ok... time to let us know what song REALLY hits home
that you would NEVER EVER
let anyone know you listened to....

except us

:evilgrin:

you know the one...... :)

I still believe

Sometimes it's easy & sometimes it's not
Sometimes I can't think of one thing we've got
In common to keep us from falling apart
To keep holdin' on with hope in our hearts
Sometimes it's heaven & sometimes it's hell
Sometimes it seems we would be just as well
Off on our own knowin' somebody else
Then I think about all we've been through

CHORUS:
There have been so many nights that you saved me
There have been so many mornings you gave me
The courage to get up & get out of bed
To face the world one more day
There have been so many trials we've conquered together
& so many miles of rough roads we've weathered
& I swear forever that I'll never leave
'Cause lady, I still believe

You bring out my best, you can bring out my worst
You feed every hunger, then leave me burning with thirst
& at the moment that I know that I'll surely die
Your love is my fountain of life

(chorus)

Oh lady, I still believe

Lee Greenwood!!

Our Lips Are Sealed- Go Go's

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed

Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them

Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence

When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when you'll be feared

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies

2. Uhhhh...
Ahem. Carpenters. Just about anything by them. Maybe it's nostalgia--my dear departed dad just LOVED them.

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

6. I agree wholeheartedly
And when I was a teenager, ostracized to the second alto section of the choir (also know as "the back of the bus") with two other lower-range females, sentenced to sing "ooh...aah...ooh...aah..." for the rest of my days, Karen C. was a personal hero and source of inspiration.

7.  Coat Of Many Colors
I was the kid that wore hand-me-down bell-bottoms to school...

Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldnt wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
Chorus:

My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

And oh I couldnt understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didnt understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

8. Creep
I'm doing fine now, but this would have been my favorite song in high school.

When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youre so fuckin special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

Shes running out again,
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special...

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.
I dont belong here.

9. Everyone that knows me knows I'm a freak when it comes to music
I may be listening to the Dixie Chicks, Berlioz, AC/DC, John Prine, Prodigy, or Allison Krauss or anything in between.

It all depends on the mood.

10. There really are so many.
So many nights, I'd sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, but now you've come along.

And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the waters
Could it be finally, I'm turning for home
Finally a chance to say, "hey, I love you"
Never again to be all alone.

And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.

You, you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong, when it feels so right
'cause you, you light up my life

12. I am such a sucker for soul and this song kills me
Candi Staton - Too Hurt To Cry

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG0S99zr7Fs>


I see your clothes are packed baby
and she's waiting for you on the outside
for as long as we've been together baby,
how can you tell me this is goodbye?
'Cause I'm not breaking down
Ohhh it's not because of my pride
The reason you don't see no tears baby
I guess I'm just too hurt to cry
Baby! I'm too hurt to cry
I'm too hurt to cry
Ain't no tears in my eyes
I'm just too hurt to cry

I've neglected myself
devoted my life to you
listen..to ensure your happiness
there was nothing I wouldn't do
but I guess you found what you wanted
I feel so bad I could just die
the reason you don't see no tears baby
I guess i'm just too hurt to cry
Baby! I'm too hurt to cry
I'm too hurt to cry
Ain't no tears in my eyes
I'm just too hurt to cry
I cant stand for you to leave me
I can't stand for you to say goodbye
I'm just gon' walk away
I'm gonna turn my back...
