the sweetest thing

over the weekend, the husband & i played hosts to my brother and his wife. true to his musician-self, the husband took us to a pub in sri hartamas to be entertained by a live band. what’s the name of the band again ah? i forgot lah. whatever it is, the songs they played were of the country music genre. siap dengan cowboy hats & boots lagi wei. but they were really good!! i was pleasantly surprised. the pub was a little empty though, by my standards lah. except for this cicak which was hiding under our table. actually it wasn’t hiding lah. it was just there waiting to be stepped on. which i did as we were leaving the pub… after having successfully avoided it the whole night. ughh.

the husband did the sweetest thing which was also a bit embarrassing for a sober person, which i was, that night. he requested for a special song to be played & when they started playing it, i was like “eh?? what’s going on here?”, bcos i didn’t recognize the opening melody while he had this knowing look on his face when he pulled me to the dance floor for a twirl. the empty dance floor. in an empty-ish pub.

romance –very.
shyness –also the very.
sweet –isn’t it just??

crazy by kenny rogers (roasters)

girl, there are no words to say

what i feel in my heart

you, you're on my mind night and day

and it hurts me when we're apart

when you're not here by my side

there is nothing in this world for me

i guess i'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see

and although you may think it's crazy

here is where i want to be

i will always need your love

now, i can see every dream

when i look in your eyes

and though things never are what they seem

there is one thing that i realize

that there's no doubt in my mind

we can make this love go on forever

i guess i'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see

and although you may think i'm crazy

here is where i'll always be

and i need you with me

'cause you are the dream

that finally came true for me

and all my life there'll be no one else

if i looked all my life there could be no one else

and for the rest of my life all i need is you

this song is special to us bcos, one night long long ago, when we only just started our fling-ing, he said

“don’t be scared okay, but this is the song i was planning on singing to my wife on our wedding night”.

awwww… sho shpooky…

& yes, i was a bit freaked out when he started singing it to me then.

but no more. it’s our special song now.

(love u babes **kiss**)

in fact, he sang it for me on our wedding night.

albeit a bit drunk. says he cant remember it even, if not for the wedding pics.

tsk tsk…
