Billy don't be a Hero

Wild Fire

Bridge over Troubled Water

I always liked Kris Kristofferson

For The Good Times

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this world
Keeps on turning

Let's just be glad
We had this time
To spend together
There is no need to watch the bridges
That we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blow softly against my window
Make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
For the good times

I'll get along
I'm sure you'll find another
baby please remember
I'll be here
I'm going to stay right here
If you should ever find
You need me
Yeah

Don't say a word
About tomorrow
Or forever and ever and ever and ever
There'll be time enough for severance
When you leave me
For the good times
For the good times

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blow softly against my window
Make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
For the good times

Me And Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains,
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
took us all the way to New Orleans.
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
and was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song
that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
and nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
and buddy, that was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done,
and every night she kept me from the cold.
The somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
she was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
and nothin' left was all she left to me,
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
and buddy, that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

Last Goodbye - from Jeff Buckley's Grace album


This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me,
Please, kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know, it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry,
This is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe... you didn't know him at all."

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

I have always LOVED that song Bright Eyes Keila!! It never fails to make me sniffle! I like the theme song from Easy Rider...

The River flows
it flows to the sea
wherever that river goes
that's where I want to be

flow river flow
let your waters wash down
take me from this road
to some
other town

All they wanted
was to be free
and that's the way
it turned out to be

flow river flow
let your waters wash down
take me from this road
to some other town

flow river flow
past a shady tree
flow river flow
flow to the sea

flow river flow
flow
to the sea

I'm not sure who did it..I'm not even sure if I got all the words right....anyway....sad

This is too good of a thread to let die so soon.

Well, I am just going to put a couple of names on instead of all the lyrics also. When I was a kid my sister and I used to collect all the tear jerker 45's so I could go on for a long time on this. Instead I will go way back with just a couple.
Do you remember or have you ever heard?...............

Last Kiss

The Last Resort - The Eagles (Henley/Frey)

LIVE : Lightning Crashes


Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets it
Before the doctor can even close the door

Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was lies
Belongs now to the baby down the hall

Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide

Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it

ONE TIN SOLDIER
(The Legend of Billy Jack)
words and music by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter


Listen children to a story that was written long ago
'bout a kingdom on a mountain and the valley folk below.
On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone,
and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own.


Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.


So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came an answer from the kingdom: "With our brothers we will share
all the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there."


Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.


Now the valley cried with anger mount your horses, draw your sword,
and they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward.
Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red,
turned the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said.


Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowin' come the judgment day
on the bloody morning after one tin soldier rides away.

"Leaving on a Jet Plane"

Words and music by
John Denver

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breakin',
It's early morn,
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you,
Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you,
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I won't have to say:

Kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Mr. Lonely
Bobby Vinton

(Words and Music by Bobby Vinton and Gene Allan)

Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

Now I’m a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I’ve been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed

Now I’m a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

To Sir With Love
by LuLu
[Message Edited]

'Patches' always makes me cry

So does 'To Sir, With Love'

I like 'Daniel' by Elton John too

He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother(for the life of me I can't remember who sings it)

He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother(for the life of me I can't remember who sings it)

The most famous version is by the Hollies, but versions by Neil Diamond and Olivia Newton-John also made the top 40... It's been covered by quite a few others too, including Cher and The Osmond Bros...

Thank-you Bradley, It was driving me nuts trying to remember(so long ago) The Hollies sang the best version

Lean on Me..

It's Over - by Loverboy.

Good One IPlural....

Some Time in our lives
we all feel pain
we all feel sorrow
but
if we are wise
we know that there
is always tomorrow

Lean on Me
when you're not strong
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
for
it won't be long
till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on

You just call lonely brother
when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
that you have to bear
that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
if you just call me

Al Green?
