Romantic songs What are the most romantic songs you have ever heard?
I'm really digging this one lately... Isis ~ Bob Dylan I married Isis on the fifth day of May, But I could not hold on to her very long. So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong. I came to a high place of darkness and light. The dividing line ran through the center of town. I hitched up my pony to a post on the right, Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down. A man in the corner approached me for a match. I knew right away he was not ordinary. He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" I said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary." We set out that night for the cold in the North. I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word. I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth. I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard." I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold, I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace. As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold, I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless. How she told me that one day we would meet up again, And things would be different the next time we wed, If I only could hang on and just be her friend. I still can't remember all the best things she said. We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice. He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find. If I carry it out it'll bring a good price." 'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind. The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous. We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn. When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious, But I made up my mind that I had to go on. I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty. There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had. When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly, When I took up his offer I must-a been mad. I picked up his body and I dragged him inside, Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover. I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied. Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her. She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise. Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed, I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes. I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead. She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special." She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, I guess." She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural." She said, "You gonna stay." I said, "If you want me to, yes." Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child. What drives me to you is what drives me insane. I still can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

And this one....
Blue Veins ~ The Raconteurs When I was surrounded by the world You were the only one who came And you were the only one astounded Which kept me grounded As the other girls thrashed my very name Then I looked over Just in time to see her smiling back at me And saying everything's OK As long as you're inside my blue veins Your blue veins Yeah and the feeling that you gave me No matter what I do or where I go It always will remain And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck Cause you'll protect me from all pain The most beautiful, yeah the most beautiful thing cause anything else can't compare Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins Your blue veins And I know you won't deceive me Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain You always were the first one to believe me When I said to you girl I think it's gonna rain But I could be wrong Yeah but all of these things All these things They're all truly nice but ain't nothing Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins Your blue veins In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would merengue and do the cha-cha And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4 They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more? At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....they fell in love (Copa Copacabana) His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there And when she finished, he called her over But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two There was blood and a single gun shot But just who shot who? At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....she lost her love (Copa. . Copacabana) (Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh) (Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana) (Talking Havana have a banana) (Music and passion...always the fash--shun) Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show Now it's a disco, but not for Lola Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind She lost her youth and she lost her Tony Now she's lost her mind! At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....don't fall in love (Copa) don't fall in love Copacabana Copacabana | |

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side? I may be climbing on rainbows But, baby here goes. Dreams they’re for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep, And if you’re wondering what this song is leading to I want to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. No, you don’t know me well, In every little thing only time will tell If you believe the things that I do. Then we’ll see it through. Life can be short or long, Love can be right or wrong, And if I choose the one I’d like to help me through, I’d like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. Baby you know that Dreams they’re for those who sleep, Life is for us to keep And if I choose the one I’d like to help me through, I’d like to make it with you I really think that we can make it girl. | |

We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight, should we lose our way If as we're walkin a hand should slip free I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me We swore we'd travel, darlin', side by side We'd help each other to stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently But I'll wait for you And if I should fall behind Wait for me Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true But you and I know what this world can do So let's make our steps clear, so that the other may see And I'll wait for you If I should fall behind Wait for me Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me Darlin' I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me -Springsteen ("If I Should Fall Behind") | |

When your imagination has too much to say
When the chill of the night meets the sweat of the day And you have trouble understanding what other people have to say You'd better Hang on to your emotions Hang on to your emotions When a demagogue inside your head has taken charge And by default what you say or do is criticized And this litany of failures is recited a thousand times You'd better Hang on to your emotions, hang on to your emotions Could it be you've never felt like that? That your mind's a cage - inside the cage a cat That spits and scratches all it can get at And that's you, and your emotions? Could it be you've never felt like that? Your mind's a cage - inside the cage a rat rabidly trying to get at you And your emotions You and your emotions When your imagination has too much to say When that facile voice inside your head says Give your life away You might think to ask how it got that way What books it has read that make it that way And where it got the right to speak to anyone that way You'd better Hold on to your emotions hold on to your emotions When a night city's breeze blows across the room And a 5 a.m. moon and sun start their swoon You hear your lover's breath And not a moment too soon You get to Release all your emotions You get to Let go of your emotions - Lou Reed ("Hang on to Your Emotions") | |

A case of you ~ Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constant in the darkness Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue tv screen light I drew a map of canada Oh canada And your face sketched on it twice Oh you are in my blood like holy wine Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you darling And I would still be on my feet Oh I’d still be on my feet Oh I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened by the devil And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid I remember that time that you told me, you said Love is touching souls Surely you touched mine Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh you are in my blood like holy wine And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you darling Still I’d be on my feet And still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said Color go to him, stay with him if you can Oh but be prepared to bleed Oh but you are in my blood you’re my holy wine Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I’d be on my feet I’d still be on my feet In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Ah, you’ve got such understanding ways
I believe everything that you say Smiling faces not forgotten ’cause I love you When I think of all the things we’ve done And we haven’t even yet begun Smiling faces not forgotten ’cause I love you Just for a little while Oh, just to see you smile Just for a little while You’ve got such understanding ways Oh, I believe, I believe every word that you say Smiling faces not fogotten ’cause I love you
That and the one I posted on the other thread...  It's been in my head for weeks...
Love of mine some day you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black And I held my toungue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love" So I never went back If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark You and me have seen everything to see From Bangcock to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about Cause we'll hold each other soon The blackest of rooms If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark |

The Smiths - There is a Light
Take me out tonight Where there’s music and there’s people And they’re young and alive Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven’t got one Anymore Take me out tonight Because I want to see people and i Want to see life Driving in your car Oh, please don’t drop me home Because it’s not my home, it’s their Home, and I’m welcome no more And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don’t care I don’t care, I don’t care And in the darkened underpass I thought oh god, my chance has come at last (but then a strange fear gripped me and i Just couldn’t ask) Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care I don’t care, I don’t care Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven’t got one, da ... Oh, I haven’t got one And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine Oh, there is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out | |

There's this little ode to monogamy that I've been getting into lately. . .  . . .
One and Only Teitur I've been wishing on a star but I could never have imagined I would land just where you are after all this lonesome traveling Took one look in your eye, reach out to hold your hand This is when I realized what I could never understand Do you want to be my one and only love? Do you want to be my one and only love? So you wanna be my friend, so you wanna be my lover With you I do confess I can't be one without the other That was hard for me to say, I hope I said it right Which ever, come what may, you see I need to know tonight Do you want to be my one and only love? Do you want to be my one and only love? Do you want to play these cards, do you want to lay them down? DO you want to run away or do you want to stick around? Do you want to be my one and only love? Do you want to be my one and only love oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
