Have any lyrics that have touched you lately or overall? Wanna share beautiful words to their tunes? Please post them here. =)
I'll start with two beautiful songs. ^-^
~~
MOTHER - Eight Melodies
Take a melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words
And sweet harmony
Raise your voices
All day long now
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love, oh love
Love is the power
Love is the glory
Love is the beauty
And the joy of spring
Love is the magic
Love is the story
Love is the melody
We all can sing
~~
MOTHER - Pollyanna (I Believe In You)
I believe the morning sun
Always gonna shine again and
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end
I believe in roses kissed with dew
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
I believe in make-believe
Fairy tales and lucky charms and
I believe in promises
Spoken as you cross your heart
I believe in skies forever blue
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
You can call me Pollyanna
Say I'm crazy as a loon
I believe in silver linings
And that's why I believe in you
I believe there'll come a day
Maybe it will be tomorrow
When the bluebird flies away
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
I believe in friends and laughter
And the wonders love can do
I believe in songs and magic
And that's why I believe in you
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' this way about you
There's not much I can do
I'm gonna be this way my life through
'Cause I still believe in miracles
I swear I've seen a few
And the time will surely come
When you can see my point of view
I believe in second chances
And that's why I believe in you

I loved the lyrics from the theme songs of the Sonic Adventure games. They fit each character perfectly and are fun to sing along to! I'll never forget 'em.
Also, the theme song from Kingdom Hearts. Man, everytime I saw the commercial on tv for that game and that music came on, I was in a trance.

The classic British Army song from the peninsula wars, it gained more recent fame for being the theme tune to Sharpe. Almost makes you want to enlist. Well.. not quite, but it's still cool.

Hark, now the drums beat up again,
For all true soldier gentlemen,
Then let us 'list and march, I say,
Over the hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey
And go over the hills and far away.
All gentlemen that have a mind,
To serve the King who's good and kind
Come 'list and enter into pay,
Then o'er the hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey
And go over the hills and far away
No more from sound of drums retreat,
While Marlborough and Galway beat,
The French and Spaniards every day,
When o'er the hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
Here's forty shillings on the drum,
For those that volunteers do come,
With shirts, and clothes, and present pay,
Then o'er the hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
Our 'prentice Tom may now refuse
To wipe his angry Master's Shoes,
For now he's free to sing and play
Over the Hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
We all shall lead more happy lives
By getting rid of brats and wives
That scold and bawl both night and day -
Over the Hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main
Courage, boys, 'tis one to ten,
But we return all gentlemen
All gentlemen as well as they,
Over the hills and far away.
Cho: Over the hills, and o'er the main

Although it's not English lyrics, I find the song "Lion" from Macross Frontier to be quite touching. Sheryl Nome is a great vocalist.
Crush 40's Live Life is also a good one.

The thread is more about actually posting these lyrics rather than telling which you enjoyed. ^^"
A Pizza Hut, A Pizza Hut
Kentuky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut.
But Seriously.
Erm, touching lyrics. I always feel Emo when I talk about touching lyrics :ohmy:
Linkin Park's Valentine's Day :3 it reminds me of a funeral I attended, dewy eyes.
I'm generally more of a melody guy rather than a lyric guy, listening to mostly game soundtracks, but one song I really like the lyrics on is Daft Punk's Something About Us.

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life
If I would ever fall for a girl and confess (don't think that'll happen anytime soon, though), then I'd probably quote this song or something like that...
Ok, so it's mostly cause of the touching scene when this plays in the movie, but whatever. :P I like it.

I'm more of a melody and rhythm guy, too. Anyways, I'd choose the chorus from Dream of an Absolution.
Cause every night I will save your life,
And every night I will be with you,
Cause every night I still lay awake,
And I dream of an absolution.
Cause every night I will make it right,
And every night I will come to you,
But every night it just stays the same,
In my dream of an absolution.
Enough to make it my senior quote in 2 years.
PS: I like food! I like food! Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut! XD
PS: I like food! I like food! Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut! XD
XD all together now!
It must be a real kick in the crotch to all artists. Those that pour their heart and soul into their music, work for months finely crafting an album, only to be beatten by the fast food song XD

Patricia Kaas - Et s'il fallait le faire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xVO6XDAyH8&fmt=18
Sil fallait le faire, jarrêterais la terre
Jéteindrais la lumière, que tu restes endormi
Sil fallait pour te plaire lever des vents contraires
Dans un désert sans vie, je trouverais la mer
Et sil fallait le faire, jarrêterais la pluie
Elle fera demi-tour le reste de nos vies
Sil fallait pour te plaire técouter chaque nuit
Quand tu parles damour, jen parlerais aussi
Que tu regardes encore dans le fond de mes yeux
Que tu y vois encore le plus grand des grands feux
Et que ta main se colle sur ma peau, où elle veut
Un jour si tu tenvoles, je suivrais, si je peux
Et sil fallait le faire, je repousserais lhiver
A grands coups de printemps et de longs matins clairs
Sil fallait pour te plaire, jarrêterais le temps
Que tous tes mots dhier restent à moi maintenant
Que je regarde encore dans le bleu de tes yeux
Que tes deux mains encore se perdent dans mes cheveux
Je ferai tout plus grand et si cest trop ou peu
Jaurais tort tout le temps, si cest ça que tu veux
Je veux bien tout donner, si seulment tu y crois
Mon cœur veut bien saigner, si seulment tu le vois
Jusquà nêtre plus rien que lombre de tes nuits
Jusquà nêtre plus rien quune ombre qui te suit
Et sil fallait le faireEnglish Translation (excuse if the translation is a bit rumbling, my French is incredibly rusty and I had to use a dictionary cause I suck, lol)
If it had to be done, I would stop the earth
I would turn off the light so that you stay asleep
If it had to be done to please you, raising opposite winds
In a desert without life, I would find the sea
And if it had to be done, I would stop the rain
It will turn around the rest of our lives
If it had to be done to please you, listening to you every night
When you speak of love, I would speak of it too
So you still look into the depth of my eyes
So you still see in there the biggest of the big fires
And so your hand clings to my skin where it wants to
If you fly away one day, I would follow if I could
And if it had to be done, I would repel the winter
With hard blows of springtime and long clear mornings
If it had to be done to please you, I would stop the time
So all your words of yesterday stay with me now
So I still look into the blue of your eyes
So your two hands still get lost in my hair
I will make everything bigger and if its too much or too little
I would be wrong all the time, if thats what you want
I do want to give everything, if only you believe in it
My heart does want to bleed, if only you see it
Until being nothing more but the shadow of your nights
Until being nothing more but a shadow that follows you
And if it had to be done

That and digital love are absolutely amazing. Love them both.
Here's digital love, if you haven't heard it:
