Most Touching Song Lyrics.


Recommended Posts

Thank you... for loving me... for being my eyes.... when I couldn't see..... for parting my lips... when I couldn't breathe... Thank you.. for loving me...

 

Oh Talon.. What a song you pick.. I can hear it in my mind right now... and the part that just puts me over the tops is this....

 

If I were drowning you would cross the sea...... RISK your life just to rescue me......

 

This is what I mean by a touching song.. thanks for bring it to my mind again..

i thought i'd share mine, though i think i've mentioned it somewhere before. the most touching lyrics to me aren't about love. the album this song is from came out not long after i was involved in a car accident that changed my life, my arm was completely snapped and my pelvis shattered. i now have metal plates and pins in both my arm and pelvis.. and some lovely battle scars, i was 19 at the time. i am now 21 and approaching my first hip replacment as a result of this accident, i do not know if i will ever be able to have children. this song helped me a lot as i could not understand at the time why such a thing had happened to me, i still don't really. hopefully sharing the brief version of the story will help you understand why this song means so much to me.

 

Maybe we're all different

But we're still the same

We all got the blood of Eden running to our veins

I know sometimes it's hard for you to see

You cought between just who you are and who you want to be

 

If you feel alone and lost and need a friend

Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end

 

Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life, you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be

Welcome to wherever you are

 

When everybody's in and you're left out

And you feel drowning in a shadow of the dawn

Everyone's a miracle in their own way

Just listen to yourself not what other people say

 

When it seems you're lost alone and feeling down

Remember everybody's different, just take a look around

 

Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life, you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be

Be who you want to be, be who you are

Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star

 

When you want to give up and your heart's about to break

Remember that you're perfect, God's make no mistakes

 

Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life, you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be

Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life, you made it this far

(I say welcome) Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life, you made it this far (welcome)

I like that xxbeccyxx and life has certainly dealt you a heavy blow but then everyone has a burden to carry of some sort, some you can see readily and some you cannot.

You are so young to be facing such difficulties but I hope everything goes well for you. Thanks for the lyrics I enjoyed them immensely.:) :) :) :)

Becca,

Those are very meaningful lyrics. How beautiful, and how true.

I'm sorry to hear about your accident and all you've been through so far, and still have to endure. I'm sure it's difficult. But I am a firm believer that every thing happens for a reason. You may not know what that reason is yet, but one day you will. :dry:

Beccy I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Those words (not only against your background story, but generally as well) are SO the truth,

 

thank you sweetie :kiss:

thankyou so much for your kind words. i'm not sure why it happened to me. but it has made me a kinder, stronger person. in the face of adversity all our strength shines through. and i'm sure everyone can relate to the lyrics of that song in some way.

Don't listen to this song off Bon Jovi's new album Lost Highways.. It will make you cry...

 

 

Seat Next To You

A long slow drive down an old dirt road,

You've got your hand out the window,

Listening to the radio,

That's where I want to be ...

 

On an old park bench

In the middle of December

Cold hard rain falling,

Can't find no cover

That would be alright with me ...

 

Hard Days, good times,

Blue skies, dark nights

 

Baby, I want you to take me ...

Wherever you're going to

Maybe say that you'll save me ...

A seat next to you.

 

In the corner booth of a downtown bar,

With your head on my shoulder

Smoking on a cheap cigar …

That would be alright with me

 

In the back row of

A movie or a cross-town train

I want to hear your voice

Whispering my name ...

That's who I want to be

 

Hard Days, good times,

Blue skies, dark nights

 

Baby, say that you take me ...

Wherever you're going to

Maybe say that you'll save me ...

A seat next to you.

 

Life is like a ferris wheel,

Spinning around

When you get to the top

It's hard to look down

Just hang on ...

We'll make it through

Save me …

A seat next to you

 

When you get to the gates

And the angels sing,

Go to that place

Where the church bells ring

You know I'll come running ...

Running to find you ...

 

Baby, say that you'll take me ...

Wherever you're going to

Baby I want you to save me ...

A seat next to you

Here's another of my favorites:

 

Make a Memory by Bon Jovi

 

 

Hello again, Its you and me

Kinda like how it used to be

Sippin' wine, killin' time

Tryin' to solve lifes mysteries

 

How's your life?

Its been a while

God, it's good to see you smile

I see you reaching for your keys

Looking for a reason not to leave

 

If you don't know if you should stay

If you don't say what's on your mind

Baby just breathe,

There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You want to make a memory

 

I took out this old photograph

Look at all the hair we had

It's bittersweet to hear you laugh

Your phone is ringing, I don't want to ask

 

If you go now, I'll understand

If you stay here, I've got a plan

 

 

You want to make a memory

 

You want to steal a piece of time

You can sing the melody to me

And I can write a couple lines

You want to make a memory

 

If you don't know if you should stay

And you don't say what's on your mind

Baby just breathe

Theres nowhere else tonight we should be

we should be, we should be

 

You want to make a memory

You want to steal a piece of time

You can sing the melody to me

And I can write a couple lines

 

You want to make a memory

You want to make a memory

just one ive always loved and helped me up muchly

 

 

Turn my mike up louder I got to say something

Light weights step to the side when we come in

 

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping

People on the street they panic and start running

 

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming

I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

 

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in

Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

 

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping

Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping

 

Risk something, take back what's yours

Say something that you know they might attack you for

 

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before

Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

 

Like this war's really just a different brand of war

Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

 

Like they understand you in the back of the jet

When you can't put gas in your tank

 

These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque

Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

 

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

 

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

 

In my living room watching but I am not laughing

Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen

 

World is cold the bold men take action

Have to react or get blown into fractions

 

Ten years old it's something to see

Another kid my age drugged under a jeep

 

Taken and bound and found later under a tree

I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

 

Do you see the soldiers they're out today

They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away

 

It's ironic at times like this you pray

But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

 

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads

Inside your market, your shops, your clothes

 

My dad he's got a lot of fear I know

But enough pride inside not to let that show

 

My brother had a book he would hold with pride

A little red cover with a broken spine

 

On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside

When the rich wage war it's the poor who die

 

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

 

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

 

with hands held high into the sky so blue

the ocean open ups to swallow you

This is called Eagle when she flies by Dolly Parton, and when I sing it lately, I have a bit of trouble finishing it due to the lump in my throat. Suffice it to say my mum loves the song, and Dolly Parton was one of my Dad's favourites...

 

She's been there, God knows she's been there,

She's seen and done it all,

She's a woman she know's how to give it out or take it all,

Her hearts as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies,

And she's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies.

A kaleidascope of colours you can turn her round and round,

You can keep her in your vision, but you'll never keep her down,

She's a lover, she's a mother, she's a friend, and she's a wife.

And she's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies.

 

Gentle as the sweet magnolia, strong as steel, her faith and pride.

She's an everlasting shoulder, she's the leaning post of life.

She hurts deep and when she weeps, she's just as fragile as a child.

And she's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies.

 

She's a sparrow when she's broken, but she's an eagle when she flies.

Oh, bless her lord.

She's an eagle when she flies.

They are aren't they?

i love this thread. This is another that puts a lump in my throat. For those that don't know, I believe it's a father singing to his son who has been called off to battle.

Lyrics can be all the more moving I think when you know the story behind them.

 

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen and down the mountain side

The summer's gone, and all the roses falling

It's you, It's you must go and I must bide

 

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

It's I'll be here in sunshine, or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

 

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying

If I am dead, and dead I well may be

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

 

And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me

And o'er my grave will warmer, sweeter be

Then you will bend and tell me that you love me

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

My favorite song:

 

Memory (Cats)

 

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

 

Memory, all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

 

Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters, the street lamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

 

 

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory, too

And a new day will begin

 

Burnt out ends of smokey days

The stale cold smell of morning

A street lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

 

Touch me! It's so easy to leave me!

All alone with the memory of my days in the sun

If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is

Look, the new day has begun.

Just remember, you asked for touching.

 

Amanda Marshall "Beautiful Goodbye"

 

Fed up with my destiny and this place of no return,

I think I'll take another day and slowly watch it burn,

It doesn't really matter how the time goes by

'cause I still remember you and I,

and that beautiful goodbye

 

We staggered through these empty streets, laughing arm in arm,

The night had made a mess of me, Your confessions kept me warm.

I don't really miss you, I just need to know,

Do you ever think of you and I,

and that beautiful goodbye?

 

When I see you now, I wonder how I could've watched you walk away

If I let you down, please forgive me now,

For that beautiful goodbye,

 

In these days of no regrets I keep mine to myself,

And all the things we never said I can say for someone else,

Nothing lasts forever but we always try,

And I just can't help but wonder why we let it pass us by

 

When I see you now, I wonder how I could've watched you walk away

If I let you down, please forgive me now,

For that beautiful goodbye

 

Baby what can I do?

Ough-ta get through to you

and sometimes I cry

It's a fool's lullaby

Oh, I, I'm dying inside
