She has the power to go where no one else can find me And to silently remind me Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

Artist- James Taylor
Song of the day- Something in the way she moves

I was talking with my friend this weekend about my parents and who I was most like. Without hesitation I say my father, always joking about not being pleased I look like a dude or that my dad gave me his insomnia, bad back or people pleasing skills and lacked giving me his mathematical super power or perfectionism. But in reality if I have an inch of the heart my dad has for others for god for doing good, well then I will be one of the greatest people you will ever meet, and I am so I must have gotten some of his good traits haha j/k. So I know that this song is about how fantastic this gal is, but it will always remind me of my father. Thankfully I didn't inherit his horrible never in tune vocals, but I can't hear this song without hearing him singing it to me in the car during long drives. And the look on his face and how pleased he was and how much he loved this song and how I'd believe he was singing it about me. Which might have been a trick to make me forever love James Taylor, but it worked and I do. And it was in my head all day while my dad was in surgery and when I felt worried or antsy I kept thinking of his face singing me this song and it made me feel fine.



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

Chorus:
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
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
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

Chorus:
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

It isn't what she's got to say
But how she thinks and where she's been
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't much matter what they mean
If she says them mostly just to calm me down

Chorus:
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
