*soft sigh, and feelin’ all nostalgic* :)

Listenin’ to an old tape I’ve had for about a million years — I’ve loved it since I was 14.  “The Best of Bread”  …  It’s so dreamy ;)  The words so sweet, so bittersweet, to me they seem to be saying more than they’re saying…   

A few more drops in an ocean of synchronicity in my life…  I was just marveling at how this has stuck with me, my love for it, and how the first line of this album asks if we’ve ever really reached out for the “other side” :)  “Rainbows” and “dreams” …  how could this not be something that grabbed and held onto to me, paranormal “dreamer” and Libra that I am :)  

The “Diary” song gets me every time…    I loved when he said “her disconcerting air” …  At 14, I aspired to having such an “air” and rocking a guy’s world with it, heh-heh ;)   But I always cried at the point when he discovered she wasn’t talking about him in her diary, he wasn’t the love she spoke of…

And I get heart butterflies with “If” …  “Then one by one the stars would all go out, then you and I would simply fly away.”  Mmmmm, yummy sweet ;)

Happy Valentine’s Day,

“Make it With You”
by Bread

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.

Dreams they’re for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if youre wondering
What this song is leading to

I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

No, you dont know me well,
In evry little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And well see it through.

Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
Id like to help me through,

Id like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams theyre for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
Id like to help me through,

Id like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

“Diary”
by Bread

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me
The words shes written took me by surpise
Youd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldnt you know it, she wouldnt show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
Simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied,
Wouldnt you know it, she wouldnt show it.

And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
All the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love shed waited for was someone else not me
Wouldnt you know it, she wouldnt show it.

And as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things that she can find
All the sweet things they can find

========================

“If”
by Bread

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show the you Ive come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
Theres no one home but you,
You’re all thats left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I’d be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I’d spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away
