Love Notes 22 :: Talkin to the songbird yesterday...

She's a little pilot in my mind
Singin songs of love to pass the time
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whisper in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

Do I love you?

My God, if your love were a grain of sand,

mine would be a universe of beaches.

from The Princess Bride

Dance as though no one is watching.
Love as though you've never been hurt.
Sing as though no one can hear you.
Live as though heaven is on earth.

Happy marriages begin when we marry the one we love,
and they blossom when we love the one we married.

You've shared with me some special times 

our friendship grows each day,
We've shared our secrets and our dreams
and laughed along the way.

And now at this most special time

as my wedding day draws near,
I'm so happy to have you by my side

to calm the jitters and the fears.
So when I'm walking down the aisle

a very happy bride,
You should know it means a lot to me 

to have you by my side.

I love you because you're my future
My present and part of my past
My world has been turning so quickly
And time just keeps moving so fast!

I love you because you have something
No ordinary person could give
Warmth that I'll cling onto forever
Hold onto as long as I live.

I love you because your devotion
Is tender and wonderfully rare;
And no one could ever imagine
The magical moments we share.

I love you because you are truthful
Your eyes hold a key to my heart
I know that you share my commitment
And we know that we never shall part.

I love you because you are wonderful
And you give to me all that I need
A hug when I seek reassurance
And a smile when we've disagreed.

I love you because... I just love you
For too many reasons to say
And I'll always be right here beside you
A breath and a heartbeat away.

I love you because Anon

I have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.

I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.

Beauty by John Masefield

The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh I become
More mad about you
More lost without you
And so it goes
Can you imagine
How much I love you
The more I see you
As years go by
I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms won’t free you
And my heart won’t try

The More I See You, Nat King Cole

When two hands make a stand together on the solid rock of trust, they could be a million miles from each other and still be side by side in love.

I have found for the first time what I can truly love - I have found you. You are my sympathy - my better self - my good angel - I am bound to you with a strong attachment.

From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home.

General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around.

From the film Love Actually

Today I married my best friend,
Our bond complete, it hath no end,
We share one soul, we share one heart,
A perfect time - a perfect start.

With these rings we share together,
Love so close to last forever,
This special day - two special hearts,
Let nothing keep this love apart.

Today I Married My Best Friend by Rachel Elizabeth Cooper

When I look in my daughter’s eyes, I can’t help but be joyful and glad.
This is the day she has dreamt about, for just about all her life.
She’s going to be such a beautiful bride and a loving, caring wife.
I’ll stand with the congregation as my daughter walks down the aisle
And even though there are tears in my eyes, my face will bare a smile.
For I know that I was very blessed when God lent this child to me.
To love and care for and nurture, so she would grow up to be
This lovely, bright young woman, who tomorrow will be a bride
And as always I’ll be there, with love at my daughter’s side.

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
That it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because that is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement,
It is not the proclamation of promises of eternal passion...
That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
And this is both an art and a fortunate accident...
To have roots that grow towards each other underground,
So that when all the pretty blossom has fallen from your branches
You find that you are one tree and not two.

Excerpt from the novel 'Captain Corelli’s Mandolin' by Louis de Bernieres

Where there is love the heart is light.
Where there is love the day is bright.
Where there is love there is a song
To help when things are going wrong.
Where there is love there is a smile
To make all things seem more worthwhile.
Where there is love there’s quiet peace,
A tranquil place where turmoils cease –
Love changes darkness into light
And makes the heart take “wingless flight”.



Where there is Love by Helen Steiner Rice

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
