    way too many to choose from.... just a few that spring to mind...

    "Big In Japan" - Alphaaville

    Winter's cityside, crystal bits of snowflakes
    All around my head and in the wind
    I had no illusions that I'd ever find
    A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
    You did what you did to me
    Now it's history I see
    Here's my comeback on the road again
    Things will happen while they can
    I will wait here for my man tonight
    It's easy when you're big in Japan

    When you're big in Japan, tonight
    Big in Japan, be tight
    Big in Japan, where the Eastern sea's so blue
    Big in Japan, alright
    Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
    Things are easy when you're big in Japan
    When you're big in Japan...

    Neon on my naked skin
    Passing silhouettes
    Of strange illuminated mannequins
    Shall I stay here at the zoo
    Or shall I go and change my point of view
    For other ugly scenes
    You did what you did to me
    Now it's history I see
    Things will happen while they can
    I will wait here for my man tonight
    It's easy when you're big in Japan

    Bill Withers - Ain't no sunshine


    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away.
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And she's always gone too long
    Anytime she goes away.

    Wonder this time where she's gone
    Wonder if she's gone to stay
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    And this house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away.

    Planxty - Only Our Rivers

    How sweet is life but we're crying,
    How mellow the wine, but it's dry,
    How fragrant the rose but it's dying,
    How gentle the wind but it's ice
    What good is in youth when it's aging?
    What joy is in eyes that can see?
    When there's sorrow and sunshine and flowers,
    And only our rivers run free?

    The first time ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
    To the dark and the endless skies

    [/quote

    This is definitely one of my favorite romantic songs.

    The other two are:

    Play Me by Neil Diamond

    You are the sun
    I am the moon
    You are the words
    I am the tune
    Play Me


    Annie's Song by John Denver

    You fill up my senses
    Like a night in a forest
    Like the mountains in springtime
    Like a walk in the rain
    Like a storm in the desert
    Like a sleepy blue ocean
    You fill up my senses
    Come fill me again

    I love the whole song--it is absolutely beautiful.

    Not beautiful.. but powerful.

    "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
    I know you'll be the sun...
    in somebody else's sky...
    but whyyy... whyyy can't it be mineeeeeee"

    Pearl Jam.

    This is exactly what I was just going to post (but with the right lyrics! :p) :heart:

    Imagine - John Lennon


    ????You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you will join us
    And the world will be as one????

    this one's pretty thought provoking:

    "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" - bob dylan

    You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
    But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
    Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
    Crying like a fire in the sun
    Look out the saints are comin' through
    And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

    The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
    Take what you have gathered from coincidence
    The empty handed painter from your streets
    Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
    This sky, too, is folding under you
    And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

    All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
    Your empty handed armies, are all going home
    Your lover who just walked out the door
    Has taken all his blankets from the floor
    The carpet, too, is moving under you
    And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

    Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
    Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
    The vagabond who's rapping at your door
    Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
    Strike another match, go start a new
    And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

    And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
    As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
    And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
    As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
    Away from me

    Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
    It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
    But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
    And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself

    'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
    Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
    And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
    But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

    So who's going to watch you die?

    --Death Cab for Cutie, "What Sarah Said"

    .I'm on your side
    Oh when times get rough
    And friends just can't be found

    Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down

    The Bruce Springsteen verse most likely to make me cry:

    Last night I heard your voice
    You were crying, crying, you were so alone
    You said your love had never died
    You were waiting for me at home
    Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
    I ran till I thought my chest would explode
    There in the clearing, beyond the highway
    In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
    I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
    My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
    The room was dark, our bed was empty
    Then I heard that long whistle whine
    And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

    - from Downbound Train

    THIS SONG IS THE BOMB FROM THE EARLY 80'S

    "IF I COULD FLY,
    I'D PICK YOU UP, AND TAKE YOU INTO THE NIGHT,
    AND SHOW YOU LOVE, LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN,
    EVER SEEN"

    INTO THE NIGHT, BENNY MARDONES.

    This is really embarrassing but that's one of my favorite songs ever.

    You clearly have never really loved a woman. :flowerforyou:

    Erm, I also couldn't see my unborn children in her eyes because I could never reproduce with her. Ya know, one of those problems with being a woman myself.

    For a shoe-gazing indie kid a couple of lines from Indie Disco by Divine Comedy.

    "And now we're moving to the beat
    And staring at each others feet"

    "She makes my heart beat the same way
    As at the start of Blue Monday"

    I went to a concert of theirs years ago and they did a cover of "careless whisper" as the closer. Kinda, funny and cool how many people knew all the lyrics :laugh:

    Fireflight - "Wrapped In Your Arms" Good song if one is feeling lost, alone, or beaten down.

    "I'm here to stay. Nothing can separate us.. . . And I know I'm OK. You cradle me gently, wrapped in Your arms.

    I'm home"

    I walk a lonely road
    The only one that I have ever known
    Don't know where it goes
    But it's home to me and I walk alone

    Learn to forgive and forget
    What if we choose to love
    We choose to love
    We choose to love
    What if we choose to love
    We choose to love
    We choose to love

    A little time, a little faith
    A little mercy for mistakes
    Maybe love is all it takes to heal these scars
    When we lay our weapons down
    All the walls fall to the ground
    We were worlds apart, and now here we are

    Wow....those are interesting responses. You are right...I have never really loved a woman. BUT as a women who loves being loved by a man, the line really works for me. Its one of my favorite songs. Loved the movie its from, too. "Don Juan DeMarco". Johnny Depp was great.

    Oh. No Wait. It's Tenth Avenue North. . .

    To wit

    "One tear in the driving rain
    One voice in a sea of pain
    Could the maker of the stars
    Hear the sound of my breaking heart . . .

    One life, that's all I am
    Right now I can barely stand
    If You're everything You say You are
    Would You come close and hold my heart"
