I saw James Blunt on Oprah about a month ago and was listening to this song tonight on the way home..man what a tear jerker..


"Goodbye My Lover"

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

I just bought his CD yesterday and I was listening to it in the car.
It's a great CD.

Oh Minx....he is my absolute favorite....
I tried to get tickets to his concert but
they sold out in a few hours!!!!
I first "fell in love" lol with him when I heard
"You're Beautiful" I have all my gal pals and a few men
hooked on him too......
I saw him on Oprah too and loved Goodbye My Lover too....
He rocks....(even though he is just a baby...lol)

I LOVE that song, makes me cry everytime. I have a live acoustic version on MP3 and it sends shivers down my spine!

It's lovely, but I don't understand it. Are they together? Apart? Sometimes I think too much.....
