Whether you can't stop bawling or you're starting to be able to listen again, let's celebrate him (and express how you're feeling) with his amazing words. How I'm feeling right now:

Oh, my friends all say it's just a phase, but, oh, every day is a yellow day. I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard.

From Under the Cherry Moon

I am nothing without your touch my love

I am nothing without your kiss

2 spend each night

in your arms, my flower

Is this man's idea of bliss

2 not hear your voice each day

Is 2 die 7 times by God's wrath

If I was anything other than human

I'd be the water in your bath

Till then, my love, ciao

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and together they would be
The only thing that ever made u cry
U said the devil told u that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all your tears,
And love will always leave u lonely

It's only mountains & the sea
And the girls say
There's nothing greater, than U & me

i haven't been able to listen to it yet, but that "every day is a yellow day, i'm blinded by the daisies
in your yard" line has been in my head since i first read the news. i've changed my fbpage to a field
of daisies.

Don't make me say I need U like a begger man
Why don't U let me come inside?
I'm the type of male that a girl like U is in need of
Sho' U right
I could take U sailing in a glass bottom boat
U could drink wine while I read poems that I wrote

.

I always liked that one for some reason.

If your last December came
What would you do?
Will anybody remember
To remember you?

Did you stand tall?
Or did you fall?
Did you give your all?

Did you ever find a reason
Why you had to die?
Or did you just plan on leaving
Without wondering why?

DEARLY BELOVED,

We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life

Electric life that means forever and that's a mighty long time

But I'm here to tell you... there's something else...

The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness

You can always see the Sun day or night..........

Love you Prince

"There's so much information for the next generation who gonna drop it if you're not there?

Mostly though I just hope he was happy.

"Sometimes it snows in April

Sometimes eye feel so bad

Sometimes eye wish life was never ending

and all good things, they say, never last"

"Free"

Is it me or did the room just get darker

is it me or did i just lay down and die

is this a dream or did the world just crumble at my very

feet?

How in heaven will I ever be alright?

There is Lonely and there is lonely

And then there is how I feel right now

Perhaps only Cain when he'd slain his brother

Could ever come close 2 knowing how

There is Lonely and there is lonely

and then there is how I feel right now

I identified with this song because i suffer from depression and Prince had to

know how it felt to wtite this little song, it help me in my darkest hours and will continue

to,

'

I know U're out there
I can feel Ur eyes on me
Seen that face a 1000 times
If only in my dreams......

.....And even though
I'm all alone
4 what it's worth
U're somewhere here on Earth

Thanks for this thread, his lyrics have been therapeutic for me.

These words are spooky now:

I Wanna Be Your Lover

I ain't got no money, I ain't like those other guys you hang around.

It's kinda funny, but they always seem to let you down. #Prince

"And as sure as this candle burns
Every soul must return

Into the light, into the light"

"Maybe he's looking 4 a brand new world

Maybe he's looking 4 a brand-new high

Maybe he would like a nice condo overlookin' the rings of Saturn.

Maybe he wants affection, instead of a perfect life.

Maybe he doesn't know what he wants at all."

Not playing too much music right now. Just prefer singing the songs myself.

REVELATION

If ever....

There were ever....

Such a thing as time....

It's useless....

So useless to me now....

For in your arms is everything....

Everything....

"They'll Never Be Another Like Me".

How did I get in this predicament?
How did I get in this jam?
The person that they accuse me of being of
That's not the one I really am

I am the one that really loves u
With all my mind, body and soul
With every stroke of my brush I wanna paint a wall around u
So that u will never know

All the pain that a human has 2 go through
In a planet that's so bitter and cold
Universal love awaits u baby
All u got 2 say is that u really really really want 2 go
And we're outta here

roses are red

violets are blue

i'm too sad to rhyme

cause you left us and are never coming back and we all totally miss you
