Then (Brad Paisley)

“I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you, you had me mesmerized.

And three weeks [dates] later, in the front porch light taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight…

And I remember, taking you back to right where I first met you, You were so surprised…”

What is funny about this song is that as I was composing the very first fav five cd, this song was pretty new and I had heard it but didn’t really have a connection to it so I didn’t put it on the cd.. Then one day, I forgot the exact day, I was listening to the radio and heard it, I couldn’t believe that this story was written for us! So that is why this is the very first song I put on the straggler CD. I can’t believe that you thought the same thing;)We should, if there are still missions of course, go to a Brad Paisley concert next year when he comes to town. I can’t go this year because I have Jayme’s bachelorette party but it would be could to go next year and look back at “then”…

UPDATE: What better song to kick this CD off than with our anthem. I shortened some of the lyrics the first go around but here are the lyrics in full;)

“I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first me you, you had me memorized, and three weeks later in the front porch light taking forty five minutes to kiss good night, I hadn't told you then, but I thought I loved you then.

Now you're my whole life, now you're my whole world, I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea, stronger then it’s ever been, we've come so far since that day and I thought I loved you then.

I remember, taking you back to right where I first met you, you were so surprised, there were people around, but I didn't care , I got down on one knee, right there and once again I thought I loved you then

Now your my whole life, now you're my whole world, I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl like the river meets the sea, stronger then its ever been, we've come so far since that day and I thought I loved you then

I can just see with you with a baby on the way, I can just see you when your hair is turning gray what I can’t see is how I'm ever gonna love you more, but I've said that before

Now you're my whole life, now you're my whole world, I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

You'll look back some day at this moment that we're in and Ill look at you and say and I thought I loved you then and i thought i loved you then”

I only hope that we look back someday at this moment that we’re in and you say I thought you loved me then;)

Little Moments (Brad Paisley)

I actually just heard this song for the first time today. I needed a good 5th favorite Brad Paisley song and I just couldn’t resist. I love it! This song reminds me so much of me :) Definitely not perfect to say the least, but definitely not ever boring eitherJ So remember, you can’t let me drive your car under any circumstances because I might break it like in the song; and how I am not good at baking.. I hope you like the little moments we have shared so far and I look forward to more to come (if there are additional missions ;)

UPDATE: Cuuute! I am trying to remember if I made the CD before or after the infamous cupcake incident… I wrote this before! All I can say is that I told you in advance that I wasn’t good at baking ;) This is another cute anthem for us. Thanks Brad. You will notice that the theme of this CD is that I am including all the lyrics for all the songs since you are soooo visual. Here you go baby. And remember don’t ever ever let me drive the suby ;) Take time to enjoy all the Little Moments.

“Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard that pretty mouth say that dirty word and I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into but she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute that I couldn't even act like I was mad. Yeah I live for little moments like that. Well that's just like last year on my birthday, She lost all track of time and burnt the cake and every smoke detector in the house was goin' off and she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms and I tried not to let her see me laugh. Yeah I live for little moments like that. I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me and I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be. It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans when she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands. Yeah I live for little moments like that when she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark and about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm and I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb, but she looks so much like and angel that I don't wanna wake her up. Yeah I live for little moments when she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it. Yeah I live for little moments like that”

Home (Blake Shelton with Miranda Lambert)

Blake covered this song from a Michael Buble song. I know you said you don’t know what that is and it is not important here. I am just trying to throw in a little BS so you know who he is in the event that we do go to the concert. Reminder that he is Miranda Lambert’s boyfriend.

UPDATE: We’ve woke up to this song a few times so when I hear it, I think of that. I also know this is how would feel if I was traveling all the time away from you. Being great places is nice but if I don’t have you to share them with they don’t mean as much. I would rather be sitting at home on the couch by the fire cuddling with you than off in Paris or Rome without you. Also, this shows too, how much you now know Blake Shelton, thanks to Barbara. Barbara commented on the way Blake looked at Miranda when he sang this song with her at the concert. He is totally in love and adores her and it shows in his look. It makes me happy to know that you make me feel the same way when you look at me;)

“Another summer day, has come and gone away, In Paris and Rome, but I wanna go home, Mmmmmmmm Maybe surrounded by, a million people I, still feel all alone, I wanna go home, Oh, I miss you, you know And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you, each one a line or two I’m fine baby, how are you? I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough, My words were cold and flat And you deserve more than that Another airplane, Another sunny place, I’m lucky I know, But I wanna go home, I’ve got to go home Let me go home, I’m just too far from where you are, I wanna come home And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life, It’s like I just stepped outside, When everything was going right, And I know just why you could not, Come along with me, This was not your dream But you always believed in me Another winter day has come, And gone away, In even Paris and Rome, And I wanna go home Let me go home, And I’m surrounded by, A million people I, Still feel alone, And I wanna go home Oh, I miss you, you know Let me go home, I’ve had my run, Baby, I’m done, I'm coming back home, Let me go home, It'll all be all right, I’ll be home tonight, I’m coming back home.”

These are the Moments (Sara Evans)

This song describes some of my favorite moments, like when were are lying in the tent before everyone woke up, or when we took a nap in my guest room or during all of other m & T P talk time, this song literally plays in my head.

“Lying here with you, listening to the rain, smiling just to see a smile upon your face, these are moments, I thank God that I’m alive, these are the moments I’ll remember all my life, I’ve found all I’ve waited for and I could not ask for more.

Looking in your eyes Seeing all I need, Everything you are is everything in me, These are the moments, I know heaven must exist, These are the moments, I know all I need is this I've found all I've waited for, And I could not ask for more.

I could not ask for more than this time together, I could not ask for more than this time with you

And every prayer has been answered, Every dream I've had's come true, Yeah, right here in this moment, Is right where I'm meant to be, Here with you here with me…”
