It's another girl's paradise..

~Tori Amos

I just read this article in the Atlantic about the musical collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz (Larry) Hart (then Rodgers went on to work with Oscar Hammerstein):

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...-music/309249/

I think the most romantic lyrics I know of, are Hart's My Funny Valentine. The tender way he regards his lover's flaws, is so loving.

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day.

My momma came from a softer generation....where you get a grip and bite ya lip just to save a lil face

You thought the leaden winter, would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer, to the violence of the sun..
Her name was Aphrodite, and she rides a crimson shell
And you want to take her with you, for you've touched the distant sands,
And the tales of brave Uylesses how his naked ears were tortured,
by the sirens sweetly singing...
Cream

Deep within, I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you.

Her/his lips are drippin honey but
She'll/he'll sting you like a bee

Dude · 03-31-2013, 10:48 AM

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

____________________________________and

(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right

(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life

(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead

(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,

(Ho!) I've been sleeping in my bed

(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family

(Hey!) All the blood that I will bleed

(Ho!) I dunno where I belong

(Hey!) I dunno where I went wrong

(Ho!) But I can write a song

(Hey!)

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

It's an older song than the club hit, local musician, kinda country or folk, this is the song that makes me wanna fall in love.

"Big boots and a home out on the range / Twelve kids, don't you think it's a little strange / To Wanna love these things?
Oh, Find me a cowboy who / Gets lost in the moment / Who gets weak when he cries for me / Gets weak when he cries for home / Home out on the range / Don't you think it's a little strange?"

There's a more useful song on that cd, too, called Drinking Again...

Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea

How the faces of love have changed turning
The pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
Ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew

"If you get there before I do,
Don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through.
I don't know how long I'll be.

But I'm not gonna let you down.
Darling, wait and see.
And between now and then
'Til I see you again,

I'll be loving you.
Love, Me"

PinkieLee · 04-05-2013, 12:23 PM

Some believe in destiny
some believe in fate
well I believe that happiness is something we create
you best believe that I'm not gonna wait....

I was sitting here listening to the radio on the internet, and this song really resonated with me. I've heard it before, loved it when it was released, and still love it now. Who hasn't felt this way? Who hasn't (unfortunately) made someone feel this way?

[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVjbo8dW9c8"]Mark Wills - Don't Laugh At Me - YouTube[/nomedia]

I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call the geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I've got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep

I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
You don't have to be my friend
But is it too much to ask

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes, we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm the cripple on the corner
You've passed me on the street
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet

I lost my wife and little boy when
Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
And right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign, so

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

PinkieLee · 04-10-2013, 12:29 PM

I'm gonna dance up on the table
singing "This Little Light of Mine"
God gave it to me, what good's it gonna do me
if I don't, by God, let it shine

deathbypoem · 08-12-2013, 12:56 PM

deathbypoem · 02-26-2014, 12:57 PM

We stumble into our lives:
Reach for a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

PinkieLee · 02-26-2014, 01:16 PM

All of these lines across my face
tell you the story of who I am
so many stories of where I've been
and how I got to where I am
