Why Do I Feel So Sad? By Alicia Keys




Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

Sad Song

If you need it
Something I can give
I know I'd help you if I can
If your honest and you say that you did
You know that I would give you my hand
Or a sad song
In a lonely place
I'll try to put a word in for you
Need a shoulder? well if that's the case
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do ...

... Don’t throw it all away
You’re throwing it all away at the end of the day

Faces of Love

Love here, love there
Love springs everywhere
Love thrills, love excites
Love enchants and delights

Love hurts, love heals
Love gathers and dispels
Love kills, love revives
Love keeps us alive

When I am dead

by Christina Rossetti


When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me:
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Nyanyian Hati

Apakah perasaan yang kurasakan ini?
Kerana dikejauhan
Perasaan yang menawan hatiku
Dalam arah yang terlalu tajam

Aku tak bisa merasakannya
Arah yang sebenar dahulu
Terlalu tenang menenangkan
Emosiku membara

Sesuatu yang berlainan
Walaupun aku tahu
Perasaan dahulu yang ada untukku
Tidak lagi dapat disembunyikan

Kemana harus ku berlari?
Kemana harus ku bersembunyi?
Kemana saja sayangku
Aku tidak berdaya lagi

Benteng yang kubina
Terlalu cepat punah
Nyata atau khayalan
Berapa lama ia akan berakhir
Datanglah menjadi nyanyian hatiku
Biarkan dua irama menjadi satu
Hati kita bersatu
Akan terbit seperti mentari.

Jalan jalan cuci mata!

Hari minggu aku dan suami serta anak pegi makan angin di Bukit Tinggi. Sebenarnya ini bukanlah rancangan asal kami untuk kesana. Mulanya nak ke Genting tapi beralih arah haluan disaat akhir. Kemana pun arah tuju, tujuannya tetap sama jugak.

Aku benar benar teruja dengan keindahan alam semula jadi ciptaan Tuhan. Setiap hari menyedut udara kotor dibandar apa salahnya sesekali menghirup udara segar dari pergunungan. Aku tertarik dengan tumbuh2an dan bunga dengan pelbagai spesis.. Betapa indahnya ciptaan Illahi. Mungkin juga semua nie bertepatan dengan hobi aku sekarang, menanam pokok bunga.

Biarpun penat menaiki dan menuruni lorong dikawasan tebing bukit tapi ia rasa bagai satu kepuasan bagi aku sebab aku terlalu suka melihat keindahan alam. Walaupun tertera larangan memetik dan mencabut pokok aku buat bodoh je.. Curi2 jugak aku petik. Itu yang dinamakan gatai tangan.

Bagi aku tiada apa yang menarik disana selain suasana persekitaran dia. Tak ramai pelancong atau pengunjung yang datang. Di Colmar aku sempat jugak mewarnakan hiasan dinding corak bunga ros, untuk dijadikan kenangan. Selepas siap mewarna sambil tengok pertunjukkan kami menaiki shutter ke Japanese Village. Semasa mendaki kesana aku rasa ngeri jugak, bayangkan dengan jalan berbelok2 dan tinggi, dan jarak perjalanan yang jauh la jugak.

Di Japanese Village takde yang menarik selain daripada pemandangan persekitaran yang berbukit dan berbatu. Disitu juga terdapat taman botani. Terdapat pelbagai jenis pokok dan bunga ada disitu.

Sekali lagi aku terpaksa menempuh keadaan ngeri bila hendak balik semula ke colmar park. Dengan ketinggian jalan itu membuatkan penumpang kecut perut. Tapi alhamdulillah semua selamat sampai ke colmar.

Sepi Ini

Takkala manusia lena dibuai mimpi
Aku masih berjaga menemani malam
Mataku bagaikan matahari memancarkan suria
Tak dapatku pejamkan mata ini

Aku bukan seorang pujangga
Pandai berbicara menyusun kata
Ku hanya lah insan biasa
Menemani sang camar dalam kegelapan

Dikala malam melabuhkan tirainya
Aku masih lagi gagah berdiri
Bertemankan pena untuk melakarkan puisi

Bunyi cengkerik kian menyepi
Memberi erti hari telah berganti
Namun aku masih lagi disini
Bertemankan helaian kertas putih

Andai sepi ini bisa merubah takdir
Inginku menghambakan diri padanya
Andai sepi ini bisa memberi ketenangan
Inginku hentikan waktu ini agar sepi takkan berlalu..

MINE AGAIN (Mariah Carey)


MINE AGAIN (Mariah Carey)

Verse 1
I remember when you used to be mine
Way back when
I was too na've to love you right
But now if I only had the opportunity
I would do anything
Because my heart still believes

Chorus 1
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life

Verse 2
It's irrelevant to dwell on the past
I'm accountable for what went bad
And I mean that
But I keep on praying for another chance
Just to have you back
Cause I've grown
And I know how to be your everything

Chorus 2
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Maybe we could bring it back to life

Bridge
No, no it ain't over yet
I just can't accept the possibility
We weren't made for each other's arms
I know you're my destiny
We can't erase what was meant to be
Part of you and part of me
If we try one more time
Maybe somehow we'll survive

Outro
Maybe you could be mine again
Maybe we could make that dream for real
Like way back then
When love was yours and mine
Boy maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back
Maybe we could bring it back to
Life
Maybe you could be mine.

I CAN'T HAVE YOU

If loving you is wrong
Then my heart knows not what is right
I cry myself to sleep
Every second of the night
What is there to do?
What is there to say?
I know I can't have you
But still I give my heart away

I’d walk a thousand miles
And cry a thousand tears
Just to know your love
Will be waiting for me
But what is there to feel?
When you don’t feel the same?
I know I can’t have you
But still I give my love away

You are my dream come true
I wished upon a star for you
But what am I to know?
If you really love me so
I know I can’t have you
But still I give myself away

ALL MY LIFE

It was not so long ago
when I thought I'd never meet someone like you.
Wrong was I, thinking I'm in control
Believing I'd never fall.

All my life I thought no one would
melt a heart like mine, a heart so cold,
a heart hardened by the past,
protected by shields so vast.

Slowly I was falling
without even knowing.
Only to find out too late
I have no choice but to accept my fate.

I could dream, I suppose
forever, I could hope
there will never be any 'us', that's our destiny
so I wake up to reality.

I lied when I said
I didn't love you,
that my feelings for you
are through.

I lied
not because I wanted to
but because I love you
and I still do.

I wouldn't do a thing to hurt you
but I just have to let go.
I can't hold on much longer
'coz for us there's no forever.
