Hey diddle diddle

Hey diddle diddle

the cat and the fiddle

the cow jumped over the moon

the little dog laughed to see such fun

and the dish ran away with the sppon

(wasn't sure if this counted as a sond or nursery rhyme, but i love it!)

Deep, honey.. deep! :wink:

I love this song, one of my all time faves. :D

Aerosmith - Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

Far away and dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Well, every moment spent with you

Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you

Feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together

And I just wanna stay with you

In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile

I don't wanna miss one kiss

Well, I just wanna be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just wanna hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes

Don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

'Cause I'd still miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you, babe

And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes

Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah

I don't wanna miss a thing

And this one.

Sting & The Police - Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take

Every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

Ill be watching you

Every single day

Every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches

With every step you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I look around but its you I cant replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see

You belong to me

How my poor heart aches

With every breath you take

Every move you make

Every vow you break

Every smile you fake

Every claim you stake

Ill be watching you

Every move you make

Every step you take

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you...

Even though it sounds more like a stalker song than a ballad. :P

Resurrecting this thread...

Swing Out Sister - You On My Mind

Friends say I'll get over you soon

Thoughts of you come back to fill me with gloom

Time forgets but I'm not over you yet

There's no sense of asking why

Until the tears run dry

There's no one but you on my mind

Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never

find

If we could make it work this time

Years have flown by since you've been gone

This broken heart of mine's been waiting too

long

All alone without you I can't carry on

There's no sense of asking why

Until I'm there by your side

There's no one but you on my mind

Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never

find

If we could make it work this time

We could plant tomorrows dreams now together

In a garden to last forever more

All the flowers would grow

From the seeds we'd sow...

There's no one but you on my mind

Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never

find

If we could make it work this time

There's no sense of asking why

Until the tears run dry

I could be there by your side

If you would only change your mind

If we could make it work this time

An 80s classic that always hit home with me - teenage angst and broken hearts, etc!

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris:

Verse 1

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

Verse 2

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

Chorus

etc.....

That song is great! also Slide and betterdays both by The Goo Goo Dolls

i love the lyrics too this song at the moment MICHAEL TOLCHER - Sooner Or Later (Theme song of the TV show life as we know it) - I think

Pull the hair back from your eyes

Let the people see your pretty face

Try not to say anything weird

Save your questions without answers

'Til your old enough to know that things ain't as they appeared

Before you go out in the sun

Cover your skin and don't get burned

Beware the cancer, it might kill you when you're old

Be first in line, raise your hand

Remember everything you hear

And playing in the rain is worth catching cold

[Chorus]

Sooner or later

We'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening

And someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way

[Verse 2]

We only want what's best for you

That's why we tell you what to do

And nevermind if nothing makes sense

'Cause it all works out in the end

You're just like us without a friend

But you can build a privacy fence (Yeah)

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Somethings you have to learn them all on your own

You can't rely on anybody else

Or the point of view of a source unknown

If it feels good and sounds nice

Then it's your choice don't doubt yourself

Don't even think twice

Pull the hair back from your eyes

Let the people see your pretty face

You know they like it when you smile (Find a reason to smile)Try not to focus on yourself

Share that love with someone else

Don't let the bitters bring you down (Down)

Don't let anything bring you down

[Repeat chorus 'til fades out]

I love this song..I listen to it all the time!!

Butterfly Kisses by Westlife

There's two things I know for sure

She was sent here from heaven

And she's daddy's little girl

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes

And I thank God for all of the joy in my life

Oh but most of all for..

Butterfly kisses after bed time prayer

Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair

Walk beside the pony daddy; it's my first ride

I know the cake looks funny daddy

But I sure tried

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning

And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen today

She's looking like her mother a little more everyday

One part woman; the other part girl

To perfume and make up

From ribbons and curls

Trying her wings out in a great big world

But I remember..

Butterfly kisses after bed time prayer

Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair

You know how much I love you daddy

But if you don't mind

I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning

And butterfly kisses at night

She'll change her name today

She'll make a promise and I'll give her away

Standing in the bedroom just staring at her

She asked me what I'm thinking

And I said I'm not sure

I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl

She leaned over - gave me

Butterfly kisses with her mother there

Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair

Walk me down the aisle daddy; it's just about time

Does my wedding dress look pretty daddy?

Daddy don't cry

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have dont something right

To deserve a hug every morning

And butterfly kisses

a hug in the every morning

And butterfly kisses at night

Here's another weepie:

CAN'T STAY AWAY FROM YOU (Gloria M.Estefan)

Time flies

When you're having fun

I heard somebody say

But if all I've been is fun

Then baby let me go

Don't wanna be in your way

And I don't wanna be your second choice

Don't wanna be just your friend

You keep telling me that you're not in love

You wanna throw it all away

But I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

Hold on to every bit of hope, that's all I ever do

Hoping you might change your mind

And call me up to say how much you need

me too

And though you're leaving me no other choice

That to turn and walk away

Look over your shoulder, I'll be there

You can count on me to stay ...

'Cause I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

Favourite song/lyrics right now:

Over my head - Sum 41

What happened to you

You've played the victim for so long now in this game

What i thought was true

It's made of fiction and i'm following the same

But if I try

To make sense of this mess I'm in

I'm not sure where I should begin

I'm falling, I'm falling

Now I'm in over my head, for something i said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead.

And now I can see, how fake you can be

This hypocracy's beginning to get to me.

It's none of my concern

Why look to me because I don't believe in fame

I guess you never heard I've met our makers

They don't even know your name

But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell

I'd say my time has served me well

I'm falling

I'm falling

Now I'm in over my head, for something i said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead

And now I can see, how fake you can be

This hypocracy's beginning to get to

This came long before those who suffer more

I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

What's with my disgrace I lost the human race

No one plans for it to blow up in their face

Who said it was easy to put back all these pieces

Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces

Now I'm in over my head, with something I said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead

And now I can see, how fake you can be

This hypocracy's beginning to get to me

Over my head, better off dead

Over my head, better off dead

ALRIGHT

I like that song too, I first heard it on LAWKI, but later I also found out it was used in an episode of Scrubs.

One of my favourite songs is "Graduation song" by Vitamin C. It was my class' song when we graduated from junior high (we chose it together). I get soooo nostalgic when I hear it :P

Vitamin C - Graduation song

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives

Where we're gonna be when we turn 25

I keep thinking times will never change

Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back

No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down

These memories are playing like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of the night in June

I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon

And There was me and you, and then it got real blue

Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and

We would get so excited, we'd get so scared

Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair

And this is how it feels

Chorus:

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, from whatever

We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money

When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?

I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

And this is how it feels

*Repeat chorus*

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah

La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?

Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?

I guess I thought that this would never end

And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round

Will these memories fade when I leave this town

I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

*Repeat chorus x3*

A favourite of mine, dating back to the 80s:

Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon

There once was a time and there once was a way

We had something going and to my dismay

Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where

And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say

I bring up a topic and you push it away

You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care

Why do I feel you're using me

Are we an item or are we just two

I need some commitments all I ask of you

Your lifestyle can change

Don't be 'fraid what you think's in store

I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose

Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose

You won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more

So think about it carefully

Smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

Do you want to hustle?

Do you want to salsa?

Do you want to hustle?

Do you want to salsa?

If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be

There's no use in trying or making you see

That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about

To get things together won't take any pain

Don't need to see/hear from you ever again

From this day on listen but no more

Please count me out, and you know what I'm talkin' about

Smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I know now's the time that I went to find something new

You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too

EVANESCENCE

"Anywhere"

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me

And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free

I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you

And at sweet night, you are my own

Take my hand

[CHORUS:]

We're leaving here tonight

There's no need to tell anyone

They'd only hold us down

So by the morning light

We'll be half way to anywhere

Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I

No one knows who we are there

All I want is to give my life only to you

I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore

Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight

There's no need to tell anyone

They'd only hold us down

So by the mornings light

We'll be half way to anywhere

Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you now

[Chorus]

[silence]

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Fades out]

DELTA GOODREM

"Bare Hands"

I've got a question on my mind

You can answer in your time

Just don't freeze like a deer in the headlights

Sometimes it's the risk of getting hurt

That's beautiful and worse,

Is being numb feeling nothing at all

A little pain lets you know your alive

We gotta live and love not just survive

Hearts that don't love can't be broken

A dream stays a dream if not woken

If you never bleed then you won't understand

Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

I'm standing right in front of you

But you don't know what to do

It's the fear of thorns that keeps you out of the garden

Be brave, be the fool, you've never been

'cause i'll be here to kiss you skin

Melt me on the path where love could begin

Hearts that don't love can't be broken

A dream stays a dream if not woken

If you never bleed then you won't understand

Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

Make me feel i'm worth it

Don't love me with gloves on

Pick me roses roses with your bare hands

Make me feel i'm worth the scratches

Hearts that don't love can't be broken

A dream stays a dream if not woken

If you never bleed then you won't understand

Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

A little pain lets you know you're alive

We gotta live and love not just survive
