A  Gift On Our Second Anniversary


Is it a possible sensation
To be at a train station
And not know where you came from
All these people carrying some 
Suitcases in their heads

Do they even know what's inside
Can we really run or hide
From where we've never been
Or even knowing when
The time they arrived

If this is so
Then why do I  feel so low
If we didn't care would we 
Even begin to notice, to see
We are all a part of something

Can we be from some other place
Does it have to be a race
Sure, once in a while be hurried
Don't spend it all so worried
I can feel a connection

Even if you don't have a past
Or one that didn't outlast
Where you are today
We aren't ever apart this way
Find it, look there it is

A  family isn't where you were
Being with another, right where you are
This is our togetherness
Feeling with someone is the bliss
Right here in this train station

By Gary Hodges for my wife Nancy Ramsey-Hodges


This song was chosen because after we were married, I kept hearing it on the radio...and thought this is what I really want to say to Nancy.

"You Sang To Me"

by Mark Anthony

i just wanted you to comfort me
when I called you late last night you see
i was fallin' into love
oh yes, i was crashin' into love
oh of all the words you sang to me
about life, the truth and bein' free yea
you sang to me, oh how you sang to me
girl i live off how you make me feel
so i question all this bein' real
cuz i'm not afraid to love
for the first time i'm not afraid of love
oh, this day seems made for you and me
and you showed me what life needs to be
yea you sang to me, oh you sang to me
all the while you were in front of me i never realized
i jus' can't believe i didn't see it in your eyes
i didn't see it, i can't believe it
oh but i feel it
when you sing to me
how i long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
and i promise you this time i'll see it in your eyes
i didn't see it, i can't believe it
oh but i feel it
when you sing to me
just to think you live inside of me
i had no idea how this could be
now i'm crazy for your love
can't believe i'm crazy for your love
the words you said you sang to me
and you showed me where i wanna be
yea you sang to me, oh you sang to me
