For my wife, Doris...
First, listen to sing this song...click below:
Lyrics, "Love Chooses You", by Kathy Mattea
Love comes unbidden, can't be forbidden
It takes you and shakes you right down to your shoes
It knows heartache and trial but accepts no denial
You can't choose who you love, love chooses you
It takes you and shakes you right down to your shoes
It knows heartache and trial but accepts no denial
You can't choose who you love, love chooses you
In the wink of an eye love looses an arrow
We control it no more than the flight of the sparrow
The swell of the tide or the light of the moon
You can't choose who you love, love chooses you
We control it no more than the flight of the sparrow
The swell of the tide or the light of the moon
You can't choose who you love, love chooses you
Tell me now if I'm wrong
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can't choose who you love
Love chooses you
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can't choose who you love
Love chooses you
Love cuts like a torch to a heart behind steel
And though you may hide it, love knows how you feel
And though you may trespass on the laws of the land
Your heart has to follow when love takes your hand
And though you may hide it, love knows how you feel
And though you may trespass on the laws of the land
Your heart has to follow when love takes your hand
And it seems we're two people within the same circle
It's drawn tighter and tighter till you're all that I see
I'm full and I'm empty and you're pouring through me
Like a warm rain fallin' through the leaves on a tree
It's drawn tighter and tighter till you're all that I see
I'm full and I'm empty and you're pouring through me
Like a warm rain fallin' through the leaves on a tree
Tell me now if I'm wrong
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can't choose who you love
Love chooses you
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can't choose who you love
Love chooses you
No you can't choose who you love
Love chooses you
Love chooses you

Then, listen to Mary Chapin Carpenter w/ Vince Gill & Kathy Mattea sing this song...
"Wall 'Round Your Heart", by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Just outside the place
Two people face
Each other merely by chance
Abandoned by words
And the purpose they serve
It stops them right in their tracks
How long has it been
Since this feeling within
Has made you forget who you are?
Let's you believe once more in the moon
Let's you have faith again in the stars
Let's you go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
Now the world is unkind most of the time
And most of the time we survive
Hard look at yourselves and love double crosses
That all broken hearts seem to find
After giving too much
They're afraid of the touch
'Cause the last just left a scar
If you believe once more in the moon
And if you have faith again in the stars
You can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
There's walls made of steel
There was walls made of stone
But none are so strong
As the walls made of fear alone
Sooner or later, it's all human nature
Propelling you forward again
It's the step and the chance, the turn and a glance
Asking, where in the world have you been?
But you don't have to answer
'Cause now you're a dancer
And the music is ready to start
You can believe once more in the moon
You have faith again in the stars
And you can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
You can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
