One of my Favorites

I was listening to KSJO last night, on my way to The Scenery (www.thescenery.org) and I heard this song come on. It's something I've always liked listening to & singing....and still remember the lyrics after all these years. For many years, music was a big part of my life. I was in choir from K-12, and took a few singing classes at De Anza. I'm a good singer, but I have the sense to know that I couldn't make a career out of it. I *love* rock music, but my voice is classically trained....hardly a compatible mix, unless I want to get into pop, country or love songs. I miss being part of a choir. I miss letting my voice rise above the others & having the appreciation of those listening to me. Every now & then I toss around the idea of joining a choir, but it seems that most of them are religious/church based...which is just a direction I'm incapable of going in. I sometimes think 1 of the reasons I stayed with RHPS so long was that it was a guaranteed opportunity to sing once a week in front of a crowd. November Rain by Guns N' Roses When I look into you eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time ...on your own Do you need some time ...all alone Everybody needs some time ... on their own Don't you know you need some time ...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time ...on my own Sometimes I need some time ...all alone Everybody needs some time ... on their own Don't you know you need some time ...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one
