Way back in the early 1980’s a song called “Words” by F.R. David was a huge hit. The first time I sang this song was in 1985 and it was in a library, for a girl I liked. She had to ask me, way back then I wasn’t as confident with girls as I am these days, so I humoured her. Anyways, getting to the immediate point, sometimes words actually ain’t enough. Sometimes things are best left unsaid. Sometimes less is more, or so I’ve heard. Therefor, without making any speeches, I’ll just post a song and some pictures and leave it at that.
Goodbye my lover - James Blunt
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what’s mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won’t stop there,
I am here for you if you’d only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I’ve been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit - it’s my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile.
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while.
I’d be the father of your child.
I’d spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine,
And I love you, I swear that’s true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I’m asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow

Ouch! Dankie tog jy plaas net die woorde, en nie ‘n youtube link nie! Wil nou nie ligtelik hier klink nie, maar as daar een song is wat my met ‘n stomp mes na my polse laat mik…

DM, ek weet nie wie die girlie is nie, maar sy is pragtig en jy is obviously depressed. Skreeu maar as ek kan help en as jy nie skreeu nie gaan my Vrydag possie beslis daai foto hê, net om jou te remind hoe ver het jy gekom van toe af. Sterkte ou maatjie.

Ek huil altyd as ek die liedjie hoor. Jy behoort te weet. Dis een van die hartseerste songs ooit.

Het iemand vir my ‘n rasper wat polse stadig sal afrasper? Dis mooi woorde, maar as ek na die song moet luister sal ek regtig my polse moet afsaag! Dis net TE depressing!
Da, lig jou boude van daai stoel af, gryp ‘n sigaret, klap jou hakke teen mekaar en stap wipgat buitentoe en rook die witwax uit die doodskis-spyker uit!! Daar is nie tyd in die lewe vir depressed wees nie! Ek verskoon jou vir vandag, maar môre beweeg jy weer aan okay??
((((((((((DA))))))))))

Nee kyk “Words” het al sy ding gedoen en is al bietjie (of baie) afgeleef, maar ek verstaan wat jy probeer sê.
Sterkte DM.

Hier lees ek toe Elisabeth Eybers vanaand en tref die woorde - toe dink ek ek deel dit met jou:
Stilte
Ek het vergeet, vergeet
hoe mens jou blootstel, hoe jy jou laat beseer
deur onmatig van ‘n ander mens te hou
Jou volsinne het my nooit die les geleer
wat jou swye my toevertrou

Emil, jy sê ditasof dit sleg is! LOL!
