Quote of the Week

It's the quote of the week ya'll!

Normally I save this blog for awesome works of literature but today I'm going to do something a little bit different. I'm going to post song lyrics. I know, you're thinking, geez she's gonna post some crappy popular song from the radio because somehow a song about grinding dirty up in a club reminds her of her man or something. Nope. I am going to post lyrics that mean something to me but in a different way. By the way I did not meet my husband up in a club or anything like that just so you know.

If you read my other new post you would know that I am signing with an agent. After I was able to calm down and unscrew my smile I found myself listening to the playlist I made when I was writing my soon to be published novel and I'd like to share with you one of the songs that really inspired me. It's not unusual for music to inspire a writer or to put us in the right frame of mind and mood we should be in while writing a particular scene and this song always had the magic touch.

"My Love Follows You Where You Go"

More wishes than a thousand hearts can count for you
More smiles than a merry-go-round
The sweetest ending to a bed-time story told
My love follows you where you go

More laughter than a kindergarten out to play
One Sunday morning song that says it all
More summer than the California beach can hold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, your city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

Take forgiveness, take a prayer, take the deepest breath
Take the answers in your heart
When you wake up and the world is cruel and cold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, your city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

More freedom than a field of flowers in the wind
More beauty than a morning after rain
Up the steepest hill, a dark and crooked road
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise, your city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there, staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow
