todays song to best describe is I thinks rocket man ... sir Elton as I seem to be running around the house looking for things I thought id put somewhere safe (think we've all done that one in our time )
When the rain Is blowing in your face And the whole world Is on your case I could offer you A warm embrace To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows And the stars appear And there is no one there To dry your tears I could hold you For a million years To make you feel my love
I know you Haven't made Your mind up yet But I would never Do you wrong I've known it From the moment That we met No doubt in my mind Where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue and I'd go crawling Down the avenue You Know there's nothing That I wouldn't do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging On the rolling sea And on the highway of regret The winds of change Are blowing wild and free You ain't seen nothing Like me yet
I could make you happy Make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends Of the Earth for you To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love -------------- There is no better song that says the words I struggled to say. X
On the other hand, Pen, there are lines of poetry so evocative that they can't - or at least shouldn't - be accompanied by music. One such example is the second verse of A.E. Housman's "Blue Remembered Hills":
"That is the land of lost content,I see it shining plain,The happy highways where I wentAnd cannot come again."
How about this one, Pen, by Lord Byron...
"She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes."
This is by William Martin (coincidentally, the name of “The Man Who Never Was”). By his own admission, he’s not the greatest poet in the world - his website even has a link to rejection letters he’s received from publishers - so this work came as a pleasant surprise.
To See You Smile.I would wage war on the legions of RomeTravel the earth into places unknownMeet with the wise to help teach me the wayTo find you, and hold you, Hold you and stay...Just to see you smile...I would swim the depths of unknown seasFight through a bitter frozen breezeSeek out everything you would desireFind a way to light your heart afire...Just to see you smile...And when I see you smile it warms meBathes me in your lightAnd I know that any and everything I can do...Is right…It must be right...Because it makes you smileAnd when you smile...I feel like I have come alive...
You've got a mysterious and mischievious half-smile yourself on your profile photo. It's as though you're about to be identified as the leader of a gang responsible for coating restaurant lavatory seats with superglue.
You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it, it's all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service
Bonnie Tyler Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss And I turn And I dream of what I need. I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast
