Mr. Wonder, take it away...

it's amazing how some genius can create something at one era and encapsulate so much magic for it to become timeless. How people from one generation to another can appreciate the same emotions brought about by one old-school song not withstanding the changing world around them. If you ask me what's the latest hit playing on the radio right now, most of the time, i probably wouldn't recognize it, let alone sing along with it, but play me some classics and i'd be singing away (with matching sway-sway of the head hehehe). Magic brings about magic, so listening to brilliance in melody sends me to never-neverland. To others it may be Sinatra, some Ray Charles, but for me, Stevie Wonder's my Peter pan. And yesterday, he brought me to that magical place while singing this song...

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oooh Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

For once in my life
Yeah Somebody like my
Ooh baby


{beb, i always felt like i never belonged. I was never alone, but i always felt lonely. But now, everytime your fingers find mine, i know loneliness won't be bothering me anymore. So to you, my boyfriend and my bestfriend, happy anniversary. I am one lucky girl.}
