Hey, apolosgal! I was just going to put "Teardrops On My Guitar" on here! I guess great minds think alike!

I guess great minds do think alike!! ;D Isn't that song the best. I absoluetly love it. Everytime I hear it I think of Apolo. I had never heard the other Taylor Swift song that you posted but the lyrics were awesome so i'm definitely gonna look it up on itunes!! ;D

Avril Lavigne When You're Gone Lyrics


I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

[When You're Gone lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

STRAIGHT UP...........By Paula Abdul

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever, oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
it's gonna be you and me together, oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
then baby I'm movin way to slow.........

Straight up now tell me
do you really want to love me forever, oh oh ohno

[Bella]

I heard this song on the way to work this morning and it made me cry. I had to call my husband as soon as I got to work and tell him how much I love him.

This song is dedicated to Apolo and anyone who's lucky enough to be lovin' him today.

The Book of Love, by Peter Gabriel

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the d**n thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
and instructions for dancing

But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

*sniff sniff*

Hey Bella, I Love this song! They play it during the Movie "Shall We Dance?" (Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon & JLo) I loose it when he opens the card that says "I finally found something you want that comes in a box" while the song plays in the background. By the time he shows up at her work in a tux and a red rose - I'm soup! I may have worn out that track on the DVD. Great Tango in it too. If you haven't seen it, you truly must! It says a lot about what goes on through the course of a marriage.

Modify post: Hey I just found the clip - Love this whole scene!

Apoloslove already posted the lyrics, but the video below is quite lovely.
I would hope this sentiment to everyone, inlcuding myself, when Life starts moving too fast and I forget to stop and experience the moment... I do -hope you dance

Dedicated to Apolo and his eyes.

Debbie Gibson's "Lost in Your Eyes"

VERSE 1:

I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise
And soar like the wind..
Is it love that I am in?

I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance?
And now I know
'Cause when I'm lost I can let go

CHORUS:

I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for
You can take me to the sky...
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes

VERSE 2:

I just fell, don't know why
Something's there we can't deny...
And when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you

And if I can't find my way
if salvation is worlds away
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes

CHORUS:

I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for
You can take me to the skies...
Oh it's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes

VERSE 3:
I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance?
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes

[lexi]

Very nice choice, ichibanapolo.

Below is a song that still gives me goosebumps to this day. I think it's the sentiment behind it. Though it came out soon after Apolo was born, you can still listen to it today and the lyrics could easily apply to him.

Whitney Houston's One Moment in Time
The official song of the '88 Olympics

youtube.com/watch?v=xFYIi-P6S58

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free


I really miss Whitney when I hear this. No one can hold a candle to her voice wise. Sad story.

God, that Whitney song gave me goosebumps..
That women can sing! ;D

Bella and mtnme, thanks for the lyrics & link. I love Peter Gabriel, and I had forgotten this song was in Shall We Dance. How sexy was Richard Gere when he came up the escalator with the single red rose? I'm not a huge fan of his, but he was pretty hot in this movie, especially in the tango scene. The youtube clip was a nice little treat today!

I've always loved this one too, lexi. Goosebumps is right. (Was that Ms. Paula Abdul in the audience?) Best Olympic theme ever.

[jennaceeta25]

This song always makes me think of Apolo. It's called "Every Word I say" by Hanson.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8FcGHz2yoA-this is the video on youtube.com. It always gives me goosebumps..

You feel like liberation
You give me new sensation
You show me what I need and
You are my life completed

Can't stop, cant break, who's driving?
Sometimes there's no denying
Till today I feel I can't lose
I'm letting go of what I knew

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say
Every word I say
Every word I say

Before you I was only
What I let control me
You are a revolution
Against my own conclusions
So today I feel I can't lose
But I'm letting go of what I knew

Said, I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no

And now I say goodbye to the way I used to be
There is no room for question
'Cause your name, it sets me free
Yesterday's troubles harm me
T-Today's are creeping in
So let go of the world around me
'Cause your love is all I need

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and that's okay
I hear your name in every word I say

I want you for always
I hear your name in every word I say
I'm a fool and I don't care
I hear your name in every word I say

Every word I say
Every word I say
In every word I say
Oh no no no no no no no
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no no no no no no
Yeah!

I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name in every word I say
I hear your name well all I hear is your name
All I hear is your name
All I hear is your name
And no one can take it away

[ichibanapolo]

"One moment in Time" by Whitney Houston. I'm in awe of that woman's voice. Inspiring song. One that fits Apolo perfectly.

I don't know what it was, but I thought of Apolo when I first heard Josh Groban's "You're Still You"...

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you

This is a really old song but one I wouldn't mind singing to Apolo (if I wasn't already married) lol.

Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, by Frankie Vallie

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

i found this early in the thread...great choice teri!!!
and it's still a classic love song...
i hit the jackpot too...the song PLUS a tribute to an american icon, cary grant.
