    The Best That You Can Do Is Fall In Love

    November 1, 2010

    Confused, tired and hurt. The best that I can do now is fall in love.

    Christopher Cross – Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)

    Once in your life you find her
    Someone that turns your heart around
    And next thing you know you’re closing down the town
    Wake up and it’s still with you
    Even though you left her way across town
    Wondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I found?”

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do ……
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    Arthur he does as he pleases
    All of his life, he’s mastered choice
    Deep in his heart, he’s just, he’s just a boy
    Living his life one day at a time
    And showing himself a really good time
    Laughing about the way they want him to be

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do …..
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
    If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
    The best that you can do …..
    The best that you can do is fall in love

    The tavern was getting more and more rowdy as more and more ale was consumed. A few scuffles had even broke out.

    He was getting irritated. All he wanted was just to drink the night away. But the noise level was getting too high, way higher than he could tolerate.

    Getting Old

    October 30, 2010

    It was the time when everyone rushed home from work. The train was packed. I waited patiently for the passengers to alight before entering.

    A burly guy also entered the train at the same time as me, trying to barge me aside. However due to my weight, he did not succeed. His eyes widened, and perhaps embarrassed, he lifted up his land and tried to elbow me.

    Fortunately for me, I had stopped to let him enter first, and the elbow missed its mark. Discovering that he missed, he decided to try one more time, swinging his heavy laptop bag around, hoping the bag will hit me. By this time, I had given him ample room after realising what he was trying to do, and again the bag missed its mark.

    It was not possible to make any more attempts as the people behind entered the train, and he was surrounded by other passengers. As the train moved off, I looked at him and smiled, amused at his behaviour. He refused to look at me, preferring to stare at the neck of the passenger standing in front of him.

    It was then that I realised I must be really getting old. The younger fiery version of me would have retaliated, most probably by stepping on his foot and pushing him aside. Instead, the current me is actually smiling at his actions.

    Dream

    October 28, 2010

    He knew he was in a dream. They were together, and even though he was soundly asleep, he knew that was impossible.

    They talked about things which he could not remember once the words left his mouth, and they were in some place he did not know where.

    It does not matter.

    The only thing that matter was they were both holding hands, laughing and he was happy.

    When he woke up, he knew that while it was only a dream, the happiness was real.

    He had his answer.

    Sparks Fly

    October 27, 2010

    This song somehow just…. seems to connect.

    The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
    And I’m a house of cards
    You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running
    But I kinda know that I won’t get far

    And you stood there in front of me
    Just close enough to touch
    Close enough to hope you couldn’t see
    What I was thinking of

    Drop everything now
    Meet me in the pouring rain
    Kiss me on the sidewalk
    Take away the pain
    Cause’ I see sparks fly whenever you smile

    Get me with those green eyes, baby
    As the lights go down
    Give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
    Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

    My mind forgets to remind me you’re a bad idea
    You touch me once and it’s really something
    You find I’m even better than you imagined I would be
    I’m on my guard for the rest of the world
    But with you I know it’s no good
    And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would

    Drop everything now
    Meet me in the pouring rain
    Kiss me on the sidewalk
    Take away the pain
    Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

    Get me with those green eyes, baby
    As the lights go down
    Give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
    Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

    I run my fingers through your hair
    And watch the lights go wild
    Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
    It’s just strong enough to make it feel right
    And lead me up the staircase
    Won’t you whisper soft and slow
    I’m captivated by you baby
    Like a fireworks show

    Drop everything now
    Meet me in the pouring rain
    Kiss me on the sidewalk
    Take away the pain
    Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

    Get me with those green eyes, baby
    As the lights go down
    Give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
    Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
