[BlueskyBeauty]

i'm in a sappy mood, i think i better go to bed

faith hill
beautiful

I love the way you stand in my way
You won't move 'til you get a kiss
And how you tell me that my name
It tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes
Hold me so tight that I can't move
It's like everything I've ever known is a lie
And you're the simple truth

Is it a dream or is it real?
All I know is you make me feel so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so beautiful

(Spoken: )
I love how soft you touch my skin
Like you're touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room
Where there was no such thing as time
I've never let anyone get this close
I've always been afraid
But you break down every wall and I feel so safe

Every part of who I am
Is so in love cause what I have is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful...
You make me feel so beautiful (When you touch my face)
Beautiful (When you say my name)
Beautiful (Always find the way)
You make me feel so
Beautiful

SHE'S THE ONE
Bruce Springsteen

With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill
With her hands on her hips oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft french cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
Because french cream won't soften them boots
And french kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one

That Thunder in your heart
At night when you're kneeling in the dark
Says that you're never gonna leave her
But there's this angel in her eyes
That tells such desperate lies
And all you want to do is believe her
And tonight you'll try just one more time
To leave it all behind and to break on through
Oh she can take you, but if she wants to break you
She's gonna find out that ain't so easy to do
And no matter where you sleep tonight or how far you run
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one

Oh-o and just one kiss
She'd fill them long summer nights
With her tenderness that secret pact you made
Back when her love could save you from the bitterness
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one

MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER
Bruce Springsteen

Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side

Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you won't say anything
Cause this guy don't dance
And the word's been passed this is our last chance

We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time

And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
It'll look like you're carrying a friend
And remember, just don't smile
Change your shirt, `cause tonight we got style

Well Cherry says she's gonna walk
Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don't understand
That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket

And tonight's gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Then I'm gonna go out walking

Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?

This Love- Maroon 5

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And my heart is breaking in front of me
She said Goodbye too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore...

Strange Currencies

I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone.
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on

These words, "You will be mine."
These words, "You will be mine." all the time.

The fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes,
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love,
Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine.

These words, "You will be mine."
These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh

I tripped and fell. Did I fall.
What I want to feel, I want to feel it now
You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal:
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real

These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh
These words, "You will be mine."
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,

Say, love's confined, oh.

"Don't Miss You At All"

As I sit and watch the snow
Fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin' laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile

So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory
Out my window I see light doing dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me

And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm tough of your hand
As I sit and watch the snow
Fallin' down

I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all

Hey Tara baby....

do you know where Greasy Lake is? I do.

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT
Bruce Springsteen

Crazy Janey and her mission man were back in the alley tradin' hands
along came Wild Billy with his friend G-man all duded up for Saturday night
Well Billy slammed on his coaster brakes and said anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake
It's about a mile down on the dark side of route eighty-eight
I got a bottle of rose so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe and I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
They're built like light
and they dance like spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Oh, you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Stand right up now and let it shoot through you

Well now Wild young Billy was a crazy cat and he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap.
He said, "Trust some of this it'll show you where you're at, or at least it'll help you really feel it"
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake I had my head out the window and Janey's fingers were in the cake
I think I really dug her `cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey let me heal it".
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
and she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night)
In the night (all night). Janey don't know what she do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night), in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through me.

Now the night was bright and the stars threw light on Billy and Davy
dancin' in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
Well now Hazy Davy got really hurt, he ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt singin' our birthday songs
Janey said it was time to go
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to gypsy angel row, felt so right
Together we moved like spirits in the night, all night
Baby don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night, all night
Stand right up and let it shoot right through you

Fool Says

This is a simple song for diehard romantics- like me

Fool Says

by M WardFool Says
From : Transfiguration Of Vincent

Hey! I ain't never met anyone like you before
I ain't never met anyone like you before
I thought all the good ones were gone,
you're here to tell me I was wrong.

Hey! You ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
they told you all romantic fools had died,
I'm here to tell you that they lied.

You can't be always right my friend,
C'mon and tell me I got it wrong again!

Hey! I ain't never seen anything like this before
I ain't never seen anything like this before
I thought all the mystery was gone,
you're here to tell me I was wrong.

You can't be always right my friend,
C'mon and tell me I got it wrong again!

Hey! You ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
they told you all romantic fools had died,
I'm here to tell you that they lied.

I know it's Wednesday but...

Like a summer thursday
by Townes Van Zandt

Her face was crystal
fair and fine
her breath was morning
her lips were wine
her eyes were laughter
her touch divine
her face was crystal
and she was mine


If only she
could feel my pain
but feelin' is a burden
she can't sustain
so like a summer thursday
I cry for rain
to come and turn
the ground to green again


If only she
could her my songs
'bout the empty difference
'tween the rights and wrongs
then I know that I
could stand alone
as well as they
now that she's gone


Her face was crystal
fair and fine
her breath was morning
her lips were wine
her eyes were laughter
her touch divine
her face was crystal
and she was mine

Re: I can't believe

I didn't post this before! Lester Young is my main man--if I could go back in time it would be to NYC circa early 1940s to see him play at some little jazz club on 52nd Street.

GOODBYE PORK PIE HAT
words by Joni Mitchell
music by Charles Mingus

When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
Cellars and chittlins'

When Lester took him a wife
Arm and arm went black and white
And some saw red
And drove them from their hotel bed
Love is never easy
It's short of the hope we have for happiness
Bright and sweet
Love is never easy street!
Now we are black and white
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
Or be hung in a tree
That's unlikely!

Tonight these crowds
Are happy and loud
Children are up dancing in the streets
In the sticky middle of the night
Summer serenade
Of taxi horns and fun arcades
Where right or wrong
Under neon
Every feeling goes on!
For you and me
The sidewalk is a history book
And a circus
Dangerous clowns
Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
They have been handed
Day by day
Generations on down

We came up from the subway
On the music midnight makes
To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
In taxi horns and brakes
Now Charlie's down in Mexico
With the healers
So the sidewalk leads us with music
To two little dancers
Dancing outside a black bar
There's a sign up on the awning
It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"
And there's black babies dancing...
Tonight!

(I know a certain person wrote a lovely poem for Prez, too.)

This reminded me of a Dave Frishberg song he wrote for a hero of his - Bix Beiderbecke.
It is eccentric as a poem but such a lovely song.

Bix, old friend,
are you ever going to comprehend?
You’re no ordinary standard B flat run-of-the-mill type guy,
oh my no!
And Bix, old elf,
Will you ever learn to look at your-self?
Like the others around you, who love you and never ask why?
And, seriously, Bix old bear,
Don’t you dig that big blue sky up there?
And wouldn’t it be nice to cut yourself a sclice
Oh that pie up there?
I wonder, Bix, old chum,
When you reminisce in years to come
Will you ever hum that some day song
You’ve been looking so long to find?
So, do what you got to do
And may the years be good to you
‘cause you’re one of the favored few,
dear Bix, you’re one of a kind.

Dear PoeTess

(I know a certain person wrote a lovely poem for Prez, too.)

This reminded me of a Dave Frishberg song he wrote for a hero of his - Bix Beiderbecke.
It is eccentric as a poem but such a lovely song.

Bix, old friend,...

This is so not the thread for this, but~

did I ever show you this poem? I wrote it months ago after reading stories about Louis Armstrong's sojourns up the Mississippi on an excursion boat. He played with the Fate Marable orchestra, and there is a perhaps apochryphal story that the young Bix Beiderbecke, then a farm boy, heard Armstrong's incredibly clear high notes as the boat traveled by upriver. Supposedly it was the catalyst that lead Bix to Chicago and jazz history.



Oh and you MUST listen to these sound samples of calliope music to get you in the right mood!


Upriver

Daylight fades and steam floats over the river,
the sun retreats, strikes its last orange notes
against the brown water flowing south
as shadows move forward denying the current

of convention moving in clumsy grace upriver
northward, slapping wet plashes on carved spokes,
the wheel leads like a masthead turning circles,
singing through eddies and clumps of reed.

Darkness falls and tons of iron chuff chug,
stoked by heat building in an angry cage
and burping up puffs through the stack
in cloud bursts that thin and curl over water,
weaving dank smoky threads through trees.

Darkness falls and gulls caw warnings,
leading faint frog choruses that will rise
in the night to insectile whirrs and the last
hungry splash of trout feeding, blending
against the heartbeat of the wheel the breath

of shifting water is held and released
in a thick whistle stretching across night air,
wheezing to silence paused until the first
giddy notes spill thin as reeds and giggle
the cooler air in silly calliope confections.

Waitin for the Robert E Lee! Dixie!
If You Knew Susie! Stars and Stripes Forever!
Laugh sultry in deep siren syncopation,
exploding horns and drumbeats into black.

The day is done and jazz struts dixie style
up the Mississippi. She rambles shoutin
Looka here! Calling past Fate's baton,
flying high as notes can leap from Louis'
horn and whizz over the wheel, over water,

past the riverbank, arrows of jazz shot
through the night sail through farmhouse
windows and into the hearts of young men
still sleeping in innocent beds, but filled
with lusty dreams of cities, sin, and song.

 

[Angeline]

Dylan's version is great, of course, but the soulful gospel version of this on Gotta Serve Somebody will give you goosebumps.


Ange (who is not traditionally religious, but looooves all good music)

What Can I Do for You
Bob Dylan

You have given everything to me.
What can I do for you?
You have given me eyes to see.
What can I do for you?

Pulled me out of bondage and you made me renewed inside,
Filled up a hunger that had always been denied,
Opened up a door no man can shut and you opened it up so wide
And you've chosen me to be among the few.
What can I do for you?

You have laid down your life for me.
What can I do for you?
You have explained every mystery.
What can I do for you?

Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly,
He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Who would deliver him from the death he's bound to die?
Well, you've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.
What can I do for you?

You have given all there is to give.
What can I do for you?
You have given me life to live.
How can I live for you?

I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,
I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,
Whatever pleases you, tell it to my heart.
Well, I don't deserve it but I sure did make it through.
What can I do for you?

The Beatles

Within You and Without You

We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it’s far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it’s all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that’s gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don’t know-they can’t see-are you one of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
We’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

Thursday,
"Understanding (in a car crash)" (Lyrics in parenthesis sung by back up vocalist)

Splintered piece of glass
falls in the seat, gets caught.
Broken windows, open locks,
reminders of the youth we lost.
I tried so hard to look away from you.
We followed white lines to the sunset,
I crash my car every day the same way.

Time to let this pass.
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins.
(It starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(The time it takes the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun, no reason to come back again.
This twilight world in blue and white,
the needle and the damage done.
I don't want to feel this way forever:
A dead letter marked return to sender.

The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
Its two hands still point to the same time,
Twelve-oh-three,
our last goodbye.

So push the seats back a little further.
I can see the headlights coming
So push the seats back a little further
(Roll the windows down and take a breath)
I can see the headlights coming.
They paint the world in red and broken glass

Time to let this pass
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
tTime runs through our veins
(It starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(The time it takes the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun, no reason to come back again
This twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever:
A dead letter marked return to sender

The spinning hubcaps set the tempo,
for the music of a broken window.
When the cameras are on and the cameras click,
we open up the lens and can't stop
staring at the setting sun, no reason to come back again.
This twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done
I don't want to feel this way forever:
When the cameras are on and the cameras click
e open up the lens to broken glass
(Understanding)
(In a crash)
Staring at the setting sun, no reason to come back again
(Understanding)
This twilight world in blue and white
(Never understand it)
The needle and the damage done
(Understanding) (understanding)
I don't want to feel this way forever:
A dead letter marks return to sender
(In a crash)
In a crash

Good Night
Lennon/McCartney

Now it’s time to say good night
Good night sleep tight.
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight.

Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night sleep tight.
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night sleep tight.

Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Now it’s time to say good night
Good night sleep tight.
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight.

Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Good night good night everybody
Everybody everywhere.
Good night.

Dido
See The Sun

I'm coming round to open the blinds
you can't hide here any longer
my god you need to rinse those puffy eyes
you can't lie still any longer
and yes they'll ask you where you've been
and you'll have to tell them, again and again

and you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
but I promise you you'll see the sun again
and you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
and I promise you you'll see the sun again

come on take my hand
we're going for a walk, I know you can
you can wear anything, as long as it's not black
please don't mourn forever, she's not coming back
and yes they'll ask you where you've been
and you'll have to tell them, again and again

and you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
but I promise you you'll see the sun again
and you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
and I promise you you'll see the sun again
and I promise you you'll see the sun again

do you remember telling me you'd found the sweetest thing of all
you said one day of this was worth dying for
so be thankful you knew her at all
but it's no more

and you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
but I promise you you'll see the sun again
and you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
and I promise you you'll see the sun again
and I promise you you'll see the sun again

Sandy Denny-

Who Knows Where the Time Goes

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

Hah! I posted this earlier in this thread--of course.

I especially love Judy Collins' version of it.

Insensitive

Jann Arden


How do you cool your lips
after a summer’s kiss
how do you rid the sweat
after the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
from the romantic glare
how do you block the sound
of a voice you’d know anywhere

Oh, I really should have known
by the time you drove me home
by the vagueness in your eyes
casual good-byes
by the chill in your embrace
the expression on your face
that told me
you might have some advice to give
on how to be
insensitive

How do you numb your skin
after the warmest touch
how do you slow your blood
after the body rush
how do you free your soul
after you’ve found a friend
how do you teach your heart
it’s a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won’t remember me
it’s probably ancient history
I’m one of the chosen few
who went ahead and fell for you
I’m out of vogue, I’m out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have
some advice to give on how to be
insensitive

I posted this in a thread in the GB and it reminded me what a great song it is, nice sentiments too,


Time in a Bottle

Jim Croce

If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

CHORUS:
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

(Repeat Chorus)

 

[tungtied2u]

Yes I Am

Melissa Etheridge

Yes I Am
In these days and these hours of fury
When the darkness and answers are thin
Lovers come and check out in a hurry
Shallow and hollow again
Come lay your body beside me
To dream to sleep with the lamb
To the question your eyes seem to send

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

Barring divine intervention
There is nothing between you and I
And if I carelessly forgot to mention
Your body your power can sanctify
Come feed your hunger your thirst
Lay it down the beast will die
You can question my heart once again

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

I will stand firm in the tempest
I will ride destinys' trail
To believe when the truth comes up empty
To hold and respect without fail
Come and be one in the motion
A desire they cannot comprehend
Never to question again
For I am your passion your promise your end
Oh yes I am

down this highway
to get to her

'cause she goes on forever
she goes on forever
yeah she's gonna shine
forever
like a diamond
in the sunlight

deacons steal
and ma can't feel
if you're lonely
and behind the wheel
when the ground gives way
you have to pray
to the unknown
and hope it's real

but she goes on forever
she goes on forever
she's gonna shine forever

like a diamond
in the sunlight

You and Me
Tom Petty

take a look
at what i got
i can't promise
you a lot
but you and me
and the road ahead

i can't save
you from yourself
you gotta want it
all that's left
is you and me
and the road ahead

wherever that wind might blow
wherever that river rolls
you know i will go with you

looking over
the mountain’s crown
the water roars
and tumbles down
like you and me
and the road ahead

wherever that wind might blow
wherever that river rolls
you know i will go with you

just you and me
and the road ahead
