Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up (Lyric Video)

 

 These I Won't Give Up Lyrics performed by Jason Mraz

 When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold

And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

 For me this song reminds me of a friend, a special one.
We are separated by 13.000 miles away. Listening to this song makes me imagining that he is saying the words in the song for me. He is the only one...who always patiently waits..never complains..and always believes that we will make it through (distance, place, time, condition), he never gives up on me. Always there. Even when I told him that I wouldnt be able to talk as much as before due to the life i had here, he just said. . ."Don't worry, I understand. You have to be a positive girl, a cool girl. Come whenever you want to, you know I always be here."

"don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools, the gifts we've got yeah we got a lot at stake"


He gives me the space, he gives me the spirit, he gives me the trust, he gives me the patience. . . and now I am worried, what if I fall in love with him, orr I am already in ?

I hope we really can meet in person someday....

Speaking with teacher Day :)

           I talked with teacher Day. He is an English teacher in Bangkok. We were talking about animation from Japan. We exchange our favorite animation. He likes animation from Studio Ghibli like me. I always asked him about English and he explain me that's very easy to understand.
           I think it good to have foreigner friend. I can improve my English skills with them especially FREE :D

Watching "Notting Hill"

Once again I borrowed this from American Cornor at NSTRU. I want to listen British accent from Hugh Grant. I became a fan of Hugh Grant after watching this movie.

This is so nice movie. I thought that it is good to fall in love with a man such as Hugh Grant. He is so cool and it is important not to give up when I fall in love with a famous and rich people like Julia Roberts in this movie. She was so beautiful and good for this roll. And Rhys Ifans was so nice. He was so funny man in this movie,but he was also good friend of Hugh Grant. He played the important roll too. I like this type of person. It was interesting to watch his funny action.  

               “Don't forget. I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy...asking him to love her."

         Notting Hill is so wonderful place I think, so I enjoyed watching this movie with seeing the view of Notting Hill. The story of this movie is so interesting and heartwarming. Don't expect a great movie. It's entertainment, pure and simple, but enjoyable, and with some shining moments.

Listening Beautiful in White - Westlife

         There is a song that recently I just know from my roommate because (almost) every morning -when we get ready to go out somewhere, she turn the music on (loudly). And I really love the easy listening music and beautiful voice of the singer.

So, i just fall in love when he (the singer) said "you look so beautiful in white" then I'll be running back to my closet again and looking for some white t-shirt or blazer to wear!

             Then someday, I just realize that the meaning of these lyrics are the boys really mesmerizing when they beloved wearing a white dress in their sacred wedding :) So romantic!

Title: "Beautiful in White"

Singer: Shane Filan (Westlife)

Unreleased: April 2010

Demo Singer: Shayne Ward

Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous I couldn’t speak
In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece

So as long as I live I love you
Will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I’ll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

What we have is timeless
My love is endless
And with this scream I
Say to the world
You’re my every reason you’re all that I believe in
With all my heart I mean every world

You look so beautiful in white

And if our daughter’s what our future holds
I hope she has your eyes
Finds love like you and I did
Yeah, I wish she falls in love and I will let her go
I’ll walk her down the aisle
She’ll look so beautiful in whit

  
One of the beautiful song I’ve ever heard :)
