Songs

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”

Music for me is food for soul and poetry of life.. Something that lights me up, plays in my head, vibrates my soul, numbs my mind and soothes my life. Ever been humbled by music, danced to that number in reckless abandon, sang along oblivious to the audience? Happens with me always.. Passions flare, colours dance and life comes alive with a new meaning when am immersed in enchanting music.

Marcel Marceau says, “Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.” I totally agree! Here is an attempt to share all those lyrics and numbers that touched me in minute ways. Each of these are special, for some tug my heart by their stirring music, whilst some charm me with their soulful lyrics.

Dedicated For Love With Love..

“I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life”

“I Knew I Loved You” (Savage Garden)

***************************

“All day long I can hear people talking aloud
But when you hold me near
you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What’s been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes
Saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand
Says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all”

‘The Smile On Your Face’ by Alison Krauss

***************************

“I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish I’ll be your fantasy.
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful ’cause I’m counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning. Yeah..

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I’ll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest powers. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me…”

“Truely Madly Deeply” (Savage Garden)

***************************

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed!
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn’t said.
The world was in bloom. there were stars in the skies,
Except for the few that were there in your eyes.

Dear, as I held you close in my arms,
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms.
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low,
“Darling, I love you so.”

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn.
The sun shone anew, but the dance lingered on.
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime,
We’d find that our love is unaltered by time.

‘Anniversary Song’ By Al Jolson and Saul Chaplin

***************************

“If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she’s my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes”

“If Tomorrow Never Comes” By Ronan Keating

***************************

“The skies are not as blue, when you’re not with me
The stars, they never seem to shine as bright
And the hours crack like days across the ages
And a year or two pass by with every night.”

Find Me by David Gates

***************************

“Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts beat together
Oh baby, cause it feel so good
When were close like this
Whisper in my ear and let me steal a kiss

Come on and touch me
When were dancing
You know you have got that loving touch
Touch me when were dancing
I want to feel you when Im falling in love”

“Touch Me When We are Dancing (Carpenters)

***************************

“Watching the girl I’m reminded she’s quite a lot like me
Trapped in the suburbs of wonderland, lost in her own fantasy
Somehow my heart never grew up, no one ever burst my balloon
So here I am swirling in star dust slow dancing with the moon”

Slow Dancing With The Moon By Pardon Dolly

***************************

“We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time”

Seasons in the Sun- Westlife

I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine

Once Upon A Broken Heart By Beu Sisters

Long before
It begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth”

Beautiful Expressions..

“How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.”

Wish You Were Here By Gilmour Waters, Pink Floyd

***************************

“You are only coming through in waves,
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying,
When I was a child,
I caught a fleeting glimpse,
out of the corner of my eye,
I turned to look but it was gone,
I cannot put my finger on it now,
The child is grown,
The dream has gone,
And I have become
Comfortably Numb”

“Comfortably Numb” on The Wall (Pink Floyd)

***************************

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

“Coming Back To Life” By Pink Floyd

***************************

“Let me drink from the waters , where the mountain streams flood,
Let the smell of wild flowers flow free thru’ my blood.
Let me sleep in the meadows , with the green grass and leaves;
Let me walk down the highway , with my brother and peace”

‘Let Me Die in My Footsteps’ By Bob Dylan

***************************

How many roads must a man walk down
before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes n how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they`re forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

‘Blowin in the wind‘ By Bob Dylan

***************************

And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise……..
The hope you kindle in your eyes

– Roger Waters

“Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day,
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown,
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine, Staying home to watch the rain,
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find, ten years have gone behind you
No one told you when to run, You missed the starting gun.”

“Time” on The Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd, 1973)

***************************

“Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.”

Somewhere Over the Rainbow” By E. Y. Harburg

***************************

“I see trees of green.. red roses too..
I see them bloom.. for me and for you..
And I think to myself….
What a wonderful world!

I see skies of blue, clouds of white..
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights..
And I think to myself ….
What a wonderful world!

The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky..
Are also on the faces.. of people going by..
I see friends shaking hands, sayin how do you do..
Theyre really sayin..I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow..
Theyll learn much more, than I will never know..
And I think to myself ….
What a wonderful world!”

“What a Wonderful World”  by Louis Armstrong

“Day is ended, dim my eyes,
but journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call.
The ship’s beside the stony wall.”

Bilbo’s Last Song by J.R.R. Tolkien

***************************

“I haven’t really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it

But if my life is for rent and I don’t lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
Well how can I say I’m alive”

Life For Rent By Dido

***************************

You can add up the parts
But you won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee

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

Anthem By Leonard Cohen

***************************

“Summer. When the day is over
there’s a heart a little colder;
someone said goodbye,
but you don’t know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
All the tears they have been weeping,
Someone said goodbye,
But you don’t know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don’t know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there’s a reason,
I don’t know why.”

Someone Said Goodbye By Enya

***************************

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

The Sound Of Silence (Simon And Garfunkel)

***************************

Each day I live
I want to be a day to give the best of me
I’m only one, but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet, I faced the pain
I rise and fall,
Yet through it all this much remains

I want one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

I’ve lived to be the very best
I want it all, no time for less
I’ve laid the plans
Now lay the chance here in my hands

You’re a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams
Are a heart beat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be, I will be, I will be free

One Moment In Time By Whitney Housten

***************************

Have you ever wonder where the story ends, and how it all began, I do
Did you ever dream you were the movie star with popcorn in your hand, I did
Do you ever think you’re someone else inside, when no one understands you are
And wanna disappear inside a dream but never wanna wake, wake up
Then you stumble on tomorrow, and trip over today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn’t for the weather
You’re gonna be just fine

Are you not afraid to tell your story now, when everyone is done it’s too late
Was everything you’ve ever said or done not the way you planned, mistake
So you promised that tomorrow, be different than today

You’re racing for tomorrow, not finished with today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn’t for the weather
I think you’re gonna be just fine.

“Would You Be Happier” By The Corrs

***************************

I’m so tired
I can’t sleep
Standing on the edge of something
Much to deep.
It’s funny how we feel so much
And cannot say a word
We’re screaming inside
But we can’t be heard

“I Will Remember You” By Kenny Rogers
