What's your favourite love song?

[presidentholmes]

And why?

Mine is, "Love Song For A Vampire", by Annie Lennox from the film Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Not because it's scary or anything, but because it's about a love that lasts till the end of time and how he lost is love and how he would do anything to get her back.

(Sighs)

I'm such a big soppy.

Re: What's your favourite love song?

"No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley. The first song a man I loved very much ever sang to me. I remember being very upset over something my father had done. It touched me deeply that my then man wanted me to feel better and hated to see me cry.

Sigh. To find a man who wants to take care of me that well now! I'm still looking . . .

Re: What's your favourite love song?

I know lots of GREAT love songs. What a great thread, I could go on and on for ages with this one. My new fave is this:

When Did You Fall (Chris Rice)


You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile, and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at its joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise

Chorus:
When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?


Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind
C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by meI bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right here before my eyesYou’re my beautiful surprise

Bridge:
Was it at the coffee shopOr that morning at the bus stop
When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand
Or the time we built the snowman
The day at the beach, sandy and warm
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm
I never saw the signs
Now we’ve got to make up for lost time
And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me
I’d better finish this song so my lips will be free

Another good one is Green and Gray by Nickel Creek, it's about lost love, but it has one really great part.

I want you to love me he whispers unable to speak
and he wonders aloud why feelings so strong makethe body so weak.
Then he awoke. Now he's scared to death somebody heard.
If it was you, and you know her please don't say a word.

Re: What's your favourite love song?

here's another


Lemonade (also by Chris Rice)

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
'Cause nobody knows what's coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
'Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm your trembling hand with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we're swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

I've got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs wiith a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We're gonna need another straw!
We're gonna need another straw!

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

Re: What's your favourite love song?

I agree, there are so many songs that have touched my heart. Here are a couple of my favorites.

That's All - Version by Hank Ballard and Thee Midnighters

I can only give you love that lasts forever
and the promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own is for you and you alone
That's all That's all

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall.
And the love whose burning light will warm the winter night
Tha'ts all . That's all

There are those I am sure who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
and the love time can never destroy.

If you are wondering what I'm asking in return dear
you'll be glad to know my demands are small.
Say its me that's you ll adore for now and ever more
Thats'a all. That's all

Say its me that's you'll adore for now and ever more
That's all. That's all.


I have a very qwirky sense of humor and also a qwirky romantic side. The next song is called Fairytale of New York by the Pogues (Shane McGowan) singing with Christy McCall. Bold lyrics Man singing. Regular = Woman singing. Blue - they both sing Wish I knew how to post a music link becasue this song you just have to hear.


Fairytale of New York.

It was Christmas Eve Babe in the drunk tank
an old man said to me "won't see another one."
And then he sang a song - The rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away and dreamed about you.

Got on a lucky one,
came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling this years for me and you.
So happy Christmas, I love you baby.
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true.

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
on a cold Christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me.

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing...........
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed in the corner
Then we danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day...........

You're a bum, You're a punk, You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot, You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day...........

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
when I first found you.
I kept them with me babe,
I put them with my own.
Can't make it all alone
I've build my dreams around you.

You're a bum, You're a punk, You're an old slut on junk

You scumbag, you maggot, You cheap lousy faggot

Sniff-sniff (dabs corner of eye) This verse really touched me.......

[dotsamantha]

Re: What's your favourite love song?

Two Dave Matthews Band songs and a Sarah Mclachlan song
I love musice, especially sappy songs

"Let You Down"

I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the top
So I can see the view from up there
Tangled in your hair

I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind

I let you down, oh, forgive me
You give me love
Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see what's on my mind
You could look inside and see what's on my mind

I let you down
How could I be such a fool like me
I let you down
Tail between my legs
I'm a puppy for you love
I'm a puppy for you love

I have no lid upon my head
but if I did
you could look inside and see
what's on my mind, oh its you

I let you down

I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love

Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
I let you down

"Crash into Me"

You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you


You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream


Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
please come crash into me
In a boys dream
In a boys dream


If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me all
in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
close to me


Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream.. In a boys dream


Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me

"Possession" Sarah Mclachlan

Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide,
Voices trapped in yearning,
memories trapped in time,
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide,
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied?

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
to find the truth enslaved,
Oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhyme
My body aches to breathe your breath,
you words keep me alive,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander,
it's morning that I dread,
Another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread,
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride,
Nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear
