Best love song of all time ??

Found it, finally- The best love song of all time!

Harry Nilsson's "Without you"



[youtube=425,350]P6C_Q-_RTS8[/youtube]



No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrorow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore
(Living is without you)
 

some more from me... there is too many to just pick one...

Firehouse "When I Look Into Your Eyes"

I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise 'till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die

So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

Chorus:
When I look into you eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes

I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you, we will never say goodbye

Was in high school when Firehouse, Trixter, Warrent, etc... were popular. Brings back a lott of memories. Thanks.

Would You Lay With Me
Lyrics by Johnny Cash

Would you lay with me
in a field of stone
if my needs were strong
would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry
would you wet them dear
in the midnight hour
I remember calling the radio station and requesting this song over and over. (Tanya Tucker version) They politely requested that I not call again for another month
if my lips were dry

Would you go away
to another land
walk a thousand miles
through the burning sand

Wipe the blood away
from my dying hands
if I give myself to you

WILL YOU BATHE WITH ME
IN THE STREAM OF LIFE
WHEN THE MOON IS FULL
WILL YOU BATHE WITH ME

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME
WHEN I'M DOWN AND OUT
IN MY TIME OF TRIAL
WILL YOU STAND BY ME

WOULD YOU GO AWAY
TO ANOTHER LAND
WALK A THOUSAND MILES
THROUGH THE BURNING SAND

WIPE THE BLOOD AWAY
FROM MY DYING HAND
IF I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
I remember calling the radio station and requesting this song over and over when in highschool. (Tanya Tucker version) they finally requested that I don't call back for a month.

I was partial to John Cougar. His song "This Time" was my favorite for a long time.

You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true

but I'm telling you girl that I dont know if I know what to do

You say it's allright, hold, tight, well I don't even know if I'm doing this right

well alright

hold tight

well it's time to go home and I ain't even done with the night...and my favorite line

I hope you never lose that innocent laughter

I hope time doesn't take that away...but this time I really think I'm in love,I'm in love this time I really think I'm in love....

My dates during those days were forced to listen to John Cougar, REO, Rod Stewart, Dean Martin, and one artist whom I think is the best songwriter of all time Kris Kristofferson. That man could put down in words exactly what was in his heart at the time...Steve
 

Redundant lyrics, but I think this encapsulates the emotion in discussion: Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand Lyrics


Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
 

I realize this is an old post. I sure enjoyed reading it. Lots of great songs posted. Jeffro, "Can't Live" was one of my all time favorites when I was a teenager. It still is today. Here is another one I love. My husband sang this to me one night not long after we found out he has Parkinson Disease. :'(

Travis Tritt: When I Touch You

This old world can lay so heavy on my shoulders
And this face in my mirror keeps getting older
But no matter how much pressure's on
I can lay it down when I get home
'Cause it all just fades away when I touch you.

It's the kind of love that lingers through the ages
A firm foundation built to see us through
So let the storms of life go right on raging
For there's calm insde my heart, when I touch you.

--- Instrumental ---

Years from now when my life is nearly over
And there's nothing more this world needs me to do
If my feeble hand's still strong enough to reach out
I can leave a happy man when I touch you.

It's the kind of love that lingers through the ages
On a firm foundation built to see us through
So let the storms of life go right on raging
For there's calm insde my heart, when I touch you.

Yes, it makes everything alright, when I touch you...
 

Well, umm, Jim, just don't sing this song next time you're out where there's karaoke... my gal came up on stage and slapped me silly when I sang this to her. :D
 

Thank you, Hoss. I have a cousin who plays in a band. The band has open for several famous people over the years. Willie was one of them. My cuz said he had never met a nicer person than Willy Nelson. I'll try to remember the words to this song when life ain't going so great. Your friend, Pepper

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
(Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see)

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
 

fooled around and fell in love "elvin bishop"
or
im not in love "10cc"

two of my favorites that have to do with love.
 

It is not the best of all time but it is one of my favorites..I am a sappy sentimentalist..and proud of it!

I know what I'm doing may be dumb
I know I should not be staring at the sun
But the thought of it leads me to temptation
It's the same whatever side you're on
Separated we are delicate and small
And the space, between, leads our retention
I see it right in front of me, as close as you can get
And the greater you will lead, as daydream get

And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
and it's close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I'll pick it up, with an ocean size love

I don't have to worry any more
If I really need you I'll go to the shore
And the thought I'll be there is my protection
I see it right in front of me, a vision in my head
And I know this is as real, as a daydream gets

And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
But it's close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I'll pick it up, with an ocean size love

You make no sound, but I can hear you in the wind
I can see this never ends, like the sea, like you for me

And it's close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I'll pick it up, with an ocean size love
And it might seem much too far, to get back to where you are
But it's close enough, with an ocean size love
So if you can't reach out to me, send a sign across the sea
And I'll pick it up, with an ocean size love
