You must be kidding! Why would I be interested in joining Taylor & Associates? There's no way they'd be able to pay me what I get here. Besides, I've been here for half my working life and the last thing I want to do is to leave. Do you honestly think I'd deal with Taylor behing your back? Come on now! You know me better than that! Come on!

Hi Eddi. How's it going? Where do you get all those jokes you send me by email? You must spend hours searching the Internet for that stuff. You know, to tell you the truth, I'd almost prefer you didn't send me so many. I've got a lot of work to do. I don't have time to read them all... despite the temptation.

I look to you - Whitney Houston

For all those who like Gospel music, as I do, here you are this marvellous song by Whitney Houston called "I look to you".



To download the song

I LOOK TO YOU

As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now,
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...

About to lose my breathe
there's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if I'm going to make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...

My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me

The rain is falling
defeat is calling
I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle
I need you
shine on me

I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD TAKE THAT

Here standing in the rain
The sun has gone again and nothing's gonna change
Time, I need a little time as you slip out of sight
And nothing heals the pain.

And I know that it's you that's stopping me from falling
Crashing down, losing ground til I see you again
And you know...

Refrain
The sun will shine, and we will see there's nothing standing in our way
Love will stand and never break
Never thought this could be me
Do you feel what I feel?
Everytime that you are near it's a beautiful world
A beautiful world

Words are hard to keep inside
Even though I've tried, impossible to hide.
And you know that it's me that's stopping you from falling
Crushing down, losing ground til I see you again
And you know...

The sun will shine, and we will see there's nothing standing in our way
Love will stand and never break
Never thought this could be me
Do you feel what I feel?
Everytime that you are near it's a beautiful world
A beautiful world

I'll be the stars guiding you
I'll be the place that you hide
I'd run a thousand miles, a thousand miles to be by your side.

The sun will shine, and we will see there's nothing standing in our way
Love will stand and never break ...
It's a beautiful world
A beautiful world
