Here Without You - 3 Doors Down (I Miss Grandma)
A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated but I hope it gets better as we go
I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I goit gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it’s all said and doneit get hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
but tonight girl it’s only you and me

Songs

Songs and lyrics are a large part of our lives. Many times when we come across a familiar song, we'll be brought back to some time in the past and images will flash pass like a slideshow of life's many images.

Still remember Tommy Page during my primary school days... Time: "Why can't time make me stop?" Many of us hope and wish time will come to a halt or even bring us back to the past where happiness and laughter were a gift and we never really appreciate or treasured them.

During secondary school days, for every period there's some kind of song. Just like MLTR's "Out of the Blue", "The Actor", "Sleeping Child" and songs by Savage Garden. I remember one of my ex-classmate Yongcai loved the songs and influenced most of us. It was good times, good songs nonetheless.JC days were Sugarray, Blink 182 and such. I had very unhappy JC days so i can't seem to recall any songs then.

I've always loved songs like Love Me by Colin Raye because the lyrics bear so much meaning and it's so romantic. But the song to melt me would be Adam's Sandler's "Grow Old With You" I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad.... Build your fire if your furnace breaks... Even let you hold the remote control... Put you to bed when you had too much to drink. I wanna grow old with you. Someone once put me to bed when i had too much to drink. I'm not exactly a drinker, i can't drink for nuts in fact though i'm a sucker for good cabernet sauvignon but liquors, no. But i was so in love so i told that "someone" oh sure i can drink, i drink alot... Ok i bragged but who never did.

Apparently, i got dead drunk, puked like mad the moment i step out of Zouk where the music stopped and people who'd been to Zouk know, that' s a bloody crowded corridor which leads to Phuture too. It was so embarrassing considering i only had a flaming Lamborghini and half a bourbon Coke. Though as i grew older i found out i can't stand bourbon coke and i'll puke when i simply smell it even when i had very little to drink. Nevertheless, he drove me home when the night was still VERY young, he carried me into his room, changed me and let me sleep. He was my ex-boyfriend so don't go eeeeee like some convent girls and he didn't touch me impolitely that night. He just took care of me, ran his fingers through my hair and let me sleep. Every time when i hear "Put you to bed when you had too much to drink" i'll be on the brink of tears singing, "all i wanna do, is to grow old with you."

This someone will always have a special place in my heart though we've broken up and until today our versions of how we broke up was very unclear. Well memories, they vary.My Fat Club friends surrounded me with rock ballads like Ugly Kid Joe's Cats In A Cradle, Mr Big's To Be With You, Nazareth's Love Hurts, Guns N' Roses' November Rain, Bad Company's Ready For Love... I wish i can say, i'm ready for love, ooh baby i'm ready for love. Raymond, Samuel, Siong(though Siong doesn't belong to the Fat Club), would be listening to songs by Xu Ru Yun and Shino and Raymond thinks that i look like Shino but i refuse to agree.

As for me and Aik and sometimes Ben, we'll dance like hell in the mini-ktv room when we're singing Wo Yao Fei by F.I.R. It actually means i wanna fly but we'll sing like we want FAT literally. You know why Ben never wanted to join us? Cuz he's as skinny as a stick man.For the bunch of crazy people, we'll "ring ring" on "Stacy's Mom", "Right Thur", "Tong Hua - Guang Liang", "Superstar"... Oh and how can i forget Akon's Lonely. I have nobody to call my own... More to come i bet...

My nieces and nephews, Felicia, Alicia, Darren, Arren, fed me with songs like Good Charlotte's I Wanna Live and Ciara's One Two Step... These songs carry more meaning than they sound... The princess is here...

Recently i've been constantly on Tim Mcgraw's Live Like You Were Dying, it's not a particular line which touched me but the entire song. I wish i could live like i'm dying.I've always wanted a modern fairy tale like the one in Jerry Mcguire. Though it's not exactly lyrics but i'm sure most of us remember "I love him, I love him for the man he is, I love him for the man he almost is","We're getting married", "You know Jerry, this isn't easy for me", "You complete me", "You had me at Hello, you had me at hello..."
