Then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me, written by an Italian poet from the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin' coal, pourin' off of every page lLike it was written in my soul from me to you, tangled up in blue.
Well, now, that depends on several different factors.

Swimming in the river, swimming in the sea I go swimming I go swimming, swimming in the water Swimming in the pool, swimming is cool I go swimming
The sun is burning, I am yearning For the waterflow (waterflow) Next to my skin I, like to begin a Waterflow (waterflow) Letting off steam I float in a dream, I can't let go (can't let go) Follow my wishes, follow the fishes Down below (down below) I go swimming
I need water, water to drink Water on my brain, water sustain, Water over me I want water, water I need Water to think, water to drink Water over me

I know I've used this song before, but it's so scrumptious!
Baby, baby Where did our love go? Oh, don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more I've got this burning, yearning yearning feeling inside me Oh, deep inside me And it hurts so bad
You came into my life So tenderly With a burning love That stings like a bee And now that I've surrendered So helplessly You know I believe You want to leave me
Oh, baby baby Where did our love go Oh, don't you leave me Oh, baby baby Where did our love go? Oh don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more
You came into my life So tenderly With a burning love That stings like a bee And now that I've surrendered So helplessly You know I believe You want to leave me
BABY, BABY Where did our love go? Oh, baby baby Don't you leave me no more I've got this burning, burning yearning feeling inside me Deep inside me And it hurts so bad
Baby, baby Where did our love go? Don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more And now that I've surrendered so helplessly You know, I believe you want to leave me
Baby, baby I'm taken with the notion To love you with the sweetest of devotion.
Baby, baby My tender love will flow from The bluest sky to the deepest ocean.
Stop for a minute Baby, I'm so glad you're mine, yeah You're mine.
Baby, baby The stars are shining for you And just like me I'm sure that they adore you.
Baby, baby Go walking through the forest The birds above a' singing you a chorus.
Stop for a minute Baby, they're so glad you're mine, oh yeah And ever since the day you put my heart in motion Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you.
Taking a page out of slb's book and trying for two words:
They say for every boy and girl, There's just one love in this old world, And I, I kn-ow, I, I, I've found mine. The heavenly touch of your embrace, Tells me no one will take your place, A, A, A, A, ever in my heart.
Chorus: YOUNG LOVE, first love, Filled with true devotion, Young love, our love, We share with deep emotion.
Just one kiss from your sweet lips, Will tell me that your love is real, And I, I, I can fe-el that it's true. We will vow to one another, There will never be another, Lo-ve for you, or for me.
Chorus: Young love, first love, Filled with true devotion, Young love, our love, We share with deep emotion.

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone You know I feel okay When I'm home everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright
If the pauses or phrases are in the wrong place, the innuendos in that song can be very amusing. I remember seeing Peter Sellers doing this number whilst dressed as a vicar in a pulpit. It was hilarious.
Well, Im gonna ride a sabertooth horse Through the hollywood hills Just dont show me anything cos thats the way I feel Well, I dig the dirt an I dig the dust I barbecue my meals
Ridin wild on a paisley dragon Through the hollywood hills, yeah... Huh, hollywood hills
Passion dripping from the coyotes eyes He can taste his blood An blood never lies Pale face die

who the heck sang this song?? I remember it from when I was very young and I loved to sing it while swinging at the playground.
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound
Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name cause there aint no one for to give you no pain La, la ...
After two days in the DESERT sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead
You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name cause there aint no one for to give you no pain La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love
You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, ’this could be heaven or this could be hell’ Then she lit up a [glow=red,2,300]candle [/glow]and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the hotel california Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, ’please bring me my wine’ He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’ And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california Such a lovely place Such a lovely face They livin’ it up at the hotel california What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’ And in the master’s chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before ’relax,’ said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave!

And oh, one day I was driving Betsy to school and "Turn, Turn, Turn" began to play and I reached over to turn up the volume and told her the lyric was based on a chapter of the Bible, which she thought was 'way too cool, Mom!'
But I digress.
Here's my offering:When you light those candles Up there on that mantle, setting the mood Well, I just lie there staring Silently preparing to love on you Well, I can feel the heat from across the room Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do
I melt every time you look at me that way It never fails, anytime, any place This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt I melt
Don't know how you do it I love the way I lose it, every time What's even better Is knowing that forever you're all mine The closer you get, the more my body aches One little stare from you is all it takes
I melt every time you look at me that way It never fails, anytime, any place This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt I melt
I melt every time you look at me that way It never fails, anytime, any place This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt I melt
Every time you look at me that way I melt, I melt....

Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light Silently flows the water to the sea And the barges do go merrily
Chorus: Barges I would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with PIRATES brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light Starboard shines green and port is glowing red I can see the barges far ahead.
Chorus
How my heart longs to sail away with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue. But I must stay beside my window dear, As I watch you sail away from here.
Okay, and here's silly words that the camp leaders taught us:
(I can't remember them very well) Chorus: Counselors, I would like to go with you I would like to raid the icebox, too Counselors, you are looking very old Do you fight with Boy Scouts brave and bold
forget...forget...forget silently flows the water from the john and the counselors' fight goes on and on
The Pirate Song Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Bloodthirstiest, black-heartiest pirate captain ever sailed the seven seas, ha, ha, ha! What say ye we hoist the Jolly Roger, heel over the yonder Spanish galleon.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

(Captain) You want to sing and dance, heh! You don't like plundering, aye? Well, shiver me timbers 'ow 'bout treasuring, huh? Rubies, emeralds and pearls, gold doubloons and British sovereigns. Silver chalices encrusted with diamonds and jewels, necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size, fit for the crown heads of Europe, aye? And all buried in a pirate's chest and I just happen to know where. How about that me bloodthirsty buckos, heh? Ha, ha, ha!

(Twit) I don't like it.....
(Captain) And you don't want no treasurin' ah?.....
(Twit) I don't want it.....
(Captain) And you probably don't want no groggin' and revelin' and wenchin' and rummin' either I suppose?
(Twit) Well, deep down....you want to know the truth? It's not me, I don't want it.....
(Captain) Well, what do you want...as if I didn't already bleedin' know?
(Twit) I want to sing and dance and.....

(Chorus in pirates' voices) (Chorus )I want to sing and dance, I want to sing and dance I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance Wear me silver-buckled slippers and me tight shiny pants I want to sing and dance
(Over chorus, you hear the Captain and twit's voice say) (Twit) I like it....I like it
(Captain) I kinda like it me own self
(Twit) Thought you would
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
(Twit) I don't like rum...
(Captain) You don't like rum?
(Twit) Well no, actually...well, I might like a little Perrier
(Captain) A little Perrier?

(Twit) Maybe a croissant!...Is that right? Those French make everything so hard! Why didn't they just call it a bun?
(fade out)
Grizzy and I are forever saying that 'Well, what DO ya want....as if I didn't already bleedin' KNOW.....'
And it never fails to make us laugh, so this is a personal favorite.
AND I could have chosen a much much more difficult word to find than 'diamonds,' when you read all these words, yes??
"And she sings the songs without words...songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard...She knows more of love than the poets can say...and her eyes are for something that won't go away...."
Some Days Are Diamonds John Denver When You asked how I've been here without you I'd like to say I've been fine and I do. But we both know the truth is hard to come by And if I told the truth, that's not quite true Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones.
Now the face that I see in my mirror More and more is a stranger to me More and more I can see there's a danger In becoming what I never thought I'd be Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't [glow=yellow,2,300]leave [/glow]me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones.
Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely You wont believe me but I love you only Id rather be lonley than happy with somebody else

Can I forgive without forgetting? A sea of tears that wouldn't wash away the pain The well is poisoned, can things ever be the same How can I Iet you touch me, let you love me? The scars are still there From what you've done to us
Why did you hurt me? What was missing between us? Where did I go wrong? I've been waiting for the reasons. Should I forgive you?
I can't believe - that through it all That I can't forget that I have always loved you But you expect too much To want me to forgive without forgetting All that you've done to us And now you're telling me This time you want to stay with me Every minute every day
Was going to post "Southern Cross" but I am SURE it's been used here a time or two...since there's several of us who love it. I know, I know, I could scroll through and check it for myself, but I. don't. want. to.
So, I give you a particularly lovely one....the musicians (anyone else like Alan Parsons Project??) were so talented they made the music truly sound like water. I feel a lot of stress just melt and run off into that water every time I hear this one...
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
Till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends (goodbye my love) Maybe for forever Goodbye my friends (who knows when we shall meet again) The stars wait 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

There are times when I just want to look at your face With the stars in the night There are times when I just want to feel your embrace In the cold night
I just cant believe that you are mine now You were just a dream that I once knew I never thought I would be right for you I just cant compare you with anything in this world You're all I need to be with forevermore
All those years, I've LONGED to hold you in my arms I've been dreaming of you Every night, I've been watching all the stars that fall down Wishing you would be mine
Time and again There are these changes that we cannot end As sure as time keeps going on and on My love for you will be forevermore
Wishing you would be mine I just cant believe that you are mine now
You were just a dream that I once knew I never thought I would be right for you I just cant compare you with anything in this world As endless as forever Our love will stay together You're all I need to be with forever more (As endless as forever our love will stay together) You're all I need To be with forevermore...

With the days of youth gone, now prey to decadence, And haunting memories of unfulfilled advance, The yearning will be trapped by the day’s circumstance. Who not wished to the fickle gods above, perchance, For a season to rekindle the tender dance? Who not loved, lost and not longed for another chance?
Anyone else love "Eddie and the Cruisers" as much as I do???
When the moon hung soft and low, Catchin' stardust in the light You held me closer and closer There was magic in the night
A sweet love song, a melody that I still can recall Two young hearts filled with dreams To walk away with it all
Whoa, whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go, tender years
A summer love, a beach romance Sought her kisses in the sand Two young hearts filled with fire Lost in never-neverland.
Whoa, whoa tender years Won't you wash away my tears How I wish you were here Please don't go, tender years

Have we lost interest in this game?
I know a place where dreams are born And time is never planned It's not on any chart You must find it in your heart Never never land It may be miles beyond the moon Or right there where you stand Just keep an open mind And then suddenly you'll find Never never land You'll have a treasure if you stay there More precious far than gold For once you have found your way there You will never, never grow old And that's my home where dreams are born And time is never planned Just think of pleasant things And your heart will fly on wings, forever in Never never land
