Tommy Shane Steiner - What If Shes An Angel

There's a man standing on the corner
With a sign sayin "will work for food"
You know the man
You see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You cant sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the lights going to turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean

What if he's an angel sent here from Heaven
And he's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down could've been his savin' grace
What if he's an angel

There's a man
And there's a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There's alot of noise coming from through ceiling
And it don't sound like harmony
You cant sit there with your tv turned up
While the words and his anger fly
Come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye

What if she's an angel sent here from heaven
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could've been her savin' grace
What if she's an angel

A little girl, on daddy's lap
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel
Most people do
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes

Maybe she's an angel
Sent here from Heaven
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could've been her savin' grace

What if she's an angel

Step into Countryside's beautiful Starry Night

Let's step into the countryside through Van Gogh's paintings.

Listen to Don McLean's hit song Vincent   (Starry, Starry Night)

Starry, Starry Night

Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey, Look out on a summer's day, With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now. Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain, Weathered faces lined in pain, Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. For they could not love you, But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, You took your life, as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you. Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls, Frameless head on nameless walls, With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the strangers that you've met, The ragged men in the ragged clothes, The silver thorn of bloody rose, Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will...

another game on Facebook




I think people playing this game is more creative.
Thus the pictures are so impressive that you can't ignore it and want to play on it.



FarmVille lets players cultivate their farms by plowing, planting and harvesting crops and trees. Players also care for their farm animals: milking their cows and collecting eggs from their chickens.

FarmVille was the top game by daily active users on Facebook between August 2009 and December 2010, when CityVille claimed the top spot. We continue to enhance the social aspects of the game, including in-game gifting to friends, cooperative crafting jobs and trading goods in the farmer’s market.

In our first retail tie-in in May 2010, we partnered with 7-Eleven to offer FarmVille-branded game cards and items on many of the convenience retailer’s products, including Slurpee and Big Gulp drinks in nearly 7,000 stores. We partnered with Lady Gaga in May 2011 by creating GagaVille — a Lady Gaga-inspired farm where players could visit and listen to songs from her album Born This Way.

Whatever It Is

When someone love other people,

He or She would be shy, and don't know how to do.

Just like a little boy or a little girl.

If the person they love do everything small, they think all things are huge.

It's funny.=)

In this song, Zac Brown Band sings

 "When she loves me, I'm on top of the world. 
Because when she loves me, I can live forever. 
When she loves me, I am untouchable. "

Such a sweet word to touch everyone's heart.




**Lyrics**

She's got eyes that cut you like a knife
and lips that taste like sweet red wine
And pretty legs go to heaven every time
She got a gentle way that puts me at ease
When she walks in the room I can hardly breathe
Got a devastating smile knock a grown man to his knees

She's got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I wanted to say to a woman
but couldn't find the words to say
She's got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
Because every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out 'I love you'
You got whatever it is

You know I've never been the type
that would ever want to stay
Bring 'em home at night and they're gone the next day
But that all changed when she walked into my life
People ask me what it is
I tell them I don't know
Just something about the woman makes my heart go haywire
She's gonna be my wife

She's got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I wanted to say to a woman
but couldn't find the words to say
She's got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
Because every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out 'I love you'
You got whatever it is

When she loves me
Girl that's how I feel
When she loves me
I'm on top of the world
Because when she loves me
I can live forever
When she loves me
I am untouchable

She's got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I wanted to say to a woman
but couldn't find the words to say
She's got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
Because every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out 'I love you'
You got whatever it is

Making Memories Of Us

The love is gorgeous.

We wanna grab it.

And, we can do everything for our lover.

Keith Urban uses the slow temple to express the feeling.

You can follow him to sing this song=)



**Lyrics**

I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you this promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us

What A Beautiful Day

We all like the beautiful day.


**Lyrics**
Day 1 I stumbled through "Hello" on 5th Avenue
Day 2 We grabbed a bite to eat and talked all afternoon
We caught a movie on Day 14
And Day 67 she said "I love you" to me

Oh what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
We had our up's and down's all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day

What a beautiful day
Day 116 I asked her what she was doing for the rest of my life
Day 189 Oh I almost lost that girl to my foolish pride
She said "I do" on Day 482
And gave me a son on Day 761

Oh what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
We had our up's and down's all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day

Day 18,253
Well honey that's 50 years
Yeah here's to you and me

Oh what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
We had our up's and down's all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day

Day 1 I thank God I said "Hello" on 5th Avenue
