Savage Garden

The radio sucks here so I pulled out a couple Savage Garden CDs I haven’t heard in a while. I love two of their songs. Call them popish or wimpy but I love them.

One song, “Truly, Madly, Deeply” is my and Derron’s song; another, “I Knew I Loved You” could be our song too.

True love is exactly as they say in “Truly, Madly, Deeply”…you have to be willing to give up everything for it to work. That doesn’t mean you have to…but you have to be willing to.

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need

I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

I will be strong
I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish, send it to heaven then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of

The highest power
In lonely hours
the tears devour you

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can you see it baby?
don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come

“I Knew I Loved You” describes what I felt when I first saw Derron. I didn’t know him but something told me he was the one for me. It took about a year for him to “know” too.

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
