YOU'RE STILL THE ONE (Shania Twain)

When I first saw you, I saw love.

And the first time you touched me,

I felt love.

And after all this time, you're still the one I love.

Looks like we made it

Look how far we've come my baby

We mighta took the long way

We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on

We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're still the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better

I'm glad we didn't listen

Look at what we would be missin

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on

We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're still the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're still the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we made it

Look how far we've come my baby

Amazed by Lonestar

Every time our eyes meet

This feeling inside me

Is almost more than I can take

Baby when you touch me

I can feel how much you love me

And it just blows me away

I've never been this close to anyone or anything

I can hear your thoughts

I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do

I'm so in love with you

It just keeps getting better

I want to spend the rest of my life

With you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Baby, I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin

The taste of your kiss

The way you whisper in the dark

Your hair all around me

Baby you surround me

You touch every place in my heart

Oh, it feels like the first time, every time

I want to spend the whole night in your eyes

Every little thing that you do

I'm so in love with you

It just keeps getting better

I want to spend the rest of my life

With you by my side

Forever and ever

Every little thing that you do

Baby, I'm amazed by you



I go to mush when I hear this song. :-4

Harold Arlen Lyrics - Let's Fall In Love Lyrics

We might have been meant for each other

To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why

It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi

But I adore you, so strong for you

Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy

Let's fall in love

Why shouldn't we fall in love

Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance

Why be afraid of it

Let's close our eyes

And make our own paradise

Little we know of it, still we can try

To make a go of it

We might have been meant for each other

To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love

Why shouldn't we fall in love

Now is the time for it, while we are young

Let's fall in love

I like the version sung by Tony Bennett, way bacK when....

You Needed Me



I cried a tear

You wiped it dry

I was confused

You cleared my mind

I sold my soul

You bought it back for me

And held me up and gave me dignity

Somehow you needed me.

Chorus

You gave me strength

To stand alone again

To face the world

Out on my own again

You put me high upon a pedestal

So high that I could almost see eternity

You needed me

You needed me

And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true

I needed you and you were there

And I'll never leave, why should I leave

I'd be a fool

'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand

When it was cold

When I was lost

You took me home

You gave me hope

When I was at the end

And turned my lies

Back into truth again

You even called me friend

Repeat Chorus

You needed me

You needed me

[Amie]

Ted'z Waltz - Beth Orton

If we should meet again

on some darkened street

pack in it all

and heed to the call

beat a drum to decide on

a sketch or design

can you see to the light

of bare winter night

And wipe out the sun from your eyes

that vicious sky

wipe out the sun from your eyes

cos some sleep to lie.

See the way you are

feel the way you move

So sweet, so deep,

the sum of it all

So deep so sweet

I see you again.

Once you feel something real

let me know, let it show

I could be your honey

and let it go, there you go.

And if you should need me

through someone else's eyes

and if into me you see more than disguise.

I come down to your knees

and if ears could speak

I like to think what they'd say to inspire

Your sweetest desire

and since I first met you

I found the love I lost

It's just like you

looks just like you

You move,

so sweet so deep

the sum of it all

so deep so sweet

I see you again

If we should meet again

in some darkened room

I hope to my soul

it could be soon

beat a path to my side

a sketch for design

can you see through the light

to bear winter night

and wipe out the sun from your eyes

that vicious sky

wipe out the sun from your eyes

some sleep to lie

See the way you are

feel the way you move

so deep, so cool

you burn through it all

it's the shape of your hand

a tone I understand

and since I first met you

I found the love I lost

looks just like you

looks just like you

you move.

See you again, see you again...

The Who - Love reign o'er me.

Only love

Can make it rain

The way the beach is kissed by the sea

Only love

Can make it rain

Like the sweat of lovers

Laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me

Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me

Only love

Can bring the rain

That makes you yearn to the sky

Only love

Can bring the rain

That falls like tears from on high

Love Reign O'er me

On the dry and dusty road

The nights we spend apart alone

I need to get back home to cool cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think

The night is hot and black as ink

Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

Just the sound of the guitar on this song makes me go all.....funny.

Cool thread. Here is one of my faves--not a traditional love song that matches up with others posted. But as close as Morrissey gets to one..and a GREAT song

Morrissey: Late Night, Maudlin Street

The last night on maudlin street

Goodbye house, goodbye stairs

I was born here

And I was raised here, and

...i took some stick here



Love at first sight

It may sound trite

But it�s true, you know

I could list the detail

Of everything you ever wore or said

Or how you stood the day

As we spent the last night

On maudlin street

"goodbye house, forever!"

I never stole a happy hour

Around here



Where the world�s ugliest boy

Became what you see

Here I am - the ugliest man

Oh, the last night on maudlin street

Truly I do love you

Oh, truly I do love you

When I sleep

With that picture of you framed beside my bed

Oh, it�s childish and it�s silly

But I think it�s you in my room, by the bed

(...yes, I told you it was silly...)



And I know

I took strange pills

But I never meant to hurt you

Oh, truly I love you

Came home late one night

Everyone had gone to bed

But, you know

No-one stays up for you

I had sixteen stitches

All around my head



Oh, the last bus I missed to maudlin street

So he drove me home in the van

Complaining, "women only like me for my mind..."

Don�t leave your torch behind

A powercut ahead; 1972, you know



And so we crept through the park

No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline

For you

But you ... without clothes

Oh, I could not keep a straight face

Me - without clothes ?

Well, a nation turns it�s back and gags...

I�m packed



I am moving house

A half-life disappears today

With "every hand waves me on"

(secretly wishing me gone)

Well, I will be soon

Ooh, I will be soon

I will be soon

I will be soon

Will be soon, I will be soon

Mmm ... I will be soon, I will be soon



There were bad times on maudlin street

They took you away in a police car

Inspector - don�t you know ?

Don�t you care ?

Don�t you know - about love ?



Your gran died

And your mother died

On maudlin street

In pain, and ashamed

With never time to say

Those special things ... oh

I took the key from maudlin street

Well, it�s only bricks and mortar !

Oh, oh, truly I love you

Oh, wherever you are

Wherever you are

Wherever you are

I hope you�re singing now

Oh, I do hope

I hope you�re singing now

Oh ...

[King Terry]

Sorry can' be bothered to read back, but this is a huge fave of mine :-4

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants

A three car garage, her own credit cards

He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night

If he could only read her mind, she’d say:

Buy me a rose, call me from work

Open a door for me, what would it hurt

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes

These are the little things I need the most in my life

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone

And she can’t help but wonder what she’s doing wrong

Cause lately she’d try anything to turn his head

Would it make a difference if she said:

Buy me a rose, call me from work

Open a door for me, what would it hurt

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes

These are the little things I need the most in my life

And the more that he lives the less that he tries

To show her the love that he hold inside

And the more that she gives the more that he sees

This is a story of you and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work

Opened the door to a heart that I hurt

And I hope you notice this look in my eyes

Cause I’m gonna make things right

I’m gonna hold you tonight

Do all those little things

For the rest of your life.
