"I want to love you but I'm getting blown away"

[Paladin1950]

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow

and then:

Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow

 

[Tempsontime65]

I can't find any conversation that means more to me than talkin... I Can't Find- Smokey Robinson

College men from LSU
Went in dumb, come out dumb too

From Randy Newman's Rednecks. I was at LSU when it came out, wildly popular there and then.

A lot of what appears to be politically incorrect lyrics in the song, so I won't post a youtube thing. Interpreted correctly it is not meant to be what it sounds like to some folks.

 

[Feelslikefar]

Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive - Tom Waits

 

[Paco Dennis]

"Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man" - Lola - Kinks

"Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz"

 

[Feelslikefar]

[hollydolly]

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum *
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot


Joni would have been horrified to know that all these years later her lyrics would still have HUGE impact and truth

....there's still time to change the road you're on....

Anything you can do I can do better!!

Him..

Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to." - Fleetwood Mac

By Gordon Lightfoot.
There was a time in this fair land, when the railway did not run, and the dark grey mountains stood silent against the sun, and the green dark forests were too silent, to be real.

Rest in Peace, Gord Lightfoot, gone too soon, in 2023 at age 83. Canada lost a legend this year. Tears in my eyes. JImB.

Is this the little boy at play? --Fiddler on the Roof

AND

You win a while, and then it's done
Your little winning streak --Leonard Cohen, A Thousand Kisses Deep

One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus - Kris Kristofferson

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum --Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

 

[DebraMae]

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance... I hope you dance...

 

[Sassycakes]

I couldn't leave you if I tried

You turned around and walked away with me

Everybody loves somebody sometime
