Best short Prince lyric for tribute to late husband hi there, I haven't posted on here in such a long time. It brings back a lot of memories. My husband proposed to me at the last 1321 concert at the O2 in London in 2008. We have had a happy life together since then, with 2 kids appearing, who are now 10 and 13. Tragically, my husband died in May this year, he was only 51. We are devastated. He was a great man, so cool, we danced together all the time and loved music.
I have a space on my wall for a small sign - like this...
https://www.etsy.com/uk/l...etal-print
and would really like to put a short Prince lyric up there as a tribute or something to my husband.
The short version can only be 10-15 letters long (with spaces) and the long one up to 25 (short one fits a bit better though)...can anyone suggest anything to me please...I would love some help and assistance - without my husband, all decisions are so hard! I don't want anything too cheesy, or that doesn't make sense hanging up in my house, if you see what I mean! Could be a song title too? .the sign is above a door and leads into my kitchen...Any thoughts would be amazing...I know you all know your stuff...
So far I have....
I wonder u Nothing compares to u (a bit too cheesy) U got the look Forever in my life Meet me in another world (a bit too long) Vous etes tres belle Life is just a party (sounds like one of those "inspirational" quotes you get) Dream of you
Thanks so much!

If I may, I would go with "Forever In My Life" | |

we all need 2 b friends" | |

This must be a very painful time, I am very sorry for your loss.
I might recommend Sometimes It Snows In April - even just to listen to during this time.
The line "Those kinds of cars don't pass you every day" is such a beautiful way to phrase it
Wishing you and your family well | |

Thank you. I love Sometimes it Snows in April - I think Parade is my favourite album. I am finding it too difficult to listen to any music really at the moment. I was never really sure what "those kind of cars don't pass you every day" actually meant. Thanks so much. | |

“Forever in my life” also jumped out to me as the perfect tribute line I am so sorry for your loss | |

Given that he proposed at a 3121 concert, maybe "Don't you want to come?" (23 characters - 3121)?
Other suggestions: "until the end of time" (21 characters - Adore) "united all 4 love" (17 characters - Anotherloverholeinyohead)
I am sorry for your loss. | |

I'm sorry for your loss. . I'd avoid "Vous êtes très belle," as "belle" is feminine -- he's referring to a woman there. . "Vous êtes très beau" would work, but "vous" is a bit formal for a spouse. . "Tu es très beau" would seem the most appropriate, but now we're not really in Prince territory anymore. | |

Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm 50, married with two kids aged 13 and 11 so this is very close to home. My wife and I were also at the O2 concerts in 2007.
The tribute is great and if I was looking to do this I would have a prince song title that reminds me so much of Prince - probably from the following list:
Alphabet St. Controversy D.M.S.R. Dance On Days Of Wild Forever In My Life Housequake Kiss Let’s Go Crazy Lovesexy Partyup Sometimes It Snows In April Superfunkycalifragisexy | |

"Those kinds of cars don't pass you every day"
Wow, is that officially correct? I always heard it as something else.
