What are your favourite lines from a song ?

It always brings a tear to my eye annep

Dogsmother LC my favourite singer/singwriter followed by S&G. I also like the lines

After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same.

KatyK pushing my like button for Living Years.

I could have wrote you post from yesterday 10.01 vickya. I too adore KK and have seen him in concert a few times . The Highwaymen concert was amazing and if my memory serves me well they did sing “Me and Bobby McGee* . You’ve got me singing now !

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away.
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year.
I think I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears.
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Also

A certain smile
A certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart
On a merry chase
A fleeting glance
Can say so many lovely things
Suddenly I know why my heart sings

Love this thread, Leonard Cohen all the way ? but....

Still crazy after all these years.
This must be a single line attributed to my life ?

I know what you mean DanniRae. It never goes away.x
There are so many songs I must listen to from this thread. We need a like button.

I can not listen to Adele singing "A Million Years Ago" without crying...........it's the line "I miss my mother". Because I do so much even though she died in 2007

Gillybob I love Jim Croce and that is one of my forever favourites too.

Some great choices on here - we currently have Gold on all the time whilst decorating and so many memories come flooding back. More modern but this makes me cry every time I hear it

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

One More Light Linkin Park

and an oldie Up the Junction - Squeeze - always makes me smile

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

Should add this happened to me a couple of years ago - a man walked into the room I was in, and I have been hooked ever since!

Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

Lean on me, when you're not strong,
I'll be your friend ,I'll help you carry on,
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

I have to go listen to Jim Croce and Joni Mitchell. My husband has some of her albums. Never heard of Jim Croce. Songs play such an important part in our lives whatever mood we are in.

Pretty Maids all in a row antiamp1 brilliant

Funny song.... You Just Stomped on my Heart.John Denver

Saddest song... Goodnight My Angel ..Billy Joel

Love Willie Nelson singing that Jalima best version. Makes me cry though.

I have 4music on the tv, and they're playing this, which deserves a mention, considering how long it was number 1 for..

Look into your heart
You will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am
Take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

Thank you, annp I'm off to have a listen.

Moma lovely!

Lovely song, KatyK

Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
Just to have you back again.
Just to talk with you once again.
(Bread)

I used to be good looking
In my younger days
Now I’m old and feeble
I still got my younger ways

This used to make the DC laugh:
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Then there would be a discussion about which piece she was taking this time
