Dave Barnes

During college I was introduced to a wonderful, sweet, completely romantic man. I became slight obsessed. I made (along with Katie) a playlist for what we like to call "Love Song Friday", and it was pretty much filled with his wonderful words of love. His name is Dave Barnes. If you haven't heard of Dave, you should go to itunes right now and download something of his. Anything will due. It's all wonderful. I am a complete sap though, so please realize that they are pretty romantic.

I just discovered this gem and thought I would share it with those of you (Katie) who love Dave Barnes as much as I do.


"God Gave Me You"

I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

There’s more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
& I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could baby, never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
Gave me you."
