Ilegirl’s post Love and all that crazy madness reminded me of this song, one of my favourites and as she says it is a feel good happy song and so I share it with you – hope it brings a smile to your face this big -> 😀
It’s never too late to start the day like a brand new one, don’t be scared to get ice-cream on your chin… it’s fun and looks funny!
How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear
That you’d never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
Love is pain I hear you say
Love is a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet?
But that same old smile you’ve been thinking of all day?
Why don’t we turn the clock to zero honey?
I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money
We’re starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she’ll take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero sister
You’ll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we’ll swim across
We’re starting up a brand new day
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There is simply no immunity
There’s no guarantee
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
You need some time for reflection
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Turn the clock to zero honey
I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money
We’re starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero Mac
I’m begging her to take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we’ll swim across
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don’t wanna be no fuddy duddy
We’re Starting up a brand new day
I’m the rhythm in your tune
I’m the sun and you’re the moon
I’m the bat and you’re the cave
You’re the beach and I’m the wave
I’m the plough and you’re the land
You’re the glove and I’m the hand
I’m the train and you’re the station
I’m the flagpole to your nation
I’m the present to your future
You’re the wound and I’m the suture
You’re the magnet to my pole
I’m the devil in your soul
You’re the pupil I’m the teacher
You’re the church and I’m the preacher
You’re the flower I’m the rain
You’re the tunnel I’m the train
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
We’re starting up a brand new day
You’re the crop to my rotation
You’re the sum of my equation
I’m the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We could turn this ship around
And go up instead of down
You’re the pan and I’m the handle
You’re the flame and I’m the candle
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

WHen my love and I reconciled last year, it was amazing how many “friends” discouraged us from trying again to be together. Out of their own fears, I guess. Thing is, every day is a brand new day, and we were willing to give ourselves that chance, a chance for a better life, a new start. What did we have to lose? Nothing, and absolutely everything to gain………

Your story is a message to others to never give up on something you love dearly no matter who or what is said, if it means something to you, nurture it and love it. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! Hugs!

This is such a happy song that gets to the heart of what it is to love someone. And it’s very uplifting too when the day has been difficult, lots of mistakes made, and it feels like you’re all alone in a hostile world. There is always some hope of climbing out of the pit and finding a gem.
