I wish I wrote this: Somethint in the way she mvoes, by James Taylor  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. ORyansBelt2012 (2111) 5 years ago

This is one of those songs I wish I wrote. The words pretty much say it all. If you want to hear the song I included the link to a website I have that's about a story I'm writing. There's nothing on the website but a couple pictures and this song...but as they say, a picture's worth a thousand words.
If a picture's worth a thousand words, then this song is worth a thousand pictures in expressing what I feel.
Hope you like it.

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.

I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
She's around me now
Almost all the time.
If I'm well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know.
Well I said I just got to know that:

It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Well she says them mostly just to calm me down.

I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
And shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If I'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine

Hmmm...nice song here! Well, if you didn't write it, perhaps you can strum a guitar to it...or notes to a piano song for it....there are many things you can do if you really want this song to become "yours".

Way ahead of you.
I've already learned the song. Have tried singing it a couple of times in my James Taylor voice.
It's one of those times when it is probably best that I live alone right now.
Though one of these days I'd like to at least play the song for her.
Not sure any love is strong enough to endure my singing.

The lyrics to the song are beautiful, ORyans, but, try as I may, I cannot get to hear it. I keep getting a popup window that says I have to sign into a Napster account. What's that about? I really want to listen to the song, so maybe I will look for it on one of the sites I visit to listen to music.


myLot reputation of 92/100. ORyansBelt2012 (2111)  5 years ago

You know what?
It is a Napster downloaded song.
I bet I'm the only one who can actually hear it because I have an account with Napster.
It didn't occur to me.
The CD is called James Taylor: One Man Band.

Wow, beautiful lyrics. I wish my husband would want to dedicate such a meaningful song to me, hehehe... I am not sure if I have heard this song before. Now that I have read the lyrics in your post three times, I want to hear the song itself. I will try to ask my nephews and nieces if they have James Taylor CD or I can search the web. I want to hear it now really.


myLot reputation of 92/100. ORyansBelt2012 (2111)  5 years ago

I included the link to a website that has the song for you to hear, but since it is a Napster downloaded song I don't think you can hear the song without first being a Napster customer.
Limewire should allow you to download it for free.
Maybe www.youtube.com and search James Taylor Something in the Way She Moves will help.
I have written many songs about her... and I have listened to many as well. This one song says it all. It's what she does to me.

Thanks. I will just check it out at you.tube. Thanks again and have a lovely day ahead. - Toni

I also just noticed the horrendous job of typing I did on the discussion header. It was very early this morning. I do hope you get to hear the song.
