Three more, from your resident Sappy song fan!

Think Of Me--Phantom of The Opera
Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.

When you find that, once again,
you long to take your heart
and be free-
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me....

We never said our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea
but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me...

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
Don't think about the things
which might have been..

Think of me
think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying to hard
to put you from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
There will never be a day
when I won't think of you...

Flowers fade-The fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons so do we;
But please promise me that sometimes you - will - think - of... me!!!!!!!!!

 
WEEEE!!!!!! Another POTO fan! :D :D  :D  :D  :D

Love Will Find A Way--Lion King 2
KIARA:
In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone

They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But some where in my secret heart

I know
Love will find a way
Any where we go
I'm home
If you are there beside me

Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

KOVU:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies

There's a perfect world

Shining in your eyes

KIARA and KOVU:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you

They'd know
Love will find a way
Any where we go
we're home
If we are there together

Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

I know love will find a way

I lurve this song too :)

Learn to Be Lonely

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion

Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You've always known your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to Be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived life can be loved aloneVid link

I have two. o.o One's instrumental: Soothsayer by Buckethead

The second:

Shame by Smashing Pumpkins

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna see this through
Don't let them get to you

Sh, sh, sh, sh ,sh, Shame (x a few times )

Love is good and love is kind
Love is drunk and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is drunk all the time

Sh, sh, sh, sh ,sh, Shame (x a few times)

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna walk so far
You're gonna wonder who you are

Sh, sh, sh, sh ,sh, Shame (x a few times )

Love is good and love is kind
Love is good and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is good all the time

Hello goodbye, you know you made us cry... (x until end)

Hmm...two in that area

* Keep Your Mind Wide Open-sung by AnnaSophia Robb.
This one really speaks to me
Have you ever seen the sky
So beautiful, colorful, wide and wonderful

Have you ever felt the sunshine
So brilliantly raining down over you and me

Have you ever wanted more
Wanted more

You've got to keep you mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see

Think of all the days you've wasted
Worrying, wandering, hopelessly hoping

Think of all the time ahead
Don't hesitate, contemplate
No its not too late

Have you ever wanted more
Don't you know that's so much more

You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've to live with your eyes wide open
Believe in what you see

Tommorow's horizons,
Are full of suprises,
Don't let them take
Your dreams away

You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
You've go to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
(you've got to keep your mind wide open)
Believe in what you see
(you've go to live with your eyes open)
Believe in what you see


Especally the bit before the last chorus; I keep that in mind a lot.

And Concrete Angel  :cry
She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back;
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
oh

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;
Bearing the burdon of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born;

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When morning comes it will be too late.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face;
Her name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.

Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.

Concrete Angel

Didn't they make a movie of that? Or was it Christmas Shoes I'm thinking of? :o ! There's another one   :cry2
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I'm really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

They counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.

Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I wanted to cry when I actually listened to the music! It's so sad, and yet it's so sweet at the same time!

I sort of can sing the concrete angel song, at least half of it.. Makes me think of something.. Yes that song is sure touching.. Just like the one of lion king.

Many songs of within temptation and evanescence are touching.. I won't post one now.. Maybe later..

I have another one:

God Help the Outcasts (The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack):

Esmerelda: I don't know if you can hear me.
Or if your even there.
I don't know if you would listen...to a gypsy's prayer.
Yes I know I'm just an outcast, I shouldn't speak to you.
Still I see your face and wonder...were you once an outcast too?
*Piano in play*
God help the Outcasts hungry from birth.
Show them the mercy they don't find on earth.
God help my people, they look to you still God help the outcasts, or nobody will...

People in the church: I ask wealth...
I ask for fame!
I ask for glory to shine on my name...
I ask to love...
I can't possess!
I ask for God and these angels to bless me!

Esmerelda: I ask for nothing.
I can get by...
But I know so many less lucky than I.
Please help my people
The poor and down trod
I thought we all were children of God!
God help the outcasts!
Children of....
God!

(Side note: Even though I don't consider myself a "christian" I love this song never the less :^.^:)

Wow...  So many of these songs I can relate to, and have heard... :^.^:

Of all the songs that you guys have listed, I've heard these songs, but haven't been as deeply touched by them as some other ones I'll post the names of:

Evanescence - Fields of Innocence

Evanescence - Going Under *I have rocked out to this song a LOT, but don't apply it to myself unless I'm in a critical situation* *LOL, made a YouTube LBT fanvideo with this song, but didn't know DarkHououmon made one too* *LOL, this song was in the video game "Enter the Matrix," so I also associate it with the Matrix, and computer hacking now, 'cause there a "Hacking" option for save game files; mostly an elaborate cheat device, though, except there are unlockables, and you can drop weapons in levels with it*

Linkin Park - Numb

U2 - Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me

Tim McGraw - Don't Take the Girl

Don McLean - American Pie

Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams *I've felt it sometimes, but, I don't wanna live that way; I have a lot of hope, especially in these days, despite all the craziness*

MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine *I like this song, but it just doesn't seem to ring the "touch me deeply" bell that other songs do*

Sarah McLachlan - Angel *I thnk that's how you spell her name, and actually, I'm pretty sure that some people get the title wrong, too, oh well* *LOL*

Concrete Angel *I was kinda touched by this, don't get me wrong, but, it just...  I can't think long about Judith Barsi; otherwise, it will consume like, a lot of my day*


Okay, of all those songs, there are three that you guys have listed, that deeply touch me...:

3 Doors Down - Here Without You

Diana Ross - If We Hold On Together :^.^: *cannot describe the feelings.....*

Quest for Camelot - The Prayer *Oh my god! :cry2 *sniff* I never knew this song by name... :cry But, I remember it now...* *blesses Yahweh*


Ah, and now, for a few that really touch me... :^.^:

John Elefante and Lisa Bevill - I Will Follow You (though, that should actually be "We Will Follow You," as it is a duet):  There's no lyrics sheet here, folks; I'm gonna have to type them out from memory...  I spent a YEAR even trying to find out what album this song was once released on, it is THAT rare! :o I absolutely bawled like a baby when I heard it for the first time, in over ten years...

Out on the restless ocean
Through storms of endless motion
Your winds whisper, calling me
I know it's You I hear
Make my direction clear
And lead me safely home to You

'Cause there, beneath Your wing
There is a covering
That shelters us and keeps from harm's way
So hold us and restore
As You carry us ashore
Together

Chorus:
And will will follow You
Knowing You'll lead us through
From darkness to Your everlasting light
And we will never walk alone
As long as the path is not our own
And like a shadow, behind You, we'll be
And the way will be clear as long as we
Follow You
(Ooh, follow You)

And in this darkened dwelling
Your light is so compelling
It draws me closer to Your flame
And in that warming fire
Your will is my desire
A bright reflection of You name

And there, beneath You wing
There is a covering
That shelters us and keeps us on our way, yeah
It's there we're safe and warm
Where we are sheltered from the storm
Forever
(Oh yeah)

*Chorus; end goes into a keychange; Chorus repeats again in higher key*

Oh my god, it is...  So, beautiful! :cry  :cry2 After all that time, I had forgotten it...  But, Yahweh, praise You!  I found it! :^.^:

Fortunately, by the mercy of Yah, I have found a link, to a video that someone made with this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci0xWtw765o

Oh, and, this is another song that has touched my heart, in recent times...  ...A friend is leaving for a while - they are active on this board - and I will not see them for a while, so, I thought of the song, Auld Lang Syne...  I'll just point you to a Wikipedia link; this one seems to be reliable, heh. :p
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne

If I should think of any more that touch me as deeply as this one, I'll definitely post them later! ;) Enjoy, people... :^.^:
"And the Most High said unto Moses, Ahayah-Asher-Ahayah.  And he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, Ahayah hath sent me unto you...  This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

1953-2011...  One day, mother, I shall see you again...

I find a lot of meaning in rock and metal songs, but this one really awes me.  It's by Disturbed, one of my favorite metal bands :D.

Perfect Insanity


Come inside and be afraid
of this impressive mess I've made
If you take a look now you will find
I have thrown away my prize
Done away with paradise
See what's going on inside my mind
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me

(Chorus)
Branded like an animal
I can still feel them burning in my mind
I do believe that you made your message clear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)
Tell the meaningless everything I know and I feel
Leaving me with images I know are not real
Are those words of condemnation that I hear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)


Come inside now I implore
Do you think you can restore
The crucial pieces missing from my brain
What seems to be the matter dear
Why do you cry and shake with fear
I've only had the best of me insane
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me

(Chorus )

Don't know how much I can take
Secret thoughts inside me break
Pray God I've lost what was within me
That was sweet insanity

(Repeat twice)

Now I try again to find
The thing that was my mind
Behold the other side
Cause then I've lost my mind
Try again to find
The thing that was my mind
The only other side
To tear!
I've lost my mind!(repeated multiple times)

Here are a few more

Don't Give Up/You are Loved--Josh Groban

Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’s heavy, I
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you, I
I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

Don’t give up
It’s just the hurt
That you hide
When you’re lost inside, I
I’ll be there to find you

Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

You are loved

Don’t give up
It's just the weight of the world

Don't give up
Everyone needs to be heard

You are loved

I Will Always Be With You--All Dogs Go to Heaven 2

I will always be with you
Makes no difference where your road takes you to
Even if we’re apart
Now we’re joined at the heart
Though our moment may be gone
You and I will still live on

I will always be with you
I’ll be by your side whatever you do
Other memories may fade
But the ones that we made
Are eternal as a star
Now I’m part of who you are

And I’ll be there with you in the sound of your laughter
I’ll be in the tears you cry
'Cause the way you and I have touched one another
Doesn’t end with goodbye

I will always be with you
Like a guardian angel constant and true
When you’re lost in the night
(Lost in the night)
And you can’t see the light
(Can't see the light)
My love will see you through
I will always be there
You’ll have me there
I will always be with you

Remember the Magic

Can you remember
Back to a simpler time
Back to the watercolor days
That still run through your mind

Oh, I remember just my old friend and me
Runnin' through an open field
The way it used to be

The feeling that our hearts could just take wings
We could live out all our dreams
The journey there was never far away

But like a dream come true
That's still inside of you
The secret of tomorrow is
To live your dreams today

Remember the night
Remember the feeling
Remember the magic
In our lives

You opened up my eyes
To a new world revealing
So remember the magic
Just remember the magic
One more time
Oh, remember

Do you remember
The way it used to feel
When love was only make-believe
And fairy tales were real

Oh, I remember
You were with me once again
Free to live our fantasies
It never has to end

The feeling that our hearts would just take wings
We could live a world of dreams
Together we would sail against the wind
And now I know where to begin
How to find it all again
From now until forever

Remember the time
Remember the feeling
Remember the magic
In your eyes

You opened up my eyes
And you gave life new meaning
So remember that feeling
Just remember the magic
One more time
One more time
Remember the magic

Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

Found another.  This one is SO good.

Crushed by Beu Sisters

Always thought someday you would notice me
More than friends you would see me differently
Then I heard you're so in love with her
And now where am I

I'm crushed so crushed
'cause I always thought that it would be the two of us
And I'm dying inside
Every time I see you walking hand in hand
It just makes me cry and my tears don't seem to dry
And that's why, I'm crushed

Used to be couldn't wait to talk to me
You would share your secrets you would
Share your dreams you would tell me everything
Oh if I could only hold you now
Now It's her who gets to be your girl
And kiss your lips

And I'm crushed so crushed
'cause I always thought that it would be the two of us
And I'm dying inside
Every time I see you walking hand in hand
It just makes me cry and my tears don't seem to dry
And that's why, I'm crushed

I was getting up the nerve to finally tell you all the things I feel for you
Now everything is wrong the chance is gone
She's come along and ripped my dreams in two

And I'm crushed
'cause I always thought that it would be the two of us
And I'm dying inside
Every time I see you walking hand in hand
It just makes me cry and my tears don't seem to dry
And that's why, I'm crushed

Baby I'm crushed
Baby I'm crushed
Oh baby I'm crushed
I'm crushed


And here's a nice vid to go with it (Especially for Cera/LF fans):

Maybe not a love song or anything... But it feels special to me...

Beautiful South -  Don’t Marry Her lyrics

Think of you with pipe and slippers
Think of her in bed
Laying there just watching telly
Then think of me instead

Ill never grow so old and flabby
That could never be
Dont marry her, have me

And your love light shines like cardboard
But your work shoes are glistening
Shes a phd in I told you so
Youve a knighthood in Im not listening

Shell grab your sweaty bollocks
Then slowly raise her knee
Dont marry her, have me

And the sunday sun shines down on san francisco bay
And you realise you cant make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Dont marry her, have me

Those lovely sunday mornings
With breakfast brought in bed
Those blackbirds look like knitting needles
Trying to peck your head

Those birds will peck your soul out
And throw away the key
Dont marry her, have me

And the kitchens always tidy
And the bathrooms always clean
Shes a diploma in just hiding things
Youve a first in low esteem

When your socks smell of angels
But your life smells of brie
Dont marry her, have me

And the sunday sun shines down on san francisco bay
And you realise you cant make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Dont marry her, have me

And the sunday sun shines down on san francisco bay
And you realise you cant make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Dont marry her, have me

Gavin Mikhail--God in This Moment
Stained glass windows all around me
Watching as they fall down to their knees
Saying words I am not understanding
But, I know that I should be
Kneeling, praying, asking for forgiveness
Thinking of all the things I've done wrong
Hoping their god is out there somewhere
He's listening now
And all along...

And I'm told
There's a god in this moment
Watching over me
I don't know
Their god in this moment
But I know I'll try to believe...

Ten years, ten lifetimes older now
Watching, waiting, expecting that day
Knowing that I can't hope to imagine
The ways my life will change
Now I'm holding my daughter, she's sleeping
I'm staring down at a face just like mine
Knowing that from now on
Nothing matters as much as this
In my life...

And I know
There's a god in this moment
Watching over me
And I know
My god in this moment
And, I know I'll always believe...

Until the day you took away from me
the only thing that mattered in my life
Can't you see why I am angry with you?
I'm hating you for all you put me through
And, I don't know why inside this silence is deafening
You know I gave up everything for you
I followed you always, all along
God don't let her be gone
I'm lost without you...

But now you're gone and I'm fading
And I, I hurt in all these new ways
Though I'm praying you've gone
to a better place now
I just can't say...

But I hope
There's a god in this moment
Watching over me
I don't know
If there's a god in this moment
But, I know I'll try to believe...
God I hope
You're there in this moment
Watching over me
Can you show
Me you're there in this moment
Something to make me believe...

New song from the end of "Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon"

"Guide you Home (I would Die for You)"
This is the darkest night.
Stars have all faded away.
Quiet upon this world.

Though the clouds there is a light.
We will find our way.

I would die for you.
Cross the sky for you.
I will send out a light burning for you alone.
Your all I need You set me free.
And this fire will guide you home.

There is an open door.
Somehow it feels so familiar.
We have been here before.

Through this earth forgotten fight.
There must be a way.

I would die for you.
Cross the sky for you.
I will send out a light burning for you alone.
Your all I need. You set me free and this fire will guide you home.

Where our hearts are wide open.
Where our bond is unbroken.

I will die for you.
Cross the sky for you I will send out a light burning for you alone.

[chorus]

I will die for you.
Cross the sky for you.
I will wait for you and I'll stick with you

[repeat chorus]

Your all I need You set me free. Set me free and this fire will guide you home.

Thought of this one after hearing about Lain_EX's grandmother.  This one makes me cry everytime :cry.

Steve Wariner- Holes In The Floor Of Heaven

One day shy of eight years old, my grandma passed away.
I was a broken hearted little boy, blowing out that birthday cake.
How i cried when the sky let go, with a cold and lonesome rain.
Mama smiled, said don't be sad child, Grandma's watching you today.

(chorus)
Cause theres holes in the floor of heaven
and her tears are pouring down.
That's how you know she's watching,
wishing she could be here now.
And sometimes if you're lonely,
just remember she can see.
There's holes in the floor of heaven
and she's watching over you and me.

Seasons come, and seasons go.
Nothing stays the same.
I grew up, fell in love, met a girl who took my name.
Year by year, we made a life, in this sleepy little town.
I thought we'd grow old together, Lord, i sure do miss her now.

But there's holes in the floor of heaven,
and her tears are pouring down.
That's how I know she's watching,
wishing she could be here now.
And sometimes when I'm lonely,
I remember she can see.
There's holes in the floor of heaven
and she's watching over you and me.

Well my little girl is twenty three.
I walk her down the aisle.
It's a shame her mom can't be here now, to see her lovely smile.
They throw the rice, I catch her eye, as the rain starts coming down.
She takes my hand, says Daddy don't be sad,
cause I know Mama's watching now.

And there's holes in the floor of heaven,
and her tears are pouring down.
That's how you know she's watching,
wishing she could be here now.
And sometimes when I'm lonely,
I remember she can see.
Yes, there's holes in the floor of heaven
and she's, watching over you and me.

Watching over you and me.
Watching over you and me.

I was only 19

Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march from cadets.
The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card.
We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left.

And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean.
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens.
God help me, I was only nineteen.

From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months.
But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
And an Agent Orange sunset through the scrub.

And can you tell me, doctor, why I stil can't get to sleep?
And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only ninteen.

A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself.
But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else.

Then someone yelled "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon,
God help me, he was going home in June.

I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row.

And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real.
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me, I was only nineteen.

And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only nineteen.

Here's another great song.

Once Upon A Broken Heart by Beu Sisters

Once upon a broken heart
I was walking alone in the dark
Looking for a way to start again
What I wouldn't give for a friend
There was no love in my life
There was no light in my eyes
All the tears that I had cried and cried
Seemed like they'd never end

And I never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine

Long ago and far away
I could never dream of the day
That your love would come my way and stay
And sweep me away and I

Never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine

this is the way a fairytale feels
This is the way I know it's real
'Cause this is the way a broken heart heals

And I never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine


Absolutely beautiful! :)

Somewhere Out There - Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullabye
It helps to think we're sleeping underneth the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true.

(Instrumental Break)

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullabye
It helps to think we're sleeping underneth the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through (love can see us through)
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
