”I hold your hand in mine, ... dear.
I press it to my lips.
.
.
.
.
.
I take a healthy bite from
your dainty fingertips
.
.
.
.
.
My joy would be complete, ... dear
if you were only here
.
.
.
.
.
But still i keep your hand as
a precious souvenir
.
.
.
.
.
The night you died, .. I cut it off
I really don’t know why
.
.
.
.
.
For, .. now, .. each time I kiss it
I get blood stains on my tie
.
.
.
.
.
I’m sorry now, (that) I killed you.
For our love was something fine
.
.
.
.
.
Until they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine.”

-- Tom Lehrer

The man he wept
as he did feel
his dead wifes' comb
beneath his heel

[Captain Kundalini]

Kinda twisted. :haha:

Here is one of my favorites.
This is a song called "Creepin'" (http://www.captkundalini.com/Music/Creepin.mp3) from the CD "Fullfillingness' First Finale" by Stevie Wonder.
The backing vocal was done by the late Minnie Riperton, a lady with a 5 octive vocal range.
Minnie left us on July 12, 1979 at the age of 31 due to breast cancer.

God Give Me Strength
lyrics by Elvis Costello, music by Costello with Burt Bacharach


Now I have nothing
So God give me strength
'Cos I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

I can't hold on to her
God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well
Wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell
As she becomes my enemy

Maybe I was washed out
Like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I'm only human
I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength

A Wedding in Cherokee County - Randy Newman

There she is sitting there
Out behind the smoke house in her rocking chair
She don't do nothin'
She don't say nothin'
She don't feel nothin'
She don't know nothin'
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

Her papa was a midget
Her mama was a whore
Her grandad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty four
(what a slimy old bastard, he was...)
Man don't you think I know she hates me
Man don't you think I know that she's no good
If she knew how she'd be unfaithful to me
I think she'd kill me if she could
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

I'm not afraid of the greywolf
Who stalks through our forest at dawn
As long as I have her beside me
I have the strength to carry on

Today we will be married
And all the freaks that she knows will be there
And all the people from the village will be there
To congratulate us
I will carry her across the threshold
I will make dim the light
I will attempt to spend my love within her
But though I try with all my might
She will laugh at my mighty sword
She will laugh at my mighty sword
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
Lord, hep me if you will
Maybe we're both crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

Anything Barry White, or Motown.

I'm especially attracted to White's music as I always thought that the Phat Stax orchestra sound was the most sensual.

Evergreen

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the april snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we’ve learned to sail above
Time won’t change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Streisand

Somewhere My Love

Somewhere, my love,
There will be songs to sing
Although the snow
Covers the hope of spring.

Somewhere a hill
Blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams
All that your heart can hold.

Someday we'll meet again, my love.
Someday whenever the spring breaks through.

You'll come to me
Out of the long ago,
Warm as the wind,
Soft as the kiss of snow.

Till then, my sweet,
Think of me now and then.
God, speed my love
'Til you are mine again.




Francis Paul Webster

Thought this Valentine's day 2013, it might be a good time to bump this thread up...what are you favorite love songs?

I'll kick off this year with one of mine: Love Shine - YES

Shine
I won't sleep again until I sleep with you
I won't dream again until I dream again with you
My love

One look in your eyes and I see
The light shining through
I truly believe in the magic of all that you do

Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming

One look in your eyes and I know
It's right for me and you

Feel the love shine
Feel the love shine
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love shine
