I Can turn the grayest sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, huh, on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I’m so blue
‘Cause I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can’t get next to you (I just can’t get next you)
I can’t get next to you, babe
I can’t get next to you
I Can fly like a bird in the sky
and I can buy anything that money can’t buy
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all the things I can do
‘Cause I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you, babe (no matter what I do)
I can’t get next to you
Uh-ya
Ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom
I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
Oh, I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most, I’m unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
‘Cause girl you’re the key to my happiness
And I, I… whoa I…
Can’t get next to YOU!
Girl, you’re blowing my mind ’cause I can’t get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, it’s you that I need, I gotta get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, I can’t get (next to you)
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, you’re blowing my mind

I Can’t Get Next To You lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
“I Can’t Get Next to You” is a 1969 number-one single recorded by The Temptations and written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Gordy (Motown) label. The song was a number-one single on the Billboard Top Pop Singles chart for two weeks in 1969, from October 18 to October 25, replacing “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies and replaced by “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley. The single was also a number-one hit on the Billboard Top R&B Singles for five weeks,[1] from October 4 to November 1, replacing “Oh, What a Night” by The Dells, and replaced by another Motown song, “Baby I’m For Real” by The Originals.
The single was the second of the Temptations’ four number-one hits on the United States pop charts, and was also one of the best-selling singles the group released. Billboard ranked it as the No. 3 song for 1969.
The applause that starts the song, which is cut short by Dennis Edwards’ spoken “Hold it, hold it, listen” line, was sampled in another Temptations song “Psychedelic Shack.”

She’s sweet as pie but if you

“Dark Horse” is a song recorded by American singer Katy Perry featuring rapper Juicy J. It was originally released on September 17, 2013, by Capitol Records as the first promotional single from Perry’s fourth studio album, Prism (2013). Three months later, it was released as the third official single on December 17. Both artists co-wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin, Cirkut, and Dr. Luke, alongside Sarah Hudson. It was conceived by Perry and Hudson during a writing session in Perry’s hometown of Santa Barbara, California, and Juicy J was later commissioned for a verse on the song.
“Dark Horse” combines the genres of trap and hip hop, replicating what has been described as a “Southern rap-techno mashup”. The track features a minimal production, with a “seductive” and “mature” tone to Perry’s vocals, while Juicy J is featured on the song’s intro and rapped bridge. Perry, in interviews, said she wanted the song to have a “witchy, spell-y kind of black magic-y idea”, so she wrote it from the perspective of a witch warning a man not to fall in love with her because if he does, she will be his last. The song was part of a competition sponsored by Pepsi in which fans could vote via Twitter on whether they would prefer either “Dark Horse” or “Walking on Air” to be released as the first promotional single from Prism.
“Dark Horse” was a commercial success, charting at number one in Canada, the Netherlands and the United States. It also reached the top ten in almost 20 countries including New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden and Venezuela as well as the Digital Songs chart of Billboard magazine.

Please ShareAs you probably know, a few years back, there was a question that became very popular among Christians, that were not sure how to handle certain situations that would arise in their lives… and that question was “What would Jesus do?” Many times this question would bring to light the answer to whatever dilemma the person was facing.
Truth be known, this question has helped me personally quite a few times, even if I wasn’t the one facing the dilemma. It provided clarity on issues I hadn’t thought about. Perhaps you too have applied this question to issues in your life. If so, I’m sure you’re glad to have such a question to use. I know I am.
Over the years I have been so amazed by song writers that have been able to create simple lyrics with music, and in a matter of minutes (sometimes even less) move me emotionally. In under 5 minutes (in most cases), they can tell a story with words that rhyme, that pull directly at my heartstrings. Does this ever happen to you?
I’ve often thought that perhaps it is because of my musical background ( I use to be a drummer in a Top 40 band back in the ’70s), but I don’t think it is. In any case, I want to tell you about how this video came to be.
One day I was sitting in my club basement, which is where I spend most of my time (my man cave), and I was just kind of talking to the Lord and thinking about the things going on in my own life (like we all do), and this idea popped in my mind. The idea consisted of 4 words… the same 4 words that are the title of this page (What Would Jesus Sing?).
That was it. There were no details… just those words. I didn’t know anything about any video that the Lord was coaxing me to make. In fact, at first, I thought I would write a song with that title and sing the song myself while playing my guitar. Oops! I forgot to tell ya, I also play guitar just a bit, but I would not call myself a guitarist by any means, which is probably why the video idea (when it did come along) seem like the thing to do. I’m sure the song, had I decided to go that route, would have been very similar, because my intention was to somehow connect the same songs that ended up in the video.
It did take me over 2 months to put all the pieces together, while picking and choosing the song clips that would make my points. I don’t know if anyone else has ever noticed this before, but for as long as I can remember, there have been song lyrics that seem to be applicable to God or Jesus communicating love to us. After eliminating many other songs, the video above is what I’ve come up with. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Please ShareIn My Life with Lyrics By the Beatles
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

I pray you’ll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise
in times when we don’t know.
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way.
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
I pray we’ll find your light,
Nel cuore restera
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
L’eterna stella sei.
Whoa oh oh oa!
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer,
Quanta fede c’e.
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza.
Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino,
Simbolo di pace…di fraternita.
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E desiderio te
And watch us from above.
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro se.
Another soul to love.

Needs to find a place,

Please ShareYour hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
but bear this mind it was meant to be and i'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks and it all makes sense to me
i know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes
when you smile you've never loved, your stomach or your thighs the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine But i'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if i do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
i'm in love with you and all these little things
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
and all those conversations are the secrets that i keep though it makes no sense to me
i know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
you never want to know how much you weigh
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
but you're perfect to me
i won't let this little things slips out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things
you'll never love yourself half as much as i love you
you'll never treat yourself right darling but i want you to
if i let you know, i'm here for you
maybe you'll love yourself like i love you oh
i've just let these little things slips out of my mouth
cause it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
and i'm in love with you (and all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to

Please ShareI hope you never lose
your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath
for granted
God forbid love ever leave you
empty handed
I hope you still feel small
when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes
I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith
a fighting chance
And when you get the choice
to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
