Bette Midler - The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the sould afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

Shadow Of A Man Bedouin Soundclash

Don’t look at me with sad eyes, tonight
And can you show me, one more smile

And let the room shine through the light, oh no
Under the bed is clean by daylight

But I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

Walking down these bad streets
Looking at this, where we believe
To know that I can’t, ever leave, no
Until my footprint, wash to the sea

But I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

And so far as I know
And so far as it goes
I will be yours in too long, no
I will be yours in too long, no
I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

Where’s my soul gone to?
Where’s my soul gone to?
Where’s my soul gone to?

I’m a shadow of a man, hey!

Another one that I wouldn't normally remember to mention on a thread like this but I definitely love it.

Oh, oh, oh, I remember when we were kids
We shared all the hurt and tears
No matter what the weather [What the weather, what the weather]
We were always together
Then we grew up and time went on
We became separated

When I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited

Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away

Sad day
Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away

I came home from Spring vacation
Expected to find my Toby waiting
Called her on her private phone
She didn’t answer, something was wrong

I ran all the way to her house
Rang her bell
Her mother answered and told me
To come and sit a spell

I sat down to try to be prepared
For what she’d say
And what she said brought tears to my eyes
I couldn’t push away

Toby left on a cloudy
Rainy day
She went to sing with angels
Toby’s gone away

It was a sad day
Oh...ho...Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away

It was a sad day
Oh...oh...when Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away

Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away


....."Toby" by The Chi-Lites

oh damn how could i forget about 'Sadie' by the spinners

In a world like today
Its a rare occasion to be able
To see young mothers like the ones
That were around when I grew up
But they live on in memory
To quite a few of us
And this song is dedicated
To those who cherish that memory

Early one Sunday morning
Breakfast was on the table
There was no time to eat
She said to me, Boy, hurry to Sunday school

Filled with her load of glory
We learned the Holy story
Shell always have her dreams
Despite the things this troubled world can bring

Oh, Sadie
Dont you know we love you
Sweet Sadie
Place no one above you

Sweet Sadie (Well, well, well)
Living in the past
Some times it seems so funny
But no money will turn your life around

Sweeter than cotton candy
Stronger than papas old brandy
Always that needed smile
Once in awhile she would break down and cry

Some times shed be so happy
Just being with us and daddy
Standing the worst of times
Breaking the binds with just a simple song

Oh, Sadie (Oh, Sadie, baby)
Dont you know we love you (Shell love us all in a special way)
Sweet Sadie (Well, well, well)
Place no one above you

Sweet Sadie (Sweet Sadie livin in the past)
Living in the past
Oh, shes never sinnin
In love shes always winnin, yeah

Sadie (My, my, my, my, my)
Dont you know we love you (I love you, mama)
Sweet Sadie
Place no one above you (I just cant forget)

Sweet Sadie (How you gave me love, oh, Lord)
Living in the past
If theres a heaven up above
I know shes teaching angels how to love

Sadie (Its a mean world without you)
Dont you know we love you
Sweet Sadie (All the love you showed)
Place no one above you (
