Eric Benet - Still with you (from “Hurricane” album)

[ DL LINK ]

Heaven knows what you’ve been through
So much pain…
Even though you can’t see me
I’m not far away…

We always say if one of us
Somehow went away…
We’d light a candle and say a prayer
Know that love
Still remains…

Chorus:
Close your eyes
Go to sleep
Know my love is… all around
Dream in peace
When you wake…
You will know
I’m still with you

Live your life from this day on
And love again…
I know you’ll do the same for me
That’s the way that love is supposed to be

Chorus:
Close your eyes
Go to sleep…
Know my love is… all around…
Dream in peace…
When you wake…
You will know…
I’m still with you…

Bridge:
When you feel those lonely teardrops
rolling down your face
Just know my love watches over you
Always… always…

Chorus:
Close your eyes
And go to sleep…
Know my love is… all around
Dream in peace
When you wake…
You will know I’m still with you

Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love… is all around…
Dream in peace…
When you wake…
You will know…
I’m still with… you….

*sharing mode on*

Hehe. Well, I’ve been in such a weird “mood” these past few days, but God is good, ALL the time, no exceptions. Thus, I do believe there is no ‘funny’ accidental coincidence in Him. And so, the same thing happens every time I need a song of comfort.  (To me, when the music speaks, it cuts through deep inside and nothing else matters. Not even the slightest worry nor the darkest problems. Everything becomes so clear, and that peace overflows.)

And that catchy phrase Eric Benet keeps singing about, “I’m still with you…” kinda stays with me throughout the entire song…

Funny thing is… I found this song when I was browsing for Alex’s news through DCinside. Pretty weird, huh? When God wants to get my attention, He just knew where to ‘find’ me, and just what can grab my attention. From the first moment when the piano starts, and Eric Benet begins to sing, to the end of the song, the lyrics are all there… like an answered prayer, all through Eric Benet’s soothing voice.

Then my mind wonders around… to Alex and Shinae (hehe)

To this:

:) and it’ll all be happening this Sunday… with their date to the planetarium. *blissful sigh*

From the preview for this Sunday’s episode, seems like Alex did worry a lot about his beloved wife.  About the ordeal she had to go through… (Choi Jin Shil’s suicide), how she has to cope the pain of losing such a beloved friend/sister.  Then it comes the What If part.  The “What if Alex is the one singing a song like this for Shinae?” to “What if this song is meant to be for Alex to give to Shinae?”

Heaven knows what you’ve been through
So much pain…

(And how did it come to that?  Hehe, I know I can get a little (a little?!) crazy when it comes to AlShin.  Sigh~ :P o well.. you have been warned haha.)

Live your life from this day on
And love again…
I know you’ll do the same for me
That’s the way that love is supposed to be…

When you feel those lonely teardrops
rolling down your face
Just know my love watches over you
Always… always…

    thank you for sharing a beautiful song.
    yes there’s no such coincidence in everything God has done in our life.

    I love the capture of Alex and Shinae holding hands. That’s just beautiful. Hope Alex can console her, and makes her feel better.

    Alex and Shinae, they’re definitely not coincidentally met up. It’s God’s plan. But whatever the result will be between them, I believe they have beautiful memories to keep in their lives.

    Hello!

    I’ve been reading your blog lately, about Alex and Shin Ae. I really like watching them, they have made me so happy. They are so sweet, adorable, and look perfect together. I’ve become a fan.

    And thank you for everything you have write about them. We share the same wish, like many other Al-Shin fans. I hope they will be together in real life too and have their own happy ending off screen.

    And look at Alex worried face. Patience…Patience…Patience, can’t wait to see the next episode. I check on the websites everyday, morning and afternoon, to watch the English translations none so far until this morning. Can the subbers speed up please. Ooops sorry, I have goose bumps watching the Korean version but the more I enjoyed watching their scenes together when I understand what they are saying.lol

    I’ll be damn happy to hear them together in real life too not just on WGM. I read in some comments at you tube that some subbers stopped subbing and they only sub the couple they wanted such as the Lettuce couple. Any other others subbers, please translate. Thanks a lot.
