music snobs-help me find some cool song lyrics!
Permalink Closed


Hey girls--I am making a photo album for my husband for one of his Christmas presents.  It is one of those small ones with cheesy paper covers, but I am going to change the cover out and put a simple (but decorated tastefully) cardstock page in it with a quote in the back. 


So, I am looking for a portion of a song lyric about family or children or memories or something (that's non-cheasy, obviously) to write on the back.  I want to find a quote from a band that we both like such as Damian Rice, U2, Dylan, Paul McArtney or the White Stripes, but I am open to any suggestions (but not Coldplay b/c he hates them).  I know this is an off the wall question, but do any of you music fans have any suggestions?  What are sme of your favorite lyrics that might apply


To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I considered this quote from a Johnny cash song, but I don't think it fits b/c I have mainly our baby girl and boy in the photos and not a lot of the two of us:


"One man, one wife, one love of life."  Anyway, any ideas??

Here is a Paul McCartney lyric I found:


Really love you:


I love the things
You say and do
I can't get over
How much I love you


U2:


Love comes tumbling:


All roads lead to where you are

Paul McCartney- "We Got Married"

"I Love The Things That Happen
When We Start To Discover
Who We Are
And What We're Living For,
Just Because Love Was
All We Ever Wanted
It Was All We Ever Had."

another McCartney- "Through our Love"
Here We Go Through Our Love
We Can See Things That They Said Were Invisible
Through Our Love
We Can See Where We Are Going To
We're Going Through Our Love
Through Our Love We Can Learn To Do Things That They Said Were
Impossible
Through Our Love
We Can Be Blessed With A Better View

this is all i could find for now...but i'll keep looking...i love stuff like this!

Ooh I like all of those suggestions.  Keep them coming though--I'm looking too and have found a couple but nothing that just totally speaks to me just yet . . .

bob dylan-"precious memories"
As I travel down life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder hopes grow fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

still looking....

From U2 ("Mysterious Ways"):

One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held
How by this love while you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling

I like those two as well.  jessjoy--I found that Dylan quote also.  I like it but it doesn't rhyme as nicely as I'd like.  I might still use it though.  Any other suggestions girls? 


Here are some that I've found:


Bob Dylan:


"Beyond the horizon, behind the sun


At the end of the rainbow life has only begun"


Also Dylan (I think but might be J Cash I forgot to write it down):


"We're the best partners this world's ever seen


together as close as can be


but sometimes it's hard to find time in between to tell you what you mean to me"


Or, this one from Dylan:


"You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live


when I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give."


Hmm.

Edwin McCain:


I've found all I've Waited for,
And I could not ask for more


Chantal Kreviazuk



If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much


Evanescence


And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me


 


I'll try and think of more.

I like this Stevie Wonder lyric, but it's not about family:

I believe when I fall in love with you
It will be forever


From the Beatles (I Will):

Love you forever, and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

Sister Sledge:


Living life is fun
And we've just begun to get our share
Of this world's delights
Hight hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight


Oooh, you can't go wrong with Frank Sinatra:



Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come


OR:


 


It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but forever and a day


The Righteous Brothers


Really mine in the rain
In the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web of your arms.


This one is from: "Grow Old with me" I don't know who sings it.


Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end

I have no lyrics to share but these are all so sweet! Okay, I found some.


This is from Beth Orton, Daybreaker (I think it's nice but I suppose it could be sort of depressing - depends on your pov):


We lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds move by far too fast
You said it was a night where anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine

We, we burn our boats each new year
Silently watching the flames and the old life disappear
We're burning new sunrise into yesterday's skies
An ashen fingerprint melts into the sea
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine


I'll post more if I think of them...


For the Love of You, Joss Stone (couldn't narrow down the song, so here's a big chunk)


Paradise I held within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key
Oh, this I see, this I see, ooh
Now I'm there and I lose my way
Using words to try to say what I feel
I feel that love is free
I know that love is free

I might as well sign my name on a card which can say it a whole lot better
Ooh, only time will tell
Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
I wanna be, ooh, I wanna be living
I wanna be living, living for the love of you
I wanna be giving, giving, ooh
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Oh, it's for the love of you

I just wanna be giving all my love to you
Each and every day
That's when I'll be giving all my love to you

That's all I wanna do
I'm giving all my love to you
You know that I'm living for you

These are great, thanks guys!  He really likes Beth Orton and Sinatra.  Jessjoy, I can't think of any other bands that he is opposed to, other than cp.

I love these lyrics...

Baby Girl - Will Hoge

May the sunlight find your face
Even when the rain does fall
And get back on your feet again
Every time you slip and fall
Keep your heart wide open
And always taking in
And even when it's broken
Be strong enough to fix it up again

Oh little baby girl
Sweet little baby girl
I wish I could hold your hand in this great big world
Oh little baby girl

And I hope your hands are steady
And never need to make a fist
And I hope that when you're ready
You get one never ending kiss
And I hope that deep inside of you
There's a sweet eternal song
And I hope the words are pretty
And that you'll always sing along

And I hope your friends are many
And your laughter's always loud
To help you when you're lonely
And pick you up when you're down
I hope your eyes shine bright love
And learn to see the light
Take the time to listen
Decide yourself what's wrong or right

Oh little baby girl
Sweet little baby girl
Be strong in this great big world
Oh little baby girl



If There's Love - Citizen Cope

Where you been hidin'?
I'm believing
You give me life
Life my dear
You give me strength to beat the odds
And overcome my fears
You make me feel like I belong under the sun
You never grow old
Because you're forever young

[chorus:]
If there's love...
I just want to have somethin' to do with it
I just wanna feel yours
[repeat chorus]

When I'm alone you make me feel at home
If I give enough of you
To a higher place we'll go
You make me feel like I belong under the sun
You'll never grow old
Because you're forever young
And you know that you got my tomorrow baby
Today and yesterday
Believe that you've got my tomorrow baby
I'll hold you close as far as I can see


Also...

Johnny Cash/June Carter

"I gave you my onlyness, give me your tomorrow"
