what are some of your favorite song lyrics? why?

I like the lyrics to this song by Dionne Warwick, which I did not know (most of them) until today



Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So, remember, if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you

[Chorus]
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still, it gets me down
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry

[Chorus]

(If you break my heart, if you break my heart)

I can hardly wait for the day when we say, 'I do'
It's a day I dreamed of so long now, comin' true
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise, the angels will see


I guess I like the lyrics because it mentions sin and stuff... so Catholic of me, I know.. But anyhow.. I'll find some others I like

[Rambunctious]

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two, a movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river to the sea
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friend
(Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
(Who knows when
We shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever now
Forevermore, forevermore

Your problem is you have a Frail Grasp on the Big Picture.

My newest favorite set of lyrics are done right here.



God bless you and the beautiful precious masterpiece of a singer always!!!

Holly (a girl who wishes that she had discovered him sooner)

 

[Thunk]

All time favorite...

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye...

I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now...

The child is grown...the dream is gone.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

“We become the enemy, when freedom dies for security”, from the song “When Freedom Dies” by Nuclear assault. Why? It’s self-explanatory.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

To me, this is one of Kenny Chesney's best songs if not the best.



God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

That was funny... I almost spit my coffee all over my desk....

I doubt there's any relation... seriously, seriously doubt it..

yeh, that's a good song about the excesses of a rock star's life

someone had to tell the young ones among us that it isn't all its cracked up to be (so maybe htey won't resent their more ordinary lives)
