Next to Me

I really dig this chick's voice, and yesterday a friend of mine came over who is going through a divorce. She's also contemplating her feelings about a friend who is very different from the man who was her husband for 20 years, but won't be for much longer. I brought up the book "The Five Love Languages" and advised her to read it -- it's such a great guide to who you are and what you want and need in a relationship.

When I heard this song today, I thought how it embodies my two love languages -- physical touch and quality time -- really nicely:

You won’t find him drinking at the table
Rolling dice or staying out ’til three
You won’t ever find him be unfaithful
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

You won’t find him tryna chase the devil
For money, fame, for power, out of greed
You won’t ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

When the money’s spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free
I know there’s no need for me to panic
Cause I’ll find him, I’ll find him next to me

When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
I will find him, I’ll find him next to me

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we’ve spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone has lost their heads around us
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
Next to me – ooh hooo
You will find him, you’ll find him next to me

There's no one next to me right now, but the Universe has heard me say loud and clear that this is what I want and need. I reckon you will find him next to me soon enough!
