day one {favorite song}

to be honest, i don't have one, all-time, most favorite, will love this song until i die song.  i LOVE music.  i love all types of music.  i love music for different reasons and moods.  i don't think i could even narrow it down to only one song so i'm going to tell you two of my favorite songs.  two songs that i will love until i die.  two songs that have great meaning to me.  i mean, i think it's a two-for-one deal here folks.

okay this first song is one absolute favorite songs.  van morrison.  i love van morrison.  i love almost all of his songs but one holds a special place in my heart.

Into the Mystic
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...

this was actually my first dance as mrs. hale.  so, this song went from a favorite to one that i'll remember always.  even reading the lyrics put me in a good mood.  i think i'll have to listen to this on my way home from work.  can sing real loud in the car.  heaven.

my next favorite song has really become a favorite since i've become a mother.  i sing it to james and i've used it to form some nicknames for him as well.

You are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

now, i know this is only the chorus of the song but i still love it.  james p. sunshine loves it too.  the thing is - he is my sunshine.  he makes my days bright.  he'll never know how much i love him - until he has a child of his own someday.

there are my two favorite songs.  i cheated on the first day of the blog challenge. oops.  maybe i'm just a rule breaker at heart.
