Keeper of the Stars by Tracy Byrd

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew

SO surprised me yesterday before I left the country for a year and said he was going with me. He had an iPod in the car with a playlist that had this song on it and a star necklace.

I was diagnosed with a growth in my head in 2007. The doctors were convinced it was cancerous and that I would only have weeks, maybe a month or 2 to live. The biopsy showed no cancerous cells and it never came back after heavy treatment with prednesone. I am still ALIVE! I cry and sing out loud every time the song plays.

I can see clearly now by Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin?for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so smurfing special

But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so smurfing special I wish I was special

But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell I'm doing here? I don't belong here

She's running out the door She's running out She runs runs runs runs Runs

Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so very special I wish I was special

But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here

I’ve been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Trying to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It’s hard when the devil won’t get off your back
It’s like carrying around the past in a hundred pound sack

{Chorus}
Today I’m gonna keep on walking
I’m gonna hold my head up high
I’m gonna leave it all behind
Today I’m gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah

Skeletons and Ghosts are hiding in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes, they all know my name
But I’m through holding in and holding onto all that pain

Today I’m gonna keep on walking
I’m gonna hold my head up high
Got No more tears to cry
Today I’m gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah
I’m gonna let it go Oh yeah



Let It Go- Tim McGraw.


Because I've been through alot and I had a very bad reputation.

Didn't submit first time. Lol

I heard this son a couple of years after having my son 16 weeks premature and it describes the NICU experience perfectly.

"Wires"
By Athlete
You got wires, going in You got wires, coming out of your skin You got tears, making tracks I got tears, that are scared of the facts

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through I see hope is here, in a plastic box I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in You got wires, coming out of your skin There's dry blood, on your wrist Your dry blood on my fingertip

Running, down corridoors through, automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through First night of your life, curled up on your own Looking at you now, you would never know

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes You'll be alright I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes You'll be alright

Alright

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through I see hope is here, in a plastic box I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes down corridors, through automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through First night of your life, curled up on your own Looking at you now, you would never know.

Awww.  
I cry every time I hear it too.
The lead singer wrote it for his daughter who was in the NICU and it makes a huge difference. He knows "that" feeling...

Ahhhh I'm crying again lol, im usually a solider when I talk about Dean's nicu time and surgeries, but music kills me, when he was a baby he used to dance to apple bottom jeans, makes me all teary eyed remembering him dancing as a baby... Its the stupidest song to hear and start crying lol

That is too precious!
I sang Hey Jude (because my son's name is Judah The Beatles are my fave group) and he still climbs in my lap, wanting me to sing it.  
Looking back, it does make you cry even more because of how for they've come.

My husband passed away in September through suicide. I listen to this a million times a day because I honestly would have stayed up with him had I known how to save his life.

How To Save A Life By The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

Quoting Mrs Mia Wallace:" I heard this son a couple of years after having my son 16 weeks premature and it describes the NICU experience ... [snip!] ... get to you, got to see this through First night of your life, curled up on your own Looking at you now, you would never know."

My daughter was in the NICU for a month. Those lyrics really speak to me. I've never heard the song though. I'm gonna go listen to it  

The lyrics that describe my life are "The Dance" by Garth Brooks.

My husband of almost 5 years, best friend of 11, died in a car accident last August, three months before he would have met his daughter. He was the most amazing guy I know, and having to learn what a friend of mine calls "A new normal" has been the hardest thing I've ever done. Having a month old daughter, and knowing how much he wanted to be a part of her life, but will never have the chance...It's hard to explain. It's almost like while I am so blessed to be her Mama, seeing her is a constant heartbreak, because it's a reminder of what we'll never have.

I'm rambling, though...How this song ties in. A couple weeks ago, I was having a really bad day. It was getting close to 4 months since I'd lost him, my daughter was fussing like crazy...I finally called my sister in law, in just plain frustration. She had come over, and I remember asking her, "What the hell did I do to end up like this? What did I do to deserve having to spend the rest of my life without him?" And she had just looked at me for a minute, and then asked me if I would have rather skipped the heartbreak, skip what had been, for the most part, a hellish four months, and instead had never known Colton. (My husband)

And that just got me thinking. Don't get me wrong, this sucks. It sucks beyond belief. But I would not have give up a moment we had together, even if I knew it would end like this. So with that being said, the lyrics to the song that has become my new life philosophy right now:
The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
the dance we shared 'neath the stars above;
For a moment all the world was right.
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

And now, I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance;
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance.

Holding you I held everything.
For a moment wasn't I the king
If I'd only known how the king would fall,
Hey, who's to say - you know I might have changed it all.

And now, I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance;
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance.

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance
