I heard on the radio this morning this song, "Next to You" by Kenny Rankin.  It has been a very, very long time since I've heard this song, which brings back memories.  Well, Kenny Rankin songs are just soo soothing and relaxing, you just want to close your eyes and think of the good old days.

But then when I was searching this song in the internet, I found out that Kenny just passed away last July 2009.  My heart skipped a bit for a moment.  So long, Kenny.  Your songs will always be close to my heart.

Here's Kenny Rankin, singing "Next to You". 

Next to You (Lyrics)

If I had me a bag of good wishes
There's no mystery to what I would do
I would use all my magical powers
And try to get next to you

I would bring you a field of flowers
As your lucky star would do
With my heart I would paint you a rainbow
If I could get next to you

There's so much we can share
However far too long

We both know that there's so much here
This is where I belong

Late at night when I close my eyes
Make believin' that you are here
Dreamin' of the things we do
If I could get next to you

In my mind, Ooh ooh, I have kissed you
And it feels like a thousand times
I'd lose track of all the hours
Dreamin' I'm next to you

This is where I belong

Late at night when I close my eyes
Make believin' that you are here
Dreamin' of the things we do
If I could get next to you

In my mind, Ooh ooh, I have kissed you
And it feels like a thousand times
I'd lose track of all the hours
Wishing and hoping
That I could get next to you

Another thing that made me happy today -- I was able to embed an online radio playing Love Songs (for the drama queen that I am).

I am posting it here, but the radio is also available at the side bar to your right.  Indeed, happy-happy! Joy-joy!

Ok, let me listen first to some music while *patiently* waiting for my photos to upload.  <tapping fingers now...>

[Verse 1]
Trying to decide Trying to decide
If I really wanna go out tonight
I never used to go out without ya
Not sure I remember how ta

Gonna be late Gonna be late
But, all my girls don't have to wait 'cause
I dont know if I like my outfit
I tried everything in my closet

[Chorus]
Nothin feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Takin them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missin you

Imma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay

With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on

Hey

[Verse 2]
Gotta be strong gotta be strong but I'm
Really hurtin' now that you're gone
I thought maybe I'd do some shopping
But I couldn't get past the door and

Now I don't know, now I don't know If I'm
Ever really gonna let you go
And I couldn't even leave my apartment
I'm stripped down, torn up about it

[Chorus]
Nothin' feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Takin' them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missin' you

Im'a step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay

With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on
('cause I missed you, 'cause I missed you)
With nothing but your T-shirt on
(said I missed you ... baby)

[Repeated On Verse 2]
Now I don't know, now I don't know If I'm
Ever really gonna let you go
And I couldn't even leave my apartment I'm stripped down, torn up about it

[Half Chorus]
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missin you

Imma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay

[Chorus]
Nothing feels right when I'm not with you
Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos
Taking them off 'cause I feel a fool
Trying to dress up when I'm missin you

Imma step out of this lingerie
Curl up in a ball with something Hanes
In bed I lay

With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on
With nothing but your T-shirt on

[Song Ending]
nothing but your T-shirt on
ooh let me tell you no
nothing but your T-shirt on
ooh let me tell you no
nothing but your T-shirt on

Let me try embedding a song first. 

This is "Out of Reach" sung by Gabrielle with acoustic accompaniment.
Enjoy.

"Out Of Reach"

Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK

But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you

But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there
For me
