Music by the Moon

by Sandra Holder
 

If I could hold you close

When the dark abides,

And your eyes behold

At the break of light,

I'd write music by the moon

And songs by the sun,

And their melody and tune

Would ring you're the one.

Anywhere for You


Backstreet Boys

I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to

I'd walk halfway around the world
For just one kiss from you
Far beyond the call of love
The sun, the stars, the moon
As long as your love's there to lead me
I won't lose my way believe me
Even through the darkest night you know

Chorus:
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to
Your love as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
There's one thing for sure
I know it's true
Baby, I'd go anywhere for you

I used to think that dreams were just
For sentimental fools
And I'd never find someone
Who'd give their love so true
But I knew the very minute
Couldn't live my life without you in it
And now I want the whole world
To know

Chorus

Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, oohhh
(x3)

Chorus (x2)

Angel

Aerosmith

I'm alone yeah I don't know
If I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do
Is for you
I want your love
Let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough
I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough,
I've suffered and I've seen the light

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it alright

Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes, it's true
Loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love
I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love
A dog without a bone
What can I do?
I'm sleepin' in this bed alone

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, ba-yay-by

SILY & CILY


Submitted by: Celina Lautzenheiser

After reading about a couple who used "shmily"  around their house to express their love for each other, I wanted something similar to share with my husband.My name is Celina (with the C sounding like an s) and his name is Steven, so I came up with "Sily" (Steven, I loveyou) and "Cily" (Celina, I love you...both pronounced "silly"). 
Throughout our marriage we have used our code of love in many ways... on cards, on the bathroom mirror, with magnets on the refrigerator, in the sand, and when I called our phone company to get our phone number changed I had them use 7459 as the last 4 digits...it's SILY.  Our phone number is on our checks, yet I'm constantly being asked for my phone number and when I point out to them it's already printed on there, the cashier always ask what  "SILY" means and I tell them.
When my husband is standing by my side, he smiles from head to toe, because he is then reminded how much I love him all over again.

HEART SMILES


Submitted by: Leslie Ann Craft

My husband prints out I love you in different ways on 1"x3" slips of paper. For instance in the past, he has written I love you but behind the word love there was a heart or he wrote "I love you with every part of my body but especially my heart" and had a picture of a person on there. Sometimes he would just simply print out a big heart.But he doesn't just hand them to me. He leaves them in places for me to find, sometimes they would be on my pillow, in my car, sticking out of my textbooks, etc. Any time I found them and as I continue to find them a smile can't help but form across my face because I know just how much he loves me.

MESSAGE FROM AN ANGEL


Submitted by: Angel S

One night I cooked spaghetti for supper, and after I put the sauce on top of the spaghetti, I took noodles and spelled I love you on top of the sauce.

 Another one I did was I took little pieces of paper and and spelled out i l-o-v-e- y-o-u , each letter on a separate piece and then I put them on the things in the bathroom that he used each morning to get ready for work. So when he looked in the mirror he found i, when he got his toothbrush he found l, when he got out the toothpaste he found o, when he got out his brush he found v and so on until ha had the whole message. 

SAY IT IN SAND


Submitted by: Lori Salazar

My fiancee is a solider in the Army, Stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado.  As a result of the war in Iraq he was sent to Kuwait on Feb. 13th and remained there until July 4th (yes he came home on our independence day, Amen)  While he was there we never let the distance become an issue.  In one photograph that he had sent me he had written " I love you"  in letters that spanned 9' long and 3 ' wide in the sands of the Kuwait desert while he knelt down on one knee above the writing. (his friend photographed the image).  It is one of my favorite photographs and is blown up and framed inside my apartment. 

HIDDEN MESSAGES REVEALED


Submitted by: Laura

We had a rough spot, and were talking about splitting. So I needed to find a way to let him know that I still loved him. So I gathered some special items up, took them home and arranged them all.When he got home from work, I told him I was sorry for all of the things we had been going through, and that I didn't want it to end and to show him that I had made him a special surprise.
I blindfolded him and led him into the front room. There laying across our entire front room was a huge sign made out of rose petals that said "I'm sorry" (just petals placed that way on the floor) and a trail that started on from there.
The first stop along the trail was the fridge. He opened up the freezer portion and I had cleared everything into the other one so that all that was left was a box. He took it out and inside was a huge ice cream cake heart (his favorite) with red letters that said "I want to spend my life with you".
Then the trail led him to the bathroom, where I had used every single picture I could find of us to make a huge collage that spelled out "I love you" . Here he started crying, he was so surprised! But the trail didnt stop there (and by the way, double sided sticky tape doesn't come off the mirror easy!)
He followed the trail to our bedroom where on the bed he found a huge canvas... one that he had bought me awhile ago to paint a picture for him (I'm an oil painter) and I had never gotten around too.
I painted a huge scenery of mountains and a large waterfall and a large panther. Hidden in the painting are those special 3 words "i love you" hidden in the mountain, the panthers fur, and the water. By now i was crying hard as well.
Afterwards, we were able to sit down and talk things out and we are still together!!! The painting now hangs in our front room over the couch and the pictures have become a rather large scrapbook that sits on out coffee table.

PETAL LOVE POTION


Submitted by Gina Guilfoyle

This is a love potion I make up for my fiancée and myself.  We usually sip this in a bath together, or cuddled up on the couch watching our favourite movie.

1          bottle of sparkling wine (or non alcoholic)
12         fresh strawberries
1  t       strawberry leaves (fresh or dry)
1  t       sugar
1  t       borage leaves and flowers
            a squeeze of lemon juice

Combine the leaves/flowers, strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add one small glass of sparkling wine.  Let mixture infuse for 2 hours.  Then skim leaves from your potion (leaving the strawberries).  Add the concentrated liquid into the remaining sparkling wine.  Pour into a glass.  Add an ice cube if you wish.

Drinking this will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling all over!
Oh, fyi:  you can also use starflower oil in place of flowers and leaves.

Enchanted Apple Spell

Perfect, he (she) and perfect, me
Together we are meant to be.
Venus, Queen of love, so warm
Bring my love to me, without harm.
