Hey now! I might not ever get to the new school stuff! How did I forget Atomic Dog?! The Ques in the family wouldn't have let the night end without it though! My wedding party is coming in off If This World Were Mine for the ceremony. And Pam I couldn't remember the words for "I want to Thank you Heavenly Father" for the life of me - kept humming the melody trying! And soon2bmsj, you are dead on with the Patti!
Anyone know the name of of the reggae track with DMX?
Girl how could you forget the Words!!! That was the jam. I used to always say if someone changed the arrangement, it would make a nice wedding song. Here are the words:
I want to thank you
Heavenly Father for shining your light on me
You sent me someone who really loves me
and not just my body
he keeps me happy so very happy
he loves me
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me
I owe my thanks to Thee
I know it could not happen without your love
Ooh without your love
It took a long time for it to happen
but I knew those nights I prayed
that you would send me someone who's real
and not someone for play
I kept the faith
and I didn't worry
my nights grew longer than the days
until one day
it really happened
You sent true love my way
I know it could'nt have happened without you
ooh without you
When the time is right
He'll fill your life with love and care
believe
and He'll be there
just do all right
don't do no wrong
and the keep the faith
for love will shine his light your way
Thank you Father
for shining your light on me
I prayed long time
for it to happen
I did because I believe
He makes me happy
so very happy
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time
since I had someone who love me
I owe my thanks to Thee
I know it could'nt have happened without you
ooh without you
I know it could'nt have happened without your love
ooh without your love
(my nights were long and blue, until he sent me you)

I am not all that into much of the new school stuff, i am young with an older soul. :-)
speaking of Old School Music... Ladies I thought I was in the 80's this morning. On my way dropping the kids off to school, there was a guy behind me that, if I didnt know any better, I would have said that was Kool Moe Dee. LMAO. Girls, he had the sunglasses and the same leather hat. I just couldnt believe it! he was driving an older Buick though. :-)
