Lover’s Moon by Glenn Frey
There’s a lover’s moon tonight As I look back over my shoulder All the stars are shining bright Just like the nights when I used to hold her She’s out there somewhere under the lover’s moon
Lover’s moon won’t you shine on me I’m dancing with a memory Wish I may, I wish I might Have one last chance to hold her tight
And she’s waiting, I know she’s waiting I know she waits for me Under the lover’s moon
There’s a lover’s moon tonight Shining down on half of this world So many souls are in its light But for me there is just one girl
And she’s waiting, I know she’s waiting I know she waits for me Under the lover’s moon

What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying, “How do you do?” They’re really saying “I love you”
I hear babies cry I watch them grow They’ll learn much more Than I’ll never know And I think to myself What a wonderful world

Is There Something by Christopher Cross
Lately I see clouds of sorrow in your eyes Some deep sadness you can never quite disguise Now I’m scared to ask what it’s leading to But I’m more afraid of not asking you
Is there something that you want to tell me Is there something that I ought to know Are we something that’s still worth fighting for Or should I simply let you go Is there something I can do to reach you Are we something more than history I’ll find some way to convince you to stay If you just tell me honestly Is there something left of you and me
You’ve got secrets you’ve been keeping for too long And I’m going crazy acting like there’s nothing wrong I can taste the truth every time we kiss And I can’t go on At least not like this
Is there something that you want to tell me Is there something that I ought to know Are we something that’s still worth fighting for Or should I simply let you go Is there something I can do to reach you Are we something more than history I’ll find some way to convince you to stay If you just tell me honestly Is there something left of you and me
I don’t want to lose you But what’s the use of holding on I don’t really have you If the feeling’s gone
Is there something I can do to reach you Are we something more than history If there’s no way to convince you to stay And be the way we used to be Then there’s something that I want to tell you And I want you to believe it’s true We had something that I’ll never forget Even if I wanted to ‘Cause part of me will always be with you
It’s the third and final day of the Three-Day Lyrical Challenge so let me thank Sonali once again for tagging me. For my readers who haven’t checked out her blog yet, do visit here.
I never had anything happen so fast Took one look and I shattered like glass I guess I let it show ‘Cause your smile told me you knew
That you’re everything I ever wanted at once There’s no holding this heart When it knows what it wants And I never wanted anything more than to know you
I was swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away
And so it begins This journey of love The summer wind carries us to places all our own The words of a look
The language of touch The way that you want me means so much And I never wanted anything more Than to love you
I am swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away
Away, seeing my tomorrow’s in your eyes I was swept away
Oh, I hope I wake up soon Oh, I’m a victim of that crazy moon
The very first time you said my name I knew it would never sound the same Something about me has changed forever
Can’t you see I am swept away No one in the world but you and I Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away
Away, seeing my tomorrow’s in your eyes Gotta find a way To make you feel the way that I do I was swept away
Without a warning Like night when the morning begins the day I was swept away We were swept away
Dreaming of you Swept away.
This song speaks of love and how its magic could catch you by surprise and well, yeah, get swept away! It gives me a melancholic, nostalgic, delightful and warmly romantic feeling whenever I hear it. It does make me feel good.
I’m fifteen for a moment Caught in between ten and twenty And I’m just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I’m twenty two for a moment She feels better than ever And we’re on fire Making our way back from Mars Fifteen there’s still time for you Time to buy and time to lose Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live I’m thirty three for a moment Still the man, but you see I’m of age A kid on the way A family on my mind I’m forty five for a moment The sea is high And I’m heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life Fifteen there’s still time for you Time to buy, time to lose yourself Within a morning star Fifteen I’m all right with you Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise Another blink of an eye Sixty seven is gone The sun is getting high We’re moving on I’m ninety nine for a moment Dying for just another moment And I’m just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are Fifteen there’s still time for you Twenty two I feel her too Thirty three you’re on your way Every day’s a new day Fifteen there’s still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live.
Well, this song could be interpreted in different ways but no matter how you look at it, there’s a very profound meaning. I probably wouldn’t have cared about this song when I was 15 for I still didn’t have enough context about life yet to understand it well. I understood it quite better and appreciate it a lot more as I grow older and thus became one of my all-time favorites.
Just when I thought I’d only get tagged in “quotes challenges,” I was tagged by Sonali to participate on this — The Three-Day Lyrical Challenge! Thanks a lot, Sonali. I’m delighted to do this challenge and to my readers, do check out her blog here if you haven’t yet.
So I guess, I would just have to choose three of my favorite songs and share each one a day. It’s not very easy to choose which three songs will make the cut but here’s the first one.
All I Ask by Adele
I will leave my heart at the door I won’t say a word They’ve all been said before you know So why don’t we just play pretend Like we’re not scared of what’s coming next Or scared of having nothing left
Look, don’t get me wrong I know there is no tomorrow All I ask is
If this is my last night with you Hold me like I’m more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends ‘Cause what if I never love again?
I don’t need your honesty It’s already in your eyes And I’m sure my eyes, they speak for me No one knows me like you do And since you’re the only one that matters Tell me who do I run to?
Look, don’t get me wrong I know there is no tomorrow All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I’m more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends ‘Cause what if I never love again?
Let this be our lesson in love Let this be the way we remember us I don’t wanna be cruel or vicious And I ain’t asking for forgiveness All I ask is
If this is my last night with you Hold me like I’m more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends ‘Cause what if I never love again?
It’s funny how very much I love this song but hate what it reminds me of at the same time. Anyway, this is a very beautiful but heartbreaking song. I personally think that whatever the reason for the breakup, it’s always better not to end it ugly. I mean, it probably makes the parting easier to bear because the last memories you’ll have of each other are good ones. If only you could create a wonderful memory before it all ends because what if you never love again?
