tears and driving don't mix

Coming back from a cousin’s place near Hamilton today I was listening to the compilation I made to play before the service at our wedding. I still love every song and I have to share one of them with you. Whenever I listen to My Favourite Book by Canadian band Stars I am struck that it seems to be basically written about Cam and I.

Simultaneously singing, fighting back tears, passing another vehicle and trying to keep a baby awake in the back seat is not ideal. This song just does that to me, it says what my heart thinks. I am so so thankful to be going through life and motherhood with Cameron. I honestly don’t want to boast too much because he is amazing and no other dudes should try and compare themselves to him cos he is so great and I am lucky and undeserving and blessed.

Listen up:

           

 

In the 80’s I loved it if my tape covers had the lyrics on the back, because singing along to every word of a song is one of life’s joys, so just in case, here they are.

Stars, My Favourite Book.

I was always late, you never afraid, that we could be falling
All our friends would say, maybe we should wait, but they can't see what's coming
And to this day, when everything breaks, you are the anchor that holds me

And that is why we'll always make it

How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

When the days are long, and the thunder with the storm, can always get me crying
You can make my bed, I'll fall into it, shattered but not lonely
Because I never knew a home, until I found your hands, and when I'm weathered
You come to me, you're my best friend

And that is why we'll always make it

How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

And when we're making love
I'd give up everything up for your touch

How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive

When you go to work all the day I wait
For you to come home, recount our time, in our little place
