Audio Love- Thankful Edition

Never let life consume you to the point where you fail to seize any and every opportunity to express thankfulness and appreciation for the special people in your life. So in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday that just passed, I thought I’d pull out some of the songs currently on my playlist that accurately say “thank you and I love you.”

Fly Lyrics
“Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you”

Fly Interpretation
My life’s journey has been far from perfect … this much I know. But I also know that my path was necessary as it prepared me for my current life with you. So even though it may not have felt good at the time, I’m thankful for every trial, every heartbreak, and every misunderstanding. Without them, who knows where I would be? And who knows if I would have ever found you?

So I’m thankful for the uncomfortable moments of my past … and I’m thankful for you.

Today- PJ Morton

Fly Lyrics
“Don’t need a Valentine’s Day to tell you how much I love you
Don’t need an anniversary to show you how much I care
Don’t need a holiday to tell you how I feel
All I need is today.”

Fly Interpretation
I won’t focus all of my time or energy on manmade holidays to express how much I love you. While I know those moments mean a lot to you, I never want to let a day pass without taking the time to show you exactly how much you mean to me. In fact, let me just say it now … I love you. Now and forever.

Time After Time- Boyz II Men

Fly Lyrics
“If you’re lost you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time”

Fly Interpretation
I’ll never leave you … and I’ll never stop loving or appreciating you. No matter where life may take us, I want you to always know that I’ll always be here for you. I know that things haven’t always worked out in the way that we might have liked them to, but that’ll still never change one simple fact:

You mean everything to me … and I’ll continue to prove that to you. Time after time.

Lucky- Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

Fly Lyrics
“I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again”

Fly Interpretation
There aren’t many people who get the opportunity to fall in love with the one that their soul was made for. With that understanding in mind, I sincerely appreciate how fortunate I am to be one of those select few. Not only are you my best friend, but you are the love of my life … thank you for being you.
