    I haven't got all the words for this song - it was a very long time ago - but 'If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you ......' It was Please Stay and the group's name has escaped me for now.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    It has just come to my mind ....... the Cryin' Shames. Way back in time but great days!!

    There are so many; this thread is unfair! :P

    I'll go with this but tomorrow I'll have changed my mind and then the next day and the next etc etc...

    Edward McCain - I'll be:

    The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
    Stop me and steal my breath.
    And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
    Never revealing their depth.
    Tell me that we belong together,
    Dress it up with the trappings of love.
    I'll be captivated,
    I'll hang from your lips,
    Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

    I'll be your crying shoulder,
    I'll be love's suicide
    I'll be better when I'm older,
    I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

    I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black.

    Kathy's Song by Simon and Garfunkel


    And so you see I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.


    Verse 5 in particular is beautiful IMO.
    :) So it is. Perfect.
    I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black.

    :eek: Please tell me that is not a real song lyric.

    My favourite romantic lyrics ever are 'Beeswing' by Richard Thompson. Probably too long for anyone to read, but if anyone does bother, they tell a whole poignant, bitter-sweet, thoughtful life story.
    I was nineteen when I came to town
    They called it the Summer of Love
    They were burning babies, burning flags
    The hawks against the doves

    I took a job in the steamie
    Down on Cauldrum Street
    And I fell in love with a laundry girl
    Who was working next to me


    Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
    So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
    She was a lost child, oh she was running wild
    She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
    And you wouldn't want me any other way"


    Brown hair zig-zag around her face
    And a look of half-surprise
    Like a fox caught in the headlights
    There was animal in her eyes

    She said, "Young man, oh can't you see
    I'm not the factory kind
    If you don't take me out of here
    I'll surely lose my mind"


    Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
    So fine that I might crush her where she lay
    She was a lost child, she was running wild
    She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
    And you wouldn't want me any other way"


    We busked around the market towns
    And picked fruit down in Kent
    And we could tinker lamps and pots
    And knives wherever we went

    And I said that we might settle down
    Get a few acres dug
    Fire burning in the hearth
    and babies on the rug


    She said "Oh man, you foolish man
    It surely sounds like hell
    You might be Lord of half the world
    You'll not own me as well"


    Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
    So fine a breath of wind might blow her away
    She was a lost child, oh she was running wild
    She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay
    And you wouldn't want me any other way"


    We was camping down the Gower one time
    The work was pretty good
    She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost
    And I thought maybe we should

    We was drinking more in those days
    And tempers reached a pitch
    And like a fool I let her run
    With the rambling itch


    Oh the last I heard she's sleeping rough
    Back on the Derby beat
    White Horse in her hip pocket
    And a wolfhound at her feet

    And they say she even married once
    A man named Romany Brown
    But even a gypsy caravan
    Was too much settling down


    And they say her flower is faded now
    Hard weather and hard booze
    But maybe that's just the priceYou pay
    for the chains you refuse


    Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing
    And I miss her more than ever words could say
    If I could just taste all of her wildness now
    If I could hold her in my arms today
    Well I wouldn't want her any other way

    Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe
    and to love you.

    Don't know if they're the most romantic ever, but there's ac ouple if Missy Higgins songs I adore -

    Don't Ever -

    Let's take the train to anywhere
    I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you.
    Let's tell them all, that soon they'll know
    How very wrong they were to think we'd never go,

    And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine
    And we will clean the cobwebs out of one anothers minds.

    Don't ever say you've tried to leave me in this life
    Don't ever say you've tried for the last time.

    We'll get a house where the trees hang low and pretty little flowers
    On our window sill will grow
    We'll make friends with the milk man and the butcher Mr. Timms
    Will give us discounts when he can,

    And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine,
    And we will clean the cobwebs out of one anothers minds.

    Don't ever say you've tried to leave me in this life
    Don't ever say you've tried for the last time
    LA DI DA DI DA...

    Don't ever say you've tried to leave me in this life
    Don't ever say you've tried to leave me in this life
    Don't ever say you've tried for the last time...

    Nightminds -

    Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.
    I know
    I know
    I know.
    I knew before you got home.
    This world you're in now,
    It doesn't have to be alone,
    I'll get there somehow, 'cos
    I know I know I know
    When, even springtime feels cold.

    But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
    So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
    And in our honesty, together we will rise,
    Out of our nightminds, and into the light
    At the end of the fight...

    You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified.
    The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
    And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
    So I know
    I know
    I know,
    It's easier to let go.

    But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
    So we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
    And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
    And into the light at the end of the fight.

    ...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
    And into the light... at the end of the fight...

    I feels like fire I'm so in love with you Dreams are like Angels They keep bad at bay, bad at bay Love is the light Scaring darkness away, yeah

    The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal

    I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door When the chips are down, I'll be around With my undying

    Death-defying love from you envy will hurt itself Let yourself be beautiful Sparkling love, flowers and pearls and pretty girls Love is like an energy, rushin', rushin' inside of me, hey

    The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal

    This time we go sublime Lovers entwine-divine divine Love is danger, love is pleasure Love is pure, the only treasure

    I'm so in love with you Purge the soul Make love your goal

    The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul

    The power of love A force from above A sky-scraping dove Flame on burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal

    I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door

    This is it for me.

    This may be considered an unusual choice but I like it! It is a song from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. It has subtitles!

    "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?"
    lyrics written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman,music written by Michel Legrand


    What are you doing the rest of your life?
    North and south and east and west of your life?
    I have only one request of your life
    That you spend it all with me.
    All the seasons and the times of your days.
    All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
    Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
    All begin and end with me.
    I want to see your face,
    In every kind of light,
    In fields of gold and
    Forests of the night;
    And when you stand before
    The candles on a cake.
    Oh let me be the one to hear
    The silent wish you make.
    Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
    In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
    Ill awaken what's asleep in your eyes,
    It may take a kiss or two..
    Through all of my life..
    Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life,
    All I ever will recall of my life
    Is all of my life with you.

    From David Ford's "Song For The Road":

    So you can keep your belief in whatever
    I'll wear my cynicism like a tattoo
    While poets try to engineer definitions of love
    You know all I can think of is you

    And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
    Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
    For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
    And I will sleep to the sound of your voice

    Now I don't like using words like forever
    But I will love you til the end of today
    And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
    I know I'll fall for you over again

    nowt wrong with the beegees (early)

    'to love somebody'... "you dont know what its like (rpt) to love somebody, to love somebody, the way i love you"

    together with the music is to me extremely emotional... or sad... lol..

    Nirvana, Heart Shaped Box. I think there's something tremendously romantic about it. Kurt saying to Courtney, I would die to let you live.

    At least I think that was what it was about...

    Fortunately you have
    Someone who relies on you
    We started out as friends
    But the thought of you just caves me in
    The symptoms are so deep
    It is much too late to turn away
    We started out as friends

    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my baby
    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my lady

    Time I'm sure will bring
    Disappointments in so many things
    It seems to be the way
    When you�re gambling cards on love you play
    I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
    Than in cool Heaven
    It seems to be the way

    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my baby
    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my lady

    Birds never look into the sun
    Before the day is gone
    But oh the light shines brighter
    On a peaceful day
    Stranger blue leave us alone
    We don't want to deal with you
    We'll shed our stains showering
    In the room that makes the rain

    All alone with you
    Makes the butterflies in me arise
    Slowly we make love
    And the Earth rotates
    To our dictates
    Slowly we make love

    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my baby
    Sign your name
    Across my heart
    I want you to be my lady

    I got a barmaid from St Helens in the back of my Vauxhall Viva,
    She had massive melons and I wanted to bang her beaver,
    She had real bad breath and a touch of the pox,
    But I ripped off my bags and ma sweaty socks,
    And I rattled my 'tatoes against her dirt box.

    She said I was good looking
    And I looked a bit like George Michael,
    But she didn't want a f****g, she were on the menstrual cycle....

    ...and so on.
    Thank god, they don't write them like that anymore :D
