FREDDIE MERCURY - I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU (EXT'D VERSION - HIGH QUALITY AUDIO)
https://youtu.be/vgpR2gS8IxI


I Was Born to Love You
Freddie Mercury

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you, ha
Every single day...
Alright, hey hey

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life

You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You we're made for me
You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I'd kill for your love

So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream
And my dream's come true
So hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Comin' through -

I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you, honey
Every single day of my life

I wanna love you
I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you, love…

William Shakespeare quotes about love
Hamlet - (1600-02) Act III, scene 2, line 181.-

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;
When little fears grow great, great love grows there.

Francesca Gagnon - Je voudrais bien
https://youtu.be/Hc9fDn-Z3PQ

If only I could

If only I could have you...
but I can't help but wait.
Time flies, I don't know anymore, you're not there.
If only I could have you, you know it,
but I don't want to hear what you say.
Times flies, I don't know anymore, I'm staying there.

Tell me, what should I do to win you back?
Take my hand, I can't wait any longer.

I'd rather like you to say you're nothing without me,
that I'm dreaming and creating you all at once.
Why do you have to always surrender,
like you would after a fight?1
And why do your eyes show no sign of emotion?

Tell me, what should I do to win you back?
Take my hand, I can't wait any longer.

I often dream of taking you like a king would
I know lack of patience is the worst shortcoming
Why should we always live under your rule?
Why should I get the things I dreamed of
only when they don't make me dream anymore?

Tell me, what should I do to win you back?
Take my hand, I can't wait any longer

SHAWN HOOK - Every Red Light (LYRIC VIDEO)
https://youtu.be/F_ZQYKyylFw


"Every Red Light"

I’m driving
It’s raining
I’m waiting
The stop light is shinning on the water
In the gutter on the street
And the traffic is so thick
I’m so sick
Of driving for a second then stopping
I could be walking faster than this
The signs say I’m not too far
From the place where it all fell apart

I hit every red light
On my way to your place tonight
I was stuck behind the slowest car
All I want to be is where you are
I hit every red light

I can taste you
As I race to you
To kiss you
I hate how it ended before I left
There was something I wanted to say
But I’m afraid
I’ll be too late
I should have stayed
Chances are you’ve already locked the door
Turned in your keys
Well this is not the way that I wanted to leave it
Only this would happen to me now
Why now?

I hit every red light
On my way to your place tonight
I was stuck behind the slowest car
All I want to be is where you are
I hit every red light

Caught up in the stop and go
There’s only one thing I know
While I’m stranded here inside my car
All I want to be is where you are

Well you’re not answering my phone
I guess I should have known you’d be long gone my now
I was half way out of town when I realized
I can’t leave without putting up a fight

I’m driving
It’s raining
I’m waiting
I hit every red light
On my way to your place tonight
I was stuck behind the slowest car
All I want to be is where you are
Caught up in the stop and go
There’s only one thing I know
While I’m stranded here inside my car
All I want to be is where you are
It’s where I want to be
It’s where I want to be
I hit every red light
I hit every red light
I hit every red light
I hit every red light

One Life - Shawn Hook
https://youtu.be/3PWPItGVI6o



Lyrics:
Why's the world so divided?
Everybody's fighting 'bout the way we think
Someone else should live
When our kids are the leaders
They'll do it like the teachers
That don't hear what we're saying
But they see the moves we make

We take separate roads
We make different homes but
We're all tied to this one life
Love has no race
Every heart beats the same and
We're all tied to this one life

From the slum to a palace
Put your finger on atlas
Everywhere the air is still the same
From the god's of those who follow
Everybody's hollow
If you turn the other way
Put yourself in their place
Something's gotta break

We take separate roads
We make different homes but
We're all tied to this one life
Love has no race
Every heart beats the same and
We're all tied to this one life
We're all tied to this one life

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This one life
This one life

We take separate roads
We make different homes but
We're all tied to this one life
Love has no race
Every heart beats the same and
We're all tied to this one life

We're all tied to this one life
We're all tied to this one life

Play "Immortality"
on Amazon Music
"Immortality"

So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow

And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,
But you are my only,

And I must follow on the road that lies ahead,
And I won't let my heart control my head,
But you are my only

We don't say goodbye,
We don't say goodbye,
And I know what I've got to be

Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside

Fulfill your destiny,
Is there within the child?
My storm will never end,
My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts,
The joker's wild,

We don't say goodbye,
We don't say goodbye,
I'll make them all remember me

'Cause I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,
But you are my only

I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I'll find my way,
I will make them give to me

Immortality, oh, baby
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me inside

We don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye

With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say goodbye



Our DN Family of Friends Wishing You All A Beautiful Day !

C�line Dion - Hymn
https://youtu.be/6bnRM3pX0EQ

[Verse 1]
Infinity, where does it start?
Where do we go when we depart?
The ice is thin; you're standing still
When you advance, it falls apart

[Verse 2]
Open your eyes, look straight ahead
A morning sky hangs by a thread
You hear your voice as it echoes
The heart of a man as he grows will glow
Sing a hymn

[Verse 3]
Sing a hymn for your brothers
Everybody needs to know
Sing a hymn for your father
And finally, the sun will grow

I dedicate Hymn to My Dad John (May 1900 - Dec 1961 and My Father-in-law Fernando (June 1912 - Dec 2005) We miss you so however your love shines bright in the hearts of your children.

I Wil Love Again

Lara Fabian

Did I ever tell you how you live in me
Every waking moment, even in my dreams
And if all this talk is crazy
And you don't know what I mean
Does it really matter
Just as long as I believe

I will love again
Though my heart is breaking, I will
Love again
Stronger than before
I will love again
Even if it takes a lifetime to get over you
Heaven only knows, I will love again

People never tell you
The way they truly feel
I would die for you gladly
If I knew it was for real
So if all this talk sounds crazy
And the words don't come out right
Does it really matter
If it gets me through this night

I will love again
Though my heart is breaking, I will
Love again
Stronger than before
I will love again
Even if it takes a lifetime to get over you
Heaven only…

Andrea Bocelli- Dare To Live (Duet With Laura Pausini)

Versions: #1#2
Try looking at tomorrow not yesterday
And all the things you left behind
All those tender words you did not say
The gentle touch you couldn't find

In these days of nameless faces
There is no one truth but only pieces
My life is all i have to give

Dare to live until the very last
Dare to live forget about the past
Dare to live giving something of yourself to others
Even when it seems there's nothing more left to give

But if you see a human
In front of your entrance
Who sleeps wrapped in a box,
If you would listen to the world in the morning
Without the noise of the rain.
You are that one who can create with your voice,
You think with the thoughts of people,
Of the God who is just the God.

To live, no one has ever taught it,
To live, it's impossible to live without the past,
To live is beautiful even if you have never asked for.
It will be a song, someone will sing it.

Dare to live searching for the ones you love,
(Why, why, why, why are you not living tonight?)
Dare to live no one but we all,
(Why, why, why, why are you not living now?)
Dare to live until the very last,
(Why, why, why is the life not the life?)
Your life is all you have to give (Because)
You have not lived the life!

Dare to live until the very last,
(Why, why, why is the life not the life?)
Your life is all you have to give (Because)
You have never lived.

I will say no (I will say yes)
Say dare to live
Dare to live

Elton John - Healing Hands
https://youtu.be/ImP5gvqFrnA

never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird someday
Had a place where I could land

I could have sworn we were all locked in
Ain't that what you said
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the power of love is dead

But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again

Chorus

And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light, where the darkness ends,
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

I never knew love like poison
That burned like a fire
All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes

I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold

But giving into the nighttime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again

And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light,
where the darkness ends,
Touch me now
and let me see again,
Rock me now
in your gentle healing hands
