a crime of passion, in every sense
And justice wont be served, till you stay here in my world
Take me Im your prisoner
