"Hello darkness, my old friend"- The Sound of Silence

"She's got a smile that it seems to me,
Reminds me of childhood memories" - Sweet Child of Mine

"Hey ho, let's go !" - Blitzkrieg Pop
 

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

My favourite song

 
“Kiss You All Over”———Exile

When I get home, babe, gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire

Gonna wrap my arms around you
And hold you close to me
Oh, babe I want to taste your lips
I want to fill your fantasy, yeah

(Note: It was a sad day when Jimmy Stokely died.).
 
Ol' 55 - Tom Waits

Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my Ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive

Sam Stone - John Prine

Sam Stone came home
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas
And the time that he served
Had shattered all his nerves
And left a little shrapnel in his knees

But the morhpine eased the pain
And the grass grew 'round his brain
And gave him all the confidence he lacked
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back

There's a hole in daddy's arm
Where all the money goes...
 
"Many a tear has to fall..."
-All In The Game Tommy Edward's

"It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled and stashed behind your couch"
-Gentle On My Mind Glen Campbell

"
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed"
-The Rose Bette Midler

Twilight Time
Song by The Platters

Heavenly shades of night are falling
It's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling
'Tis twilight time
When purple coloured curtains
Mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

I didn't see your post.
Great minds think alike:)
 
There are so many that I like:

  1. Sunshine on My Shoulders" by John Denver - "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy."
  2. "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell - "Rows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air."
  3. "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra - "Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars."
  4. "Sway" - by Dean Martin - "When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway."
 

What are you favorite opening lyrics to a song ?​



Long time favorite
Mainly 'cause I done it

Trailer's for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room


I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old, worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
