This one’s for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In a little apartment, just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and spaghetti-o’s
Wondering where you life is gonna go

This one’s for the girls
Who’ve ever had a broken heart
Who’ve wished upon a shooting star
You’re beautiful the way you are
This one’s for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one’s for the girls

This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the Fountain of Youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today

This one’s for the girls
Who’ve ever had a broken heart
Who’ve wished upon a shooting star
You’re beautiful the way you are
This one’s for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one’s for the girls

Yeah, we’re all the same inside (same inside)
From 1 to 99

This one’s for the girls
Who’ve ever had a broken heart
Who’ve wished upon a shooting star
You’re beautiful the way you are
This one’s for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one’s for the girls
Yeah, this one’s for the girls

I love Martina McBride.  Talk about one class act!  She first came to my attention when she joined the country music scene about 1991.  At that time, I felt like she was just another girl singer.  As time has passed and I realized that we are about the same age and are passing through the same stages in life simultaneously, I have developed a real heartfelt and deep connection to her music, her voice and her lyrics.  The above lyrics are from her hit single, This One’s For The Girls.  That and In My Daughter’s Eyes express thoughts and feelings I share completely when I think about myself and my 3Ps.

Now, if you are not very familiar with Martina McBride and her songs, that is okay because she is enough of a crossover artist that you will probably recognize several of the hits found on her latest release, Playlist.  Playlist  is a compilation of some of her most famous songs – the kind of songs that have defined her as an artist.  In addition though, they have added some wonderful tunes that even an avid country lover like myself can find new and refreshing.  I love that the packaging for this disc is all eco-friendly too~ made from 100% recycled/recyclable materials.  They have even enhanced the CD so you can access notes, images, wallpaper – you name it,  right from your computer.This clip is from Martina McBride’s performance and interview on Soundcheck. You can see the performances and interview in full on Soundcheck. You can also download ‘I Love You’ courtesy of Soundcheck for free.  So take a listen here and check out what songs are included on the Playlist CD .  I just know you will love it.  I sure do!
