sometimes I think in Spanish, I can easily spend 6 or more hours in a bookstore, i eat peanut butter with a spoon, and I love God.

Amor

This last weekend I was so blessed to have my Mom and Papa visit. It was so so wonderful to see them, spend time with them, and share with them a little of what I'm doing here, what I'm learning, what I'm becoming. I will talk more about it later. But one thing that is on my heart is something that my tica mom said after my family left.

"Existen muchas lenguas, pero la lengua universal es amor."

Translation: Many languages exist, but the universal language is love.

After spending some time crying with her in happiness and also sadness for my mom and papa leaving, and for me to be leaving in a few weeks, I heard this song. It hit home. And I need to remember and represent God's love.

Let My Love Open the Door
by Audio Adrenaline

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come one and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
Only thing's gonna set you free
That's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let them bring you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Ash-you are so tenderhearted and beautiful. We loved seeing you and meeting your family. Please tell Margarita that I will never forget her and how she loved my beautiful daughter.

Audio Adreniline remade Let my Love open the door?

PETE TOWNSEND has the best version of that song. I've never heard the Audio Adreniline remake.

well call me stupid.
I never knew.

Arly said...

Not stupid, just uninformed. :)

Smash said...

very uninformed.
but I'd like to say, I just saw Dan in Real Life (which you must see by the way - fabulous)and they sing that song in the movie. It's just a good song all together. That was my main point.

I love that song, too! Such great lyrics. And I know the AA version better than the Pete Townsend version, so don't feel ignorant. =)
