ladydesigner Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 I just came across this song on another forum and it is beautiful. Just thought I'd share. Hope I can post this here:) Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind You sang me spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Well I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye my almost lover Goodbye my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me in the shade And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you would never ever forget these images no Well I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me Goodbye my almost lover Goodbye my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean I cannot try the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And i bet you are just fine Did i make it that easy to walk Right in and out of my life? Goodbye my almost lover Goodbye my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Why can't you just let me be? So long my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do

lilagirl Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Reminds me of my MM and how he feels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7RLcq4Kn3Y All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go I'm standin' here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go I'm ... There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I think of you Every song I sing, I sing for you When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go Now the time has come to leave you One more time, oh, let me kiss you And close your eyes and I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times that I won't have to say ... Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go And I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
MizFit Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 After Dday number 3 MM emailed me a link to the video and a copy of they lyrics. It was about quarter after 1 and he was on an early flight the next day... Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now woah woaaah. Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now I just need you now (wait) Ooo, baby, I need you now
seren Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Not a song, but a poem. This was sent to me by H after we had D Day and was his way of reaffirming his love to me. Given wrapped around wood violets he had picked. H is not given to sloppy stuff, is a big rugby playing guy and that he had taken time to do these things just meant so much. Hope you don't mind a poem, but it is simply beautiful. The lower case used is typical of Cummings. EE Cummings - i carry your heart i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
BB07 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Sugarland's song, "Stay" is very fitting for a woman involved in an affair. Love the ending. I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call It's just another call from home And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve Oh, for the next time we'll be here Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me? Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need? When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah You keep telling me, baby there will come a time When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine But I don't think that's the truth And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need? When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger And I think I know just what I have to do I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you? So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely, you can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah, oh
MorningCoffee Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 EE Cummings - i carry your heart Beautiful. Thank you.
SavannahSmiles Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 You lost me. Very powerful. Also look her live performance on American Idol. It made me want to cry.
MizzBlue72 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I think this is appropriate .... Saving Abel - Addicted to You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq3MK8dLyvc
secretlady76 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 It's an old one but it's still a winner, Good old Mariah Carey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9KHJN8qj4 There you are holding her hand I am lost Dying to understand Didn't I cherish you right? Don't you know you were my life? Chorus: Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Just cast aside You don't even know I'm alive You just walk on by Don't care to see me cry And here I am Still holding on I can't accept My world is gone No, no Chorus Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside Everyday of my life? Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies? I try and try to deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind Oh no I just can't get you out of my mind I never can say goodbye And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let you go Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go
Citizen Erased Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I hope those that posted lyrics actually wrote the songs. LS doesn't want to get sued I'm sure.
seren Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Secretlady What very powerful lyrics and apt for everyone who's loved and lost. As to copyright, can't we pretend we're having a virtual karaoke and sing a long a thread? On second thoughts, even me singing me virtually is just too much for the world's ears.
Fallen Angel Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I hope those that posted lyrics actually wrote the songs. LS doesn't want to get sued I'm sure. That is why song threads always get shut down. It is okay just to post title and artist, even a YT link to the song, but posting the lyrics is a no-no.
Citizen Erased Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 That is why song threads always get shut down. It is okay just to post title and artist, even a YT link to the song, but posting the lyrics is a no-no. Yep. People will learn one day!
Ms. Red Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 That is why song threads always get shut down. It is okay just to post title and artist, even a YT link to the song, but posting the lyrics is a no-no. I have a vague memory of them being shut down. I always thought it was when lyrics were posted without credits. I'm ignorant. Please explain. TY Edit to add: Maybe it's coz the song writer can be different than the performer?
Author ladydesigner Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 I didn't realize we cannot post lyrics. What are the rules on this?
BB07 Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I can't see why lyrics would be infringing on copyrights, but links to youtube video's certainly can because some of the content on youtube is not within the copyright. Of course I could be wrong.
Citizen Erased Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I can't see why lyrics would be infringing on copyrights, but links to youtube video's certainly can because some of the content on youtube is not within the copyright. Of course I could be wrong. Um because someone WROTE the song. You're only linking to youtube, if there is a copyright violation it would be on youtube's head, not LS. Not everything makes sense around here.
Fallen Angel Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReLuSQ8rKvI The song is called "FARTHER away" .. but whoever made the lyrics mistyped it and made it say "father away".. which I suppose is fitting for many here as well.. lol. **Note** Just because I post songs that appear sad, or angry does not mean I am feeling that way.. they are just songs that I have found that seem to fit a lot of affair relationships. (and I probably felt that way at one time or another.) Edited June 5, 2010 by Fallen Angel
