Um, I got a new piano, so I'm gonna play for you a song that is very moving to me--um, the lyrics are very inspiring.
The title is "Alone" and it's by a band called Heart.
It's kind of not my generation, but it's a timeless classic--everybody loves it, everybody knows it. And here goes:
Lyrics:
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark,
I'm wond'rin' where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone,
And the night goes by so very slow,
Oh, I hope that it won't end, though,
Alone,
'Til now, I always got by on my own:
I never really cared until I met you,
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Could you understand? hehe
The End ^_^
