Steel2Velvet Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Evergreen, by Babs herself. Co-written with Paul Williams for the updated version of the movie A Star Is Born. I prefer Roy Orbison's 1964 song titled Evergreen: Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime Then like flowers, in summer, it will grow Then just fade away in the winter When the cold winds begin to blow But when it's evergreen ... evergreen It will last through summer and winter too When love is evergreen ... evergreen Like my love for you. So hold my hand and tell me you'll Be mine through laughter or through tears Then let the whole world see How love will be Evergreen through all the years For when it's evergreen ... evergreen It will last through summer and winter too When love is evergreen ... evergreen Like my love for you.

Shawna Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I heard this one on the radio today and remembered back when I'd heard it the first time, it still makes me *sigh* I'll Be Edwin McCain The strands in your eyes That color them wonderful Stop me and steal my breath Emeralds from mountains That thrust towards the sky Never revealing their depth And tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated; I'll hang from your lips Instead of the gallows of heartache That hang from above (Chorus) I'll be your crying shoulder I'll be love's suicide I'll be better when I'm older I'll be the greatest fan of your life Rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed You're my survival You're my living proof My love is alive and not dead And tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated; I'll hang from your lips Instead of the gallows of heartache That hang from above (Chorus) And I've dropped out, I've burned up I fought my way back from the dead I've tuned in, turned on Remembered the thing that you said (Chorus) (Chorus) The greatest fan of your life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Speaking of Edwin McCain, here's another good one from him: I Could Not Ask For More - Edwin McCain Lying here with you Listening to the rain Smiling just to see the smile upon your face These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive These are the moments I'll remember all my life I found all I've waited for And I could not ask for more Looking in your eyes Seeing all I need Everything you are is everything to me These are the moments I know heaven must exist These are the moments I know all I need is this I have all I've waited for And I could not ask for more [Chorus] I could not ask for more than this time together I could not ask for more than this time with you Every prayer has been answered Every dream I have's come true And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be Here with you here with me These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive These are the moments I'll remember all my life I've got all I've waited for And I could not ask for more [Chorus] I could not ask for more than the love you give me 'Coz it's all I've waited for And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more And of course, one old standard I love The Very Thought Of You - Nat King Cole The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do Im living in a kind of daydream Im happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me thats everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above Its just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love The mere idea of you, the longing here for you Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above Its just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Jenny I Could Not Ask For More is a GREAT song! The version by Sara Evans is so good and that single-note guitar sustain blows me away! If you don't, I will nominate this for the Fitty's top ten.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm actually now well past my Led Zeppelin phase that I was in the middle of when I made that name. When ever I hear that line now, I think of Songfacts.

_Laurie_ Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 When A Man Loves A Woman ~ Percy Sledge When a man loves a woman, Can't keep his mind on nothing else He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found If she's bad he can't see it, she can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way it ought to be {Chorus}{soc} Well, this man loves a woman I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul She can bring him such misery If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know Lovin' eyes don't ever see {c:chorus} When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels Coz baby baby baby you're my world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I Was Made to Love Her ('67) - Stevie Wonder I was born in Lil' Rock, Had a childhood sweetheart, We were always hand in hand. I was hightop shoes and shirt tails, Suzy was in pig tails, I know I loved her even then. You know my papa disapproved it, My mama boohooed it, But I told them time and time again, "Don't you know I was made to love her, Built a world all around her" Yah! Hey, hey, hey. She's been my inspiration, Showed appreciation For the love I gave her through the years. Like a sweet magnolia tree My love blossmed tenderly, My life grew sweeter through the years. I know that my baby loves me, My baby needs me, That's why we made it through the years. I was made to love her, Worship and adore her, Hey, hey, hey. All through thick and thin Our love just won't end, 'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah! My baby loves me, My baby needs me, And I know I ain't going nowhere. I was knee high to a chicken When that love bug bit me, I had the fever with each passing year. Oh, even if the mountain tumbles, If this whole world crumbles, By her side I'll still be standing there. 'Cause I was made to love her, I was made to live for her, yeah! Ah, I was made to love her, Built my world all around her, Hey, hey, hey. Oo baby, I was made to please her, You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no, Hey, hey, hey. Oo wee baby, my baby loves me, My baby needs me, Hey, hey, hey. OO my baby loves me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 SHE Evis Costello music & lyrics: Charles Aznavour/Herbert Kretzmer She May be the face I can't forget The trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay She May be the song that summer sings May be the chill that autumn brings May be a hundred different things Within the measure of a day She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into a heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dreams The smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside her shell She Who always seems so happy in a crowd Whose eyes can be so private and so proud No one's allowed to see them when they cry She May be the love that cannot hope to last May come to me from shadows of the past That I'll remember till the day I die She May be the reason I survive The why and wherefore I'm alive The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years Me I'll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I've got to be The meaning of my life is She She, oh she Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
