Taking You Home

  Taking You Home

 

Sometimes, in a quiet moment, you plug in your ear buds and listen to a song on your music device that hit at the heart of your being. Today, that song was "Taking You Home" by Don Henley (Eagles lead singer). 

I thought about how I could modify the words of this song to express my love for my wife, but after some time, I realized Henley's words were perfect for what I wanted to communicate to her.

I wish everyone who reads my blogs has someone in their lives that justifies the words below. If not, don't stop trying. You deserve it.

Taking You Home Lyrics

(Don Henley/Stan Lynch/Stuart Brawley)

I had a good life
Before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my name
Still there was sorrow and emptiness
'Til you made me glad
Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had

And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
I'm taking you home

There were days, lonely days
When the world wouldn't throw me a crumb
But I kept on believing
That this day would come

And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
I'm taking you—home
Where we can be with the ones who really care
Home, where we can grow together
Keep you in my heart forever

And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
Taking you home.
