roses in my heart

I want to sing again!

Although I am feeling much better than last week, my ear is still plugged and as a result, alot in the world seems fuzzy to me. I just got back from a follow-up appointment with my Doctor. The decrease in pain is 'a good sign' she says but my ear is not better yet....meaning..more drops and I'll have to see a specialist. I'm sure all will be well soon. This whole thing is probably so stubborn because it took so long to diagnose (twice mis-diagnosed by other doctors). I'm grateful that it is less painful now and will do as the Doctor ordered, but I want to sing again! As I was driving back to the office from seeing the Doctor, I was playing my latest Amy Grant cd. I always croon when I'm driving alone...usually quite loudly, but with my ear plugged, I can barely sing - not that I was Whitney before?! ...but still, I want to sing again!!

Here's what I was crooning out today:

Simple Things
by Amy Grant

Wake up baby look around
Birds sing, ooooh that sound
Reminds me of a line
From Unchained Melody

Feel like I'm a little girl
Best thing in the whole wide world
Is I can see the makings of a memory
I remember how it used to be
Well I'm still dreaming...

Cuz I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things

Ain't nothing like a sunny day
Chit-chat at a street cafe
Just paint the picture, baby
Where you wanna be

Take a walk, take a ride
So far, you and I
Don't need a plan
But we can share
This revelry

I remember how I used to want it all
Funny now the big things seem so small

I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things
Through all the days
The blues, the greys
A ray of light keeps shining...
