If I Believe

If I believed in paradise
I'd swear I must be there
I'd swear I must be there right now with you
If I believed in miracles
I'd know that one was happening to me
But if I don't believe in paradise
Then miracles aren't real
Then someone tell me what is this I feel
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I can't deny
if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
If I believed in magic spells
It all would be so clear
'Cause magic spells must have brought you here
If I could see the future
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
But I dont know any magic
And tomorrow's just a dream
But something in this fantasy is real
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I cant deny
If I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
I'm there
I'm there
If I believed.

I love this song.The song itself is not what is important, but the memories that it actually triggers. For one thing comes to mind when I hear this song from Patti Austin. The day I knew who I want to spend forever with.

I knew I love him even before, but on that fateful day, I learned what people mean when they say "you'll just know when he is the right one for you." There were no more doubts, questions, or fears. He is the guy for me. The guy I've been waiting for. The guy I would fulfill my dream of having a happy family with.

In retrospect, the time this song is bringing me back to is truly one of the most memorable experiences I've had. The place was not really beautiful, the food not great. But it made me see how I dont need to be in a beautiful place to be in paradise....
