Baby you're so beautiful
And when i'm near you i can't
breathe
A girl like you gets what she wants
When she wants it
You're so out of my league
I show you no emotion
Don't let you see what you're doin'
to me
I Imagine the two of us together
But I've been livin' in reality
Fear of rejection, kept my love
inside
But time is running
So damn my foolish pride!
I don't care if you think i'm crazy
It doesn't matter if it turns out bad
I've got no fear of losin' you
You can't lose what you never had
Now i'm gonna confess that i love
you
I've been keepin' it inside feelin' i
could die
Now if you turn away baby that's
O.K.
At least we'll have a moment
Before you say goodbye
(you cant lose what you never had)
Rules are made for breakin'
Nothing' ventured nothin' gained
I'll be no worse off than i am right
now
And i might never get that chance
again
Fear of rejection, kept my love
inside
Told my heart I didn't want you but
i lied
I don't care if you think i'm crazy
It doesn't matter if it turns out bad
I've got no fear of losin' you
You can't lose what you never had
Now i'm gonna confess that i love
you
I've been keepin' it inside feelin' i
could die
Now if you turn away baby that's
O.K.
At least we'll have a moment
Before you say goodbye
Here on the outside lookin' in
Don't wanna stay dreamin'
bout what could have been
I need to hear you speak my name
Even if you shoot me down in
flames
I don't care if you think i'm crazy
It doesn't matter if it turns out bad
I've got no fear of losin' you
You can't lose what you never had
..I'm gonna confess that i love you
I've been keepin' it inside feelin' i
could die
Now if you turn away baby that's
O.K.
At least we'll have a moment
Before you say goodbye
(you can't lose what you never
had..3x)

Westlife - We Are One

Westlife - More Than Words
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear
from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me
how you feel
More than words is all you have to
do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that
you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart
was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those
words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and
make you understand
All you have to do is close your
eyes
And just reach out your hands and
touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed
you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that
you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart
was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those
words away
Then you couldn't make things new

Westlife - Miss You
I can't sleep, I just can't breathe
When your shadow is all over me,
baby
Don't wanna be, a fool in your eyes
'Cause what we had was built on
lies
And when our love seems to fade
away
Listen to me hear what I say
* I don't wanna feel the way that I
do
I just wanna be right here with you
I don't wanna see, see us apart
I just wanna say it straight from my
heart
(I miss you)/(Oh baby I miss you, I
do)/(I miss you, I miss you, I do)
What would it take for you to see
To make you understand that I'll
always believe
You and I, can make it through
And I still know, I can't get over you
** 'Cause when our love seems to
fade away
Listen to me hear what I say
[Repeat *]

Westlife - Seasons In The Sun
Goodbye to you my trusted friend,
We've known each other since
we're nine or ten,
Together we've climb hills and trees,
Learned of love and ABC,
Skinned our hearts and skinned our
knees.
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the
sky,
Now the spring is in the air,
Pretty girls are everywhere,
Think of me and I'll be there.
Chorus:
We had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed were
just seasons out of time.
Goodbye papa please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family,
You tried to teach me right from
wrong,
Too much wine and too much
song,
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye papa is hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the
sky,
Now the spring is in the air,
Little children everywhere,
When you see them I'll be there.
Chorus:repeat 2 times
Goodbye Michelle my little one,
You gave me love and helped me
find the sun,
And every time that I was down,
You would always come around,
And get my feet back on the
ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the
sky,
Now the spring is in the air,
With the flowers everywhere,
I wish that we could both be there.

Westlife - Change The World
Since you've gone,
well it seems like everything is
wrong,
And deep inside,
I know that i've,
lost much more than pride,
Well, happiness is getting further
away,
Girl,i miss you more than words
can say,
I need a miracle now,
so tell me,
How can i change the world,
Cause i sure can't change your
mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,
got to get to you somehow,
Cause i can't change the world,
I can't change the world,
No, i can't change the world,
I can't change the world,
Losing you,
well it's been the hardest thing to
do,
So, i close my eyes and tell myself,
that somehow i'll survive,
Well you gave me heaven,
then you took it away,
Girl, i miss you more with each
passing day,
i need a miracle now,
so tell me...
How can i change the world,
(change it)
Cause i sure can't change your
mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,
got to get to you somehow,
And baby,
so sad that you have to leave me,
just so you can find yourself,
And it's so sad that you just can't
see,
I love you more than life itself,
No, i can't change the world,

mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,

Westlife - I Don't Wanna Fight
I can't sleep
everything I ever knew
is a lie without you
I can't breathe
when my heart is broke in two
there's no beat, without you
You're not gone, but you're not here
instead that's the way it seems
tonight
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
Cause baby...
*Chorus:
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
so I'm hoping we can start tonight
cause I don't wanna fight
NO MORE...
How can I live
When everything that I adore
And everything I'm living for
Girl it's in you
I can't dream
Sleepless nights have got me bad
The only dream I ever had
Is being with you
I know that we can make it right
It's gonna take a little time
Lets not leave ourselves with no
way out
Lets not cross that line
Chorus
Remember that I made a vow that I
would
never let you go
I mean it then I mean it now and I
want to tell you so
Chorus x2
it's a lie without you
Without you
everything I ever knew
is a lie without you
I can't breathe
when my heart is broke in two
there's no beat, without you
You're not gone, but you're not here
instead that's the way it seems
tonight
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
Cause baby...
*Chorus:
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
so I'm hoping we can start tonight
cause I don't wanna fight
NO MORE...
How can I live
When everything that I adore
And everything I'm living for
Girl it's in you
I can't dream
Sleepless nights have got me bad
The only dream I ever had
Is being with you
I know that we can make it right
It's gonna take a little time
Lets not leave ourselves with no
way out
Lets not cross that line
Chorus
Remember that I made a vow that I
would
never let you go
I mean it then I mean it now and I
want to tell you so
Chorus x2

Without you

Westlife - Fool Again
Baby, I know the story
I've seen the picture
It's written all over your face
Tell me, what's the secret
That you've been hiding
Who's gonna take my place
I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my
friend
How was I to know
You never told me
Baby, you should've called me
When you were lonely
When you needed me to be there
Sadly, you never gave me two
many chances
To show how much I care
I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my
friend
How was I to know
You never told me
About the pain and the tears
Oh, Oh, Oh
If I could, I would
Turn back the time
I should've seen it coming
I should have read the signs
Anyway...I guess it's over
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
I thought this love would never end
How was I to know
You never told me
Can't believe that I'm the fool again
And I who thought you were my

Westlife - Flying Without Wings
Everybody's looking for a
something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their
children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special
thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or
cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much it
means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you
let go
Would have made you complete
Well, for me it's waking up beside
you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you
mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without
And in this place I long to be
You'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their
children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special
thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or
cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much it
means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you
let go
Would have made you complete
Well, for me it's waking up beside
you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you
mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without
And in this place I long to be
You'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

Sultan Butuni, Pemimpin Orang Buton
Selama ini, Pulau Buton lebih dikenal sebagai pulau penghasil aspal. Padahal di luar hasil bumi itu, pulau ini memiliki “harta karun” nan dasyat. Yakni, jejak arkeologis berupa benteng-benteng yang nyaris mengepung seluruh pulau dan sejarah panjang Kesultanan Butuni.
Pulau Buton adalah pulau benteng. Karena, bangunan yang menjadi basis pertahanan militer tersebut tersebar di banyak tempat. Sehingga, pulau tersebut kerap disebut sebagai “Negeri Seribu Benteng” atau “castle in town”. Karena, kota-kota penting di pulau itu hampir dikelilingi benteng-benteng – mirip konsep tata ruang negeri Jerman yang dikelilingi benteng-benteng. Namun, dunia pariwisata kerap “memaksa” wisatawan yang berkunjung ke daerah itu hanya mengenal Benteng Keraton Wolio. Ini bisa dimaklumi, karena benteng itu merupakan simbol kejayaan Kesultanan Butuni, sekaligus sebagai satu-satunya bukti sejarah yang masih terawat.
Benteng Keraton Wolio dibangun sejak masa pemerintahan Sultan Buton ke-3 La Sangaji pada abad ke-15. Dan, bangunan itu benar-benar rampung pada masa pemerintahan Sultan Buton ke-6 La Buke pada 1634. Keunikan bangunannya; bila dilihat dari atas, dengan bangunan sebelas selatan sebagai kepalanya, maka akan memnentuk huruf “dal” – huruf ke delapan pada alfabet bahasa Arab atau huruf terakhir nama Baginda Rasulallah Muhammad saw. Pintu benteng (lawa) berjumlah 12, yang bermakna jumlah lubang pada tubuh manusia.Atau, bisa juga bermakna 12 lokasi yang dipilih oleh Tuhan, untuk mendapatkan tanah pembentuk Nabi Adam As. Bastion (kubu pengawas) berjumlah 16. Tapi, sumber lain menyebutkan 17 – jumlah rakaat dalam shalat selama sehari. Angka-angka itu tidak muncul secara kebetulan. Tapi, perancang pembangunan benteng memang menyiapkannya secara khusus, untuk memberikan gambaran adanya nilai tasawuf dalam pemerintahan Kesultanan Butuni. Sekaligus monumen bagi rakyatnya, untuk terus memahami dan mengamalkan akhlak mulia yangbersandarkan ajaran Ilmu Tasawuf tersebut.
Dulu, Benteng Keraton Wolio menjadi pusat kegiatan pemerintahan, ekonomi, sosial, dan syiar Islam. Selain itu, bagian dalam benteng juga menjadi lokasi pemukiman. Hal itu memungkinkan, karena benteng memiliki lahan yang luas, yakni sekitar 400.000 m² dan dikelilingi benteng sepanjang 2740 m. Tinggi temboknya 2-8 m dan lebar 1-2 m.
Pulau Buton di masa silam adalah Kerajaan Hindu dengan I Wa Kaa Kaa sebagai raja pertamanya. Saat itu, nama Pulau Buton telah diperhitungkan dan tercatat dalam sejarah pelayaran nusantara. Terbukti, Kitab Negara Kertagama karangan Mpu Prapanca menuliskan keberadaan Pulau Buton. Kerajaan Buton berubah menjadi Kesultanan Butuni, setelah Raja Buton ke-6 Timbang Timbangan atau Lakilaponto atau Halu Oleo menjadi muslim dan berganti nama menjadi Sultan Murhum Kaimuddin Khalifatul. Pengisalaman ini merupakan buah kehadiran Ahli Ilmu Tasawuf asal Negeri Gujarat Syekh Abdul Wahid bin Syarif Sulaiman Al-Fathani di Pulau Buton.
Wajah Islam di lingkungan kesultanan makin berbinar, setelah sang syekh pun menanamkan ajaran tasawuf pada sultan dan keluarganya. Sehingga, pemahaman mereka akan Islam benar-benar makin kokoh. Buah terindah dari bibit ajaran soal penyucian akhlak oleh Syekh Abdul Wahid dan Sultan Murhum Kaimuddin adalah diterbitkannya UUD Martabat Tujuh sebagai undang-undang tertinggi di negeri itu. Perancang UUD tersebut adalah Sultan Butuni ke-6 Dayanu Ikhsanuddin.
Kekayaan ajaran tasawuf di setiap sendi kehidupan Kesultanan Butuni juga diperlihatkan manuskrip-manuskrip kuno, yang disimpan seorang warga Benteng Keraton Mulia, Muzaji Mulki. Seluruh manuskrip bertuliskan huruf Arab namun isinya menggunakan Bahasa Arab,Wolio, dan Melayu. Bahasa Melayu muncul dalam manuskrip, karena Syekh Abdul Wahid lama bermukim di Johor, Malaysia. Bahkan, penyebar Islam atau guru-guru yang berdatangan ke pulau tersebut setelah Syekh Abdul Wahid umumnya berasal dari Negeri Jiran.
Namun, yang harus dicatat dengan tinta emas adalah kehadiran UUD Martabat Tujuh. Karena, hal itu sama artinya, Kesultanan Butunitelah menempatkan ajaran tasawuf sebagai pijakan utama. Sehingga, mereka bukan lagi berada di wilayah syariat – seperti yang saat ini ramai diterapkan di berbagai daerah di tanah air. Namun, mereka justru telah berada di wilayah tarekat! Dengan UUD Martabat Tujuh, Kesultanan Butuni membangun tata kehidupan yang demokratis dan bertanggungjawab. Bahkan, jabatan sultan pun bukan dicapai karena trah semata. Tapi, ia merupakan orang yang dipilih oleh Anggota Dewan (patalimbona) karena kemampuan dan akhlaknya. Karena persoalan akhlak, seorang sultan bisa dilengserkan bila kedapatan melakukan pelanggaran.
Selain itu, tata cara pengaturan pemerintahan, pengambilan keputusan, dan hubungan sosial antarwarga atau dengan negeri lain, semuanya atas dasar akhlak mulia. Bukan untuk menimbulkan masalah. Tapi, memang ditujukan untuk kesejahteraan dan keselamatan seluruh rakyat. Sehingga, sang sultan bertanggungjawab penuh atas situasi lahir-batin seluruhya warganya. Ia juga sadar bahwa kelak Allah swt akan meminta pertanggungjawaban atas kepemimpinannya.
Pimpinan atau pejabat apa pun di masa itu biasanya akan melakukan sujud syukur ketika tugasnya berakhir. Jadi, bukan ketika ia terpilih atau diangkat. Hal ini merupakan cermin, tugas atau jabatan adalah amanah, hingga harus dilakukan dengan penuh tanggungjawab. Setelah selesai dan dianggap berhasil, maka merasa perlu untuk berterima kasih kepadaNya.
Pulau Buton adalah pulau benteng. Karena, bangunan yang menjadi basis pertahanan militer tersebut tersebar di banyak tempat. Sehingga, pulau tersebut kerap disebut sebagai “Negeri Seribu Benteng” atau “castle in town”. Karena, kota-kota penting di pulau itu hampir dikelilingi benteng-benteng – mirip konsep tata ruang negeri Jerman yang dikelilingi benteng-benteng. Namun, dunia pariwisata kerap “memaksa” wisatawan yang berkunjung ke daerah itu hanya mengenal Benteng Keraton Wolio. Ini bisa dimaklumi, karena benteng itu merupakan simbol kejayaan Kesultanan Butuni, sekaligus sebagai satu-satunya bukti sejarah yang masih terawat.
Benteng Keraton Wolio dibangun sejak masa pemerintahan Sultan Buton ke-3 La Sangaji pada abad ke-15. Dan, bangunan itu benar-benar rampung pada masa pemerintahan Sultan Buton ke-6 La Buke pada 1634. Keunikan bangunannya; bila dilihat dari atas, dengan bangunan sebelas selatan sebagai kepalanya, maka akan memnentuk huruf “dal” – huruf ke delapan pada alfabet bahasa Arab atau huruf terakhir nama Baginda Rasulallah Muhammad saw. Pintu benteng (lawa) berjumlah 12, yang bermakna jumlah lubang pada tubuh manusia.Atau, bisa juga bermakna 12 lokasi yang dipilih oleh Tuhan, untuk mendapatkan tanah pembentuk Nabi Adam As. Bastion (kubu pengawas) berjumlah 16. Tapi, sumber lain menyebutkan 17 – jumlah rakaat dalam shalat selama sehari. Angka-angka itu tidak muncul secara kebetulan.

Raja Pop Michael Jackson Sakit Keras
NEW YORK, SABTU--Michael Jackson, 50 tahun, dilaporkan menderita penyakit paru-paru yang dapat berakibat fatal, laporan berita menyatakan.
"Raja Pop" itu menderita defisiensi antitrypsin Alpha 1, yakni penyakit genetik yang langka, kata laporan yang belum dikonfirmasi, sambil menambahkan ia kemungkinan akan menjalani pencangkokan paru-paru.
"Ia telah menderita penyakit ini selama bertahun-tahun, namun penyakitnya bertambah parah," kata Ian Halperin, pengarang buku mengenai Jackson, kepada majalah In Touch,seperti dilaporkan DPA.
"Ia membutuhkan pencangkokan paru-paru, namun ia boleh jadi terlalu lemah untuk menjalaninya ... Namun masalah yang paling beratadalah perdarahan pada usus besarnya. Itu dapat membunuhnya."
Jacko, demikian penyanyi itu dikerap dipanggil, yang terkenal berkat hitnya "Thriller" dan "Bad", hampir tak mampu berkata-kata dan mata kirinya nyaris buta.
Kehidupan Jacko kini mirip 'pertapa', karena ia jarang tampil di depan umum. Beberapa pekan lalu, ia difoto di Los Angeles, mengenakan topeng gaya Zorro.
Kakaknya, Jermaine Jackson, mengemukakan kepada saluran televisi FOX News :"Ia kurang sehat".
