The Soundtrack of My Life

Have you ever been struck by a particular song? There's something about the lyrics or melody that catch you, connects with you, and becomes your mantra for a day, a few weeks, or forever. My "song" came to me today as I was driving down the highway towards work. It was nothing particularly special - I'd heard the song at least a dozen times before, however I had never really understood the lyrics or grasped what they meant to my life.

So, before you know it, I'm crying in my car. But then again, most things make me cry. I've been struggling to put the words to my emotions for so long now, but Michael Buble did it perfectly. In perfect reproduction, I've put the lyrics to paper...just to read and sing when I need to remember what it is I've been fighting for.

Haven't Met You Yet

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times I've stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I've talked myself out
I get all worked up and then I let myself down
I've tried so very hard not to lose it
I've came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility
And I know some day it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet.
I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing and the other half luck.
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life
And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby, your love is going to change me
And now I can see every possibility
They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't have to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united
And I know we can be so amazing
And being in your life is going to change me
And now I can see every possibility
And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get
Someday I know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet...
