"Purple Rain" - Prince
I was about to log out. After all, it is after 1:11A... but for some reason I could not bring myself to give up so easily this time around. I jotted down something just to show that I made an attempt and that was going to be the end of it. It was all too exhausting, but I just had to try even though my warm bed behind me is inviting me in. I know I would just lie there, tossing and turning until my body does what my brain wants. It f@cks with me that way. I made a promise and I have to make every effort to stick to it for no one else, but me. I slipped in November and am continuing to do so in December. But enough already, no more excuses.
I blame the holidays. I blame my energy level. I have to admit sleep has not been difficult considering the work week I have had and it ain't over. I still have one more day left (that starts in 4-hours), but once I clock out I plan to do nothing, but breathe and smile all weekend long...so much in fact that it may very well carry over until Monday.
I have a story to tell with this song, but for now let me just mark this moment in time when a song popped up right into my head when I was about to surrender to my laziness. And it makes me giggle just a little knowing that it was this song of all songs that came to mind.
Lyrics:
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain
