Arabian Nights

 I had a dream of you dancing across the sand
You were with him and you were holding his hand
He was pretending he was your Arabian Knight
He stopped to hold his Arabian Princess in his arms so tight
All I could do was stand and watch and wish that it was me
In my dream it was so clear and easy to see
You were truly over me
It was an Arabian Night
The pyramids were in sight
And all I wanted was to be the one who was holding you tight
You were on a horse; your hair was glistening in the sun
I could tell by the look on your face that you were having fun
I saw the look in your eyes and I was hoping to see
That you were still missing me
But to my disgust I couldn’t find a single trace
All I could see was the look of love on your face
It was so easy to see
You were truly over me
I followed you back to your hotel room
And as you stood on the balcony with him I caught the scent of your perfume
It was an Arabian night
And the pyramids were in sight
And I was wishing I was still the one who was holding you tight
He was pretending he was your Arabian Knight
And he stopped to hold his Arabian Princess so tight
It was an Arabian night
And the pyramids were in sight
And he was the one who was holding you tight

Picked this one out to post because of Kevy!!  Don't think she doesn't have the right to say she is still hurting.
Don’t was written after listening to Don’t.  I was thinking about how hurt and angry Shania must feel as the life and love she created with this man was destroyed or lost depending on which story is true.  Enjoy!!Don’t 

I can see it in your eyes; I can feel it in your kiss
How did we let it come to this
Don’t tell me that it was somethin’ you just couldn’t resist
Don’t tell me you didn’t know
How it all would end, how this all would go
Don’t say you couldn’t see 
What this would do to you and me
Don’t say is this how it has to be
I know this is no way to live
But this is the one mistake I just can’t forgive
Don’t come to me down on your knees
Beggin’ for one more try
Don’t tell me I have no right to think it’s just another lie
Don’t tell me how to feel
My heart’s not made of steel
I can’t let you come back in
I won’t risk you breakin’ it again
Don’t tell me all the things that should have been
Don’t tell me another lie by sayin’ that it’s done
You promised that I’d be the only one
We both know it’s all your fault
You never imagined you’d get caught
Don’t tell me that I’ll ever again learn to trust
Just walk away and leave my heart shattered here in the dust
I know what I have to do and now matter how much it hurts I know I must
Don’t you remember when you promised to be mine
For the rest of time
Don’t tell me how to feel
Don’t tell me this is real
You hurt me way to deep
With the promises you didn’t keep
Don’t try and tell me what we had isn’t gone
You know this can’t go on
Don’t come to me down on your knees
Beggin’ for one more try
Don’t tell me I have no right to think it’s just another lie
Just don’t

Warmest regards as always,
Tonto
                                               

The Ride 

She rides an Arabian Stallion across the desert sand
She closes her eyes and tries so hard to understand
And d she lets go of the reins
She feels the blood racing through her veins
And as she and the horse become part of each other
She can’t help but wonder how they ever lost one another
She can feel the wind in her face
As the horse somehow fills her heart’s empty space
And the world seems to fade away
And she loves that there are no words she has to say
The communication between her and the horse
It is soft and unspoken with no predetermined course
Unlike the soul mate that she lost that seems to have no remorse
And as she tries so hard to concentrate on the ride
She can feel the pain welling up so deep inside
As she spurs her stallion on he senses the urgency of her need
And he opens his soul and he pours on the speed
She’s ridin’ with the wind tryin’ to outrun the pain and the tears
Tryin’ to outrun the heartache that’s been building for years
Deep within her soul she’s let of all the ties
As the wind rushes by it whispers no lies
As she streaks across the sand she’s never felt so free
At one with the horse is how she was meant to be
With the wind in her hair
She seems to outrun all her cares
And she’s tryin’ to outrun the pain and the tears
Tryin’ to outrun the heartache that’s been building for years
As she streaks across the sand she knows her shattered heart soon will be made whole
By the Arabian Stallion as he becomes a part of her soul

 Warmest regards as always,Tonto

  I did a lot of thinking about Shania's birthday.   I mean what do you get the woman who has everything or can afford to get herself anything she wants. It’s a tough one.  After a lot of soul searching all I could come up with is this.  She writes such beautiful songs for us filled with such emotion and sentiment that I figured maybe someone should write something especially for her for a change so I did.  What better gift than a true heartfelt sentiment or emotion. A gift that will hopefully make her feel special on this truly special day.   Happy Birthday.  I hope it is truly everything she wants it to be and more.  Here is my gift especially written for her.  I hope you like it.  Enjoy!!

I Would Go That Far

My head is telling me I should take this chance and just walk away

But my heart is telling me that I should take a chance and stay

There's a battle goin' on

Too afraid to risk my heart but I don't want to be alone

I dial your number hopin' you'll forgive me and pick up the phone

Am I gettin' through or has your heart turned to stone

Tryin' so hard to fight this fear

I really wish that you could hear

All the things my heart should have said

I should have let my heart rule my head

And I know it's hard for you to understand why I have all these fears

But I've been hiding my heart for so many years

It's been wounded so many times, it just needed time to heal

But I'm just so afraid to tell you how I feel

If you would just listen you would hear my heart say

Without your love I just can't go another day

I would swim across every ocean so deep

And I'll be there every night to kiss you before you go to sleep

I would crawl across the desert through the burning sand

All this I would do just for the touch of your hand

I would fly up to heaven on the wings of an angel and bring you back a star

Yes that's how much I love you, I would go that far

And though my head is telling me I should take this chance and walk away

I wish you could hear my heart 'cause these are the words that it would say

I would swim across every ocean so deep

And I'll be there every night to kiss you before you go to sleep

I would crawl across the desert through the burning sand

All this I would do just for the touch of your hand

I would fly up to heaven on the wings of an angel and bring you back a star

Yes that's how much I love you, I would go that far

Yes I would fly up to heaven on the wings of an angel and bring you back a star

Yes that's how much I love you, I would go that far

Warmest regards as always,

Tonto

Hi , Here's another one to read.   Enjoy!!

Love You All Around This World 

Let me take you to Spain
We’ll go dancin’ in the rain
Let’s go to Paris
I’ll kiss you out on the terrace
What a beautiful sight
I’ll be holding you tight
There in the city of lights
Let’s go to Rome
Doesn’t matter where we are, with you my heart’s found a home
I’ll love you all around this world
Come on let’s give it a whirl
I’m so in love with you girl
I wanna love you all around this world
Let’s go to Florida and jump from a plane
Let them call us insane
From the top of a mountain to the bottom of the sea
Right by your side is where I want to be
Alone in Dubai
I want to see the moon and the stars in your eyes
Let’s go to Egypt We can ride horses and ATV’s
It doesn’t matter as long as you’re with me
In a desert full of sand
I’ll be holding your hand
Let’s fly to London and see the Queen
I’ll show you love like you’ve never seen
We can dance with dolphins, ride camels through the sand, ride horses
On every beach
No place is too far as long as you are within my reach
High in the mountains all covered in snow
I’ll follow you wherever you go
I’ll love you all around this world
Come on let’s give it a whirl
I’m so in love with you girl
Let me take you to Spain
We’ll go dancin’ in the rain
Let’s go to Rome
Doesn’t matter where we are, with you my heart’s found a home
I’ll love you all around this world
Come on let’s give it a whirl
I’ll promise I’ll love you all around this world

Love You All Around This World was written after watching the video gift that Shania gave us. I was thinking about how Fredric must be feeling. I was also thinking of all the incredible adventures they have shared with each other.  I was thinking about the two of them loving each other in all these different places.

 Hi, Another one to read while we to through Shania withdrawals yet again.     

She Took Her Heartache On Vacation was written after reading a post by someone on a message board.  He was responding to my post and he mentioned Shania  having a good time and vacationing her heartache away.  It stuck in my brain and I wrote this. I hope you like it.  Enjoy!!  Thanks to Barebackwarrior and Shania for the inspiration for this one.

       She Took Her Heartache On Vacation 

She took her heartache on vacation
Eight different countries and 5 different nations
She took it to see all the wonderous and beautiful sights
Tryin’ to leave behind all the lonely tear filled nights
She took it to the ancient ruins of Rome
And saw the love carved in each and every stone
She romance her way through the city of lights
With someone new to hold her tight
Hopin’ he couldn’t tell that somethin’ just wasn’t right
The view from the palm in Dubai
Mesmerized and left a tear in her eye
And her poor heart let out a wistful sigh
A picnic for two all alone in the snow
She was determined not to let it show
And riding along the Red Sea
Is just not where she wanted to be
And way down in Spain
The rain hid her tears of pain
And she took her heartache on vacation
Eight different countries and 5 different nations
She took it to see all the wonderous and beautiful sights
Tryin’ to leave behind all the lonely tear filled nights
And down in Barcelona dancin’ with the dolphins in the sun
She convinced herself she’d finally found the one
But in the back of her mind
The and doubt is still there she’ll find
Walkin’ in Lebanon along the bullet riddled streets of a war zone
She sighs to herself as she thinks about how she’s survivin’ through her own
And this vacation is just a way to put it all on pause
She knows that she was fightin’ for a lost cause
They were both so unhappy in the end
And they’re no longer lovers and they just can’t be friends
And she took her heartache on vacation
 Eight different countries and 5 different nations
She took it to see all the wonderous and beautiful sights
Tryin’ to leave behind all the lonely tear filled nights
In Vienna in a castle with its towers so tall
She thought she heard his voice echoing down the halls
She fought back the tears and didn’t let them fall
She wondered if it was worth it at all
She took her heartache on vacation
Hoping to leave it in some exotic, unknown destination
She’s in such a restless and unsettled situation
She took her heartache on vacation
In London on a bicycle trip for two
She still wondered how she would get through
She was really feelin’ blue
She took her heartache on vacation
Hoping to leave it in some exotic, unknown destination
She took her heartache on vacation
In New York among the toys
It was so hard to find the joy
Did her best to hide it all from her little boy
She took her heartache on vacation
Eight different countries and 5 different nations
She took it to see all the wonderous and beautiful sights
Tryin’ to leave behind all the lonely tear filled nights
She took her heartache on vacation
Hoping to leave it in some exotic, unknown destination
She took her heartache on vacation

Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

Hi here's another one to read.  Enjoy!!!    

      Barely Hangin’ By A Thread

I saw her just the other day

I didn’t know exactly what to say

She was drinkin’ hot chocolate and eatin’ French fries

The hurt still looked so fresh in her eyes

She was alone watchin’ the people come and go

She was hopin’ that it didn’t show

She was tryin’ so hard to hide it from me

Hopin’ that I couldn’t see

She’s barely hangin’ by a thread

She can’t forget the things he did and said

They keep runnin’ through her head

And though there’s someone new sleepin’ in her bed

Inside she still feels like she’s dead

She’s barely hangin’ by a thread

And her pain runs deeper thant the deepest ocean

But for so long she’s just been going through the motions

She wants so bad for someone to see

That this is not how she’s supposed to be

She wants to do more than just survive

Waiting for the one with the love to make her soul come alive

She’s barely hangin’ by a thread

She can’t forget the things he did and said

And though there’s someone new sleepin’ in her bed

Inside she still feels like she’s dead

She’s barely hangin’ by a thread

And she’s sittin’ all alone and watchin’ the people come andgo

Hopin’ that no one else will know

That she’s havin’ trouble lettin’ him go

And although she’s sleepin’ with somebody new

She’s hopin’ and prayin’ he doesn’t see it too

And her heart is full of dread

‘Cause she knows she’s still just barely hangin’ by a thread

She just can’t forget the things he did and said

They just keep runnin’ through her head

And though there’s someone new sleepin’ in her bed

Inside she still feels like she’s dead

And she’s still barely hangin’ by a thread

And she’s tryin’ so hard to force herself to feel

A lot more fake than real

For by now her emotions are so easy to hide and so hard to reveal

And her heart is full of dread

‘Cause she knows she’s still just barely hangin’ by a thread

She just can’t forget the things he did and said

They just keep runnin’ through her head

And though there’s someone new sleepin’ in her bed

Inside she still feels like she’s dead

And she’s still barely hangin’ by a thread

Barely Hangin’ By a Thread was written after thinking about how hard it must be to let  go of so many emotions and memories and move on after so many years together.  I am sure at times Shania felt she was barely hangin’ by a thread emotionally.

 Hi here's another one for you to read. Enoy!!

Desert Sand

I wanna see you dancing across the desert sands
I wanna feel the warmth of your body right here in my hands
As we listen to the chitarra play
We’ll watch the palm trees sway
I’ll hold you in my arms as we dance across the sand
We don’t need music or even a band
Listen as I whisper the words to our song in your ear
Just close your eyes and let the rest of the world disappear
As the palm trees sway in the breeze
I can feel your love and it makes me weak in the knees
And as your body melts in into mine
We just lose all track of time
And as the sun gives way to the moon
I’m so intoxicated by the scent of your perfume
I’ve fallen so deep in love
Even with you right in my arms you’re still not close enough
With the stars twinkling in your eyes
There’s no way for us to disguise
The love that we feel
What we’ve found is so real
As I hold you in my arms so tight
This is a most special night
Though the words don’t come out right
I know you will understand
As we dance together across the desert sand
There are no words to say
You’re the only one who makes me feel this way
So just take my hand
We’ll dance across the desert sand
And as your body melts into mine
We’ll just lose all track of time
And I know that you will understand
As we dance across the desert sand

Desert Sand was inspired by the pictures of Shania and Fredric in Egypt.  I was also thinking about the video The Woman in Me since it had a Egyptian theme. I was thinking about how it would feel to be in love and be in Egypt. 

  She's Just Another Pretty Lie 

Every head turns every time that she walks in
As I watch I hold my breath as I think "Oh no here she goes again"
She's done her hair, her makeup and her tan
And by the look on their face every guy in this place
Thinks he has what it takes to be her man
But there are so many things that they don't really know
So many things that from the outside just don't ever show
She used to married and for so many years it was great
But now her once pretty heart is full of hurt and hate
It hasn't been long enough she really needs to wait
The pain is too fresh and she's too numb to feel
She needs to give her poor heart more time to heal
But she just needs someone to help her make it through the night
'Cause she's still missin' his arms holdin' her so tight
They all think that they can be the one to help her let him go
The sad thing is they just don't know
She's got that hurtin' look in her eye
And tonight she's just another pretty lie
She'll make him think that he's the one who's gonna change her world
She'll let him believe that she's his girl
But when the night is through
He'll just be one more that she told her pretty lie to
She's just another pretty lie
Tonight she'll go home alone and cry
And she just can't understand why
He had to break her heart and let their love die
So he's the reason she's just another pretty lie
He's the reason she's still afraid to give love a try
Don't get me wrong, she'll take your breath away
With the way she looks and the pretty lies she'll say
With all her heart she'll make you believe every word
She's gotten good at tellin' the prettiest lies you've ever heard
So take this advice from someone who knows
In her heart she'll never let him go
And if you look deep into her eyes
You will realize
She just full of pretty lies
You can still see the hurt and anger in her eyes
She's learned from the best how to tell those pretty lies
Yeah she's just another pretty lie
Tonight she'll go home alone and cry
She's still tryin' to understand just why
He had to break her heart and let their love die
So he's the reason she's just another pretty lie
He's the reason she won't give love another try
And in her heart she always wonder why
He had to be the one to turn her into just another pretty lie 

She’s Just Another Pretty Lie was written after listening to She's Not Just A Pretty Face.  And after reading about Shania being in Dubai with Fredric and having on minimal makeup and thinking about how women hide what they really look like with makeup. Amazing how people can pretend or appear to be happy on the outside while they are really dying on the inside.  Got me to thinking and I wrote this one.

You Can’t Run From Love 

How many days
How many miles
And many ways
Do you need between us before you realize
You can’t run from love
How many minutes that turn into hours
How many hearts and how many flowers
Do you need between us before you realize
You can’t run from love
How many lonely nights
How many senseless fights
Have to come between us
Before you realize
You can’t from love
How many mountains and how many oceans
How many thoughts and how many notions
Have to come between us
Before you realize
You can’t run from love
How many times do you have to try and say goodbye
And how many tears do we both have to cry
Before you realize
You can’t run from love
No you can’t run and you can’t hide
Sooner or later it’ll get you deep down inside
Sooner or later you can’t get enough
You just can’t run from love
How many sad songs
And how many I’m right and your wrongs
Have to come between us
Before you realize
You can’t run from love
No you can’t run and you can’t hide
Sooner or later it’ll get you deep down inside
Sooner or later you can’t get enough
You just can’t run from love
No you can’t run from love
 

You Can’t Run From Love was written after discussing in e-mails with another fan about how maybe Shania and Fredric had always loved each other and just never acted on it out of respect for their marriages and then after the divorce she knew that they couldn’t just be together as people would think that her relationship with Fredric was what destroyed her marriage so she tried to walk away from it but couldn’t do it.  Her heart was already set on him.

Hi just another one to read while we wait for a new letter from Shania.  I hope you like it.  Enjoy!

          Would Have Loved You Anyway 

Even if I had known how it all would turn out
I would have loved you anyway without a doubt
Would have been like tryin’ to stop a runaway train
Would have loved you anyway though everything I did was in vain
Would have loved you anyway couldn’t stop my heart
Would have loved you anyway even if I’d known it would all fall apart
Would have been like tryin’ to hold back the tide
I couldn’t have hid the way I felt deep inside
I would’ve loved you anyway
Though I knew you wouldn’t stay
Though I knew all the angry words we would say
Would’ve been like tryin’ to stop a hurricane
Though losing you is driving me insane
I would’ve loved you anyway
Would’ve been like tryin’ to stop the night from turnin’ into day
Would’ve been like tryin’ to stop a tidal wave
Now it’s your kisses that I crave
I would’ve loved you anyway
Even if I knew that you wouldn’t stay
I would’ve loved you anyway though I knew how it all would turn out
I would’ve loved you anyway without a doubt
I would’ve loved you anyway

      Would Have Loved You Anyway was written as I thought about how much you and Mutt had accomplished together as a team and how I know you would feel this way as Eja was the best result of this team and marriage. 

Warmest regards as always,Tonto

Hi Here's another Shania inspired one to read.  Enjoy!!!

Another Night

Just the other day I was walking down the street
And I thought I saw you go into our old favorite place
I couldn’t help it but a smile crept upon my face
As I opened the door and I walked in
Hopin’ to see your pretty face again
I sat down at our old table to wait
I was hopin’ you’d see me and ask how I was so I could lie and say
I was doin’ great
It took a while for me to realize
She wasn’t you but she had your hair and your eyes
So I got up to leave
Still tryin’ to convince myself to believe
That like me you were still not over me
‘Cause I just can’t face another night
Without your arms to hold me tight
And I just can’t face another day
Until I hear you say
That you still love me to
‘Cause I just can’t face another day not knowing what I’m gonna do
Or how I’m gonna face another long lonely night without loving you
Oh why can’t you see
I just can’t face another night without you lovin’ me
Oh why does this have to be
No matter how hard I try I just can’t break free
Of your sweet lovin’ memory
At night I see you in my dreams and I wake up to no you
And I wonder how I’ll get through
Another day not lovin’ you
‘Cause I just can’t face another night
Without your arms to hold me tight
Oh why can’t I move on and let it be
Oh why can’t I just break free
How can I face another night without you lovin’ me
Oh why can’t I break free
Of your sweet, lovin’ memory
How can I face another night without you lovin’ me

Another Night was written after listening to Leavin’ is the Only Way Out.  “Don’t wanna wake up to one more night that won’t end.” It kept repeating in my mind.  Started thinking about Shania having to face another sleepless night without the one you love and longing for them to still be there. You rolling over to touch him and only finding an empty space.  Thinking about how long and endless the night would seem.

Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

  Hi just thought I'd post something to read during this slow Shania time.  
Enjoy!!


            A Day Without Your Smile 

A day without your smile is like a year without the sun
And it feels like my whole world is coming undone
And I just can’t seem to love anyone
And when a day without you is here
I just can’t hold back my fear
All I need is to have you near
Only you know the words I need to hear
When you’re not around I miss all the sweet little things you say and do
Without you here I feel so blue
And a day without your smile is like a day without the sun
And I feel like my whole world is coming undone
And no one else can bring me comfort you’re the only one
And I know I need you like the flowers need the sun
And when we’re apart
I get this feelin’ deep inside my heart
And my heart starts breakin’
And my soul starts achin’
And the pain is more than I can take
And these feelings for you are somethin’ I just can’t fake
I know that I should never let my feelings show
But please just promise me that you’ll never go
And your smile is just like gettin’ a great big hug
And the sound of your laughter affects me like some kind of crazy drug
A day without your smile is like a year without the sun
And it feels like my whole world is coming undone
And I just can’t seem to love anyone
And I need your sweet smile like the flowers need the rain
Without you I know that I would go insane
And a day without your smile is like a year without the sun
And it feels like my whole world is coming undone
A day without your smile is like a year without the sun 

A Day Without Your Smile was written after listening to Whatever You do Don’t.  I was thinking about how it feels when you are first falling in love and how you want to be around that person all the time and going a day without them seems like an eternity.  Maybe you were feeling this way about Fredric when you first realized you both wanted more than friendship. 

 Warmest regards as always,

             Are You Still Lovin’ Her

I wanna remember us the way we were

I wanna think of you without seeing her

Everything happened so fast it’s still just a blur

I can’t help but wonder, are you still lovin’ her

I keep telling myself you’re the one who made the mistake

But that doesn’t help when I feel like I’m the only one going through the heartache

When I close my eyes her face is all I see

So why is it that I still want you here with me

I don’t know how it all went wrong

When I thought we were so strong

How can you still be lovin’ her

Why can’t I wish things back to the way we were

If things happened so fast it’s such a blur

Then when I close my eyes do I still see you lovin’ her

When I look back at our past, was it really all that bad

Why am I the one feel like I’ve been had

And at night I just can’t sleep

Because of this pain that still runs so deep

And I wish that it was all such a blur

That I couldn’t see that you’re still lovin’ her

And sometimes when I think you’ve finally let go of my heart

I see the memories of you and that’s when it starts

I’m wishin’ we could go back to the way we were

Before you started lovin’her

And I remember us the way we were

I wanna think of you without seeing her

Everything happened so fast it’s all just a blur

And I wonder why you were lovin’ her

I wanna remember us the way we were

And I wonder why you were ever lovin’ her

Are You Still Lovin’ Her was written after listening to When He Leaves You.  I was thinking about how upset you must be and how conflicted you probably were about wanting to just walk away and wanting everything to be the way it was before it all went wrong.

Warmest regards as always,
Tonto

              Don’t Want Goodbye To Come 

Don’t want goodbye to come
Don’t want the tears to flow
Don’t want my heart to know that goodbye is on its way
‘Cause we just grow closer and love each other more everyday
Love is a chance you take
Throw caution to the wind
Will your heart break
When goodbye comes can you handle what happens when it ends
Will we hate each other or can we be friends
But I don’t want goodbye to come
Where are all these feelin’s  comin’ from
Oh how I wish that I could stop the hands of time
So that you could always and forever be mine
I know that goodbye will come to soon
For me you’re the one who hung the stars and the moon
So I don’t want goodbye to ever come
I can see it in your eyes
You don’t want to say goodbye
Take me into your heart
Where we’ll never be apart
And goodbye will never come
Let t always be somethin’ we keep runnin’ from
Don’t let goodbye ever come
Don’t want to hear you say goodbye
Don’t want you to see the tears I’ll cry
Don’t want these feelings to ever die
Just let it be somethin’ we’re always runnin’ from
Don’t want goodbye to ever come

 Don’t Want Goodbye to Come Was written after listening to Don’t by Shania Twain and thinking about how I don’t want to have to say goodbye to my new best friend.  I know this will be the hardest goodbye ever for me.  She has stolen my heart. We laugh and play together all day and she makes work not seem like work.  She is the one person that makes it all worth the effort.

Warmest regards as always,
Tonto
