Born To Be Blue

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just don't know
Will I ever fall in love
And never have to worry
That I'm fallin' all alone
Maybe It's true
I was just born to be blue
Maybe It's true
I was just born to be blue

They say everybody's got someone
A sweet somebody to love
It might be fate or destiny
Baby written in the stars above
But I can't help but wonder
After all that I've been through
Maybe my baby's no where to be found
And I was just born to be blue
Was I born to be unhappy
Just to live on heartache street
Was I born to go to bed each night
And cry myself to sleep
Can somebody out there help me
Give me some kind of clue
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
But don't tell me I was born to be blue

They say nobody dies from a heartache
You can't drown in your own tears
Who wants to live in this world alone
Where minutes turn into years
So I'd rather go down than leavin'
Suffer a heartache or two
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
But don't tell me I was born to be blue

Was I born to be blue
Born just to cry
Born to be alone 'til the day I die
Somebody tell me
Was I born to be loved
Born to be kissed
Born to find the one
To show me what I missed
Was I born to be blue
Born just to cry
Born to be alone 'til the day I die
Tell me mama
Was I born to be loved
Born to be kissed
Born to find the one
To show me what I missed

Truly On My Own

This seems so strange to say this at this time in my life, but for the first time I am truly on my own. There is no one there standing beside me to guide, comfort or advise me at this time in my life. Right now I feel so small and insignificant. My mother passed away in November, and we just moved my father to a nursing home closer to my brother. My brother is about 50 miles away, (not far really, but ...). And so here I am alone for the first time. I too, would have moved, but after taking care of both my mother and father and not working for the past six months, I start a new job here in town on Monday (with a fantastic company that I have worked for before). So it was decided that I stay here and get back on my feet, while my Dad is living closer to my brother.


This has all happened in the last two weeks. Things have moved at lightning speed, I have not had time to take it all in. Until now. And right now, I am a little overwhelmed, a little frightened, and, I have to admit this, a little excited. For the first time, to truly be on my own. I am not sure what to make at this time. Just me, myself, and I. Oh yes, and my furry little companion....I guess I'm not really all alone then....and even though he doesn't speak words....his little eyes do.....and they will say to me when I come home every evening.....I missed you, how was your day......what more could I ask for........
