Lyrics we love!
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
May you stay forever young.
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
Unwritten
Natasha BedingfieldFeel the rain on your skin,
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in,
No one else no one else can
Speak the words on your lips,
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open,
Today is where your book begins
The rest, is still unwritten
I see a soul and know the pain it has felt
But baby, I can't tell you from me
I know the difference between wrong and right
I know the moment when to turn and fight
But baby, I just can't tell you from me.
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don’t steal, don’t lift
Twenty years of schoolin’
And they put you on the day shift
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
May be surrounded by
A million people
I still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
I've never been perfect, But neither have you
The in-between is mine, I am mine
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you
come let me love you, come love me again.
Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time. You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.
And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe
But I can't hide, And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Lyrics we don't love!
In five days from now, he's gonna marry
He's hopin' you can make it there, if you can
'Cause in the ceremony, you'll be the best man
(I do like this old funky song...however why are you being your best friends brother's best man? Why isn't Harry the best man (or why doesn't Larry ask one of his own friends)? And shouldn't you lock that stuff in - not five days out, if your brothers friend can make it...).
But then again, no
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody.
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki,
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele,
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway,"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay."
The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai,
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song.
(Stuck in your head yet?)
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
(Really??? Surely a better rhyme could have been found!!!)Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains(Something perhaps lost in translation?)
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
