A marriage is not some nebulous entity. It is a union between two very human beings. And as humans we have needs. Often one of the needs is to just simply get away from all the stress; the pressure of an info/tech savvy saturated environment, the stress of having to keep all those plates spinning in the air at once, feelings you have to do instead of be. We are human beings after all.
My song “Just for Tonight” came from reflecting on sacred moments of fun with my husband and a desire to recapture again and again and again, the joy of just being together. Oftentimes these moments give us opportunities to begin breathing deep again. They help us enjoy and appreciate one another’s personalities, and to even revisit our emotional scrap book of humor and keepsakes~
Here are the lyrics and a link to the song:
Just for Tonight Tammy Bovee © 2012
Verse 1: Just for tonight, let’s walk in twilight’s stillness
Just for tonight
Just for tonight let the stars sing to us
Just for tonight Let’s stroll starlit fields of splendor
Let the moment breathe
Dance with me in splashing moonlight over by the trees
Chorus: `Cause sometimes life’s greatest stories fit between the lines
Sometimes silence speaks when words are hard to find
Wounded hearts heal during walks in the night
So hold me / hold me/ Let me know it will be all right /
Just for tonight
Verse 2: Just for tonight, forget all of our struggles
Just for tonight
Just for tonight watch our gold rings sparkle
Just for tonight Let’s dance like we just fell in love
`Tasted our first kiss
Dream of happy times of laughter as we reminisce
Chorus:
Bridge:
Let’s remember why we fell in love all those years ago
Let’s take our shoes off and run like children
Let the heartaches go/ Let the heartaches go
Chorus:
Tag: Just for tonight / Just for tonight / Just for tonight rest of our lives.
I love to put words and deep emotions to music. One night leading up to the Fourth of July, as I was getting ready for bed, something stirred deep in my soul as I thought about the reason we celebrate. Fireworks is our way of lighting the sky with remembrances of our sacred heritage of freedom. Closely tied to love of country is my first love, Jesus Christ. Like soldiers who bravely and selflessly died to purchase our freedom, long ago Jesus Christ fought the greatest battle for us on the cross of Calvary. Jesus died to purchase our freedom. His death on the cross and his resurrection assure us that all who receive him will have eternal life.
