In the sky dark clouds form
dark, dark clouds for a winter storm.
In the harbor, in the port
boats and ships of every sort.
The north wind blows, the sea is torn;
torn by the gale, of a winter storm.
Sailors wait with, boats in port,
hoping the storm, will be short.
Jenny, I know you like Jack a lot, but what do you like about him?
Jenny: Well, I don't know, but there's just something about him. Don't you think so?
Mary: Really? What's that "something"?
Jenny: Well, he's gentle, patient, successful, and MATURE. I think He's my Mr. Right!
Mary: MATURE is a good word, but don't you think he's a little old for you? He's almost twice as old as you are!
Jenny: Well, age shouldn't be something that comes in the way of a person's marriage. As long as we love each other, age is not an issue.
Mary: But what will others think?
Jenny: I don't care what others will think about us. I just know I love him and he loves me...and that's all that matters.
He's head over heels in love with you.
The storyline: Jane's friend Fiona tells Jane that she's lucky to have John as her boyfriend because....
Fiona: I heard you're going out with John?
Jane: Yes. To be frank, I really love him to death.
Fiona: You're so lucky!
Jane: Why do you say that?
Fiona: Why? Are you kidding me? A guy like him is hard to find. Few boys are so caring, so patient, and, did I mention, he's a hottie?
Jane: You really think so?
Fiona: Totally! I'm saying it from the bottom of my heart! And it's obvious that he's head over heels in love with you, too.
Jane: I sure hope so!

I hope you dance - Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
