[b]Let's Stay Together [/b]
by Al Green

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

(repeat to fade):
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

The interconnectedness of airports never ceases to amaze me. You are here, then here, then there--all the time there will be almost no difference in where you are until you leave the premises of the airport itself. A taxi stand, an information kiosk, a sleepy looking kid. A check in desk. Signs and blinking televisions screens. People in a hurry, people standing around waiting for their luggage. Its usually no different then where you came from. In my senseless direction, I think I will be thinking of you.

I can't cross years and time to say that, 'yes- we will end up together.' You just work towards it, say you mean it, and continue boarding your planes on time.

So maybe I'll see you again. But if you don't come, and that turns into next summer, and then maybe next year- well, don't worry.

If this a dream or a crazy idea you let go too far, then thats okay also.

If nothing of this was real....then okay. I think all that matters now is that I think it happened, I will be in love with that and with you.

You are lovely, lovely and amazing.
