To start, here's my contirbution.

(Note: Title in Bold.  Lyrics in Italics)

Here Without You by 3 Doors Down

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

And here is what it sounds like, a little video with said song featuring my most treasured couple of all: (Only thing I could find.  Sorry. :)

That's What Friends Are For - Dionne Warwick

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Don't Take the Girl - Tim McGraw

In a country/western style:

Johnnys daddy was taking him fishin
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holdin a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we cant leave her behind
Son I know you dont want her to go but someday youll change your mind
And johnny said take jimmy johnson, take tommy thompson, take my best friend bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she dont go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please dont take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
 said if you do what I tell you to,
 there wont be any harm
And johnny said:
 take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Heres the watch that my grandpa gave me
Heres the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please dont take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
Theres going to be a little one and she says its time to go
Doctor says the babys fine but youll have to leave
cause his mommas fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
Ill gladly take her place if youll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please dont take the girl

Johnnys daddy
Was taking him fishin
When he was eight years old

[pokeplayer984]

Nice ones, guys.

Here's another one that touches my heart. (It always makes me at least shed tears by the end.)

Please Forgive Me by Bryan Adams

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better baby
No one can better this
Still holding on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
Wanna love you longer
You still turn the fire on

so if you're feelin' lonely don't
you're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
so if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me I need you like I do
Please believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer baby
Can't get close enough
Still holding on you're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you, yeah
I remember the nights, you know i still do

So if you're feeling lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only want to make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me I need you like I do
Yeah, believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you

The one thing I'm sure of, is the way we made love
The one thing I depend on, is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin', it's why I'm saying

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me if I need you like I do
babe, believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me if I can't stop lovin' you
Never leave me I don't know what I do
Please forgive me if I can't stop loving you

Can't stop loving you

*sniff* Always brings a tear to my eye.

If the lyrics don't make you cry, the way it sounds has a better chance.

Here's the music video of the song with the artist himself:

Go ahead, sing along with him.  Let's see if you can stop from crying. :^.^:

American Pie by Don McLean

A long, long time ago I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those
People dance
And maybe the'd be happy for a while
But february made me shiver with ev'ry paper i'd deliver
Bad news on the door step I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside the day the music died.

So bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith
In god above
If the bible tells you so now do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me
How to dance real slow
Well I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin'
In the the gym
You both kicked off your shoes then I dibbed
Those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage brocin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pick up truck
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died.

I started singing bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while lenin read a book on marx
A quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

We were singin' bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin' fast
Plant a flower on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass.
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance but we never got the chance
'cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died.

We started singin' bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

And there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on. jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack flash
Sat on a candlestick
'cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell could break that satan's spekll
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw satan laughing with delight the day the music died

He was singin' bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where i'd heard the music years before
But the men there said the music wouldn't play
But in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried
And the poets dreamed but not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The father
Son and holy ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singin' bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die,
This'll be the day that I die

They were singin' bye-bye miss american pie
Drove ma chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this 'll be the day that I die.

American Pie by Don McLean

I -- love American Pie by Don McLean -- all 8 minutes of it.

John Lennon - Merry Christmas (War Is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas War is over
For weak and for strong If you want it
For rich and the poor ones War is over
The world is so wrong Now
And so Happy Christmas War is over
For black and for white If you want it
For yellow and red ones War is over
Let's stop all the fight Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas War is over
And what have we done If you want it
Another year over War is over
And a new one just begun Now
And so Happy Christmas War is over
I hope you have fun If you want it
The near and the dear one War is over
The old and the young Now

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over if you want it
War is over now

As someone who has a thing for song lyrics, I have a couple of Ideas...

No Way Out-Phil Collins
Everywhere I turn, I hurt someone
But there's nothing I can say to change
the things I've done
Of all the things I hid from you
I cannot hide the shame
And I pray someone, something will come
to take away the pain

There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know I can't be free
But I can't see another way
I can't face another day

Tell me where, did I go wrong
Everyone I loved, they're all gone
I'd do everything differently
but I can't turn back the time
There's no shelter from the storm
inside of me

There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know I can't be free
But I can't see another way
I can't face another day

I can't believe the words I hear
It's like an answer to a prayer
When I look around I see
This place, this time, this friend of mine

I know its hard but you
found somehow
To look into your heart and
to forgive me now
You've given me the strength to see
just where my journey ends
You've given me the strength
to carry on

I see the path from this dark place
I see my future
Your forgiveness has set me free
On and I can see another way
I can face another day!

I see the path, I can see the path
I see the future
I see the path from this dark place
I see the future

I see the path, I can see the path
I see the future


Stay Young-Strata  (warning: does use the f-word once...)
Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake,
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright eyed and ready but now you just can't seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.

But can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they're part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can't change,
stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.

Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart.
Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control.
It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black,
useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
Stay young, stay young, stay young...

Oops... My bad.    Thought it Hadn't posted the first time, so I tried again. Sorry...

[DarkHououmon]

Why did you post twice?

[Manny Cav]

StarfallRaptor, I have to assume that that clone post is unintentional. :blink:

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see DarkHououmon there. : Normally, though, double-posts happen almost immediately after the first post, but there was a reasonable gap in between those two.

Some Walls, Mary Ann Kennedy /  Pamela Rose / Randy Sharp

Some walls are made of stone
Sometimes we build our own
Some walls stand for years
And some wash away with tears

Some walls
Some walls

Some walls are lined with gold
Where some hearts stay safe and cold
Some walls are made of doubt
Holding in and keeping out

If there’s any hope for love at all
Some walls must fall
Some walls
Some walls

Some walls are built on pride
Some keep the child inside
Some walls are made in fear
That love let go will disappear

If there’s any hope for love at all
Some walls must fall

How will you ever know what might be found
Until you let the walls come tumbling down

If there’s any hope for love at all
Some walls, some walls must fall

If there’s any hope for love at all
Some wall, some walls, some walls
Must fall

Can You Feel The Love Tonight? - Elton John

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away

An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for ev'ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this starcrossed boyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

[Tails_155]

I don't feel like copying my "sad songs" post especially with lyrics added XD

Any song in Rent really... well.. most of them

there's a lot more too... I'll add mine when I un-lazy (weekend most likely)

I'll start with When I Get Where I'm Going for an example

[Manny Cav]

Now my feet walk on streets made of gold;
And everything that you've heard is really so;
Walls of jasper, gates of pearl; oh the half can't be told;
Its a land, where the young don't grow old.

Chorus:
If you could see where I am, you wouldn't cry.
For I'm living in a land where no one dies;
And I'm safe in the arms, of Jesus Christ:
If you could see where I am, you wouldn't cry.

I've seen the prints of the nails in his hand;
He walks with me, side by side, in this land;
And I've seen his great love, in his precious eyes:
It's a land where there are no goodbyes.

I don't know the title or who wrote it, but just the lyrics.

[pokeplayer984]

Oh man!  This is such a good song that I HAD to put it up!

Where did I go Right? by Hillary Duff

I'm always too late, I see the train leaving
I'm always laughing, when its not cool to smile
I'm always aiming, but somehow keep missing
So how did you get here, something is wrong

Where did I go right, how did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
and you found me
Where did I go right, how did I get you
I dont know how I did, but somehow now I do

I'm always driving, forget where I'm going
Should have turned left but I was singing some song and I
I am arriving as everyone's leaving
But there you were waiting, something is wrong

Where did I go right, how did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
and you found me
Where did I go right, how did I get you
I dont know how I did, but somehow now I do

Makes no sense to me, no it isnt clear
but somehow your standing here
Something gets to me, it's that nothing is wrong

Where did I go right, how did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
and you found me
Where did I go right, how did I get you
I dont know how I did

Where did I go right, how did I get you
How come all this blue sky is around me
and you found me
Where did I go right, how did I get you
I dont know how I did, but somehow now I do
ohhhh some how now I do
Yeah yeah some how now I do...............

Whenever I hear this song it always makes me think about our world...

Runaway Love ~ by Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige

Lyrics

Runaway Love
Runaway Love
Runaway Love
Runaway Love
[REPEATS]

Now little Lisa's only 9 years old
She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she all alone and they never met her family
Mamma's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing an nobody will listen
Mamma's on drugs getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the night
Starting with some laughs usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in her room when her mamma's knocked out
Trying to have his way
And little Lisa says ouch
She trys to resist but then all he does is beat her
Try to tell her mom but her mamma don't believe her

Lisa's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some close and pack
She says she bout to runaway and never come back

Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[REPEATS]

Little Nicole is only 10 years old
She's trying to figure why the world is so cold
Why she's not pretty
And nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step dad always wanna strike her
Yells and abuses
Leaves her with some burses
Teachers ask questions
She's making up excuses
Bleeding on the inside
Crying on the out
There's only one girl who really knows what she's about
Her name is little Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they'll always be tight till the end
Till one day little Stacy gets shot
A drive by bullet went straight up on the block

Now Nicole's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some close and pack
She says she bout to runaway and never come back
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[REPEATS]

Little Arica is 11 years old
She's steady trying to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops, to get rid of all the pain
'Cause she's having sex with a boy whose 16
Emotions run deep
And she thinks she's in love
So there's no protection
He's using no glove
Never thinking bout the consequences of her actions
Living for today and not tomorrows satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bells out he aint ready for a kid
Knowing the mamma would blow it all out of proportion
'Cause she live poor so no money for abortion

Arica's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some close and pack
She says she bout to runaway and never come back

Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[REPEATS]

Runaway love
Don't keep running away
I'll runaway with you
If you want me to

[WeirdRaptor]

Listen to Your Heart, by Roxette: (one of my favorites)

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes yea
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide yea
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye


And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.

Listen to your heart mhmmmmm
I don't know where your going and I don't know why
Listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

There are other songs that I find about as touching, but my computer doesn't want to cooperate with me today to find the pyrics online, so this it until later.

Listen to Your Heart, by Roxette: (one of my favorites)

What a great song!

Fields of Gold, by Sting:

Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
Youll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
Well forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that Ive broken
But I swear in the days still left
Well walk in the fields of gold
Well walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

[pokeplayer984]

Great choice, WR!

Here's another for ya! :^.^:

Remember Me This Way by Jordan Hill

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down

Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found

I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go

And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And here's the music vid, which shows scenes from a movie I'm sure a number of you remember:

Here's "The Prayer" From Quest for Camelot...
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che to dai

I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
