Ok, I know there is a thread about favourite lines from a book but songs contain great lines too...
What are your favourites?
If you can, add a You Tube link.

So, one of my favourites is:

"At the end of the river, the sun down beams.
All the relics of a life long lived.
Here weary traveller rest your wand,
Sleep the journey from your eyes."



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

shut up and kiss me

mary chapin carpenter
You ask me how much I need you, must I explain
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You've got to fight just to make it through
Cause I will be the death of you

"Breath" - Breaking Benjamin
"Sometimes, not often enough, we reflect upon the good things.
And those thoughts always centre around those we love.
And I think about those people who mean so much to me,
And for so many years have made me, so very happy.
And I count the times I have forgotten, to say, thank you,
And just how much I love them."



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

I am the fire by Halestorm
Instead I'm on the edge of all I thought I would be
This dream is now a comedy I don't wanna see
Some people call it laughter but I call it pain
Baby take me anywhere but not here again

Caro Emerald -Stuck




"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence

The Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Stephen Sondheim - Losing My Mind, Follies
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12
"You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger,
Do you have to,
Do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?"

R.I.P. Delores O'Riordan. 1971-2018
Another wonderful talent taken far too soon.

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

"If you really want to make a difference, don't over think it, just do it..."
"Scars of life are deeply etched within the minds of curious old souls."
The Ones Who Like Me -Brantley Gilbert 🍻
Oh yeah
Ain't gonna lie, I can count on both hands
My down to ride 'til the day I die friends
To get them, I'd like to think
That I'm few and far between
Guys like me, you want in an alley with ya
Up a creek, ain't a doubt I'm gonna paddle with ya
Go to bat, go to church, go to battle with ya
They can say what they want about me, but

The ones that need me got me
The ones that doubt me can't stop me
Even the ones that said forget him
You can bet they ain't forgot me
Either wanna hit me or hold me
Those that hate me don't know me
And the ones that don't trust anybody trust me
Yeah, the ones that like me love me

My Competition Story : 💜 Milly's Adventure https://www.storiesspace.com/stories/childrens/millys-adventure-2

I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that I'm not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin' back at me


"Dismal Day" by Bread

I saw you smiling
As if I could forget
That we were lovers
The moment that we met...

"Let me forget about today until tomorrow." - Bob Dylan
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

- Evanescence, "Bring me to life"

Oh babe, I got it crazy
We both been broken in sorrow
We need to try for tomorrow
Where our feeling start and I lose my heart to you
Oh lover, I've just discovered
My life was falling around me

I Go for You
Andy Gibb

Gotta be a place to go in the midnight hour
Heart of a women and just a little bit of pulling power
The feelings got me
I don't know what it means
I know it must be wrong
But when you love somebody you dream
And I dream

Man On Fire ~ Andy Gibb

Sticking with the Gibb family:

This world has lost it's glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love right now there'll be
No other time and I can show you
How my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away

- Words, The Bee Gees (Hell, I could probably post the whole damn song I love it so much)

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me…

- I Started a Joke, The Bee Gees

Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop till the whole word knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light
My shadow is over you 'cause I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance
(Dancé!)

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
Pop Goes the World (also Men Without Hats)

Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass.
Name of the band is The Human Race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop goes the world.

Jenny played keyboard, Johnny played drums,
Called Little Baby and a big Bonhomme
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop Goes The World

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl ooh)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh yeah
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame (ooh hey hey hey)
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim (oh yes I do)
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout…
Darlin' darlin' stand by me, ooh stand by me Oh stand
Stand stand by me C'mon stand by me stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Well should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't she'd a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

stand by me
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

We've Got Tonight - Bob Seger

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And, you know, wherever I am
I'll come running (oh yeah, baby)
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, (yeah yeah yeah)
You've got a friend

(I really need to look back, eh? I posted the same verse almost two years ago, probably when I first heard the cover by Disturbed.)
