I Wanna Be Loved Like That ~Shenandoah

Natalie Wood gave her heart to James Dean
High school rebel and a beauty queen
Standing together in an angry world
One boy fighting for one girl

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

Daddy never gave Mamma a diamond ring
Mamma never worried for anything
What he gave her came from the heart
A bond that was never torn apart

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

An old man kneeling all alone
Plants his flowers in a garden of stone
For seven years now she's been gone
And his devotion is still going strong

I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

    Lets be for real here who doesn't... I can not tell a lie I want the life my parents.  They have been married forever (32 years)  I can count on one hand how many fights they have had.  Not arguments but real fights.  And on top of that it's always about stuff that is important never about who is going to cook dinner or do the dishes.  They raised 3 beautiful girls that are happy (don't get me wrong we all have our moments of unhappiness but for the most part we are happy :))  I can't lie I want to spend the rest of my life sitting in the same room as the man of my dreams in comfortable silences.   I want to have kids and know that I can always use the "Wait til your father hears about this"  Haha.  We didn't get that much but it was always in the back of our minds.  If I do something stupid what will mom and daddy say? On most things it wasn't worth finding out.  

I want to spend the rest of my life falling asleep in the arms of this one man.  I personally don't believe in Divorce.  Its not an opinion...I got that from my Mama.  I know that for sure. She had a similar life to what I have led.  Was cheated on by her fist love and had to learn to heal.  She helped me a lot.  She is the reason I am as strong of a person as I am.  She taught me that it's ok to cry and that God doesn't give you more then you can handle and even when you wanna give up not to...  On top of teaching me to cook, clean, sew and lots of other things.

I have learned a ton from my Daddy too... to show your love rather then say it.  To work had and pay your own way.  Don't let your pride get in the way of needing help.  Family is the most important in the whole world... On top of teaching me how to milk a cow, bail hay, grew tobacco, and tons of other stuff.   

My Mom and Dad have the love that is spoken about in this song.  I am blessed and THANKFUL for them and everything they have taught me.  For turning me in to the person that I am and showing me how love should be.  The love that I thought I had couldn't hold a candle to what Mom and Dad have.  I have no words to say how grateful I am for everything that they have taught me.  I love my Mom and Dad because they made me who I am.  I and thankful that they showed me love like Natalie and James so I could know what it is that I want to find out of life.

Sappy tonight sorry ... I was feeling it ...
Have Faith
