Send Me An Angel - Song Added

I added a song play list to the blog, so please enjoy the music while reading! You can adjust the volume or pause the music altogether by using the controls on the widget - it is on the right side. The other day, I was listening to the one by Real Life and it made me think of Chianna - my angel. Here are the lyrics:

Do you believe in heaven above?
Do you believe in love?
Don't tell a lie,
Don't be false or untrue,
It all comes back to you

Open fire on my burning heart
I've never been lucky in love
My defenses are down,
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own.

If a girl walks in and carves her name in my heart,
I'll turn and run away
Everyday we've all been led astray,
It's hard to be lucky in love.

It gets in your eyes,
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love,
Calling heaven above...

(Chorus)
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...

Empty dreams can only disappoint,
In a room behind your smile
But don't give up
Don't give up
You can be lucky in love

It gets in your eyes,
It's making you cry
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
You're looking for love,
Calling heaven above...

(Chorus)
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...
Send me an angel,
Send me an angel...
Right now,
Right now...

Researching how to add the music to the blog, I came across another Send Me An Angel song, originally by The Scorpions. I really like the version that I found, it is quite beautiful. I never imagined dedicating a Scorpions song to my daughter, but the lyrics really do apply:

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

FYI, I looked up "land of the morning star" and evidently it is the western half of Papua New Guinea. Not very far from Vietnam????

Sigh...your angel is waiting for you. Hang in there, the day will come and we will all be celebrating with you! How do I know this? Because Kerri told me, and if Kerri says so, then it will happen.
