It’s a Monday! Most
people get blues on this day and while it was indeed terrible during the NS
days, I have learnt how to cope with the start of the week. I had little
choice; away from your loved ones, you could only pin your happiness by looking
forward to the weekends.
Most of the time I do
not want to start counting on Mondays as they were premature. Normally when it
comes to Tues night, it becomes a bit more easier. Once Wednesday starts, you
just have to tell yourself shit is about to end by time u sleep as it will be
Thursday then. When Thursday starts, you are pumped up and ready to go as you
know by the time the dust settles in on Thursday evening, your weekend is here.
Though said, it is
still important to try and have a relaxed mood walking in to the office on
Mondays. I normally start by playing a nice piece of music. It could be a piano
piece or a sentimental rock ballad. I am
a sentimental crab, so I often like to play songs that allows me to reminisce a
little bit while I sip my coffee before the work day starts.
I remember that
when I was in Secondary 1 and 2, I listened to many English songs; albeit an
influence from my peers where the radio was often on and blank cassette tapes
always on standby to record the nice ones on air. It seemed like a fashion to
do so and I would listen long and start to know many songs thereon.
The song I have
chosen to share is ‘When I look into your eyes’. It is a rock ballad and a
wonderful one to hear. The lyrics are meaningful and it reminds me of my time
when I was a secondary school student. This song was popular then and I
remembered hearing it at one of my BBQ sessions which my classmates had organized.
Talk a walk along East Coast these days and it’s a surprise that you don’t see
any radio at all. It’s a shame as everyone is either busy talking, eating or
playing with their handphones. Once, more, the cons of globlalizing that thing.
Back then, we had no such gadget. A pager if you are fortunate, that’s all.
When I Look Into Your
Eyes"
I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I've ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise to the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die
So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause when I see my whole world
I see only you
[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you
We will never say good-bye
Can't stop this feelin'
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything
When I look at you
You're all I've ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise to the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die
So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause when I see my whole world
I see only you
[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you
We will never say good-bye
Can't stop this feelin'
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything
When I look at you
Beautiful lyrics. Simple and yet it hit direct to the point. In fact,
that’s all you ever need to relay to your darling. The eyes are the smallest
organ but yet transmit several feelings through it. It is also the most
attractive part which in other classic tales of the Arabian Nights, had
enchanted princes and princesses alike.
It’s as simple to tell your loved one that you know every thing and they
have got your back no matter how. Sometimes in life, it makes a lot of
difference
