I was dancing my ass off last night to my favorite rock anthem, Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is". I realized that this aching, poignant, fierce song perfectly expressed the state I was in when I met Sweet Hubby:
I've gotta take a little
time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This mountain, I must
climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life, there's been
heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me (hey)
Gotta take a little time
Little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
Looks like love has finally found me
In my life, there's been
heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
It's amazing how songs can speak to us, become our anthem. And amazing how the right one comes along just when we need it. For me, it was Mariah Carey's "Hero". It appeared numerous times (every-other-song) on the "Buck UP" playlist I made for myself in 1995. xoA
