Happy Valentine's Day

This was a great Valentine's Day.  It started out with getting a free breakfast, courtesy of a friend's ex-husband.  Before you jump to any conclusions, let me explain - he's also the brother of another friend, and I saw him at the convenience store this morning before work, and he bought me a country ham biscuit.  Then the day just kept on getting better after that - I got some decadent cherry cordial Hershey kisses from one co-worker, and a very good candy called Cherry Mash from another co-worker.  There were no major problems for me at work, either, so that made the work-day very pleasant. This Valentine's Day was topped off by a nice Chinese dinner with the 'rent's downtown.  I met them after work, and we had a great meal at our favorite Taste Of China restaurant across from church.   Honestly, they will always be my two biggest sweethearts.

As I was driving home a few minutes ago, I started thinking of Valentine's Day and happy love songs; not sappy but happy.  You know, there truly isn't that many.  So music lovers have to resort to old tried and true happy love songs.  On this Valentine's Day, I'd like to share my favorite happy love song with you, my faithful readers. With the AOL journal software, there's no easy way I can post the MP3 or wav file of the song, so for now, I'll give you the words.  It's written by two of my favorite songwriters from Nashville, Mary Ann Kennedy and Pam Rose.  It's called "Love Like This."

Love Like This

A king would trade his finest crown for love, love like this
And warriors have laid weapons down for love, love like this
Hearts will break a thousand times for love, love like this
And arms will wait a thousand nights for love, love like this
Love may come and love may go but here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me love like this

You and I have finally found love, love like this
A place to lay our burdens down, love, love like this
Hearts can speak without a sound in love, love like this
What makes the world keep turning round is love, love like this
Love may come and love may go but here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me love like this

The moon has never shown before on love, love like this
And I have never wanted more than love, love like this
Love, love like this
