September

September
by Daughtry

How the time passed away? All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same

Of all the things I still remember
Summer’s never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we’d still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could’ve been
It was worth it in the end

Now it all seems so clear, there’s nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long that summer’s moving on
We reach for something that’s already gone

Of all the things I still remember
Summer’s never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we’d still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could’ve been
It was worth it in the end

We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
We would end up here the way we are
Yeah we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how

Of all the things I still remember
Summer’s never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly by
But the memories remain

In the middle of September we’d still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could’ve been
It was worth it in the end

If I Can’t Change Your Mind

You learn something new everyday. This is a Train song. One of my favorites. I just did a lyrics search on it to put them on here and – KABOW – it’s actually a song by a band called Sugar. Who knew?? I certainly didn’t. Train re-made it for their 2006 album. It was originally released in 1992 by Sugar. Nifty! I’m going to see Train tonight in concert. WOO HOO!

If I Can’t Change Your Mind
by Train

Tears fill up my eyes
I’m washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there’s no tomorrow
I see you’re leaving soon
I guess you’ve had your fill
But if I can’t change your mind
Then no one will

And all throughout the years
I’ve never strayed from you my dear
But you suspect I’m somewhere else
You’re feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can’t change your mind
Then no one will

Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don’t you know that I’ll be waiting
Here for you
Then when you return
When will you return
I hope you see I’m dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back then you will find
A different person
If you change your mind

How can I explain away
Something that I haven’t done
And if you can’t trust me now
You’ll never trust in anyone
With all the crazy doubts you’ve got
I love you even still
But if I can’t change your mind
Then no one will

Someday you’ll see I’ve been true
I’ll stay that way until
But if I can’t change your mind
Then no one will
Wish I could change your mind

The Heat is On

Well, it’s finally getting cooler, but you get my drift. It has been a HOT summer! The hottest in years, I think.

A lot has happened since May when I last posted. I am so horrible at this. lol. We had our move at work…everything went great. Now the dust has settled and it’s time to focus on my next big project: getting home! I am ready. I love my job here and my man, but I am very, very ready to get back to my friends and family. I miss them so much and am over seeing them once or twice a year. So, that’s next on the agenda. I am starting the job search, starting the packing and wondering what the future holds. But I’m still living in the now. The man and I are still doing more and more, because we know our time together is drawing to a close. I’m still working my butt off, but it’s ok. I’ll keep you posted, but that’s all that’s going on for me right now. That’s enough. lol!
