John Legend – All of Me

All Of Me

John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down

What’s going on in that beautiful mind?
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind’

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning’

Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood

You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind’

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning’

Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard’

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning’

Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

If I Ever Needed Someone

Van Morrison

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

See me through the daytime
(See me through the daytime)
And through the long, lonely night
Lead me through the darkness
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) And on into the light

To stand with me when I’m troubled
(Stand with me when I’m troubled)
And help me through my strife
At times, get so uncertain, I turn to You
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Turn to You in my young life

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to hold on to
(Someone to hold to)
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) And keep me ever dear

To keep me from all my selfishness
(Keep me from all selfishness)
To keepin’ me from all my sorrow
To lead me onto givingness
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) So I can see a new tomorrow

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to walk with
Oh, someone to hold by the hand
Someone to talk with
Someone to understand
Eh (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)To call on when I need You
(Call on when I need You)
And I need You very much
To open up my arms to You
(Feel Your tender touch) Feel Your tender touch

To feel it and to keep it
(Feel it and keep it)
Tuck it right here in my soul (yeah-yeah)
And care for it and keep it with me
(Never, never to grow old) Never to grow old

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
One more time again
Lord, if I ever needed, needed someone, I need You
Lord, oh, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Kacey Musgraves – Butterflies (Audio)

Butterflies

Kacey Musgraves

I was just coastin’, never really goin’ anywhere
Caught up in a web, I was gettin’ kind of used to stayin’ there
And out of the blue
I fell for you

Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies

Kiss full of color, makes me wonder where you’ve always been
I was hiding in doubt ’til you brought me out of my chrysalis
And I came out new
All because of you

Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Yeah, you give me butterflies

Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
You’re takin’ my hand, ‘stead of takin’ my crown

Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm
You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm

Gilbert Bécaud – A Little Love and Understanding

A Little Love And Understanding

Lyrics

You’re on your own
And what you need’s
A little love and understanding, hee-hee-hee
A little warmth to tell your soul
A gentle bird that softly sings, hee-hee-hee-hee

Each night my voice happens to sneak
Through your transistor radio, ho-ho-ho
I’m just a secret you can keep
And no one ever needs to know

You’re in that city far away
I’m on the ship way out at sea
You got some problems you can’t face
So leave them behind, any place

For out of sight is out of mind
And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time
You’ll find peace of mind
Ho-ho-kay-ay (okay), good, good

You’re room is like a desert isle
You often filled with silent tears, hmm-hmm-hmm
So grab your coat, put on a smile
Go out and buy yourself some cheer, hee-hee-hee-hee
Why sit there thinking of the past
Recounting empty days gone by, hah-hah-hah
When you should make each moment last
It isn’t hard to do, just try

Drink to the city far away
To all the sailors ‘way at sea
All those problems you can’t face
So leave them behind, any place

For out of sight is out of mind
And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time
You’ll find peace of mind
O-kay, hm-hm, (okay), good

Niall Horan – Slow Hands (Lyric Video) #mullingar

Lyrics

“We should take this back to my place”
That’s what she said right to my face
‘Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby
I’ve been thinking ’bout it all day
And I hope you feel the same way, yeah
‘Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I’m leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo)
Slow hands

I just wanna take my time
We could do this, baby, all night, yeah
‘Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I’m leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo)

Fingertips puttin’ on a show
Got me now and I can’t say no
Wanna be with you all alone
Take me home, take me home
Fingertips puttin’ on a show
Can’t you tell that I want you, baby, yeah

Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I’m leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’
Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I’m leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’
Your plans and those slow hands (woo)

Your slow hands
Ooh, slow hands

Hey, I heard what you said In sun and in showers,
We all must be fed.
All must be fed.
You wear yourself so steadily,
You’re ready for a fight
But in hell and high water
It helps to be right.
Helps to be right.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game,
And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay I burned all your letters I buried all your stones
The curses and the raptures, I kept them for my own
Oh say, how ’bout this instead?
Come by with some flowers and stay ’til they’re dead
Stay ’til they’re dead.
 
I don’t know the rules of this game, And I don’t think I want to play.
I’ve seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won’t stay Come by with some flowers, And stay til they’re dead.
Come by with some flowers, And stay ’til they’re dead.
 
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.
Stay ’til they’re dead.

Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men – One Sweet Day

One Sweet Day

Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
Now it’s too late to hold you
‘Cause you’ve flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you’d always be there
I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same
I’ll always look to a brighter day

Yeah, Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day

And I know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And I know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Carrigafoyle Castle Co. Kerry Ireland Nat Mon No 349 Full Works Survey Interior and exterior

Carrigafoyle Castle, Ballylongford,

Co. Kerry

The great outdoors

The castle built in 1490 is set within the flat landscape of the wider Shannon Estuary and is sheltered by the small island of Carrig only 200m to the north across the salt marsh which is inundated at high tide. The medieval Church of Carrigafoyle stands opposite the castle and is built in the same style.

Carrigafoyle Castle, built between the years 1490 and 1500, is considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses. It stands on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an Anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill “rock of the hole”.

Now a listed National Monument, its battlements provide stunning views of the estuary and the most interesting feature of the building is the dock, which allowed boats to tie up safely. This was particularly important when in the 1500’s the O’Connor’s of Kerry held political power over the area which allowed them to “inspect” ships passing to and from the port of Limerick.

Lyrics

You approached me in the darkness
A figure I knew well
The silhouette was known to me
But it was far too soon to tell

With each step that you drew towards me
I knew you less and less
A creature of your likeness
With a kind of hollowness

And all that winter sun
Has ever gave to me
Was a couple hours of light
And a heat I couldn’t feel
So don’t you come to me
So bright and bold
You promised me the world
But you left it in the cold

And I was waiting for the heat to come
The light it touched my skin
I kept waiting for the heat to come
But the cold came creeping in

Like stepping out onto a frozen lake
Hid underneath the snow
I put my trust in something bound to break
But how could I have known

And all that winter sun
Has ever gave to me
Was a couple hours of light
And a heat I couldn’t feel
So don’t you come to me
So bright and bold
You promised me the world
But you left it in the cold

And I’ve been blinded by sunshine
And oh I hate how sweet the world has seemed
Bathed in your cold light

And all that winter sun
Has ever gave to me
Was a couple hours of light
And a heat I couldn’t feel
So don’t you come to me
So bright and bold
You promised me the world
But you left it in the cold

And all that winter sun
Has ever gave to me
Was a couple hours of light
And a heat I couldn’t feel
So don’t you come to me
So bright and bold
You promised me the world
But you left it in the cold
