1. Brown-Eyed Girl (Van Morrison) - Borrowed this one from one of the other participants...it fits me....well...the title fits me.  I'm not so sure about the rest of the lyrics...LOL!
2. Everyday People (Nicole C Mullen)
       "I am no better and neither are you
       We're all the same whatever we do
       You love me you hate me
       You know me and then
       You can't figure out the bag I'm in
       I am everyday people"
3. It's Your Love (Tim McGraw) - about the guy I married....=)
      "And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
       Oh, it's your love"
4. Life Is A Highway (Rascal Flatts) - I LOVE traveling...
       "If you're going my way
       I wanna drive it all night long"
5. Dream of Mirrors (Iron Maiden) - I have weird weird dreams....
      "Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
       Am I still inside my dream? is this a new reality
       Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind"
6. A Living Prayer (Alison Krauss) - well, it pretty much says it all
       "In these trials of life I find
       Another Voice inside my mind
       He comforts me and bids me live
       Inside the love the Father gives"
7. How's The World Treating You (Alison Krauss)
8. Come Away With Me (Norah Jones) - Okay this one not so much for the lyrics but for the feeling of springtime and sunshine that it brings when I hear it...and for this part of it....
      "I want to walk with you
       On a cloudy day
       In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
       So won't you try to come"
9. I Love My Lips (Veggie Tales) - this is rather two fold...first because the veggie tales is the music of choice by all the family members who are under 4ft tall, so I hear A LOT of this stuff....and second of all because I relate to Oscar in this part of the song -- as in, when I was a kid I was stung by a bee...right on the lip.  Except I don't speak polish.  LOL.
      "Ten days after I turned 8,
       Got my lips stuck in a gate
       My friends all laughed...
       And I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the  
       lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab  
       with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee right on the lip and
       we couldn't even talk to each other until the fifth week because both
       our lips were so swollen and when he did start speaking he just spoke  
       polish and I only knew like three words in polish except now I know four
       because Oscar taught me the word for lip, 'Usta'."
10. Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) (Chris Tomlin) - And this sums up my life rather well, I think...the good and the terrible...
        "My chains are gone, I've been set free
        My God, my Savior has ransomed me
        And like a flood His mercy rains
        Unending love, Amazing grace"
