Written In The Stars

Below are the lyrics to the song Written in the Stars by Westlife. Listen to the words, J. They are for you and me.

I am a hopeless romantic. I love romantic dinners, unexpected flowers. And love letters, oh, God, how I love love letters! Tomorrow J is taking me out on a lunch date, and it got me to thinking about romantic stories. The above story is one of my favorites - Rocky and Adrian.

If you have never seen a Rocky movie, may I suggest Rocky I, Rocky II, and the last movie, Rocky Balboa. I am not into boxing at all, but the story of Rocky and Adrian is so moving, I can get through the boxing parts, which there aren't that many of. One of my favorite scenes is at the end of a fight, Rocky is looking through the crowd for Adrian. People are running up into the ring, screaming at him, pushing, trying to get to him, but all Rocky can think about is finding his beloved Adrian. He is shouting, "Adrian! Adrian!" And she is running through the thick soup of the crowd, screaming, "Rocky! Rocky!" Oh, man, I get chills just thinking of it.

And when he screams at the animals in the zoo, "Hey! I'm getting married!"

My favorite scene is from the final movie, Rocky Balboa. I searched and searched for it on You Tube, but couldn't find it. It is when Rocky breaks down in front of Paulie about how much he misses Adrian and he cries. Seeing Sylvester Stallone crying like that, wow, it almost makes me believe that Rocky and Adrian were real people. It makes me think how I would feel if I ever lost my beautiful J. I don't think I could go on.

Anyway, here ya go, J, Written in the Stars:

Stay with me

Don't fall asleep too soon

The angels can wait for a moment

Come real close

Forget the world outside

Tonight we're alone

It's finally you and I

It wasn't meant to feel like this

Not without you

Cos when I look at my life

How the pieces fall into place

It just wouldn't rhyme without you

When I see how my path

Seems to end up before your face

The state of my heart

The place where we are

Was written in the stars

Don't be afraid

I'll be right by your side

Through the laughter and pain

Together we're bound to fly

I wasn't meant to love like this

Not without you

Cos when I look at my life

How the pieces fall into place

It just wouldn't rhyme without you

When I see how my path

Seems to end up before your face

The state of my heart

The place where we are

Was written in the stars

I made a few mistakes, yeah

Like sometimes we do

Been through lot of heartache

But I made it back to you

Cos when I look at my life

How the pieces fall into place

It just wouldn't rhyme without you

And when I see how my path

Seems to end up before your face

The state of my heart

The place where we are

Was written in the stars

I love ya, Baby.
