How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Joan Osborne lyrics

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night,
wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore,
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I've been to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

[Repeat and fade:]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Damn woman! You're trying to ruin my innocence :P

That was chock-o-block full of pretty man flesh. YOWZA!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

ahem? My reigning queen of almighty, OMGSOHAWT pilot!smut is trying to say that I am ruining HER innocence? yeah, not buying that one--sorry darling!

It was full of pretty manflesh though. Yummmmm.

[latteaddict.livejournal.com]

LOL, well, you see I'm not into slash at all and I'm not actually into porn either. Pilots are the only thing that's ever made me read or write smut (and from there it extended to Helo, Sam and Leoben). So yeah...I'm pretty sure I blushed a few times while watching this vid :) (and no laughing at me!)

You did an excellent and very believable job at showing the Lee/Sam longing and lurve.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I sympathize--I never read/watched/created smut until my first fandom. Oh the crazy things that being a fangirl will do to your brain!

thank you darling! I appreciate you watching and commenting so much And don't worry--it'll be back to good old fashioned pilots very soon, I think I've gotten all the boyslash out of my system for the time being :)

[supershineygirl.livejournal.com]

Heehee, loved the intercut shots of Sam and then Lee in bed.

Mmmmpretty boys.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

dude--I would have made the entire video out of intercut shots of half-nekkid Sam and Lee if there was enough footage with matching lighting! *sighs* I'm still very happy with the number of clips that I did manage to smash together all slashy like. Yummy, pretty boys...

[anno-superstar.livejournal.com]

yay for lee/anders love :D

[jedisam.livejournal.com]

LOL! that was so great. SO silly Sam/Lee. They really need to get together now that Dee is out of the picture!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Totally! None of this business with Sam tomcatting around with Seelix and Tory--doesn't he see that Lee is just unbelievably hawt and full of perfect angsty sexiness? If you're going to sleep around to grieve for your wife, do it with the OTHER insanely hot pilot!

[nebakanezer]

I was actually listening to Joan yesterday and now I think these two might come to mind from now on. LOL You have a way of making it all seem so logical and giving a whole new meaning to their looks. Great job making the vid and lots of prettiness to look at! :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

hehe, thanks darling. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to completely rewrite their history to its more crackish potential, or if I wanted to keep it more realistic and about the canon development of their understanding/connection--so it ended up with a bit of both. But this song has been stuck in my head for several days and I kept seeing their scenes from Son Also Rises, so I had to do something about it ;)

I finished it in the middle of the night (stupid insomnia, grrrrr), and I still can't believe I convinced Sam to check it over for me, or you would have been on the receiving end of some sleep-deprived beta request emails this morning :) Hopefully I don't get to crazy excited over Lost tonight and still manage to go to sleep at a decent hour!

[nebakanezer]

I was thinking that maybe you just dont need me anymore ;) hehe. But when watching it, there really wasn't anything that I could think that wasn't perfect. :) I'm always up way too late so chances are you could catch me. That is totally funny that Sam was your beta! Awesome. :)

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on LOST. I'm still reeling so I cant quite get my head around it, but man it BLEW MY MIND!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Never fear darling! I will always need you :) Sam was helpful, but you know the show much more intimately so your feedback and suggestions are more constructive.

And LOST OMG. I think I may to write a separate post/email to you just about that. Out the window and fell down 8 frakkin stories, holy shit! And I haven't really shipped Jack/Kate in a while but that scene in the game room was just AMAZING. gahhhhh.

[nebakanezer]

Never fear darling! I will always need you :)

Aw, I feel the love :)

I've never really shipped Jack and Kate, (I dont ship Kate and Sawyer either really) but YES that scene, WOW, *swoon* I actually paused it to study the icon possibilities ;)

[nekdlove.livejournal.com]

A video of two of the most beautiful men in the 'verse, you know I loved it. I particularly liked the last few shots :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Tag, you're it! I provided a hawt slashy manflesh vid, now I believe you mentioned something about a bachelorette party with half-nekkid pilot strippers...

[illiriahrising.livejournal.com]

Ok, I never really gave much thought to Lee/Anders slash before but holy frak, after this vid I am sure to be thinking about it a lot! Lovely job of editing the half naked scenes together and the sequence of Lee & Sam in the bar giving the longing looks was just pure genius.

If only we could get this pairing on the show...sigh.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

I never gave Lee/Anders much consideration before either until "Son Also Rises", and then the subtext started beating me over the head. I think RDM said something in his podcast about how Lee and Sam "gravitate towards one another in their mutual mourning"...and it was all downhill towards slash-land from there :)

Thank you--I'm so glad the editing for the bunk and bar scenes worked out well. (And I'll be looking forward to your next vid--BSG or otherwise...*hint hint*)

[estel_sparks]

HAHAHA. Wow. That was all kinds of fantastic. Especially the bunk shots - and not just because of the men in them, though that definitely helps - nicely edited. One could almost swear that the Lee/Anders love affair were real. :D

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

One could almost swear that the Lee/Anders love affair were real

Hehe, I think that's the best compliment I could ever get for an unconventional slash pairing--thank you!

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

Wow! You've blinded me with the hotness! That was really excellent. I've been wanting to see a good Lee/Anders video for a while now, and you totally delivered! Thank you! :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Anders/Lee is pretty amazingly hot, isn't it? Couldn't resist ;)

[beerbad.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeeeeeeee. :) Great job!!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks A! It was entirely too much fun to make...sometimes the slash just takes over my brain!

[zefire2.livejournal.com]

Really, are the directors passing Bamber and Trucco secret notes of ' ___ loves Kara but he also like-likes ___ too.'? I mean really? Is there an episode where they interact and there isn't a '... wait, since when does Lee like men?' moment?

And somehow we were ever supposed to buy Lee/Dee...

This made me all giggly like most good Lee/Sam does.
