Song lyrics...

Alrighty, Mrm posted some lyrics that she thought people would like, and here's my go at it. The first two remind me of college, and how much I love you guys, how much I'll miss you, and secretly, how jealous I am that I won't be at Truman with all of you, just for the fact that so many of my friends are going there. I love Mizzou and it will be a great fit for me, but still...anyway, here's the first Carole King song, "So Far Away":

So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it bein' close to you.

But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothin' else to do but close my mind

I sure do hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams

I've yet to find

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn't help to know youre so far away...

And it's kinda true, with the majority of us going to different colleges. And here's just another feel good song that describes how you feel to your closest friend, or something like that. It's how I'll feel when I'm away at Mizzou, far away from my closest ones. "Home Again":

Somethimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again

It's so far and outta sight

I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else

Knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet

Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy till I see you alone

Till I'm home again and feeling right

And here's one to remind all of you how pretty and gorgeous you all are. "Beautiful":

You've got to get up every morning

With a smile in your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

Then people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes you will

That you're beatiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing

I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by

Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing

And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning

With a smile in your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

The people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes you will

That you're beatiful as you feel

I have often asked myself for reason for sadness

In a world where tears are just a lullabye

If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness

Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning

With a smile in your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

The people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes you will

That you're beatiful as you feel

Just some words of wisdom I'd like to impart to you all, at 1:43 in the AM, Tuesday night. I love the lyrics so much, but I highlighted some of the most important parts because I'm a loser like that. So until tomorrow...Ciao.
