Post #642: Mike + The Mechanics - "All I Need Is A Miracle" - Mike + The Mechanics

Hot on the heels of my recent cupcake posts, a very dear friend sent me this sweet little reminder, which for some reason then reminded me of today's tune that I absolutely loved when I was a kid:

Until next time...

XOXOXO

I said "Go if you wanna go

Stay if you wanna stay"

I didn't care if you hung around me

I didn't care if you went away

And I know you were never right

I'll admit I was never wrong

I could never make up my mind

I made it up as I went along

And though I treated you like a child

I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

I never had any time

And I never had any call

But I went out of my way just to hurt you

The one I shouldn't hurt at all

I thought I was being cool

Yeah, I thought I was being strong

But it's always the same old story

You never know what you've got 'til it's gone

If I ever catch up with you

I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

And if I ever catch up with you

I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

All I need is a, all I need is a,

All I need is you (all I need is a miracle)

Post #641: The Rave-Ups - "Positively Lost Me" - Town + Country

I think I'll just let today's visuals speak for themselves ---

Until next time...

You lost a lot when you lost me

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

A looking glass and a diamond ring, yeah

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

A looking glass and a diamond ring

You lost me and you lost some dreams

Oh, you lost your cool, you lost your keys

And then you lost a sense of honesty

Two blankets and a bookshelf piece

Two blankets and a bookshelf piece

A picture frame and a couple keys

Two blankets and a bookshelf piece

A picture frame and a couple keys

Stole a couple of dollars that I won't see

Two blankets and a bookshelf piece

A picture frame and a couple keys

Stole a couple of dollars that I won't see

You lost a lot when you lost me

You lost my face, you lost my laugh

and then you lost my confidence

And after work when there is no moon

And the boys come, come at the studio

Well, you win some smiles and answer phones

And you count 'em answers on eleven toes

Well, this little piggie went home

You lost a lot when you lost me

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

A looking glass and a diamond ring

You lost a lot when you lost me 

Six paperback books and a dying tree

A looking glass and a diamond ring

Whoa, you lost a lot when you lost me

You lost my face, you lost my laugh

and then you lost my confidence

She loves me, she loves me not

Show this piggie the way home

Post #640: Elvis Presley - "Such A Night" - Elvis Is Back

Sometimes, when life sucks as much as it does at the current moment, eating a vanilla bean cream-filled cupcake while listening to Elvis somehow seems to make everything better!  Oh, and if you're concerned that all of this cupcake eating may be packing on the weight, I assure that the stress from my current work situation has completely suppressed my appetite, and I've seriously shed at least 10 pounds, despite my cupcake intake!!!

Until next time...

XOXOXO

It was a night oo-oo what a night 

It was it really was such a night 

The moon was bright oh how so bright 

It was it really was such a night 

The night was alight with stars above 

Oo-oo when she kissed me 

I had to fall in love 

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss 

It was it really was such a kiss 

Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss 

It was it really was such a kiss 

Just the thought of her lips 

Sets me afire 

I reminisce and I'm filled with desire 

But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender 

How well I remember, I'll always remember 

Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night 

It was it really was such a night 

Came the dawn and my heart and her love 

And the night was gone 

But I'll never forget the kiss 

The kiss in the moonlight 

Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night 

It was a night oo-oo what a night 

It was it really was such a night 

Came the dawn and my heart and her love 

And the night was gone 

But I'll never forget the kiss 

The kiss in the moonlight 

How well I remember, I'll always remember 

That night oo-oo what a night 

It was it really was such a night 

When we kissed I had to fall in love 

But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender 

How well I remember, I'll always remember 

Oh that night oo-oo what a night 

It was it really was such a night 

When we kissed I had to fall in love 

Well she's gone, gone, gone 

Yes she's gone, gone, gone 

Came the dawn, dawn, dawn 

And my love was gone 

But before that dawn 

Yes before that dawn and before that dawn 

Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo 

Such a night
