Song of the Day: Fleetwood Mac - When I See You Again

This song is one of the best songs on a mildly overlooked album.  Hard for Fleetwood Mac to live up to Rumours, of course.

Anyway, this song always touches me, every time I hear it.  So poignant, so sad.  But better than never having had the moment, and now the memories.

These lines, in particular, really get me:

And the dream says I want you

And the dream is gone

So she stays up night on end

Well at least there is a dream left

"When I See You Again" lyrics

When I see you again

Will it be the same

When I see you again

Will it be over

When I see you again

Will your great eyes still say

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby, baby, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby, baby

So she walks slowly down the hall

There are many doors in the hallway

And she stares at the stairs

Ooh there are many things to stare at these days

If she sees him again

Will your very best friend

Will your very best friend

Oh, have been replaced by some other

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby, baby, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby

What's the matter, baby, baby

And the dream says I want you

And the dream is gone

So she stays up night on end

Well at least there is a dream left

If I see you again

Will it be over

If I see you again

Will it be the same

If I see you again

Will it be over

Again and again

Over and over

Song of the Day: Tracy Chapman (and Brandi Carlile) - The Promise

Two versions of this song.  The original, and a cover by Brandi Carlile.  It's just a slow, beautiful song.  One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

Remembering

Your touch

Your kiss

Your warm embrace

I'll find my way back to you

If you'll be waiting

I hesitate to mention this, but this was also my wedding song.  So it makes me a little sad to hear it now.  Nevertheless, I deeply love this song and you, my seven* readers, should know just how special it is to me.

"The Promise"

If you wait for me

Then I'll come for you

Although I've traveled far

I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me

If you miss me once in awhile

Then I'll return to you

I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering

Your touch

Your kiss

Your warm embrace

I'll find my way back to you

If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me

Like I dream of you

In a place that's warm and dark

In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering

Your touch

Your kiss

Your warm embrace

I'll find my way back to you

If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you

And I have desired

To see your face your smile

To be with you wherever you are

Remembering

Your touch

Your kiss

Your warm embrace

I'll find my way back to you

Please say you'll be waiting

Together again

It would feel so good to be in your arms

Where all my journeys end

If you can make a promise

If it's one that you can keep

I vow to come for you

If you wait for me

And say you'll hold

A place for me in your heart.

A place for me in your heart. [3x]
