i know its mush,
but it gets me tush,
for my lovely wife....
my breath of life


Mrs. Bigravensfan (the "Happening") is my bride, my friend, my partner. Besides putting up with me, she is a devoted mother of 2 and an avid Orioles fan. If I was a better writer, I wouldn't need to quote all of these songs to express my feelings for her.


You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.

I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears .

You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart .

You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart .

(written by Stevie Wonder)


She's a Rainbow
(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)

She comes in colors everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen from days of old
She shoots colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

The Happening



Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me
Took me
Out of my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up
To the Happening

When you find
That you left the future behind
'Cause when you find a tender love
You don't need to take care of
Then you better beware of
The Happening

Riding high on top of the world
It happened
Suddenly it just happened
The Happening

Through The Years
(written by Kenny Rogers)

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care
For anyone but you
I swear
We've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years
You've never let me down
You've turned my life around
The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you
Through the years
I've never been afraid
I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I stayed
Right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted, who
I listened to before
I swear
You've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years
Through all the good and bad
I know how much we've had
I've always been so glad
To be with you
Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's ok
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years
When everything went wrong
Together we were strong
I know that I belong
Right here with you
Through the years
I've never had a doubt
We'd always work things out
I've learned what life's about
By loving you
Through the years


FAITHFULLY
(Jonathan Cain)

(As recorded by Journey)

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully

Mr. & Mrs.
Bigravensfan's
song revealed


Couple share love of
Phil Collins tune:


When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear

Wouldn't you agree
That baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love

Any time you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Anytime at all
When I kiss your lips
Oooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside

Wouldn't you agree
That baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love

When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms
Nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter
I don't care

Wouldn't you agree
That baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We've got a groovy kind of love

What Is Life
(written by George Harrison)

what I feel
I can't say
but my love is there for you
anytime of day
if it's not love
that you need
then I'll try my best
to make everything succeed

tell me, what is my life
without your love
tell me, who am I
without you
by my side

what I know
I can do
if I give my love now
to someone like you
if it's not love
that you need
then I'll try my best
to make everything succeed

tell me, what is my life
without your love
tell me, who am I
without you
by my side


I Hear A Symphony


You've given me a true love
and every day I thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting

Baby,
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms

Then suddenly, I hear a symphony
Ooh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
'Till I leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Play sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby

Baby, baby
You bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on
Now baby, baby
Those tears that seem my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rhapsody of love now

Baby, baby
As you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air

Now baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
