The first verse of In My Life by the Beatles

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

Moving from place to place throughout my childhood and early adult years, I always think this sums me up.

Some times when we touch, the honesty's too much!

I am the son, and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.

You’re in my heart you’re in my soul
You’ll be my friend when I grow old

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest,
Like a mountain in springtime,
Like a walk in the rain...

How long has this been going on?

But if this ever changin' world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry......

So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we aint that young any more
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You aint a beauty but hey you're alright.

AND

Just wrap your legs around these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines

There is definitely a theme starting in my choices

You are my heart's delight,
And where you are, I long to be.
You make my darkness bright,
When like a star you shine on me.

There she stood, in the street.. smiling from her head to her feet.

With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger
That i’ve learned to know
Find a peace of mind I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again
And I belong again

I'm a sentimental old fool.
That's me talking, by the way, not some lyrics.

I love these threads.

If you can't give me love honey that ain't enough
let me go look for somebody else
And if you can give me feelings with old fashioned meanings
just stay in love with yourself ............

Just let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let your love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean
It's the season

But when we get behind closed doors,
And she lets her hair hang down,
Then she makes me glad that I`m her man,
For no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I heard that song sung by Charlie Rich back in 1975, and have loved it ever since.

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

I love that one, too callgirl.
Its very earthy, with his lovely raspy voice.

Grant my last request
And just let me hold you
Don’t shrug your shoulders
Lay down beside me
Sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere
But one last time let’s go there
Lay down beside me.

(And yes, it bugs me too - the use of lay instead of lie, but I still love these lyrics)

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

If you want the fruit to fall,
You have to give the tree a shake,
But if you shake the tree too hard,
The bough is gonna break ...
(Mary's Prayer)

OMG chewy I can’t believe you chose my most favourite, saddest song ever. Whenever I am feeling down I have to listen to this Joni Mitchell song on repeat. The words are so true and lovely and yet so sad.

Can I add the song we played at my 2nd husbands funeral . A song I can’t listen to without tears (even after all this time) by Jim Croce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
TIl eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that never came true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you .........

Bathsheba I love Paolo but I cant choose just one of his songs .
Autumn makes me cry ,Iron Sky fills me with pride ,these streets makes me smile .

We obviously share the same taste in music gilly! I can remember the exact place, who i was with, and what I was wearing the first time I heard Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle. One of the loveliest and most poignant songs ever; especially as he died shortly after releasing it.
