Your earnest eyes Cannot...will not...lie They speak the truth With every look In their depths...a message The truth: You long with me to...lie Eileen Manassian Ghali One of my favorite songs ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNZV2C5bpmA

Good one, was it Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez that sang Your Lips don't Lie?

Are you sure its lips don't lie or hips don't lie? If its the hips don't lie then it is none other than Shakira who is part Lebanese, by the way...and day belly dance like mad!!! :)

Oh sweetie...you probably already know it. Snow Patrol...chasing cars! "If I lay here, if I just lay here....will you lie with me and just forget the world....Forget what we're told, before we get too old, show me a garden that's bursting into life." If those words are not heavenly....I don't know what is! HUGS!!!!
