Not a whole song just certain powerful lyrics that you like or mean something to you.

Sometimes the song my just ok but certain lyrics say something to you.

This lyric for me shows what the love of a family can do.

"Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name "


What are some of your favorite lyrics?

Always gives me chills.

Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret

David Gates---for his father...

I would give anything I own,
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again

reply

I can relate, my mum died in 1988.

reply

Yes, you never get over it. You go on, but, they come with you. I don't care. There is no other way.

I tried to tell my dad that at the end, when Cancer had had it's way with him. He didn't want to hear it, because he didn't want to cry in front me. I said it anyway, he held fast and I just didn't stop crying.

reply

I remember saying..rather declaring! that nothing would ever hurt me as much as my mum dying did. I miss her every day.
I lost my mum and both grandmothers within 3 months, 30 years ago yet I know people who are my age who still have grandparents! It's weird to me and I really resent it!

reply

Yes. Like you said "I miss her every day."

I think of my father & mother every day. I make a point of it. I hold a fantasy dear about going back just for a weekend when it was all there. Everything was there. They wouldn't know, but, I would. No angst about the weekend ending, just joy for the family as it was then. At the end I'd just wake up back here and I'd be rested and blessed.

Skeeter Davis - for her father...

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s The End of the World
Cause you don’t love me any more

reply

Finding love again

Your face in these pictures looks like a poem
Your eyes lit up like a river storm
Your body so much like a blanket thrown on a warm bed at night,
Like a house in the storm

reply

Every girl in that bar looked like nineteen sixty-five
With her sailor tattoos and her drawn-out eyes
Every now then she still crosses my mind
And by every now and then I mean most of the time
By every now and then I mean all of the time

reply

Shadows are fallin' and I'm runnin' out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while

Hold me in your thoughts
Take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes
Keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

reply

Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak
Again I touch the green, green grass of home

reply

Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years
