Happy Song Lyric Sunday…

Glad to be back. Been on the DL for a bit had some dental work done last week so I’ve been working on that recovery. Good to happen now as it’s still the Winter in Chicago and it was verrrryyy cold, brrrrr last week but now they’re saying 50’s this week. That sounds about right for Chicago in the Midwest during February. Hopefully March will come in like a lamb, but then we’ll have to wait and see hoping it doesn’t go out like a lion 😉 …

Today the prompt for SLS is, the title of the song is also the title of the movie. Thanks Mr. Jim, always love you post’s !!! I’m going to go with a song and the movie that was one of me and my daughter’s fav’s…”Against All Odds”. Phil Collins recording and Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward starring in the movie !!! We both really loved watching this together and we use to sing it loud and proud in the car !!!

“Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)”

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you? Ooh, ooh

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now, take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take

Take a look at me now

I hope you enjoy the memories lizzie <3. They were good ones !!! Happy Sunday to all and let’s have a great week !!!!

Song Lyric Sunday

Song Lyric Sunday…

Happy Sunday Blogger’s. It’s warm and sunny somewhere, and I wish I were there. The song prompt today is, “Even/Odd.” Given to us by Mr.Jim…A Unique Author.

My song for today is an oldie, well by my standards. Love the song, love the actor’s in the movie, but the movie was a bit wonky. But hey looking at Jeff Bridges w/o a shirt for a couple of hours is always a good thing…Shhhhh don’t tell the husband 😉 .

AGAINST ALL ODDS

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at allHow can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
‘Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to faceI wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, ‘cos there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, ‘cos I’ll still be standin’ here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta takeTake a look at me now
