Erin's+Echoes

Philosophy Statement: I want to enjoy life and live it to the fullest that I can. I want to be able to believe in myself. I want to love, and I believe everyone can love and be loved.

The mirror can lie Doesn't show you what's inside And it, it can tell you you're full of life It's amazing what you can hide Just by //**puttin' on a smile**// (But you have to)

__//**Trust thyself**//__: I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear, why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? So live! Just live your life like tomorrow is a gift, Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift There is nothing perfect, there is only life.

I was myself within the circle I neither saw nor heard what the others might see and hear Cause now I **believe in me**

And as long as it's __okay with you__ I think I'll stay right here I got no where to go cause //where to go is up to you//, dear Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes Yes, it's a beautiful day, when I don't see any clouds
 * Hold you through the night** and watch that [|Colorado sunrise]

media type="youtube" key="PtS45bh_INY" height="344" width="425" Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go till we're gone

Love lifts us up where we belong but... I never knew how I [|should say my love] Love is difficult, but it's real when two hearts collide media type="youtube" key="jRehmX3zlwE" height="344" width="425"

Life is long, love is deep My life is for itself One life, even of smallest value, is most important One love, even of the smallest well is most important I want to live deep and love much

I am my own star, and now I believe in me I know that love is all you need And I'm living //my// life
