Don’t Go Wasting Your Emotions
 |
Oh good lord, I have an obsession. Yes, a very BIG obsession. I had some money sitting in my paypal account and you want to know how I spent it?
Mamma Mia! soundtrack
on iTunes.
I’m already getting the movie for Christmas from Josh. I saw it with Julie, and tomorrow, I’ll be making her a copy of the soundtrack to stick in her bag. Yeah, she’ll read this, XD, but that’s not part of the gift, so she can be “unsurprised” on that, 
I have a new favorite song, though. Eh, lots of them, but two currents: Slipping Through My Fingers and Lay All Your Love On Me. We’ll ignore Dancing Queen, as that’s a given, 
Slipping Through My Fingers
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that Im losing her forever
And without really entering her world
Im glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when shes gone theres that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I cant deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didnt
And why I just dont know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers…
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile…
Lay All Your Love On Me
I wasnt jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And Im possessive, it isnt nice
Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isnt true
Now everything is new
And all Ive learned has overturned
I beg of you……
Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still dont know what youve done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I dont have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear……
Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Dont go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Ive had a few little love affairs
They didnt last very long and theyve been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all Ive learned has overturned
What can I do……
Dont go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Dont go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
