What is your favourite song lyric?

[Rodge2]

Mine is:

'And love's a raven when it flies'

From 'Meet Me On The Other Side', David Gray.

[ooh-la-la]

i'm the one. Love me, love me, love,

by kyile. I listen to that song everyday hoping it will come true one day :-(

[Dustybun]

as a complete lyric ~ Waiting in the Weeds - Eagles
but as a part lyric ~ He could Have Been an Army - Elkie Brooks. The part in the middle that goes

He was just a pair of eyes that looked as if they knew me
Till I began to realise he wasn't looking through me
And when he said Hello, it felt like silk and lace
And I was taken prisoner by the sweet smile on his face.
Right there I surrendered and I felt no disgrace . . . . . .

I'm an old lady now but it still does it for me!!

What a super thread. I joined in so I can come back and read thro some of the lyrics again. ?

Well, for what it's worth,here is mine.
I want this played at my funeral (sorry to be morbid).

Every Time We Say Goodbye
by Cole Porter

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
there's such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

When you're near
Theres such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time you say

I want this played at my funeral...
Joshua Radin - Winter

I should know
Who I am by now
I walk
The record stands somehow
Thinking of winter

Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait

And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait

The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out Winter

Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait

I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait

I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still

I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wait

[Rodge2]

I am taking the liberty of choosing another one, as I'm enjoying the posts so much.

'Remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise'

From 'Shine' - not sure who did it originally, but David Gray (who else??) covers it beautifully here.

I have been humming Canary42's song all day!!

[netibiza]

BOO - with sweet green icing melting down?? I think not :-)

[lardhelmet]

I hope you've put it in your wills what you want @ your funerals or you'll all end up with Jerusalem or Abide with Me!

[netibiza]

Sorry carabint, yes green icing is a bit depressing, but my send off will be great fun! in fact I may have it before I die, just so I can enjoy it and see what friends actually turn up!!!
