Silly love songs...

...gotta love 'em.

I was listening to the bluegrass station on Launchcast tonight while I was baking my famous "kick-ass chocolate cake" and stuffing a pork loin full of garlic/onion jam, Craisins, and pecans (surprise retirement dinner tomorrow for a co-worker). I forget how much I love bluegrass music until I start listening. There's something about a mandolin that just makes me HAPPY. And Alison Krauss--she's truly amazing. I'd love to be able to sing like she does. This is the song I heard tonight. Kinda silly/sappy, maybe. But it was really sweet. And it made me smile. Kinda wistfully, but it was a smile. That's a start, eh?

"I Will"--Alison Krauss

Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will

I will

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
