That every life must end
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go

Yeah I'm a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
Yeah others they got none

Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Practised on our sins
Never gonna let me win
Under everything
Just another human being

I don't want to hurt
There's so much in this world
To make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
'Cause I come clean

I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'till I die
Meet you on the other side

I've loved you every mile down this road
Had my share of hits and misses
Tryin' to keep between the ditches
Dear Life, I hope you know

Dear Life, what's your plan
Is where I'm suppose to be, right where I am
If it is, then I'm not leavin'
If it ain't, then I'll keep on dreamin'
Dear Life, what's your plan

Now you're flying by too fast
I'm about to make you last
I'm beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm tryin' to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life

Dear Life, how's it look
When you read the next few pages of my book
Am I with the ones I love
Down here or up above
Dear Life, how's it look

Now you're flying by too fast
I'm about to make you last
I'm beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm trying to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life

Now you're flyin' by too fast

I'm beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm trying to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh oh dear life

I wanna leave my mark
Love til it breaks my heart
Live so loud that my forever
Echoes in the dark
I wanna leave my mark
Love til it breaks my heart
Live so loud that my forever
Echoes in the dark

You're flyin' by too fast
I'm about to make you last
I'm beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm tryin' to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life

I very much enjoyed reading your book "Tuesdays With Morrie." In many chapters, flashbacks helped to let the reader understand more about Morrie's personality. Specifically, at The First Tuesday Morrie's silence in the classroom shows that Morrie wanted to find out how silence can affect human relations. Also, I ove how the book seems simple but it contains much deeper meanings about life hidden throughout the text.
For example, in the Fifth Tuesday Morrie says "There is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family." Overall, the book is well-written and it teaches life lessons that can never be forgotten.]]> 2017-10-29 22:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/messmer_chris/ucnw0z5uhzrm/wish/201543233 Morrie and Me messmer_chris https://padlet.com/messmer_chris/ucnw0z5uhzrm/wish/201544957 Morrie: Tender, optimistic, spiritual, appreciative, affectionate, encouraging, satisfied, meaningful, philosophical, unique, compassionate, sensible
