This week Jim Adams has prompted us with choosing songs involving Same | Different for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday.
I went outside the box on the theme this week and chose “Hello” by Lionel Richie and Adele. The same title, two completely different song melody and lyrics. Each song was written by their singer, respectively. Not feeling well today so this will be short & sweet.
Both songs and artist hold their place in the musical history books!
I've been alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times I sometimes see you pass outside my door Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide 'Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you I long to see the sunlight in your hair And tell you time and time again how much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow Hello, I've just got to let you know 'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you Hello, is it me you're looking for? 'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you I love you I love you Is it me you're looking for? Hello, is it me you're looking for? 'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying, I love you I love you I love you Hello, is it me you're looking for? Is it me, is it me, is it me Is it me you're looking for? Is it me, is it me Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Lionel Richie Hello lyrics Β© Brockman Music, Brenda Richie Publishing
Hello, it's me I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet To go over everything They say that time's supposed to heal ya But I ain't done much healing Hello, can you hear me? I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet There's such a difference between us And a million miles Hello from the other side I must've called a thousand times To tell you I'm sorry For everything that I've done But when I call you never Seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried To tell you I'm sorry For breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly Doesn't tear you apart anymore Hello, how are you? It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry I hope that you're well Did you ever make it out of that town Where nothing ever happened? It's no secret That the both of us Are running out of time So hello from the other side (other side) I must've called a thousand times (thousand times) To tell you I'm sorry For everything that I've done But when I call you never Seem to be home Hello from the outside (outside) At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried) To tell you I'm sorry For breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly Doesn't tear you apart anymore Ooooohh, anymore Ooooohh, anymore Ooooohh, anymore Anymore Hello from the other side (other side) I must've called a thousand times (thousand times) To tell you I'm sorry For everything that I've done But when I call you never Seem to be home Hello from the outside (outside) At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried) To tell you I'm sorry For breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly Doesn't tear you apart anymore Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins / Gregory Allen Kurstin Hello lyrics Β© Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group

Itβs was strange whatever it was. It was like all my energy was gone and I just didnβt feel good. Been okay the last 2 days. Unless thereβs an emergency, I wonβt be getting bloodwork until November. I can call my doctor if I have to but would rather not at the moment. π

I can understand your reticence at ringing your Dr at the present time. Do keep an eye on yourself Lisa, pandemic or no we still can get other ailments.take care πππ

Yes, I know. I check my blood pressure…it’s good! I have a cuff from years ago because it was high. I’m not on any meds, but still check it every now and again because I’m not going to the dr. Even when I had my checkup – over the phone…I checked my BP & Temp for them so they could record it in my records. I’m feeling better. I took an allergy pill on Sunday (non-drowsy) and wonder if it was a batch that had the “knock you” ones in it. π
