Lyrics that make you go mmmmmm ...

[BradBigBrain]

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

Being new here, I don't know if this has ever been done before! I was just listening to Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" (written, surprisingly by Bob Dylan!) and thought it might be nice for people to post lyrics here that hit a certain spot with them, for whatever reason. Feel free to contribute!

*Edit: I also think (in my opinion) that the music matters as much as the lyrics to make a truly great song - and that applies to all songs I will post.

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.
No, 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.
Though winds of change are throwing 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

I love this song.

I almost had that one as my ring tone.

that one always makes me laugh!!!!!!!

All I Ask Of You / Sarah Brightman & Cliff Richard

Him:
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here
Nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here
With you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

Her:
Say you love me every weakening moment
Turn my head with talk to summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Him:
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe
No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

Her:
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you
Always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

Him:
Then say you'll share with me one love,
One lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you want me
And you need me
Beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you

Together:
Say you'll share with me one love
One lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me, that's all I ask you
Love me, that's all I ask of you

love, love, love this song.

Another favorite

Come What May
Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman Moulin Rouge


Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

All I Want Is You / U2

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...

Grow Old With Me / Glenn Campbell

(co-written by John Lennon & Yoko Ono)

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love

Grow old go on with me
Two branches are one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and the wife together
World without hurt
World without hate

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We'll see it thru
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spinnin' and Spinnin' / Syreeta

One where the music is possibly more Mmmmm than the lyrics ...

*(Just) Spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin' around
Painting the town I'm never coming down
Spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin' around
(I'm) out on the town I'm never coming down

God Almighty I wanna live
A man will shower me with expensive gifts
And the cost there's his love
I don't want to be, I don't want to be
Just another feather in a cap you see
So if you offer me know that I want to be

(Repeat *)

Not that I want everything
Just a few of those little precious things
That there's smiles in my eyes
I don't want to be, I don't want to be
Just another toy that has gone away
So I'm flying free, know that I'm wild

And I'll be spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin' around

Give me one or two compliments
Tell me that my love is heaven sent
And that living is free
Free enough to go everywhere
Just to drop a dime and we're in the air
There's so close there is love
Wonder how much I'll see

And I'll be spinnin' and spinnin' and spinnin' around ...
