@Soren: It indeed can be difficult to get over someone.


"And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I'm holding on to Your promises

You are faithful"

- Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin

[Rainshadow]

  This isn't technically a verse (it's the bridge and the chorus, I believe, but it's really, really long ), but I really love the message in it.

I was so scared of Jesus,
but He sought me out
like the cancer in my lungs
that's killing me now.
And I've given up hope
on the days I have left,
but I cling to the hope
of my life in the next.
Then Jesus showed up,
said, "Before we go up,
I thought that we might reminisce.
See, one night in your life,
when you turned out the light,
you asked for and prayed for my forgiveness."

You cried wolf;
the tears, they soaked your fur.
The blood dripped from your fangs.
You said, "What have I done?"
You loved that Lamb
with every sinful bone,
and there you wept alone.
Your heart was so contrite.

You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes.
Sanctify this withered heart of mine.
Stay with me until my life is through,
and on that day please take me home with you."

I can smell the death on the sheets
covering me;
I can't believe this is the end.
I can hear You whisper to me,
"It's time to leave.
You'll never be lonely again."

But this was my deathbed,
I died there alone.
When I closed my eyes tonight
You carried me home.

@Sky Yup.
Here's another I like:
"I'm more than you know
I'm more than you see here
More than you let me be
I'm more than you know
A body in a soul
You don't see me but you will
I am not invisible"
Invisible, U2

"I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea
You've built a love, but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

[...]

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

[...]

And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to mention
But you can't find the words
The scent of magic
The beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind"

"Listen to your heart" by Roxette. The first song that I actually recorded from the radio in the 90s.

[Søren]

"With his back against the San Francisco traffic
On the bridges side that faces towards the jail
Setting out to join a demographic
He hoists his first leg up over the rail

And a phone call is made, police cars show up quickly
The sergeant slams his passenger door
He says, "Hey son why don't you talk through this with me?
Just tell me what you're doing it for"

"Oh, it's a little bit of everything
It's the mountains, it's the fog
It's the news at six o'clock
It's the death of my first dog"

"It's the angels up above me
It's the song that they don't sing
It's a little bit of everything"
A Little Bit of Everything, Dawes

Fantastic, if maybe a little sad, of a song.

[Skyblade]

"Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

...

If there is a load
You have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me"

- Lean on Me by Bill Withers

[The Mask]

I love that song! It makes me cry sometimes though.

[Luftwaffles]

"I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry"

Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden.

[Edraithel]

I love this song so much and want it played at my wedding someday.
And love me for eternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need for mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me

But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry (oh, would you?)
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me

I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold

I only want you near me

John Powell - For The Dancing And The Dreaming Lyrics - How to Train Your Dragon 2

@The Mask: Quite amazing when a song stirs you up so emotionally, isn't it?


From Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia, feat. John Martin:

"There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.

Upon a hill across a blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!"

I like this song so much!!

Une chanson italienne – A. Morisod

Une chanson sous un ciel de vacances
C'est ainsi que notre histoire commence
Une guitare dans la nuit
Le grand amour a suivi
C'était la première fois
Rappelle-toi

Une chanson italienne
Une romance d'amour
Un refrain qui nous rappelle
Le souvenir des beaux jours
Dieu que la vie était belle
Sous le soleil d'Italie
Mille mandolines
Mélodie divine
C'est la chanson de notre amour

Mais les chansons ça ne dure qu'un été
Un jour la nôtre nous a quittés
On la croyait disparue
Ce soir elle est revenue
Nous faire danser toi et moi
Comme autrefois

[Søren]

"There's a song that I love
That you once played for me
It had all the right chords
And a sweet melody
It was back when we started
When there was mystery
Now they've all been erased
On my music machine

And it's all because of you
I've got a list of songs I can't listen to
And it's all because we're through
I've got a list of songs I can't listen to"

The Stand by Hillsong United

You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

MMMBop by Hanson

So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows

The Long Way Home by Gaelic Storm

Well I'm doing okay; I've got friends and family
People to love and people who love me

Sometimes I take the long way home I walk down to the sea
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be

The Gambler by Fun.

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die

We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts
It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye
And then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight

You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away
Like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
But it's not time; you never quit in all your life
So just take my hand;, you know that I will never leave your side
You're the love of my life; you know that I will never leave your side

United States of Eurasia by Muse

You and me fall in line
To be punished for unproven crimes
And we know that there's no one we can trust
Our ancient heroes
They are turning to dust

And these wars they can't be won
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on and on and on
But soon we will see
There can be only one

Scream by Zac Efron:

"The day a door is closed,
The echoes fill your soul.
They won't say which way to go,
Just trust your heart.

To find what you're here for,
Open another door.
But I'm not sure anymore.
It's just so hard.

The voices in my head,
Tell me they know best!
Got me on the edge,
they're pushin', pushin',
they're pushin'

I know they've got a plan,
But the ball's in my hands!
This time it's man-to-man,
I'm droppin', fightin', inside a

World that's upside down, it's spinning faster.

[...]

I'm kickin' down the walls.
I gotta make 'em fall!
Just break through them all!
I'm pushin', crashin', I'm gonna
Fight to find myself,
Me and no one else!
Which way I can't tell, searchin',
Searchin', can't find a
Way that I should turn,
I should turn right or left it's,
Like nothing works without you!".

[Søren]

"You understand they've got a plan for us
I bet you didn't know that I was dangerous
It must be fate, I found a place for us
I bet you didn't know someone could love you this much"
