(I'm sorry for the choppy ending ~ my editing skills are rusty. I also don't know why the video says it's 2:42...it's only a short 1:42. The rest is just black for some reason. Time to reflect, I suppose. Cosmic intervention.)
I set out on a narrow way
many years ago.
Hoping I would find true love
along the broken road.
But I got lost a time or two,
wiped my brow and kept pushing through.
I couldn't see how every sign
pointed straight to you.
And every long lost dream
led me to where you are.
Others who broke my heart,
they were like northern stars
pointing me on my way,
and into your loving arms.
Well this much I know ~
I know is true ~
That God blessed the broken road
and led me straight to you.

Welcome back, OutsideMyself.

Fantastic. It's tough putting yourself out there.
RATED!
Your voice is positively angelic.
And yes, it happens when you're not looking. The italians call it "il colpo di fulmine", or loosely translated in English "the thunderbolt".
Nice to see you've been struck. :-D
and congrats!
Smithery - I'm so glad; you deserve it. xo
Trig - Im so glad you're here. Thank you and thank you. :)
JK - Interesting you picked out those words. They are truer than I can express!
Duane - At the risk of sounding mushy (TOO LATE!!) I wish everyone could feel like this. But they'd have to find a soulmate...which I never thought existed to be honest. Thanks for your friendship, Duaneheart.
Your voice matches your name perfectly. Isn't happiness grand?
Already happened hasn't it? :-)
Lunchlady - The words give you the inside scoop on my heart, but if you listen and like that, too, that would be cool, as well. :-)
Well done girl. I wanted more! Beautiful, beautiful voice.
Fireyes - It is easy to find your way when you're lit up from the inside!
Lunchlady - Thank you, hun. It's been a long time.
Pamela - I appreciate all the positive thoughts!

WAH - Thank you, singer girl. That means a lot coming from you. :)
Cathy - We've been asking if it's luck or fate or ...? No real explanation except that we found each other at the precise moment in our lives that we were supposed to.
Little coincidences keep mounting...and as much as we say we're not surprised anymore, I still get shivers when they happen! :)
Yarn - I've missed you too. I took a picture the other day that reminded me of you!! I wish I could attach files to OS emails! I'm glad you smiled and cried; the overwhelming happiness you sense created what you heard. Again, so good to see you!
It is a- hop in a bath tuba time.
I really loved the written lyrics.
I heard some of your soft voice.
You remind me of Ray Charles:`When a Man Loves a Women? But, your skin color is whiter. Oh, sister. Thanks for a Good Morning voice. A lovely soft, singsong. Beautiful. You help listeners see the world clearer through your eyes/spirit. You sing like thee damsel.
`
And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
Of the broad road that stretches, and the roadside fire.
- R'L. Stevenson.
I pray you keep singing.
Who taught a warbler?
I say:`Nature's Beauty.
"Who taught a warbler?
I say:`Nature's Beauty."
Yeah, no lessons here, just a love of singing. And now, a love.
I'm glad you were here!!!
Thank you for this.
I love you.
