I went to the Lisa Loeb website because ever since I typed "tempestuous skies" I've had a song she sang with her college group (Liz & Lisa) stuck in my head. I couldn't find it, but I did find the lyrics to what must be my favorite Lisa Loeb song ever, one that I sing quite frequently, without knowing hardly any of the words. The italicized paragraph is one of my favorite lyrics of any artist, not because it's profound or clever or anything like that. It just makes me smile.

Summer, it starts when I see you.
My smile, it parts when I hear you talking to me.
My heart, it beats when it's me who I know you love,
and my mind, it just goes crazy knowing I'm going to be with you always.


I ask you if you will hold my hand,
and you ask me if I'll kiss you.
You want to know how much I love you,
I say, "Well, I guess I'll miss you."
Well, I call you on the telephone 'cause you call me all the time, 'cause I
need to know the same of you and you the same of me, that you're still mine.


Tell me a story about me and you and I know how it will end- happily ever
after, just like it will begin.
And I'll show you a happy boy and girl if you show me a picture of me and you.
When it's time to leave, I'll ask you what to do.



I ask you if you will hold my hand,
and you ask me if I'll kiss you.
You want to know how much I love you,
I say, "Well I guess I'll miss you."
Well, I call you back on the telephone 'cause you call me all the time,
'cause I need to know the same of you and you the same of me,
that you're still mine.
