I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE YOUR FAVORITE SONG TO YOU MY DEAREST FRIEND..

Words and Music by Jimmy Davis
and Charles Mitchell


The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms,
but when I woke dear, I was mistaken,
and I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you and make you happy
if you will only say the same
but if you leave me to love another
you'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once dear you really loved me
that no one else could come between
but now you've left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE OUR FAVORITE SONG TO YOU MY DEAREST FRIEND.




From the movie: "Breakfast At Tiffany's"
Singer: Andy Williams


Moonriver wider than a mile,
I'm crossin' you in style someday,
Old dreamer,
You heartbreaker,
Wherever you're goin',
I'm goin' your way.

Two drifters off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' 'round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon river and me.

(Chorus)
Moonriver wider than a mile,
I'm crossin' you in style someday,
Old dreamer,
You heartbreaker,
Wherever you're goin',
I'm goin' your way.

Two drifters off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' 'round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon river and me. 

    






  









Dear my precious Angel Susan,

Happy Anniversary to you in heaven my sweetheart Susan!  Today is Our Eighth Wonderful and Special Years we became sweethearts and shared our lives together.  On this day eight years ago you had made my life so full of love and wonderful.  You had brought so much joys and happiness into my life.  You were my whole world and your love was the greatest gift I have ever received.  I will cherish it in my heart always. 

I woke up this morning with a feeling empty and sadness in my heart my sweetheart Susan.  I feel very lonely.  It's the first year our Anniversary without each other.  I wish I could pick up the phone to call you.  My heart aches so badly to think you were gone.  You may be gone from my presence but never in my heart.  You have been holding the key to my heart.  A special place in my heart that I have given to you will always be yours forever and for eternity.  No one could ever understand the loves we had shared for each other in those past years.  I cherish every moment we had been shared with each other my sweetheart Susan.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine my sweetheart Susan.  I still remember we sang the song "You Are My Sunshine" together:
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away."

I am blessed to have you being such an important part of my life, and everyday I miss you and think of you and wish it could have been different, and everyday going forward I will continue to miss you.  I am the lucky one to be able to call you my very best friend, there are some people out there who will never find someone like you and therefore I am much more blessed.   I love you so much Susan and I miss you more than words could ever say.  It is better to have loved and lost, then to never be loved at all...

I had not and will not have forgotten you my sweetheart Susan.  Your memories lives on in my heart forever my sweetheart Susan.  I have been cherishing your spirit and love in my heart always until we will be reunited one sweet day.  Thank you for being a part of my life my dearest Susan.  I love you with all my heart today, tomorrow, and always.  In my heart and soul you are forever loved and eternally missed my sweetheart Susan. 

Forever Yours.

MY TRUE LOVE

Happy Anniversary to you in heaven my sweetheart Susan!  I will not pass on her in the past tense because she is and will be forever in my heart.  My life is so lonely and will never be the same without you and only you can ease that pain but no one else can.  Everyone has something that they really want and my dream is you.  In my life I never had a dream come true until I found you, you are the one I think about each day.

It has been almost two years since you were gone but I can't find ways to let you go but even though I pretend that I can move on you will always be the one I love and I can never let you go.  No matter where life takes me you will always be a part of me and you are the one I will never forget because I love you so much.  Love is a strange and funny thing and you have made me happy which I will never forget. When it seems all your hopes and dreams are a million miles away I will be there.  Don't ever forget that I have you and you have me.

There is a place waiting just for you, it's a place where your dreams will come true, that place is called my heart.  I am going to remember you and you're going to remember me. No one has ever loved you like I do.  If it was judgment day the only thing in my life I am guilty of loves you so much.  If I lose everything I ever had and all my money I would be happier than ever if I still have you.

I want to take you 100,000 miles away.  Every moment I am with you I cherish that moment because I love being with you.  I want to stand by you and I want to fight your battles for you.  I try to concentrate when I am not with you and I find it impossible.  My words mean more than just words. I don't really care what people say but I care about you with my whole heart.  If I could I would go back to the moment I met you because I have enjoyed every second I have had with you.  I enjoyed looking out for you, protecting you, listening and talking to you.  You maybe feel happy with your whole heart because I do and I want to feel that whole heart for you.

Looking back on where we first met I knew you are special, you make me smile and that's something you can't buy.  I would do anything to make you happy because it would have made me happy also.  I can show you the world and open your eyes taking you into a whole new world, where no one can tell us where to go.  I feel like I am in a whole new world with you and it's a wonderful feeling.  I want to be with you and no one can love you like I can.  I used to be scared of everything and then I learned there is nothing to be scared of.  I am with you and you don't have to fear anything or anyone.  I wish I could die for you and that's how much I love you my sweetheart Susan.

MY LOVE FOR YOU
=============================

I awoke this morning with thoughts of you
Smiling inwardly at the things we do
Feeling thankful for all we share
Missing you deeply, wishing you were here
I couldn't help but ask within my soul
What have I done to deserve such a love?
How was I chosen for a bond such as this?
A warm, tender love with a magnificent kiss
A love who enthralls me the way no one ever has done
A love with whom I am totally one
A love who unleashed so many feelings within me
with very little effort set me totally free
A love who took me to heights
I'd not known
A love who I call my very own
A love who can console me
when my world falls apart
and mend every piece of a torn apart heart
A love whose smile brings joy to my life
Whose melodious voice sends chills up my spine
A love whose arms make me feel so secure
take away all tensions and calm every fear
A love who's stuck by me through thick and thin
and one I will love forever
MY LOVE HAS NO END...
=============================

EACH DAY
===============================

Lord, let me rise in the morning
with thanksgiving and joy
For through the night you've kept me
From tragedy and harm.
Lord, let me start each day
With meditation on you
Knowing you will be with me
All the day through.
And as I meet others
Keep a smile upon my face.
Help me to love...
Unconditionally
As you've done through your grace.
Help me to not be
Judgmental,
Since others' shoes
I've not walked in.
Let me show through words and
actions, What it means to be
a friend.
Let me give words of encouragement
To those who are in need
Lord, use me as your vessel
Use me, as you please.
And if I meet a challenge
As I travel on my way
Let me look, at once, to you Lord
And from your promises, LET NOT,
My mind stray.
For, I know
No matter how hard the battle
No matter
How cold the way may seem
I will be VICTORIOUS
For you'll be with me to the end.
===============================

HOW WE FIRST MET!
 ==========================================

Do you remember how we first met?
It's one of the sweetest memories,
I possess I look back and see us both, 
two people meeting for the first time,
and I wonder who would have guessed,
then how our friendship would grow.

And become as binding as only we both know,    
Whether tempest blows, or gale, or storm,
To know I have you to lean my head on,
Whether strife you encounter, or battle, or war,
I'm here for you, I'll be there when you call. 
  
Maybe, when years and more have gone,
And I, with wrinkled cheeks, am forlorn,
Perhaps with hopes all dashed to the ground,
Perhaps dreams, all shattered, shall surround, 
The thought of you will still make me smile.

And I'll stop all who pass and say: "Wait a while"
For though my eyes are weak and old,
And my mind is feeble, or so I'm told,
There remains one thing I can never forget,
For I still remember how we first met.
==========================================

MY MEMORIES OF YOU


There were so much precious memories about you my sweetheart Susan.  I will always cherish and remember them forever in my heart.   You were and are always a special person to me.

Your spaghetti that you cooked was the most favorite taste I have never tasted in any Italian restaurants I went to.  I ate your spaghetti with garlic bread and I loved it so much.  I haven't wanted to try spaghetti since you were gone baby.  I would love to try it when you would cook.  I wish I could try your spaghetti again so much baby.  

You knew I don't drink pop with caffeine free.  There were one or two days I drank Diet Pepsi with Caffeine Free.  I kept having a headache all the time but I didn't know why.  I kept taking Tylenol Headache for it.  You suddendly said, "oh baby I know why you have a headache."  I looked at you and asked, "why baby?"  Then you said, "because you drank Diet Pepsi with Caffeine Free instead of regular Diet Pepsi.  You need caffeine baby if not you will have a headache."  So we went to the store and I bought regular Diet Pepsi.  You were right about that baby I didn't have any headache after that.  Thank you baby for taking good care of me.  

Why was everything about you so special to me baby?  All these memories about you will always and forever be remembered, missed, and loved in my heart baby.  I love you with all my heart and soul for eternity my sweetheart Susan.

7 DAILY PRAYERS
FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY

SUNDAY

Lord God almighty, I beseech Thee,

Amen.

---

TUESDAY

Lord God almighty, I beseech Thee,
by the precious blood
which Thy Divine Son Jesus shed in His bitter crowning with thorns,
deliver the souls in purgatory,

in Thy glory and bless Thee forever.

Amen.

WEDNESDAY

Lord God almighty, I beseech Thee,
by the precious blood
which Thy Divine Son Jesus shed
through the streets of Jerusalem

that so, on that throne of glory which awaits it,
it may magnify Thee and bless Thee forever.

Amen.

---

THURSDAY

LORD God almighty, I beseech Thee,
by the precious body and blood
of Thy Divine Son Jesus,

to be a perpetual sacrifice and life-giving food
of His own faithful people,
deliver the souls in purgatory,

which was most devoted to this mystery of infinite love;
that, with Thy Divine Son,
and with Thy Holy Spirit,
it may ever praise Thee for this Thy wondrous love
in Thy eternal glory.

Amen.

---

FRIDAY

LORD God almighty, I beseech Thee,
by the precious blood
which Thy Divine Son shed on this day,
upon the wood of the cross,
from His most sacred hands and feet,
deliver the souls in purgatory,

that the blame rest not with me
that Thou bringest it not forthwith
to praise Thee in Thy glory
and to bless Thee forever.

Amen.

---

SATURDAY

Lord God almighty, I beseech Thee,
by the precious blood
which gushed forth from the side of Thy Divine Son Jesus
in the sight and to the extreme pain
of His most holy Mother
deliver the souls in purgatory,
and especially that one amongst them all
which was ever the most devout to this great Lady;
that it may soon attain unto Thy glory,
there to praise Thee in her,
and her in Thee,
world without end.

Amen.

THE ROSE BEYOND THE WALL 
~ By A. L. Frink ~ 
 ========================================

Near a shady wall a rose once grew, 
Budded and blossomed in God's free light, 
Watered and fed by the morning dew, 
Shedding it's sweetness day and night. 

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, 
Slowly rising to loftier height, 
It came to a crevice in the wall 
Through which there shone a beam of light. 

Onward it crept with added strength 
With never a thought of fear or pride, 
It followed the light through the crevice's length 
And unfolded itself on the other side. 

The light, the dew, the broadening view 
Were found the same as they were before, 
And it lost itself in beauties new, 
Breathing it's fragrance more and more. 

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve 
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive-- 
The rose still grows beyond the wall.  

Scattering fragrance far and wide 
Just as it did in days of yore, 
Just as it did on the other side, 
Just as it will forevermore. 
 ========================================

TIME TO REMEMBER
By Denise Timmerman
========================================

Time is a teacher,
time is a healer,
time can stand still,
or time can run away with you.

For only memories hold
the momment of time.
Rapped up in a picture,
that only time can remind.

For memories and momments,
we hold in our hearts,
they become a part of the soul and heart.
Without them we are lost in the rapture of time.

So wherever you find the precious thing called time,
never louse it for it is measured by the momment,
and remembered in a minute,
and kept in the treasure chest of time.
========================================

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."

"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found

THINKING OF YOU MY DEAREST ANGEL


HEAVEN'S PLACE
==========================

You led the way to Heaven,
Quite a journey, I am sure.
The path you took has lit the way,
Because your soul was pure.

You took with you my hopes and dreams,
For a life you'll never know.
And the loneliness it seems,
Has filled my heart with woe.

Please understand my Angel,
I can't see what you see.
One day we'll share forever,
For in Paradise we'll be.

I'm coming to the place you've found,
That you call your very own.
So save a place for me by you,
When I make my journey Home.
==========================

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG
TO YOU, MY DEAREST FRIEND


UNCHAINED MELODY
================================

Oh my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch, alone, lonely times,
And time goes by so slowly,
And time can do so much. Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love.
God, speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me, wait for me.

Oh my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch, alone, lonely times,
And times goes by so slowly,
And time can do so much. Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love.
God, speed your love to me.

TO YOU, MY DEAREST FRIEND



TITLE: TRULY MADLY DEEPLY
SINGER: SAVAGE GARDEN
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I’ll be your dream
I’ll be your wish I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
Because I’m counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning yeah

(Chorus)
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bath with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining
Brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure in the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the
Comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

(Chorus)
Oh can you see it baby
You don’t have to close your eyes
Because it’s standing right here before you
All that you need with surely come

I’ll be your dream I’ll be your wish
I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do

(Chorus)
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DO YOU REALLY KNOW
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME? 
 =========================

Sometimes I wake up
in the middle of the night,
shivering from fright feeling,
empty feeling nothing,
because I think about
how it would be
if you weren't here.

And then I wonder
if you really know
how very much you mean to me,
how incredible I think you are,
how you are a part of all my emotions,
how you are the deepest meaning in my life.

Saddened hearts are healed
In knowing the pain of life is over,
And the beauty of the soul revealed,
Please always know that,
I love you more than anything
else in the whole world.
      =========================

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO YOU,
MY DEAREST FRIEND



I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, ooh

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye--please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

And I will always love you
I will always love you

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But, above all this, I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I'll always
I will always love you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO YOU,
MY DEAREST FRIEND


I WILL REMEMBER YOU 
  ===========================================

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
 
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
 
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
 
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
 
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
 
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
 
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
 
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
 ===========================================

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO YOU, 
MY DEAREST FRIEND



YOU'RE IN MY HEART
=====================================

I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clientele
spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience
The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you

(Chorus)
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

(Chorus)
You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
=====================================

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
===================================

When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the master’s plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
===================================
