I attended a friend’s wedding this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised when my friend (the bride) sang one of my favorite songs ever, Something In Your Eyes, by Dusty Springfield. She cried when she was singing, and I almost cried with her. I love the song so much, that’s why I couldn’t help but become teary-eyed while I was watching her sing the song to her new husband. Theirs is a beautiful love story and I’m so happy she found her perfect match. Check out the lyrics of the song here.

I think Something In Your Eyes is a really beautiful song. It has such a wonderful melody, and the words have so much meaning. I love Dusty’s voice on it too. Try to listen to the message of the song, and I’m sure, if you have experienced love, or know what love is, you’ll appreciate the song. It speaks of love, how after all the waiting and loving, they end up together, forever. Seeing that something in your lover’s eyes, you know where you’re life is leading to… a life with that person. If I were to get married someday to the love of my life, I’ll definitely sing this song to him. What can I say, I’m a hopeless romantic, so just listening to this song, gives me goosebumps.

Seeing my dear friend marry the person she loves and the perfect match for her… it’s a wonderful feeling. I could see the happiness and love in their eyes as they looked at each other. There’s something in their eyes that’s unmistakably real and true. It’s wonderfully amazing to see my friend so radiant and happy on her wedding day. She has been through so much in her life, and she deserves this guy who loves her unconditionally. I’m just so happy for her.

For me, there’s a distinct way in which a man can make a woman FEEL. Listening to this song and understanding the lyrics, it actually is an accurate description of how love can capture a woman and make her feel all different kinds of emotions from a man. Some may feel that the words are an exaggeration, but that’s what makes it even more meaningful and deep. Think about it, even just a simple touch from a man you love can bring shivers, literally. Right? A simple smile can make the knees go weak. Even when your eyes are closed, he seems to be the only face that keeps popping up.

It’s amazing how a man can cause a variety of feelings in a woman… it’s something that has no comparison really. We can use metaphors to explain them or compare them with other things, but everything is still just shallow representations of what we REALLY feel deep inside. You have to experience it for yourself to know exactly what it’s all about.

I just love the melody of this song and the attempt to explain how a man can make a woman feel. Can you relate to the song?

What about those people who wake up one day just to realize that they’re no longer in love with the one they’re with. Have you ever experienced this? You found someone, you fell head over heels in love, and then one day, you’ll just realize the feeling isn’t there anymore. What’s up with that?

Is love really fleeting? Is it an emotion that is there for some time and then just disappears at a certain time? Or maybe it isn’t love at all to begin with? Why are there so many broken hearts and so many love lost… if it’s true love, does it really have to end?

In all honesty, I don’t have the answers to any of these questions. I guess no one can really know the answer for sure. After all, we’re all just human beings in search of true love, in search of that one person who will love us and grow old with us… that one person that God intends to be our perfect match. But most people never find their perfect match in their lifetime. It’s all just a string of painful broken hearts consisting of a bucketful of tears and an endless cycle of loving and getting hurt.

Just like in Natalie Cole’s song “Someone That I Used To Love“, the lyrics goes like this, “Wish it was enough for you, all the love I have to give… I did my best to keep you satisfied. I guess you’ll never know how much I tried, I really tried. Once I had so much to give, but you just refused my love. Though you’re someone in this world that I’ll always choose to love. From now on, you’re only someone that I used to love.”

When we love, it always entails taking some kind of risk. We risk getting hurt, we risk our happiness, our hearts, emotions… and then when it doesn’t work out, we grieve over it and then get up and try again. But do we ever really lose that feeling we once had for someone that we loved so much? Or is it simply a change of heart? Maybe we lose the attraction, that’s why we think that the love is no longer there anymore. But regardless of the reason, there’s always the risk of losing the powerful feelings that we once felt for a person after some time. And when that happens, we deal with it the best way we know how, and then move on. Some people go away, some people stay.

My belief is that, when you really truly loved a person (and I’m not talking about just being attracted to the person), even though your relationship didn’t work out, a part of you will always love that person, no matter what. Maybe the intensity will dissipate overtime, but nevertheless, it’s still there. Maybe buried deep inside, but still there. Maybe it transferred or switched to some other level, but the love is still there. Because true love never really dies.

What is true love for you?

Pain In My Heart is one of my favorite songs ever since I was a kid. The first time I heard this, I didn’t even know anything about love. So it wasn’t even about the lyrics, at first. I remember I was too young to relate to the song. I just liked the melody and somehow it stuck with me. As I grew older, I started to understand the lyrics, and having experienced love myself, I learned to appreciate the words of the song.

It’s a very sad song, I think you have to experience being heartbroken to fully realize the sadness that it conveys. If you’ve never nursed a broken heart, then you probably won’t be able to appreciate the real meaning of it. But if you’ve lost a love, I think you’ll find the lyrics and melody piercing. It may even make you cry. It’s about pain, loss, and longing.

The original artist is Second Wind, but it has been revived by various artists. It’s a good thing actually, coz when I knew this song, not a lot of people really knew it then. Now, it’s quite popular and I’m sure there are lots of people who have gotten themselves attached to it somehow. I really love it, and having experienced a heartbreak myself, this song is always present in my play list. Here’s the lyrics:

Here I am alone in this empty room
And let my mind just fly you to the end
Thoughts of you still linger in my memory
Wondering why my life is not that fair
I could still recall those memories of you
The joy and all your laughter
The love that we’ve been through
Oh, I can’t believe you’re gone, oh no…

Talking to myself for reasons I should find
Finding out why everything went wrong
Tears falling down my cheeks
That I’ve been trying to hold
I just don’t know if I could still go on
I wanted you to stay, the tears begin to show
You said you cared for me, but then you had to go
And now I know you’re gone

But I don’t want to remember
The things we used to do
And all the things that remind me of you
I don’t want to hear the songs
The songs we used to sing
Coz I don’t wanna feel the pain in my heart

I just can’t believe you’re gone…

Last night, when I was about to sleep, a certain song just popped into my head out of nowhere. I haven’t heard this song for so long. It was very timely actually, since it’s all about what I’ve been trying to do for a little while now, leaving the past behind and trying to move on with my life. So I got my iPod, located the song, and listened to it. I could totally relate to the words of the song. The lyrics goes like this:

Since you left me, I never really tried
To put my life to where it should belong
And I’ve always let the past gone by
I’m realizing that it could be wrong
But now I finally knew, I had to let it go
To make way for a brighter tomorrow

So now I’m leaving yesterday behind
And finally I’ve made up my mind
To let the memories stay away
And think about today
I’m leaving yesterday behind
‘Cause now I’ll try to live my life once more
The way I did before

Since I know that I never will forget
The memories that made my yesterday
I will try not to let it interfere
The choices I will make along the way

‘Cause I’m not living in a world of fantasy
I’m here now in the world of reality

The song is called Leaving Yesterday Behind, and listening to it, I realized I’m still not able to let the past go completely yet. I know I’ve been trying to move forward and not to think too much of yesterday, but there are times when I would still look back and ponder on things, like what went wrong, or what changed. Of course, the getting over process is not easy, and it certainly won’t happen overnight. It will probably take months, if not years.

I must admit, memories of the past still wash over me from time to time, and I still get overwhelmed. But I know I should start learning how to let go completely, because that’s the only way I could go on with my life. If I’ll just allow myself to be tied to the past, I won’t be able to see and enjoy what the future has in store for me, right?

I replayed the song a few times before I finally fell asleep. I don’t know what made me remember that song again, but I’m glad I did. It’s definitely time to move on… and leave yesterday behind.

Breaking up and learning to move on when you’re still in love is hard. But when you’ve accepted the fact that you’re relationship is over and you’re willing to pick up the pieces and start over again, you’ll realize that the hardest part is just in the beginning.

When you’re overcome with hurt and pain, it feels like you’re never going to find love again. Or you tell yourself you’ll never find someone as good as your ex or someone you’ll love as much. Some feel like they won’t be able to trust again. It’s all part of the moving on process… the uncertainty, fear, and worry. But it gets easier… as long as you know within yourself that it’s over and you’re not holding on anymore. Moving on is just harder if there’s something that’s holding you back. But if you’ve completely learned to let go, then you’ll be able to go through the healing process, and eventually find another love.

They say the fastest way to get over someone is by focusing on another person. Some say rebound relationships do not work, but others say it’s an effective way to get over a breakup. Regardless, it’s no use moping around for prolonged periods of time, agonizing over a breakup. Sooner or later, you’ll have to get back out there and start finding love again.

For some people, it doesn’t take very long for them to find someone new. For others, it may take a long time. A new love signifies a new start. And it’s always a great feeling, to be able to feel alive again, smile again, laugh again. Ultimately, life takes on a new meaning. Have you ever experienced this?

Check out these songs about finding a new love…

The child in me was satisfied that I got to see the movie again. I guess as I grew up I forgot how fascinated I was with mermaids when I was a kid. But it wasn’t really the mermaid that caught my attention this time. It was the song playing towards the end of the movie, the theme song sung by Rita Coolidge, “Love Came For Me”. I was really touched by the song. Perhaps, it’s the melody… I really like the melody. But then when I listened closely, the message of the song is really beautiful as well, not to mention the catchy title!

Around the world, at least one person everyday falls in love, right? But until now, love has always been a mystery. It’s a beautiful feeling, but can never really be fully explained. You wake up one day, expecting a perfectly normal day, and here comes love… knocks on your door, sweeps you off your feet and takes you by surprise. Sometimes, even though you’re not really asking for it, it comes for you. And then there are also those who long for it, and are desperate to find it, but haven’t really found it despite their best efforts! I know, life really has a way of complicating situations, huh?

But it’s when you least expect it, that these things usually happen. Feel free to disagree with me here, but in my opinion, once you’ve stopped looking for love, that’s when it usually comes for you. I’m talking about romantic love here, of course. Not the love that we feel for family, friends, or ourselves… but the love that brings two people together, and connects them like no other. It’s the kind of love that cannot be explained, and cannot be fathomed, the kind of love that takes your breath away, and completely transforms you.

I believe that everyone deserves to find that kind of love. Some people DO find it, some people don’t. But if it’s meant to be, love will come, at the right time, and in the right place. And when that happens for you, cherish it and make the most out of it. When love comes for you, embrace it, accept it with open arms, and nurture it. It’s the most wonderful blessing ever!

Did love come for you already?

This is my collection of brokenhearted songs sung by females that I’ve liked over the years. What can I say, I’m a sucker for love songs. And broken hearted love songs are definitely one of them. I don’t know, there’s just something about these songs that really touch the heart in a sense that you could get lost in the emotions that they bring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you have to be broken hearted to appreciate them. But I think even the happiest person can use a little bit of nostalgic feel that these songs bring. So for those who are romantics (especially females), broken hearted or not, I invite you to check these songs out. I know the list is by no means comprehensive, and I’m sure there are still lots of female brokenhearted songs out there, but this list narrows down my most favorite of them all. The ones that really really touched me. And I wanna share them all with you. If you have a broken hearted female song that you like, don’t be shy to share!

These, right here, are my favorite love songs of all time! Of course, there are lots of other great love songs out there, but I narrowed them down to my top picks. I’ve started compiling this list since I was a kid, and I guess it just stuck with me after all these years. These are, in my opinion, timeless classics and some of the best love songs ever written! So sit back and listen to my ultimate love songs collection… and perhaps you can tell me what you think of them.

I picture you on the beach, lying in the sand
Out of reach of my trembling hands
I picture you in a car, blonde hair in the wind
I picture you in my arms, and the touch of your skin
The smile on your face, the way that you taste

You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I cant stop this ache inside
I have no defenses
You come to my senses

Driving home in the cold January rain
Ive got to find my way out of this pain
I reached for you in the night, I dreamed of your kiss
I woke before it got light, with your name on my lips
Alone in my bed, your voice in my head

You come to my senses

How can I make it through the day, without you
You have been so much a part of me
And if you’ll go…
I’ll never know what to do
How can I carry on my way, the memories
When all that is left is the pain of our history
Why should I live my life today?

I cannot live out on my own
And just forget the love you’ve always shown
And accept the fate of my condition
Please don’t ever go
For I cannot live my life alone

Say you’ll never go
Say you’ll never go out my way
Say you’ll never go
For we can still go on
And make it through
Just say you’ll never go
Say you’ll never go away

How can I make my dreams come true, Without you
You were the one who gave love to me
And don’t you know, you are my fantasy

I cannot live out on my own
Just forget the love you’ve always shown
Or accept the fate of my condition
Please don’t ever go
For I cannot live my life alone

Say you’ll never go away.

The skies are not as blue, when you’re not with me
The stars, they never seem to shine as bright
And the hours crack like days across the ages
And a year or two pass by with every night.
It makes me know if I should ever leave this world before you do
When you follow you must promise, cross your heart and promise to

Find me… look hard, and don’t stop, I’ll be waiting ’till then
Don’t sleep, and don’t eat ’till I’m back, back in your arms again
I don’t wanna have to spend all my forever without you.
Just knowing that your out there somewhere too.
So darlin… please I’m begging you on bended knee…
Find me…

I’ve tried to tell this world how much i love you.
But they don’t understand how deep it goes.
And i can’t even find the words to tell you
So I’m the only one who really knows.
And though we have our times together, I am always wanting more
So if we get separated wont you do just like before and

Find me…look hard and don’t stop, I’ll be waiting ’till then
Don’t sleep, and don’t eat ’till I’m back, back in your arms again
Through a hundred million faces you will see me shining through.
‘Cause I’ll glow when you come close, I always do.
So darlin’ please i’m begging you on bended knee..
We can share our love through all eternity
‘Cause with you is all I ever wanna be……
Find me.
