Just to see you smile....
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
'Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to

it's a beautiful song... albeit a little sad. Given that it made me cry the first time I ever heard it, I have been playing it in repeat mode for quite sometime now.
And the tunes just had to remind me of something else .... (that and a movie I had seen "A Walk to Remember" - strictly a mushy lovey movie which would totally make it in the the top thirties in my favorites list.)...... had to remind me of starry nights and full moons and terraces and just sitting and chatting while the rest of the world slept.
I am definitely not a night person ... so the number of night outs that I have seen are few and far between , and rarely ever for studying or work ....... no, those that I remember have been on a terrace without walls and pillows tucked against the small mounts, as we lay down on a very uneven granite roof, looked up at a star studded sky and opened our hearts out to the heavens..... from fairy-tales to dreams to life.... there wasn't anything left untouched.... by those who felt like the chosen few to be up and awake at that hour and watching over the rest of the world while it slept. Since this was IST, I am sure we didn't think that there were other worlds alive and starting their work then..... no, that was so far away then .....and so unthinkable.....
Just the blackness which had its own romantic aura about it..... the sounds and shadows of the night just so much amplified because it was dark....
I remember another night, the rest of the group huddled in sleep. A few of us were up all night watching movies ...and then chatting way into the night so that when it finally began to become dusk, sleep had long left our eyes. And I think that was my first full fledged night-out and also the first time a few of us had stayed out of the hostel through the night. Not much in the eyes of passers by (of my blog) but definitely a daring adventure to remain etched in the minds of the partakers.
Apart from that, I have only been way awake into the night when I was engrossed in this book which I couldn't put down... or a movie because it transported me to this oh so fairy-tale world. Just during then , they take me to this different plane, where the real world seems unreal ..... I guess that's why I never gave up on the dream of writing a book or making a movie (and putting all readers or the spectators to sleep :))..... someday :)
