Missing Free Republic these past two days has reminded me how important the site is to many of us. Like a special person in your life, you should never take for granted.

On the Friday of the first week of Lent I give you five love songs.

Hi there!

Remember me?

Sara Smile - Hall and Oates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOFCTFXn6xE

Lyrics:
Baby hair with a woman’s eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and
we’re waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I can’t go on
you come and hold me
It’s you and me forever

Sara smile
Won’t you smile a while for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving
you know you can go
But why don’t you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free
you know all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold I’ll warm you
And when you feel you can’t go on
I’ll come and hold you
It’s you and me forever

Sara smile
Won’t you smile a while for me, Sara
Sara smile
Oh won’t you smile a while, Sara

Smile
Oh won’t you smile a while, Sara

Blue Moon - The Marcels

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fy1HeJv80

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, ‘Please adore me’
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue Moon, now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
************************************

In Dreams - Roy Orbison

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbxsmcT7GOk

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
“Go to sleep, everything is alright”

I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly sway
Oh smile and pray
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you

In dreams...I walk with you
In dreams...I talk to you
In dreams...Your mine

All of the time
We’re together
In dreams...In dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can’t help it...I can’t help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I’ll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams

In beautiful dreams

Only Time - Enya

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h348HGTm1uk

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

Tears On My Pillow - Little Anthony And The Imperials

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6fLgOvu7k

You don’t remember me, but I remember you
‘t was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you

If we could start anew, I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you,

Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, she’ll fill your heart with joy

If we could start anew, I wouldn’t hesitate
I’d gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
Oh wo wo wo you you
FADE: wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

BTW, didn’t you post one yourself? We’ll pick up on this tomorrow....

[beaversmom]

Thanks for the live link of that song. Sorry for not posting a new song. I thought I maybe had posted too many the other day. :)

Here’s one I like from the movie The Piano called The Scent of Love (instrumental):

Michael Nyman - 09 - The Scent Of Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwyPd98jrr0

and then another instrumental from Midnight Express:

“Love Theme”, Midnight Express
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZO6y5U8BMk

[nikos1121]

Both songs are very beautiful but evoke such a strong memory of those movies that they’re hard to listen too.
