Best Love Song Lyrics. Post a sampling of your favs.
"I simply love you more than I love life itself" Elton John


"And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when" Foo Fighters



"You’re everything that I want and ask for
You’re all that I’d dreamed
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you" Smashing Pumpkins


"And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you" Ben Folds

1. You already know what I am going to post: Best. Love. Song. Ever.
close the door and turn the key
And dream a world for you and me
Beyond the walls a city breathes
In this room one heart beats
The stars they shine for you and me
On the street ten floors below
The city lights are all aglow
The corner girls they come and go
Dreaming of a ticket home
The stars they shine for you and me

I'll have a drink and then we'll see
If the spirit conjures your genie
To lie beside me in my dreams
The wind is blowing a melody
The stars they shine for you and me

Close the door and turn the key
And now that you're alone with me
We'll sit up late and watch tv
The neon flashes red and green
The stars they shine for you and me

2. Why don't we get drunk and screw

Lyrics for: Why Don't We Get Drunk (And Screw)

I really do appreciate the fact you’re sittin’ here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don’t look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o’ brew
Honey, why don’t we get drunk and screw

Chorus:
Why don’t we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it’s filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don’t think that’s true
So, why don’t we get drunk and screw

-- spoken: pick it coral reefers, here we go...

(swing instrumental)

Chorus:
Why don’t we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed it’s filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don’t think that’s true
So why don’t we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, (lord!)
Why don’t we get drunk and screw

5. They say the whole is greater...
than the sum of the parts it's made of.
Well, if it's true of anything, it's true of love. - Pippin

6. "Western Sky"- Mark Eitzel
Not a "love song" in the sctrict sense, but one about a friend dying of AIDS..

*************
Western Sky

Time for me to go away
I'll get a new name, I'll get a new face
Time for me to go away
No I don't belong in this place

But I'm not gonna ask you why
You think the parade has passed you by
Or if everything good is gone into the western sky

I hate to see you look that way
All the beauty has left your face
That's such an easy thing to give away
That's impossible to replace

So I'll take you in my two weak hands
And I'll throw you so high
Watch you fall forever in the western sky
And when you land you'll turn into some kind of prize
Into somebody's sweet prize

I won't see you no more
Who am I to rate that high
The world's a shadow of what went before
The world gives off none of its own light

So please be happy baby
And please don't cry
Even though the parade has passed us by
Well you can still see it shining in the western sky
So why won't you stop crying
You can still see it shining

7. "Panheads Forever"
Panheads Forever

She's hard to get started
She's always so cold
In the mornings I find her -
She's looking so old
There's so many miles
I've been down that road once or twice
She's not much to look at
When we ride thru town
But I know when the chips fall
She won't let me down
She knows how to run
And she don't run around on her man

She's a high flyin' lady
She takes me where I want to be
There's no other woman
Standing between her and me
I'll always be faithful
And keep her 'til the end of time
God knows I'll always love
That old Panhead of mine

I've seen fancy dressers
And they've caught my eye
I rode 'em to ride 'em
Then I told them goodbye
I flirted with Low Riders
Sportsters and Shovelheads too
I cussed her and beat her
And kicked her to just get her started
A couple of times
God knows I'll always love
That ol' Panhead of mine.

9. "Stars Fell on Alabama"
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 11:21 PM by Crisco
No one does it better than Ella & Louis

"We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me

My heart beat like a hammer
My Arms wound around you tight
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night"

honorable mention: "Don't Discard Me" from Gerald Collier -

"Don't discard me on this evidence
don't believe what's on bathroom walls
you know I'd never stay the night
you know I'm not a good time at all"

11. Ella!
I'm sure Jimmy's is fine, I've never heard it though.

It's a beau tune. Beau.

13. I can't decide between two of Peter Murphy's songs, so I'll post both:
song:

Wish

I wish it was spring
I wish it was your house
We'd invite the beggars
Hanging 'bout your front fence
Wish I was your tree
I wish I could bend and bow
Like the branch of ash
Burn idols for love

I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
Wish I was a nomad
Living in your land
An Irish tinker
Drinking juice of rose
From your hand
Wish I was a beggar
Waiting at your door

I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
I wish I could rush
To see the first sun
Rise to your call
Burn idols for love

To the crowd
to the world
you were so dry
and with a token bird I made
sent it to fly
right to your side
with a broken wing you sail
oh like winter in july
a barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood
to wash on you
it's here, I'll be with you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll Fall with Your Knife

Well if the birds
can reach the sky
to this land
I'll be with you
till the sun bursts from your side
with my hands
I reach to you
when you think your chance is passing by
when you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
fall with your knife
it's here I'll be with you

to the crowd
to the world
you were so dry
and with a token bird I made
sent it to fly
right to your side
with a broken wing you sail
oh like winter in july
a barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood
to wash on you
it's here, I'll stay with you
it's here, I'll be with you
I'll fall

14. Solidão
Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
O telefo...
Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
E no meu descompassa o riso dela

Na vida, quem perde o telhado
Em troca recebe as estrelas
Pra rimar até se afogar
E de soluço em soluço esperar
A vida que sobe na cama
E acende o lençol
Sol lhe chamando
Sol-licitando

Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
O telefo...
Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
E no meu descompassa o riso dela

Se ela nascesse rainha
Se o mundo pudesse agüentar
Os pobres ela pisaria
E os ricos queria humilhar
Milhares de guerras faria
Pra se deleitar
Por isso eu prefiro cantar sozinho

Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
O telefone chamou, foi engano
Solidão, que poeira leve
Solidão, olha a casa é sua
E no meu descompasso passa o riso dela

- Tom Zé
