Magical Moment 125, "I Still Think About You"

This is a song I wrote probably 6 years ago, but never really knew the right arrangement until Norah Jones came along. Then I knew I wanted that acoustic, simple sound with the piano as an embellishment, rather than carrying the entire accompaniment like many of my other songs. Hope you enjoy. Recording below.

“I Still Think About You”

Verse 1:

You didn’t break my heart.

You didn’t crush all my dreams.

You never mistreated me.

We agreed it wasn’t meant to be.

We casually said goodbye

Both smiling as we walked away.

No anger pain or sadness.

Another boy, another day.

I never was in love with you.

And still I swear this is true.

But ever now and then

I have a passing thought of you.

A fleeting moment of memory

When I bite my lip and smile.

And think of that brief time

We were together for a while.

Chorus:

I still think about you.

Sometimes I wish you’d just call.

One more try could be the last try.

Could be the end of it all.

Could be the end of all our searching

Or a crash and burn mess.

And though I think about you

We’ll never know I guess.

Verse 2:

I shouldn’t still want you.

We had no raging fervent fire.

But I often wonder

Is me you desire?

If you saw me for a moment

Do you think you’d feel the same?

And have the urge to rekindle that spark we had again?

Bridge:

It’s not a burning question

Just a nagging curiosity

If we had once more to try it,

Would you wanna be with me?

Ralph, My personal view is that it should be taken in reverence, by those who have accepted Christ as their Savior and have a clean heart. It is a time to remember the the sacrifice that Jesus made. -Elizabeth

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do not endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le...

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty. And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 280, "The Eleventh Hour"

The Veterans Day Parade, NYC On July 29, 2001 , five exceptional men were honored by the President of the United States for their remarkable military service. They were involved in a top secret mission that required unfathomable intelligence and as a result, literally won a battle which was instrumental in winning the war. Not the war that was happening in 2001, not even the Gulf War. It was World War II, and they were the Navajo Code Talkers who were largely responsible for winning the bloody battle of Okinawa. The only problem with the ceremony was that just 5 remained of the original 29. Our country was too late in thanking the other 24, and nearly too late in thanking those 5 men. On March 10, 2010, three hundred women won the Congressional Gold medal for their outstanding war service. Unfortunately, 800 received the award posthumously. These were the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II, who devoted themselves to flying military aircraft like the B-26 and B-...
