We've had a thread about this before.... but I canna find it!..
Most people consider the melody as the most important part of a song, but I like lyrics.
This thread is for Lyrics that inspire, or mean something to you.

and tomorrow hasn't started,
all that really matters is right now....'

"Imagine" by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

'Yesterday Has Gone' by 'Cupids Inspiration.'
I've never heard of Cupids Inspiration. Can you enlighten me Carole??
I know that the song was also recorded by Little Anthony & Imperials and written by their producer (who also wrote "Goin' Out of My Head")
Simon & Garfunkel's "I am a Rock" always gets me thinking.....
1. A winter's day in a deep and dark December:
I am alone, gazing from my window
to the streets below on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
Refr: I am a rock, I am an island
2. I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty
that none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship,
friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
Refrain
Don't talk of love, but I've heard these words before.
It's sleeping in my memory, I won't disturb the slumber
of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried.
Refrain
I have my books and my poetry to protect me.
I am shielded in my armour. Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no-one and no-one touches me.
Refrain
And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries.
Paul. |

Of All The Things
Our Dusty
(dennis lambert / brian potter)
Of all the things Ive ever done
Finding you will prove to be
The most important one
I would never trade the tears
The conversation no-one hears
The learning how to walk before we run
Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down
Except the one I sent up with you
I dont wanna change a thing
Break the spell
Cut the string
When every wish I made is coming true
With you
Sometimes I forget
To say how much I love you
Purposely I bet
cause Im so busy thinking of you
So, in this world of odds and ends
Id rather have a part of you
Than all of my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
Of all the things I ever wanna do
I think Ill start and end with loving you
Oh, you have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
Of all the things I ever wanna do
I think Ill start and end with loving you
You Set My Dreams To Music
Our Dusty again 
(steve dorff / m. a. leikin)
Oh, Im loving what I see
Each time you smile at me
I love the look of what youre thinking
I know how it feels to fly
Im glowing like the sky thats on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
No-one else I ever knew
Touch me quite like you
Or say as much
Without a word now
Love, Im hoping you can see a songs inside of me
That holds more love
Than any song youve heard, now
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
I know how it feels to fly
Im glowing like the sky
Thats on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
Ah, ha, you set my dreams to music
Sweet, sweet, sweet music
Ah, ha, you set my dreams
Sweet, sweet, sweet music
You set my dreams to music
Yeah, oh yeah
Sweet, sweet music

Goin Back
..and I can play hide and seek with my fears, and live my days, instead of countin' my years..
'Let every one debate the true reality, I'd rather see the world the way it used to be.
A liitle bit of freedom is all we lack, so, catch me if you can, I'm Goin Back..
You were Always on my mind
Little things I could've said or done, I just never took the time, but you were always on my mind, you were always on my mind.

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
'Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
And it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much
Lyrics that we can all relate to I think.

These lyrics make me dream of holidays and trips!!!
(Mary chapin carpenter)
What if we went to italy
A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer
I don't speak a word of italian
Except for campari and soda for two, how much is a lire
Yes, a villa will do and a breeze, in tuscany please
What if we spent all of our days, improving our minds, learning new ways to be lazy
It wouldn't be too much of a strain
Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around
Can't wait for dinner, oh, I need to lie down
And refuel, out by the pool
What if the ancients were lazy like us
Too blissed out to paint, to sketch or to sculpt
Just as relaxed as the tower of pisa
Not ever missing that old mona lisa
What if we never got back on the plane
As summer turned colder and then warmer again
Losing all track of the passing of years
Till it no longer mattered how long we'd been here
What if we went to italy
Maybe next year, just you and me for the summer
I still can't speak any italian
But words are replaced under siennese skies
By nothing so much as a nod, and a sigh, and a wish to be always like this

To Comfort You - Bette Midler
You've been down in the dumps
it seems like forever.
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out
the way you imagined.
It all looks unreachable to you.
You don't know for the life of you
what is missing,
or why it always happens to you.
And you don't like yourself,
you feel nobody's listening.
You don't need another platitude.
For a moment you forget
and a smile comes to your face.
Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
It's like a string you got tied
around your finger
reminding you of
everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
And I'd love to be the reason
a smile comes to your face,
even if it doesn't last too long.
And I'd love to take that string
you've got tied around your finger
reminding you of everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.

At Your Side - The Corrs
When the daylight's gone, & you're on your own
And you need a friend, just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand
And you know that...
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together, we'll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
And you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side
If life's standing still, and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You can't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around
And you know that
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
And you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
You've got somewhere to go
'Coz I'm right there
I'll be at your side
I'll be right there for you
(Together we'll survive)
Through the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
You've got somewhere to go
'Coz I'm at your side
Yeeeah, I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you yeah
I'm right at your side

Al Stewart & Peter Wood
"Year of the Cat"
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
*Amy*

Courtesy of The Who, here's one of my favourite lyrics (and my anthem, lol)
You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
But inside you've got something to write
In your hand you hold your only friend
Never spend your guitar or your pen
