Chantal Kreviazuk- Leaving On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking; it's early morning
The docks is waitin' he's blowin' his horn
I'm ready I'm so lonesome I could die.
Refrain :
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a Jet-Plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
And tell you that they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
Refrain
Now the time is come to leave you
One more time I let me kiss you and
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come when
I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I want have to say
Refrain
I'm leaving on a Jet-Plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go...
I'm leaving on a Jet-Plane
Leaving on a Jet-Plane ...

My initial plan was to add in a song I heard from my current favorite TV series (it is in my TV Series Hall of Fame, together with CSI), Grey's Anatomy, but I cannot seem to find the lyrics. Could be due to the fact that all the songs aired were singles, and boy are they great singles.
I really have to hand it to the producers and story people (whatever you call them in TV jargon). Medical dramas are almost done to death; just look at ER, Chicago Hope, Scrubs etc. ER was intense and had Noah Wyle and George Clooney (earlier seasons); Chicago Hope had Hector Elizondo, who was excellent in it because his character is the only one I can remember right now... What other format could there be? Then there came Grey's Anatomy and, according to sources, more other by various US television stations.
It's good for me, the perennial couch cable tuber :D
*Oh yes, my sincerest apologies. I missed out Mr. Gregory 'Cranky Doc' House. In my Hall of Fame too.*

PS: I admit it. Dr. Derek Shepherd, I'll have him as my neurosurgeon any day and Dr. Alex Karev can take my temperature anytime too.

"Beautiful Disaster"
By Kelly Clarkson
Lyrics By Matthew Wilder/Rebekah Jordan
Courtesy of http://kckellyville.com/lyrics/bd.php
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme, I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right, it just ain't right
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster?
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage that a soul should see
And do I try to change him?
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Oh 'cause I don't know...
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster?
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waitin' for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long,
So long
He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster?
He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

I'm in a mood for romance. Not that I have a partner to share that mood with, but seeing this quote just makes it really worthwhile to be immersed in it. Just for a while.
She lifted her face to him, and he bent forward and kissed her on the mouth, gently, with the one kiss that is an eternal pledge. And as he kissed her his heart strained again in his breast. He never intended to love her. But now it was over. He had crossed over the gulf to her, and all that he had left behind had shrivelled and become void. ~D. H. Lawrence~
Wow.
I've never really considered myself to be a sucker for romance like that, but I guess at certain points in life, it surfaces just to remind me that hey, I still have a heart that's made of blood and flesh. For that organ to function the way it should, I need to know love.
My first and most instinctive reaction to romance would be somewhat cynical. When I look at couples walking hand in hand, I often wonder what exactly is the difference between love and like, adoration and tolerance. I could like a guy because he looks pleasant and after getting to know him for a while, does that initial liking evolve into love? Or would it be adoration? Over time, does it become tolerance and routine? Does love last only for a while? I know it doesn't, but I'm just not convinced.
I always try to dissect love and what it is all about, what it encompasses. Maybe that is not what I should be doing. They say love is blind but lately, I seem to see things clearer than ever. I'm too rational for love, as it seems.
