"I've Loved You Before"

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice.
When your smile can be so soothing,
a familiar paradise.
When there's no one else that makes me whole.
I'm never wanting more
I get this feeling that I have loved you before

We were lovers in an army,
marching off for Rome.
Were we side by side in battle,
did we bravely leave our home?
Did I hold you in my arms,
as you were taking your last breath?
Did I shout to all the gods,
that I would love you beyond death?
I swear I've loved you before.

Did we hide in the dark ages,
from a vengeful god above?
Were our names too unfamiliar,
to ever speak of love?
Did I cling to every moment with you,
every parting glance?
An accidental touch,
did we ever take the chance?
I know I've loved you before.

Have I wandered through the desert?
Have I looked at the North Star?
Have I rode the days and nights on rails,
to get back where you are?
And every time I found you,
it's your eyes I know for sure.

When I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice.
When your smile can be so soothing,
a familiar paradise.
When there's no one else that makes me whole.
I'm never needing more.
I get this feeling.
I know I've loved you before.

I know I've loved you before.


I've loved you before.

Chasing Cars ~ Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Right now I have two. Can't Smile Without You and Sleigh Ride. Can't smile without you because of HellBoy 2 and Sleigh ride because it drives my cousin nuts. He hates that particular carol, so I sing right through Christmas to bug him. I'm so mean.

The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie/Nirvana

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me, I never lost control
You're face to face with The Man Who Sold The World


I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? Not me, we never lost control
You're face to face with the Man who Sold the World

Oh no, not me, I never lost control
You're face to face with The Man Who Sold The World

This will be a 2fer (provided IE will let me post this w/o crashing on me), since I've had both of these songs stuck in my head tonight

"Screamin' for More" - Dangerous Toys

Like a high flyer, I am reachin' for the stars
Stumble over clouds in the way, I've never tried so hard
With a voice inside my head askin' are you the one
Does an angel fly for answers, can the eagle just fly for fun

Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more

A million dollars, a house on the hill
A girl that looks like you
Just ain't enough to prey for as I look into this empty room
Seems all I have to do is wrap my wings around the sun
I'll keep on screaming your name, until you call I dream you're the one


Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more

I've had to ask myself, plenty of times
Do I really want to see this tru
But the look on your face before you turned away from me
Told me it had to be true
Can't you tell me what you're thinkin', can't you see me
Comin' back for more
If you want me, come and get me
Can't you hear me screamin' for more


"Lucky" - Bif Naked
It was a Monday, when my lover told me,
"Never pay the reaper with love only.
What could I say to you, except, "I love you"
and "I'd give my life for yours".

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear

The first time we made love I I wasn't sober
and you told me you love me over and over
how can i ever love another
when i miss you everday

Remember the time we made love in the roses?
and you took my picture in all sorts of poses
how could I ever get over you, when I'd give my life for yours

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear

My dear,
It's time to say I thank God for you.
I thank God for you, in each and every single way.
And, I know(I know)..I know(I know)..I know(I know)..
I know(I know)..
It's time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to let you know.
Time to sit here and say:

I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones
I know we are..we are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear, dear
We are the lucky ones, dear...
We are the lucky ones, dear.
We are the lucky ones, dear.

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

23:59 End of the World

23:59
End of the world
Central European Time
A central European girl

Too scared to love
Unprepared for love
She trips and falls down the stairs for love
Like a princess bride
With an all over bruise
She tries so hard to hide
With make-up and shoes

Too scared to love
Unprepared for love
She trips and falls down the stairs for love

23:59
End of the world

Release the tic-a-tape
Put the candles on the cake
I'll tell the Boys Brigade
To learn the songs from the hit parade
Say it loud and say it proud
All the drinks are on the house
Let the coloured flags unfurl
For a central European girl
Too scared
For love

23:59
(Central European Time
Central European Time
23:59)
End of the world

"Believe" - Savatage

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
One your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
Aheart of stone
Lies bleeding


And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for allthe fears youhad to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is

Believe

shadowsfate I just listened to that ^^^ on youtube. I like it, thanks for posting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sduv77oPXjk

It's been one of my favorite songs since the first time I heard it. And as I recall, I was listening to the song the night my son was born. (And, apparently great minds think alike, that was the exact vid I was watching/listening to when I was typing in the lyrics )

Oh, and I think it may be one of me son's least favorite song, due to the fact every time I play it, he has to put up with my attempts to sing it

Just ask the lonely

When you feel that you can make it all alone,
Remember no one is thinking of going alone

Just ask the lonely...
They know the hurt and pain,
Of losing a love you can never regain

Just ask the lonely

The young and foolish laugh at love
So they run away...
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way

But ask the lonely....
How vainly a heart can yearn,
For losing a love that will never return

Just ask the lonely....
They'll tell you...

They'll tell you a story of sadness,
A story too hard to believe...

They'll tell you the loneliest one is me

Just ask the lonely
Ask me...
I'm the loneliest one you'll see
Just ask the lonely

"Leave the Past Behind" - Fates Warning

And here we are again the door is closed behind us
And the long road lies ahead
Where do we go from here

It's time to make a change
Lets trace the problem to its source
No more riding the waves
On a river that's run its course

I stood at the door to a new beginning
Two choices before me and I was afraid

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Bury your pride and say goodbye
Leave the past behind

Tied to a fading memory
Of something lost in time
Afraid to make the change
Scared to leave the past behind

I stood at the door to a new beginning
The future called and frightened I turned away

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind

We stand at the door to a new beginning
Two choices before us don't be afraid

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind

Leave the past behind
The long road lies ahead
Close your eyes, forget the fear
Leave the past behind
