Stand by me...

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this beautiful voice oozing out in front of me as the MTV channel kept on playing song after song. A melodic song that was interspersed with the renditions of a gospel choir and a full orchestra somehow made this ballad outstanding and awe-inspiring.

And well, Shayne is gorgeous. I just love it when guys have that clean-shaven look and those smouldering eyes.

And who is he? Brits voted for him in their millions to crown him winner of The X-Factor 2005, his record-breaking debut single "That's My Goal" stormed to the top of the charts giving him the Christmas No.1, where it stayed for four weeks. He entered the Guinness World Record book for the most downloaded track in a day, claimed the Christmas No.1, selling over a million records, received a Brit nomination and completed his debut album. Shayne's young, superstar status and all, and I hope he's here to stay with his beautiful ballads.

There's this that I like so much...and well, the lyrics just give me a warm woozy feeling...Sigh, love is beautiful, and I sure hope I can immerse myself in the beauty of love soon, perhaps in time to come...

SHAYNE WARD: "Stand By Me".

Nothing's impossible
Nothing's unreachable
When I am weary
You make me stronger
This love is beautiful
So unforgettable
I feel no winter cold
When we're together
When we're together

[chorus]
Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

When day turns into night
I look into your eyes
I see my future now
All the world and its wonder
This love won't fade away
And through the hardest days
I'll never question us
You are the reason
My only reason

Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told
I am blessed
To find what I need
In a world losing hope
You're my only belief
You make things right
Everytime after time
Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told
[repeat chorus]

Stand by me
No more darling
I want you by my side
I want you here with me

.......Deep in my heart, I am humming this ballad of love and sustenance...I know, perhaps one day, love will surely manifest, and perhaps, I could write beautiful tracks as simple yet so meaningful as this. One day, in time, perhaps. The future beckons.
