ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ~ THE WATER IS WIDE

I love you. Whoever reads this, I don't care that I don't know you ~ I can love you. May you find peace in your spirit. If you don't have joy, I can give you mine.

The Water is Wide

This is one of my favorite songs. It is plaintive, soothing while at the same time, sad. If we live and haven't felt these feelings, we have missed a wonderful experience. The words have been slightly altered in many versions, but the music has stayed the same.

Joy, Peace, Happiness, Contentment, Be in Love

THE TEMPTATIONS ~ A GIFT TO THE WORLD

The Temptations

I love so much about music. It is spiritual ~ it's beyond words. I have no idea how I found this group when I was growing up. My family never mentioned black people. And almost everything that was fun was a sin. But I have some of the records still of The Temptations that I purchased decades ago. However, I never heard this song until I was moving through Youtube Temptation lovers tonight...

Lyrics

Sooooul mmmh..mmmh..mmmmmmh

Oh whoa whoa (soul to soul)

Picked some newspaper…At my feet

We go blowing down the street

Got out stories…old and new

Need someone to tell 'em to

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles (or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)

All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)

Oh… soul to soul (soul to soul)

Mmmmmh…


Like an album…On a shelf

Tired of talking to myself

Wishing somebody (somebody) passing by (passing by)

Would pick me up and look inside

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (or face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles… (miracles…or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart… (I don't need another heart…to have and hold)

All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)

soul to soul Oh… (soul to soul…soul to soul)

Mmmmmh…

Everyone needs someone to turn to

When they walk in their line (got to hold the line)

And we all need a friend we can cry to

And I'm out on the line (I'm on the line)

He..he..

It's been so long now…you know I need a li… Aaai,

Oh whoaaaa…whoaaaa…whoaaa..

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

All I want is a friend I can talk to (woe woe woe woe soul to soul)

I just call and there you are (soul to soul)

Shining on me like a star (shining down)

Smiling in my direction in the night (oooooh oooooh oooooh)

And I feel your light yeah (oh oh soul to soul)

I'm feeling stronger now, so much stronger now (soul to soul)

Won't you shine a little longer, longer right now

I'm still holding the line (got to hold the line) yeah

Keep me holding the line

Oh oh my…

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (or meet face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles (or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)

All I want is someone I can talk to (soul to soul)

Oh I need a friend right now

(sooooul to soul) *repeat in background till end of song

Someone I can talk to

I'm feeling lonely right now (right now baby)

I just need to know you're there anytime of the day and night

I need somebody who's willing to listen

Shining, shining, shining, shining so brightly right now

I feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders

So much soul

Does anyone hear me calling…
