My favorite romantic song... What's yours and why?

**molecularfire** · 03-11-2002, 09:38 AM

If you could read my mind love
what a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
about the ghost from a wishing well
When you reach the part, where the heartache comes
the hero will be you, heroes often fail.
Never though I'd feel this way,
but I have to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong,
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind, yeah.

If you could read my mind love
what a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
the kind the drugstore sells.
When you reach the part, where the heartache comes
the hero will be you, heroes often fail.
Never though I'd feel this way,
but I have to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong,
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back.

I think the lyrics went like this. Haven't heard it in a long time though... so I might be wrong in some parts. Kinda had a female voice (not positive it was a girl, and not just a guy with a high voice though...).

Oh... and other love songs that I like

Garbage - I'd die for you
John Waite - I ain't missing you at all
Frente (or New Order both versions were good) - Bizzare love triangle
Toni Braxton - Unbreak my heart
Sheryl Crow - My favorite mistake
Melissa Ethridge - If I wanted to

Gordon Lightfoot.

Bangles - Eternal Flame (my brief romance with a guy from England, we both sent each other song compilations that started with this song)
On My Own - Eponine/Les Miserables Soundtrack (plaintive, longing love- the kind you have at least once in your life)
Stephanie Says - Velvet Underground (makes me cry)
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond (happy, joyous love)
Everything I Own - Bread (sappy, sentimental, but so true when you've lost someone)
Just Between You and Me - April Wine (the lyrics can make anyone bawl)
Angel - Shaggy (if a girl gets this, she knows the guy is really into her)
Let's Just Get Naked - Joan Osbourne (well, d'oh!)
In Your Eyes - Billy Squier (it's different from the Peter Gabriel song, it's talking about a guy finding himself after looking into the love of his life's eyes)
Groovy Kind of Love- Phil Collins (what I want)

and when it's over:
You Suck - The Murmurs (2nd place, Untouchable, from the same album. This is a great girl band, and a great song for after the break-up)

Yep, you can tell I grew up in the 80's.....

Just Another Day In Paradise

Sung by: Phil Vassar

The kids screaming, phone ringing...
Dog barking at the mailman bringing...
That stack of bills - overdue...
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower...
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour...
My funny face makes you laugh...
Twist the top on and I put it back...
There goes the washing machine...
Baby, don't kick it...
I promise I'll fix it...
Long about a million other things...

Well, it's ok. It's so nice...
It's just another day in paradise...
Well, there's no place that...
I'd rather be...
Well, it's two hearts...
And one dream...
I wouldn't trade it for anything...
And I ask the lord every night...
For just another day in paradise...

Friday, you're late...
Guess we'll never make our dinner date...
At the restaurant you start to cry...
Baby, we'll just improvise...
Well, plan B looks like...
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light...
Then we'll tippy toe to our room...
Make a little love that's overdue...
But somebody had a bad dream...
Mama and daddy...
Can meand my teddy...
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice...
It's just another day in paradise...
Well, there's no place that...
I'd rather be...
Well, it's two hearts...
And one dream...
I wouldn't trade it for anything...
And I ask the lord every night...
For just another day in paradise...

Well, it's ok. It's so nice...
It's just another day in paradise...
Well, there's no place that...
I'd rather be...
Two hearts...
And one dream...
I wouldn't trade it for anything...
And I ask the lord every night...
For just another day in paradise...

For just another day in paradise...
Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing...
Just another day...
Well, it's Friday. You're late...
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise...

Ever since I heard this son I LOVED it. It's the first Country CD I ever bought.

Another is by Rascal Flats " It's not just me "

It’s Not Just Me
(Jay DeMarcus/Marcus Hummon)

Tell me you’ve had trouble sleeping
That you toss and turn from side to side
That it’s my face you’ve been seeing
In your dreams at night

Tell me that you wake up crying
And you’re not sure exactly why
Tell me that something is missing
In your life, in your life baby

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you’ve waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it’s not just me

I could have sworn I saw you smile at me
Standing in the pouring rain
At a loss for words and running out of time
I said this crazy ting (crazy thing), I said

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you’ve waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it’s not just me

Hold me now and tell me that you do believe
In a soul, a soul mate
And tell me, and tell me, tell me

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you’ve waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it’s not just me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dunno I just love that song too. I think if I ever get married that is one of the songs I want played at my wedding....

My personal favorites are:

I'll be (the greatest fan of your life.) by Edwim McCain Accoustic.
Where are you going? (Thats where i want to be.) by DMB
(My Love is) All i have to give. By

The Backdoor boys.
Breathe By Faith hill. (I can feel the magic floating in the air... Being with you gets me that way.)
(I love) the way You love me. By faith hill.
Bubble Toes By Jack Johnson. (It's as simple as something that nobody knows, that her eyes are as big as ber bubbly toes.)
Butterfly by CrazyTown
Eternal flame by the Bangles
In your eyes by Peter Gabriel.

hmm and cause my girls seem to come and go I like.
Save Tonight. By Eagle Eye Cherry
(I wonder if I'll ever see you) Again. by Lenny Kravitz.
Waiting on an Angel. By Ben Harper
How do I live (without you.) by Trisha Yearwood

But this is just a basic list. I think it would depend on what kind of love you got going on. I have different favorites if its like nice fluffy romantic love, versus, gritty long distance long, versus two star crossed lovers. etc... So yeah if you wanna be more specific on the relationship i can probably get you a more enjoyable listing. Good luck

Edit: DOH!! I thought this was a current thread.. Moron...
