"Until You Won Me Over" by Trent Dabbs featured on One Tree Hill




Why you gotta look so sad 
Why'd you pick today 
Don't talk yourself out of this 
We're all afraid 

They say it comes when you don't look 
So I'll help you look away 
You always try to make me smile 
Let me do the same 

Oh I was given the sunlight 
A thousand chances to live a sweet life 
Oh I cut all my loses 
I thought I lost you 

Until you won me over 
Until you won me over... darling 

I'll live off the hope I find 
To talk to you all night 
And we'll put all the stars together 
And make them line 

Running circles in the wind 
As we're falling free 
I'm never looking back this time 
Just stay with me 

Oh I was given the sunlight, 
A thousand chances to live a sweet life 
Oh I had cut all my loses 
I thought I lost you 

Until you won me over 
Until you won me over... 
Darling ... darling 

Oh I was given the sunlight, 
A thousand chances to live a sweet life 
Oh I had cut all my loses 
I thought I lost you 

Until you won me over 
Until you won me over... darling

Laundry Day


Today I went out to do laundry.
As I was waiting for it, I sat outside on a bench.
I had a lot on my mind.
I was thinking of Mom and Bella.
I was thinking of all the hate in the world.
It bothers me that there is so much hate
in the world.

I sat there for about 20 minutes.
I closed my eyes to look up at the sun.
It was nice and sunny outside.
I just wanted to feel the sun on my face.

I guess you could say I was having a
conversation with God. I always like to do that.

When I opened my eyes and looked
down at the bench I saw a little medal
right beside me.
Now, I was sitting there for 20 minutes
with my eyes opened and didn't notice
the medal.  So I don't if it was there and
I just didn't notice it?  Or, if someone put
it there when I had my face turned up to
the sky and my eyes closed.

It was a little crucifix with Mary and Joseph on it.
I picked it up and turned it over.

It said:
"Jesus, Mary, Joseph
Be with us on our way."

I took it to mean
God is with me.
I can't change the world.
I can only do my part.
Just keep doing good.
Everything will be ok.
I am always with you.
