"I'll be over you"

"I'll be over you" was recorded by Toto in 1986 and Michael McDonald also participated in the recording. Whenever I heard this song I always thought it was Foreigner, I always used to get confused between these two. Not only does this song have a great tune, but the lyrics are really good too. It's just like a chocolate cake sometimes it's all about the icing and nothing but the icing , othertimes it's the combination of the two in equal tastiness and this is one of those examples. The lyrics fit perfectly with the tune.

I always loved the first verse of the song and the line "Some People's destiny Passes by" always made me think about Destiny and Fate. At first glance it contradicted what I believed in but then again not really. I think some people's destiny is the path they chose at present, if it passes us by and we pick another path , ultimately our destiny will find us. Fate on the other hand is the finality of events. Am I rambling on?Does that make sense. Anyway my point on this one is you got to have a bit of faith in the predetermined course of things in life.Whats meant to be is meant to be.. I don't just say this to feel better about my life.. I say this because I truly believe it. When you've done all you can do in any given situation and things just aint working out , it's just not your fate or destiny, it's just not meant to be ... enjoy the song :)

Lyrics:

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you
