Just a little LOVE SONG...

It comes at a time when everyone needs a breather in their complex lives, someone write a song that stirs the deepest emotion, from the recesses of their soul to the twinkle in their eyes.

Ares son of Zeus; god of prophecy, light, poetry, and music, may not have started it, but he at least recorded it, if only in mythology, music is emotion. Songs in general, and LOVE SONGS in particular, have answered our need to express our inner passion, yearning, and desires, into sounds and words.

Poetry, and verse do translate into feelings and conjure up strong desires, lust, and yearnings, but when blended with sound it seems to hit the desired note in all of us..

Share with us, if you would please, your idea of the true love song, and if I assure you I won't tell anyone, tell me how it worked on you.... fingers crossed, eyes squeezed shut, mouth covered... ;)

My favorite is the version by Lenny Andrade. I'll try to find my CD for the title, she performed two versions.

Fun thread.

Now here's a romantic tearjerker song that I still love (this one is really effective, guys!)

Angel Eyes
The Jeff Healey Band
written by J. Hiatt and F. Koller

Girl, you're looking fine tonight,
and every guy has got you in his sights
What you're doing with a clown like me,
is surely one of life's little mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough,
I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me,
if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing,
that's ever happened to me

All you fellows, you can look all you like,
but this girl, you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I have to know,
if this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be something only you can see,
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

You like mushy stuff, do ya... try this on for size... Fireside melodies..... :o)

[petuniasevan]

Yes, that letter still brings tears to my eyes.

Did you know that Sarah never remarried?

"I'll Be Your Lover" Van Morrison..."Songbird" Eva Cassidy.. "One More Time" Laura Marx .. "It Don't Matter Now"..Allison Krauss

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks, carlo. Bookmarking for after 'work'. I'm more a "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue", "Flight of the Valkeries" and the soundtrack from "Jaws" kinda girl these days. Can't you feel the love? (^:

[Neenah]

You can't imagine how long I have looked for something like this site ! (Fireside melodies).. I think I am in heaven...wait, let me check.........

[carlo3b]

Did you know that Sarah never remarried?

No, but I'm not surprised.. They say if you have one true love in a lifetime, all else seems meaningless.. I still believe in love... if only it were as easy to find as Truffles... ;)

Johnny Hartman - I See Your Face Before Me

[jellybean]

I still believe in love...

There is no such thing as love. It's only a mirage which disappears once you get close to it.

[fish hawk]

if that is true then there is no such things as jellybeans as every time I get close to them they disappear. (especially the licorice ones)

[jellybean]

At least you get a chance to touch the jellybeans before they disappear. Love evaporates like vapor once you reach for it.

Secret Garden (from Jerry McGuire)
Bruce Springsteen

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth if the
Words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get to that place where
You can't remember and you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay a million miles away.

Thanks for the ping, carlo!!!!!
Whew....tears and goosebumps while listening to Sullivan's letter.

[Slip18]

Doug, I'm going to cry over those lyrics. They are beautiful!

[carlo3b]

Doug, I almost cried reading your song to your little girl. I know those words came from deep inside... I have 3 wonderful daughters that I had to walk down the isle.. I can't ever remember feeling so empty as I felt kissing each one of them good-bye.

Daddy's Little Girl

...........sigh
I still talk to each of my kids everyday, and still cook for the whole gang at least 2 times a week... My dinner table has grown from 5 wonderful kids, (2 are still teenagers) to 14, including grandkids, sons-in-laws, and one ex-wife (yep, she still comes over for dinner..a really neat lady).... LOLOL
