[Majordomo]

One of the best sets of lyrics I've heard in a long time comes from the broadway production Wicked.

I couldn't be happier,
No, I couldn't be happier,
Though it is, I admit,
The tiniest bit,
Unlike I anticipated.

But I couldn't be happier,
Simply couldn't be happier,
(spoken)Well, no, not simply..
Cause getting your dreams,
It's strange, but it seems
A little, well, complicated.

There's a kind of a sort of.. cost
There's a couple of things get.. lost
There are bridges you've crossed you didn't know you've crossed until you've crossed.
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still,
With this perfect finale,
The cheers and the ballyhoo,
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier.
Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true.

Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional
So turn up the corners of your lips,
part them and feel my finger tips;
trace the moment, fall forever.

[Katelyn23]

Young hearts, I believe that we are not far
From becoming who we truly are
Love is on its way.

Dreamers, you see everything in color
While the world is getting darker
Love is on it's way.

So hold on another day
Cause love is on its way.
You'll find it's gonna be okay.
Cause love is on its way.

It's alright, you'll find a brighter day
Cause love is on its way.

Love Is On It's Way - Jonas Brothers

Bohemian Rhapsody
Mama, just killed a man:
put a gun against his head,
pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
but now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, didn't mean to make your cry
if I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,
bends shivers down my spine,
body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody: I've got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.

Mama, I don't wanna die;
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

[Moka]

Quite possibly my favorite set of lyrics,
but you really need to get the song for the effect. (Best version by Simon & Garfunkel)

Scarborough Fair / Canticle
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Mil demonios - Moderatto
Tengo mil maneras diferentes (I have a thousand different ways)
de decirte lo que siento (to tell you what I feel)
y siempre elijo la peor; (and I always choose the worst one)
así soy yo, un cobarde manipulador. (that's how I am, a manipulative coward)
Y lo que pasa (And what happens)
es que me acosan toda clase de fantasmas (is that I'm haunted by all kinds of ghosts)
y la brecha de mi alma ya no puede abrirse más; (and my soul's gap can't get any more open)
por favor decide si te vas. (please decide if you're leaving).

Algo cambió dentro de mí, (Something changed inside me)
lo estoy sintiendo, (I'm feeling it)
y cada día crece más y más. (and it grows more and more every day)
Tengo que empezar a preocuparme o que no me importe más. (I have to start worrying or to stop caring already)

Van como mil veces que he tratado de decirtelo. (I've tried to say it to you about a thousand times)
Mírame a los ojos y verás que no te miento, no. (Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm not lying)
Dame dos minutos, no apures el tiempo de este amor; (Give me two minutes, don't hurry this love's time)
y el tiempo pasó, y nos dejó... (and time passed by and left us behind)
Uno, dos, tres; mil demonios he contado yo (One, two, three; a thousand demons I've counted)

Tuve mil dolores de cabeza, (I had a thousand headaches)
mil momentos de tristeza, (a thousand sad moments)
y una cuelpa equivalente a un millón; (and a guilt equivalent to a million)
a un millón de años de tu amor. (to a million years away from your love)
Tan alejado, que de mí te has olvidado, (So isolated that you've forgotten about me)
yo sé que me lo he buscado (I know I've asked for it)
y ni aunque te pida mil veces perdón (and not even if I ask you forgiveness a thousand times)
volverías a mi corazón. (would you go back to my heart)

Mi corazón se está rompiendo en mil pedazos (My heart is breaking in a thousand pieces)
y no puedo dejar de llorar. (and I can't stop crying)
Tengo que empezar a preocuparme (I have to start worrying)
o que no me importe ya. (or to stop caring now)

Van como mil veces que he tratado de decirtelo. (I've tried to say it to you about a thousand times)
Mírame a los ojos y verás que no te miento, no. (Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm not lying)
Dame dos minutos, no apures el tiempo de este amor; (Give me two minutes, don't hurry this love's time)
y el tiempo pasó, y nos dejó... (and time passed by and left us behind)
Uno, dos, tres; mil demonios he contado yo (One, two, three; a thousand demons I've counted)

The Best Day - Taylor Swift

"I'm five years old
It's getting cold out
Got my big coat on

I hear your laugh
And look up at smilin at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today"

Last Dollar (Fly Away)- Tim McGraw

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Hey!

Verse1:
I’m down to my last dollar
I've walk right through my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I’ve gone through
But look at me still smiling
As I’m wondering what I’ll do
Since I ain’t got nothing
I've got nothing to lose
Everybody say “HaHaHaHa, HaHaHaHa”
My friends are always giving me
Watches, hats, and wine
That’s how I know this is serious
That’s how I know it's time
I don’t have to worry
About things that I don’t have
Cause if I ain’t got nothing
I've got nothing to hold me back

Chorus:
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away

Verse 2:
There’s nothing that’s worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I’m gonna tour from coast to coast
I’m leaving everything behind
There’s not much that I need
Cause If I ain’t got nothing
I'm footloose and fancy free

Chorus

Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can’t keep my feet on the ground

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away, Fly away, Fly away
Fly

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

(Tim's Little Girls) 1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

(Tim's Little Girls)1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings




i know.. it's full song.. but i like it

Don't Take the Girl Tim McGraw

[i]Johnnys daddy was taking him fishin
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holdin a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we cant leave her behind
Son I know you dont want her to go but someday youll change your mind
And johnny said take jimmy johnson, take tommy thompson, take my best friend bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she dont go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please dont take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said if you do what I tell you to, there wont be any harm
And johnny said take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Heres the watch that my grandpa gave me
Heres the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please dont take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
Theres going to be a little one and she says its time to go
Doctor says the babys fine but youll have to leave
cause his mommas fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
Ill gladly take her place if youll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please dont take the girl

Johnnys daddy
Was taking him fishin
When he was eight years old

I'm already Taken - Steve Wariner

My little third grade hand wrote I love you
On a note of yellow paper
And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl
The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself
I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So you'll just have to wait

The years flew by so quickly
And there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so
So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt
Then she said there's something that you really ought to know

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So you'll just have to wait

So wait I did and never changed my love for that little blonde-haired girl
Whos' now the mother of our little blonde-haired boy
Who's to our hearts so close
I hate to think how fast he's growing up
Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed
He said, Mommy will you marry me
And this is what she said

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So you'll just have to wait

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So you'll just have to wait

Can You Feel The Love Tonight
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

(Chorus)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

(Chorus)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

[Mike]
