Jenny Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I am such a mush....I could fill up a page, but I will restrict myself. I'm also trying to pick songs I won't have on my personal Top Ten Have I Told You Lately - Van Morrison Have I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you there's no one else above you? Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my trouble, that's what you do Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol (does this surprise anybody?) I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Flowers in the Window ~ Travis My feelings for Travis have been well documented, but I really love Flowers in the Window in particular.

Dappled Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Coming Back to Me - Jefferson Airplane The summer had inhaled And held its breath too long. The winter looked the same, As if it had never gone, And through an open window, Where no curtain hung, I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. One begins to read between The pages of a book. The sound of sleepy music, And suddenly, you're hooked. I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. You came to stay and live my way, Scatter my love like leaves in the wind. You always say that you won't go away, But I know what it always has been, It always has been. A transparent dream Beneath an occasional sigh Most of the time, I just let it go by. Now I wish it hadn't begun. I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. Strolling the hill, Overlooking the shore, I realize I've been here before. The shadow in the mist Could have been anyone I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. Small things like reasons Are put in a jar. Whatever happened to wishes, Wished on a star? Was it just something That I made up for fun? I saw you, I saw you, Coming back to me. Today - Jefferson Airplane Today I feel like pleasing you more than before Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for To be living for you is all I want to do To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same To be anymore than all I am would be a lie I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true Today I realize how much I'm in love with you With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough Please, please listen to me It's taken so long to come true And it's all for you all for you.... Surrealistic Pillow had Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, great songs that became famous. But the album also had 2 very beautiful ballads, love songs, that became my personal favourites: Today and Coming Back to Me. I couldn't decide which I like best, so I'll nominate both.
