This portion of the site houses the lyrics to my current and all-time  favourite songs. I plan to update every time radio kills my love for the newer selections.

COME WHAT MAY  from Moulin Rouge
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I Love You more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you, until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song,
I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you, I love you,
Until the end of time

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may

 
 
THIS WAY ~Jewel
Love be still
Love be sweet
Don't you dare
Change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time

CHORUS
Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

I get afraid
Don't think ahead
Let's just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere that you are

CHORUS

Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
Promise me
We'll always be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
You'll always be

CHORUS


BEST I EVER HAD (Grey Sky Morning) ~Vertical Horizon
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

I'M MOVING ON    ~Rascal Flatts
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They will never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantee, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

 

EPIPHANY ~Staind
Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause i can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart
And dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing isn't feel

Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said


 

DAYDREAM BELIEVER ~Mary Beth (from Dawson's Creek)
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the blue bird as she sings
The six-o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Me shaving razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen
 
 
CHANCES ARE ~Robert Downey Jr. and Vonda Shepherd (Ally McBeal)
Chances are you'll find me somewhere on your road tonight.
It seems I always end up driving by.
Ever since I've known you it seems you're on my way.
All the rules of logic don't apply.
 
I long to see you in the night,
Be with you 'til morning light.
 
I remember clearly how you looked the night we met.
I recall your laughter and your smile.
I remember how you made me feel so at ease.
I remember all your grace and your style.
 
And now you're all I long to see.
You've come to mean so much to me.
 
Chances are I'll see you somewhere in my dreams tonight.
You'll be smiling like the night we met.
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer all I have.
You're the only one I can't forget.
Baby, you're the best I've ever met.
 

NOT PRETTY ENOUGH    ~Kasey Chambers
Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken

Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me


I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break
I crave, I love, I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can
I laugh, I feel, I make believe it's
real
I fall, I freeze, I pray down on my knees
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can


3 A.M. ~Matchbox 20
she say its cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
shes always worried about things like that
she says its all gonna end
and it might as well be my fault
but she only sleeps when its raining
and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)
she says baby
its 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I cant help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rains gonna wash away I believe it

shes got a little bit of something,
God its better than nothing
and in her color portrait world
she believes that shes got it all
she swears the moon dont hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when its raining
and she screams and her voice is straining

(chorus)

she believes that life is made up of all
that youre used to
and the clock on the wall
has been stuck at three for days, and days
she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
but outside its stopped raining
