See You Again (Lyrics) – Carrie Underwood

These are the lyrics for See You Again, off Carrie Underwood’s album “Blown Away.”

[Verse 1:]

Said goodbye, turned around

and you were gone, gone, gone

Faded into the setting sun,

slipped away

but I won’t cry

Cause I know I’ll never be lonely

for you are the stars to me,

You are the light I follow

[Chorus]

I’ll See you again, oh

this is not where it ends

I will carry you with me, oh

till I see you again

Verse 2:

I can hear those echoes in the wind at night

Calling me back in time

Back to you

In a place far away 

where the water meets the sky

The thought of it makes me smile

You are my tomorrow

[Chorus]

I’ll See you again, oh

this is not where it ends

I will carry you with me, oh

till I see you again

[Bridge:]

Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking

But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know

I’ll see you again, oh

this is not where it ends

I will carry you with me, yeah yeah

[Outro]

I’ll See you again, oh

this is not where it ends

I will carry you with me, oh

till I see you again

Till I see you again,

Till I see you again,

Said goodbye turned around

and you were gone, gone, gone.

Two Black Cadillacs (Lyrics) – Carrie Underwood

 These are the lyrics for Two Black Cadillacs, off Carrie Underwood’s album “Blown Away.”

[Verse 1]

Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade

headlights shining bright in the middle of the day

One’s for his wife,

the other for the woman who loved him at night

Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time

[Chorus]

And the preacher said he was a good man

And his brother said he was a good friend

But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry

Bye, Bye

Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down

threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground

He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide

Bye bye, bye bye

[Verse 2:]

Two black cadillacs, two black cadillacs

Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone

Turns out he been lying to both of them for oh so long

They decided then he’d never get away for doing this to them

Two black cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time

[Chorus:]

And the preacher said he was a good man

And his brother said he was a good friend

But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry

Bye bye, Bye bye

Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down

threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground

He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Yeah yeah

[Bridge:]

It was the first time and last time they saw each other face to face

They shared a crimson smile and just walked away

And left the secret at the grave

[Chorus:]

And the preacher said he was a good man

And his brother said he was a good friend

But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry

Bye bye, Bye bye

Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down

threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground

He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Blown Away (Lyrics) – Carrie Underwood

 These are the lyrics for the single Blown Away, off Carrie Underwood’s new album of the same title.

[Verse 1:]

Dry lightning cracks across the skies

Those storm clouds gather in her eyes

Daddy was mean ole mister

Mama was an angel in the ground

The weather man called for a twister

She prayed blow it down

There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma

To wash the sins out of that house

There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma

To rip the nails out of the past

[Chorus]

Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,

Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away

till there’s nothing left standing,

nothing left of yesterday

every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Blown away

[Verse 2:]

She heard those sirens screaming out

Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch

She locked herself in the cellar

listened to the screaming of the wind

Some people called it taking shelter

She called it sweet revenge

[Chorus:]

Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,

Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away

till there’s nothing left standing,

nothing left of yesterday

every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Blown away

[Outro]

There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma

To wash the sins out of that house

There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma

To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window till it’s all blown away,

(blown away)

Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away

(flown away)

till there’s nothing left standing,

nothing left of yesterday

every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

The French Presidential Elections – Round One: How Lebanon Voted

As expected, both Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande advanced to the second round of the French presidential elections to be held on May 6th.

According to official results, Sarkozy got 26.1% of the votes while Hollande got 29%. The current polls show the Socialist Hollande leading Sakozy 54% to 46% for the second round. The shock of the night, however, was a huge score by the woman of the French “Front National” Marine Le Pen who managed to break the two-party dichotomy of France by getting 18% of the votes, according to the latest results.

Her score will come as a headache for the socialists who are deciding to round cloud nine up until May 6th. If Le Pen endorses Sarkozy, all bets are off.

But political analysis aside, here’s how the situation was in Lebanon yesterday. 15000 French people are registered to vote in Lebanon, out of which 51.5% voted. On top of the French residing in Lebanon, 1600 French residing in Syria are eligible to vote in Lebanon due to the situation in their country. Out of those, only 28% cast their ballots.

As a reminder, in 2007 Nicolas Sarkozy got 51.5% in the first round in Lebanon. This time, however, he got 54.47%, beating Hollande who only got 19.81%.

On the other hand, Marine Le Pen got 9% among French-Lebanese voters, almost double what her father managed in 2007 in Lebanon but still less than the result she got in France.

All foreign territoires put together have Sarkozy ahead of Hollande at 38% to 28.31%. Marine Le Pen came in fourth with 5.34%. The total participation in Lebanon is above the average for French expats, which settled at 40%.

Altogether, here’s yet another elections where Lebanese voters who hold a second nationality go with a right wing candidate.
