What songs remind you of your partner?

Melo · February 19, 2006

I asked Paul what song reminds him of me... well his reply was not quite what I expected... he said that the song Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham is the one... says I am bull-headed and jump right into things and take charge... here are the lyrics:

Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs

WOOLY BULLY (Domingo Samudio)

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.

Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.

Wooly bully, wooly bully.

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.

Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."

Wooly bully, wooly bully

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.

Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."

Wooly bully, wooly bully.

Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Noone Is To Blame by Howard Jones

shakysgirl · February 19, 2006

My husband sent me this song by the Proclaimers when he was in the UK and I was in the US trying to plan our wedding and going through the UK visa process- it still always makes me happy and think of him when I hear it:

Let's Get Married

We've been, going together

Too long to be vague

When there's something to say

If it's not now, then it's never

So I'll say it straight out

'Cos I have no doubt, no doubt

Let's get married

I love you and I want to stay with you

Let's get married

Have kids and grow old and grey with you

Let's get married

Hold hands, walk in the park

You can get a cat as long as it barks

We know, other people

Who drifted apart

Who broke each others hearts

But we ain't other people

So we'll do things our way

We're gonna be O.K.

We're gonna be more than O.K.

Let's get married

We're ready for tying the knot

Let's get married

Set the seal on the feelings we've got

Let's get married

We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue

Yeah, it's just a piece of paper but it says "I Love You"

For the good times

For the days when we can do no wrong

For the moments when we think we can't go on

For the family

For the lives of the children that we've planned

Let's get married

C'mon darlin', please take my hand

And I'll be the one

Who's by your side

I'll be the one

Still taking pride

When we're old if they ask me

"How do you define succes?"

I'll say,

You meet a woman

You fall in love

You ask her and

She says "Yes"

Let's get married

I love and I want to stay with you

Let's get married

Have kids and grow old and grey with you

Let's get married

Hold hands when we walk in the park

All right you can get a cat just as lang as it barks

For the good times

For the days when we can do no wrong

For the bad times

For the moments when we think we can't go on

For the family

For the lives of the children that we've planned

Let's get married

C'mon darlin', please take my hand

When we first met, he played this silly song for me and I still always think of him. It's BBC by Ming Tea

Diana Krall - Narrow Daylight. It's a beautiful song, which Chris played to me on the ship. When he signed off and we were apart, I played it every night before I went to sleep, and when I got to Maine I found out that he'd been doing the same thing! It's also the only song I've ever got my husband to dance with me to!

~~~~

Narrow daylight entered my room

Shining hours were brief

Winter is over

Summer is near

Are we stronger than we believe?

I walked through halls of reputation

Among the infamous too

As the camera clings to the common thread

Beyond all vanity

Into a gaze to shoot you through

Is the kindness we count upon

Hidden in everyone?

I stepped out in a sunlit grove

Although deep down I wished it would rain

Washing away all the sadness and tears

That will never fall so heavily again

Yes the kindness we count upon

Is hidden in everyone...

I stood there in the salt spray air

Felt wind sweeping over my face

I ran up through the rocks to the old

Wooden cross

It's a place where I can find some peace

Narrow daylight entered my room

Shining hours were brief

Winter is over

Summer is near

Are we stronger than we believe?

Interesting tread here

Being as i very much love music

Hope you all dont mind i add my latest favorite

billy currington,s ,, Must be doin somethin right

a woman is a mystery

A man just cant understand

sometimes all it takes to please her

is a touch of your hand

n' other times you got to taKe it slow

and hold her all night long

Heaven knows there's so many ways

A man can go wrong

Must be doin somethin right

I just heard you sigh

N'lean into my kiss

and close those deep blue nee to eyes

Don;t know what i did

to earn a love like this

But baby I must be doin somethin right

Anywhere you wanna go

baby show me the way

Im open to suggestions

Mmm whatever you say

Tonight's about givin you what you want

Whatever it takes Girl I hope Im on the right road

judging by the looks on you face

Must be doin somethin right

I just heard you sigh

N'lean into my kiss

And close those deep blue need to eyes

Don't know what i did

to earn a love like this

But baby must be doin' somthin' right

The song that reminds me most of my husband is "A Thousand Kisses Deep" by Leonard Cohen.. its not really a hugely romantic song but its one of the first ones he ever sent me...

The ponies run, the girls are young,

The odds are there to beat.

You win a while, and then it’s done –

Your little winning streak.

And summoned now to deal

With your invincible defeat,

You live your life as if it’s real,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

I’m back on Boogie Street.

You lose your grip, and then you slip

Into the Masterpiece.

And maybe I had miles to drive,

And promises to keep:

You ditch it all to stay alive,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,

The wretched and the meek,

We gather up our hearts and go,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against

The limits of the sea:

I saw there were no oceans left

For scavengers like me.

I made it to the forward deck.

I blessed our remnant fleet –

And then consented to be wrecked,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

I’m back on Boogie Street.

I guess they won’t exchange the gifts

That you were meant to keep.

And quiet is the thought of you,

The file on you complete,

Except what we forgot to do,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,

The wretched and the meek,

We gather up our hearts and go,

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,

The odds are there to beat . . .

There's a lot of other ones.. "In my secret place" by leonard cohen, (ok just about any Leonard Cohen song.. Mikey is a huge fan... you should try him he's really good.. ), "You Belong to Me" by bob dylan..

One night he just sent me a whole bunch of really sweet songs, none of which i had ever heard before but they were all very loving. Most of them are all still favourite songs!

Chad Kroeger & Santana - Why Don't You & I

Since the moment I spotted you

Like walkin round with little wings on my shoes

My stomach's filled with the butterflies...ooo and it's alright

Bouncin round from cloud to cloud

I got the feelin like I'm never gona come down

If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lie ooooo

And every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

turns out that everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get togehter and take on the world

and be together forever

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon

and straight on to heaven

Cause without you they're never going to let me in

When's this feaver gona break?

I think I've handled more than any man can take

I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin you around.... ooo And it's alright

Bouncin round from cloud to cloud

I got the feeling like I'm never gona come down

If said I didn't like it then you know I'd lie oooo

And every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

turns out that everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get togehter and take on the world

and be together forever

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I'd say why don't you and I get together and fly to the moon

and straight on to heaven

Cause without you they're never going to let me in

slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end

Right about the same you walk by

And I say 'Oh here we go again oh'

Every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

turns out that everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right :blush: :blush: :whistle:

TeresaChristina · February 19, 2006

For me, it's Fairgound Attraction's "Find My Love."

--------

Somewhere out there there must be a boy for this girl

could be anywhere

could be next door

or the other side of the world.

--------

Or, anything by The Beatles. I always think of my Liverpudlian baby and smile.

Chad Kroeger & Santana - Why Don't You & I

This song isn't Chad Kroeger...that's the lead singer to Nickelback.

This song is actually with Alex Band (I think is his name) The lead singer for THe Calling.

Just thought you might like to know

Cannot BELIEVE I forgot this song -it's OUR SONG

Oceans - The Tea Party

Where are you going

Can I follow

Because distance is hard to swallow

You should stay a while

Let's have a drink

Let's have a laugh

You feel power

And no worries

If that's so

Then what's your hurry

If you've got to go

There's just one thing I've got to ask

If I promise an ocean

Would you care for the notion of

Staying here and resting your weary head

It's all that she said

Well the sky's changed

That's for certain

You smile says

What you working

Time heals all

This we know

We'll work it out

And if I promise an ocean

Would you care for the notion of

Staying here and resting your weary head

And would you come back and see me, or

Angel am I dreaming because

Heaven knows that I'll miss you so

And that's a fact

Look now where I'm at

I miss you so

Look now where I'm at

I can't let go

There's more questions

Than there's answers

I'm not taking any chances

Because I need to let you know

Just how I feel

And if I promise an ocean

Would you care for the notion of

Staying here and resting your weary head

And would you come back and see me, or

Angel am I dreaming because

Heaven knows that I'll miss you so

And that's a fact

Look now where I'm at

I miss you so

Look now where I'm at

I miss you so

Look now where I'm at

I miss you so

I can't let go

I miss you so

There are actually a couple of songs that remind me of Jamal... and always put a smile on my face... and I can hear him singing them in my ear when they play... ahhhhh, memories... I miss you baby!

Anyways, I will find the lyrics to a few... and post here... this is a good thread! Thanks for starting it!

Blessings,

When God Made You

by NewSong

(Guys)

Its always been a mystery to me,

How two hearts can come together,

And love can last forever.

But now that I have found you I believe,

That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.

So gone are all my questions about why,

And i've never been so sure of anything in my life

~chorus~

Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.

I wonder if He knew everything I would need,

Because he made all my dreams come true.

When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.

(Girls)

Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go, wherever life may lead you,

With all my heart I'll be there too.

And from this moment on I want you to know,

I'll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.

(guy):So gone are all my questions about why (girl echoes):about why

Duet:Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,

I wonder if He knew everythin I would need,

Because He made all my dreams come true.

When God made you He must've been thinking about me.

Bridge

He made the sun He made the moon,

To harmonize a perfect tune,

One can't do without the other they just have to be together.

And that is how I know its true,

Your for me and i'm for you and my world

Just cant be right without you in my life

Chorus

(guy) He must have heard every prayer I've been praying (girl echo)

I've been praying (both)He must've knew everything I would need

When God made you, He must've been thinking about me.

Traviesa · February 21, 2006

For now, it's Come Home Soon by sheDaisy

I put away the groceries

And I take my daily bread

I dream of your arms around me

As I tuck the kids in bed

I don't know what you're doin'

And I don't know where you are

But I look up at that great big sky

And I hope you're wishin' on that same

bright star

I wonder, I pray

[Chorus:]

And I sleep alone

I cry alone

And it's so hard livin' here on my own

So please, come home soon

(Come home soon)

I know that we're together

Even though we're far apart

And I'll wear our lucky penny 'round my neck

Pressed to my heart

I wonder, I pray

[Repeat Chorus]

[bridge:]

I still imagine your touch

It's beautiful missing something that much

But sometimes love needs a fighting chance

So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance

I wonder, I pray

[second Chorus:]

I sleep alone

I cry alone

Without you this house is not a home

So please, come home soon

[Third Chorus:]

I walk alone

I try alone

I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone

So please, come home soon

Come home soon

Another song which really conveys the way I feel being with him is called Passenger Seat (also by sheDaisy)

Passenger side, I slide on in

Vinyl seats soft from the heat of the sun

Chewin' on a Slim Jim, can't stop thinkin' 'bout him

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the one

Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the one

Ooh, ooh, ooh, life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life's so sweet

When I look to my left see his suntanned hands

His muddy river hair and his thousand acre plans

I'm all shook up like a quarter in a can

Ain't life sweet in the passenger seat, yeah

I daydream of me an' a cold cotton pillow

And the feel of his skin

The window sill smiles and before I know it

I'm miles away a-sittin' next to him

Miles away a-sittin' next to him

Ooh, ooh, ooh, life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life's so sweet

When I look to my left see his suntanned hands

His muddy river hair and his thousand acre plans

I'm all shook up like a quarter in a can

Ain't life sweet, yeah

Shiftin' those gears, baby, 1, 2, 3

Then he shifts those ocean eyes back to me

Can't imagine a moment any better than this

Then we kiss

Ooh, ooh, ooh, life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life's so sweet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat

Ooh, ooh, oh yeah, life's so sweet, it's...

Life's so sweet, it's...

So sweet in the passenger seat

Life's so, life's so, life's so sweet

Right here

All of "our songs" are in Spanish so I won't post them. One is called "Te Amo" by Franco de Vita and the other is "Amarte es un Placer" by Luis Miguel, which will be our first dance at the wedding.

Dixie_Peach · February 21, 2006

This song was written by a friend of mine I went to school with many, many years ago . He has a website stating that if any body wants to use this song for their wedding to go for it.
http://www.weddingsong.tv/

Have a listen to the song or just read the words. It's so beautiful and of course it's a plus that a friend of mine wrote it. This will be Bruce and my Wedding Song (hopefully May) ...........ssssssiiiiiggggghhhhhh...{{{HUGS}}}

OUR DAY - A Wedding Song

My lonely days are over My nights alone are through

The long road I have traveled Has brought me here to you

Once I used to question What my life's about

You came to my rescue And washed away my doubt

I've lived my life a drifter A solitary soul

Never feeling quite complete Until you made me whole

Some will search forever And still may never find

The joy that honest love can bring Love like yours and mine

You and I will live our lives Hand in hand Side by side

The world is filled with wonder And beauty from above

Of all the gifts the good Lord gives The greatest one is love

I've searched so long to find a heart Like yours, so warm and true

You ask me if I love you Today I'll say "I Do"

I just HAD to listen to this link... and I love the words!!! Thank you for sharing! And thank you all for sharing... you have posted songs that I have heard... and that made me think of Jamal... and songs that I have never heard, that just reading the words made me think of him also. I love music, and it helps to soothe the spirit when I am feeling extremely lonely without my habibi!

A couple of our other songs we have are these:

Where You Are

Rascal Flatts

There you are standing strong

I'm a leaf holding on

You believe like a child

In this fire running wild

Oh I love how you see right to the heart of me

Chorus:

You're a waterfall washing over me

I'm a thirsty man let me drink you in

I am on my way

You're a mountain top

When I reach for you

Your love lifts me up

And all that I want is to be

Where you are

I'm the frozen ground

You're the warm sunlight

Shining down on me

Baby, just in time

I have never been in love like this

Oh, you move my soul every time we kiss

And I love how you heal

I can't believe how alive I feel

Chorus:

You're a waterfall washing over me

I'm a thirsty man let me drink you in

I am on my way

You're a mountain top

When I reach for you

Your love lifts me up

And all that I want is to be

Where you are

Bless The Broken Road

Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Chorus:

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there you understand

It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Chorus:

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover's arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

I Melt

Rascal Flatts

When you light those candles

Up there on that mantle, setting the mood

Well, I just lie there staring

Silently preparing to love on you

Well, I can feel the heat from across the room

Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do

[Chorus]

I melt every time you look at me that way

It never fails, anytime, any place

This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt

I melt

Don't know how you do it

I love the way I lose it, every time

What's even better

Is knowing that forever you're all mine

The closer you get, the more my body aches

One little stare from you is all it takes

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Every time you look at me that way

I melt, I melt

Yesssss, we love Rascal Flatts! haha

Sorry for making the post so long!

Blessings to you all!

*hugs*

"City of Blinding Lights"

U2

The more you see the less you know

The less you find out as you grow

I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart, day-glow eyes

A city lit by fireflies

they're advertising in the skies

for people like us

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...

Don't look before you laugh

Look ugly in a photograph

Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid

I've seen you in the clothes you've made

Can you see the beauty inside of me?

What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...tonight

In the city of blinding lights

Time...time....time...won't leave me as I am

But time won't take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights,

The more you know

The less you feel

Some pray for, others steal

Blessings not just for the ones who kneel, luckily

***

"Better Be Home Soon"

Crowded House

Somewhere deep inside

Something's got a hold on you

And it's pushing me aside

See it stretch on forever

and I know I'm right

For the first time in my life

That's why I tell you

You'd better be home soon

Stripping back the coats

Of lies and deception

Back to nothingness

Like a week in the desert

and I know I'm right

For the first time in my life

That's why I tell you

You'd better be home soon

So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong

Cos when you get back home maybe I'll be gone

It would cause me pain

If we were to end it

But I could start again

You can depend on it

I know I'm right

For the first time in my life

That's why I tell you

You'd better be home soon

That's why I tell you

You'd better be home soon

***

"There Is No Ending"

Arab Strap

not everything must end

not every romance must descend

not every lover's pact decays

not every sad mistake replays

If you can love my growing gut,

my rotten teeth and greying hair

Then I can guarantee I'll do

the same as long as you can bear

If you love my little poofy hands

My skinny arms and reeking feet

The way I dance, the way I eat

If you love the morning spots I try

and squeeze before you're up to see

Each torn ankle, each weak knee

But still my moods must swing

to solitude I must still cling

and you won't love me every day

and suffer many a display

But plates may smash and doors may slam

my comments may be less than kind

but that won't mean I've changed my mind

I'm a huffy ####### the best of times

I love to sulf and shout and squeal

but please don't doubt the way I feel

'cause when the sun burns up the earth

our progeny will raise a can:

"Here's to where it all began"

And every day I hear the world

Is cracking up, the end is near

I hear we all should live in fear

Bullies, burglers, paedophiles

Bird flu and passive smoke

(They're coming!)

Volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves

Heart disease and strokes

(They're coming!)

Terrorists with homemade bombs

And factions everywhere

(They're coming!)

They're drinking in the street

And they could steal your home

And I don't care

***

"I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do"

ABBA

Love me or leave me,

make your choice but believe me

I love you
