~ Fast Reply ~ Wow some great songs here. Simple Man, Wasted Time, Man with the Child in His Eyes...good stuff. I tend to get carried away when it comes to music & lyrics, so I'll only post four (only!) that are quite moving to me. But there are a ton more - I mean, I don't even have Van Morrison on this list! The last song is an awesome, uplifting song that's been in my head since I saw Harold & Maude the other day. Here goes: Beloved Wife (Natalie Merchant) You were the love for certain of my life You were simply my beloved wife I don't know for certain how I'll live my life Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife I can't believe I've lost the very best of me You were the love for certain of my life For 50 years simply my beloved wife With another love I'll never lye again It's you I can't deny It''s you I can't defy A depth so deep Into my grief Without my beloved soul I renounce my life As my right Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife My beloved wife My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone Now my suffering begins My love is gone Would it be wrong if I should Surrender all the joy in my life Go with her tonight? My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone Would it be wrong if I should Just turn my face away from the light Go with her tonight? Change (Tracy Chapman) If you knew that you would die today, Saw the face of God and love, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that love can break your heart When you're down so low you cannot fall Would you change? Would you change? How bad, how good does it need to get? How many losses? How much regret? What chain reaction would cause an effect? Makes you turn around, Makes you try to explain, Makes you forgive and forget, Makes you change? Makes you change? If you knew that you would be alone, Knowing right, being wrong, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that you would find a truth That brings up pain that can't be soothed Would you change? Would you change? How bad, how good does it need to get? How many losses? How much regret? What chain reaction would cause an effect? Makes you turn around, Makes you try to explain, Makes you forgive and forget, Makes you change? Makes you change? Are you so upright you can't be bent? If it comes to blows are you so sure you won't be crawling? If not for the good, why risk falling? Why risk falling? If everything you think you know, Makes your life unbearable, Would you change? Would you change? If you'd broken every rule and vow, And hard times come to bring you down, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that you would die today, If you saw the face of God and love, Would you change? Would you change? Would you change? Would you change? Get Me Through December (Natalie MacMaster & Alison Krauss) How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain As the changing of season prepares me again For the long bitter nights and the wild Winter day My heart has grown cold my love stored away My heart has grown cold my love stored away I've been to the mountain left my tracks in the snow Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go I've taken the pain no girl should endure But faith can move mountains of that I am sure Faith can move mountains of that I am sure Get me through December A promise I'll remember Just get me through December So I can start again No divine purpose brings freedom from sin And peace is a gift that must come from within I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Get me through December A promise I'll remember Just get me through December So I can start again If You Want to Sing Out (Cat Stevens) Well If you want to sing out Sing out. And if you want to be free Be free. 'Cause there's a million things to be. You know that there are. And if you want to live high Live high. And if you want to live low Live low. 'Cause there's a million ways to go. You know that there are. You can do what you want. The opportunity's on. And if you find a new way You can do it today. You can make it all true. And you can make it undo You see. Ah It's easy. Ah You only need to know. Well If you want to say yes Say yes. And if you want to say no Say no. Cause there's a million ways to go. You know that there are. And if you want to be me Be me. And if you want to be you Be you. Cause thee's a million things to do. You know that there are.
