Let It Grow lyrics

Artist Name - Eric Clapton
Song Lyrics - Let It Grow

Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow.

Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.

Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there's nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.

Chorus

Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do.
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

Chorus

Chorus

REALLY love my girl...

[fizzgig]

4. love my mommy

i'll have to dig that song up on youtube

5. OR...

Unchained Melody Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Everly Brothers Review The Song (0)

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

[Bjornsdotter]

Unchained Melody---The Righteous Brothers

Cheers

[fizzgig]

9. i have such a ridiculously silly memory tied to 'wonderful tonight'

i was only 18 or 19 and my bf and i were on our way home after a night out. we were sitting in the taco bell drive thru when that song came on the radio...he reached over, took my hand and kissed me

not the most romantic setting, by any means, but the connection at that point was so amazing

[Bjornsdotter]

46. That's so sweet

...it's funny how the little things mean so much.

Cheers :toast:

[fizzgig]

75. the little things often make life worth it

:toast:

[Danger Mouse]

7. i can't dance...

but i'll try...for you...
:hide:

[fizzgig]

10. but where's your song?

hmmm?

and i'm sure you'll do just fine (i have slow danced maybe twice in the last eight years)

[Danger Mouse]

14. being totally inept at slow-dancing...

i'd have to get back to you on that one :blush:

[fizzgig]

15. just let me lead, dear

if that doesn't bother you, that is :D

[laylah]

8. THEN there is always

Willie!

Willie Nelson - Stardust Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Instrumental

Though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Instrumental

Though I dream in vain
In my heart there always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

[fizzgig]

11. another one i'll have to dig up

great music mama :D

[laylah]

16. OH MY!

How could I EVER forget "my fella" John...

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?

[laylah]

12. Okay...my last one...

but it IS so beautiful! This one makes me :cry: but then, so do Maxwell House Coffee commercials, as you well know :rofl:

Feels Like Home Lyrics
Artist(Band):Linda Ronstadt
written by Randy Newman
© 1994 Randy Newman Music (ASCAP)

Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you know how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

[fizzgig]

edited to add..Gloria has such a beautiful voice

[fizzgig]

24. great list

i just watched the joe cocker video

:hi:

[laylah]

27. you know...

dad and I "toured" Cocker's place in Crawford? OMG...heliport, HUGE gardens, a library that would have made your grandmother salivate BIG TIME. and so much more. What is amusing, Joe moved there back in the late '70's, bought a humble cabin, just wanted to "be" but then he met his wife. She is quite the "climber". Part of her plans are to buy up the Stewart property (the cabin I stayed in after Telluride for the last 4 years) and put a freakin' HEALTH SPA on it. Some folks just don't get it!

That said, Joe is the BEST slobberer I have EVER seen...next to Hana :rofl:

[fizzgig]

34. you know what my first thought was when i read this?

when the hell did you guys go to texas?!?!?! :rofl:

then i figgered it out

[laylah]

43. ...

:spank:

[Bluerthanblue]

25. "color my world"

[lizziegrace]

39. Every single school dance

ended with that song. And all of us HS flute players had to try to play it. :)

:hug:

[Bjornsdotter]

48. Well we must be about the same age

...but that song makes me want to kill something. I liked it when it came out, but it was so overplayed at every dance and wedding of the time.

Cheers

[lizziegrace]

50. Did you graduate from HS in the mid-late 70's?

I graduated in '78

:)

I know how you feel about the song being overplayed. I still think Transit Authority was their best album. :)

[Bjornsdotter]

It was #1 on the charts back in the sixties, yet it seems like just yesterday. My first dance. Beverley's first dance. Our first slow dance. Our first kiss. Wow, just wow, it was over forty years ago!

[fizzgig]

31. here's one

http://youtube.com/watch?v=9r_TWJlFRxQ
Faith Hill... Lost

Is it obvious to you
When you walk into a room
Your face is all I see
And my heart races so fast
I never knew a rush to feel like that
Every time you're touching me


I never did believe in anything
I couldn't hold between my fingers
But the way you make me feel
It's just so real the way it lingers


I get lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
When everything I have doesn't mean a thing
If it's without you
If it's a dream, don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
I wanna stay lost (forever)
(I wanna stay lost forever with you)


No, this feeling doesn't end
It's with me everywhere I am
Hope it never goes away
It's like defying gravity
Losin' all control and bein' free
And I always wanna stay


I never thought that I'd let go
Long enough to fall for someone deeply
Who had the power to erase my fears
And find me so completely


I get lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
When everything I have doesn't mean a thing
If it's without you
If it's a dream, don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
I wanna stay lost (forever)
(I wanna stay lost forever with you)


Don't tell me where we're goin'
I don't wanna know
I like the mystery (I like the mystery)
I can't believe we've come this far
So far away from where we started off
You found me when I wasn't lookin'
You found me


And now I'm lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
And everything I have doesn't mean a thing
If it's without you
Without you
If it's a dream
Don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
Yeah, if bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
Oh, if bein' lost means that I'm never
Gonna be without you
I wanna stay lost forever
I wanna stay lost forever with you

[fizzgig]

Tim McGraw/Faith Hill

I Need You... *sigh*

:hi:

edit for lyrics: ga.... :P

I Need You
Tim McGraw Featuring Faith Hill

(Tim)
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
I wanna ride across West Virginia, in the back seat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs the rain
And I need you
Like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the Father and the Son need the Holy Ghost
I need you

(Faith)
I wanna get lost in some corner booth, Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us, lay beside you skin on skin
Make love til the sun comes up, til the sun goes down again
Cause I need you

Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs the rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse on a coast
Like the Father and the Son need the Holy Ghost
I need you, OOH I need you

(Tim)
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you, wohh I need you
I need you I need you I need you, I nee-ed you

[laylah]

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin
We could dream this night away.

But theres a full moon risin
Lets go dancin in the light
We know where the musics playin
Lets go out and feel the night.

Because Im still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now its gettin late
And the moon is climbin high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin in your eye.

Because Im still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because Im still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
