5 of the best

Rather Unfamiliar territory for me.But ill give it a shot.I have added the lyrics as most of the songs havent had too much airtime lately.


1)Time in a Bottle- Roger Whittaker


If I could save Time in a bottle


The first thing that I’d like to do


Is to save every day


’Til Eternity passes away


Just to spend them with you


If I could make days last forever


If words could make wishes come true


I’d save every day like a treasure and then,


Again, I would spend them with you


CHORUS:


But there never seems to be enough time


To do the things you want to do


Once you find them


I’ve looked around enough to know


That you’re the one I want to go


Through time with


If I had a box just for wishes


And dreams that had never come true


The box would be empty


Except for the memory


Of how they were answered by you


2)Take This Waltz -Leonard Cohen


Now in Vienna there’s ten pretty women


There’s a shoulder where Death comes to cry


There’s a lobby with nine hundred windows


There’s a tree where the doves go to die


There’s a piece that was torn from the morning


And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay


Take this waltz, take this waltz


Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws


Oh I want you, I want you, I want you


On a chair with a dead magazine


In the cave at the tip of the lily


In some hallways where love’s never been


On a bed where the moon has been sweating


In a cry filled with footsteps and sand


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay


Take this waltz, take this waltz


Take its broken waist in your hand


This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz


With its very own breath of brandy and Death


Dragging its tail in the sea


There’s a concert hall in Vienna


Where your mouth had a thousand reviews


There’s a bar where the boys have stopped talking


They’ve been sentenced to death by the blues


Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture


With a garland of freshly cut tears?


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay


Take this waltz, take this waltz


Take this waltz it’s been dying for years


There’s an attic where children are playing


Where I’ve got to lie down with you soon


In a dream of Hungarian lanterns


In the mist of some sweet afternoon


And I’ll see what you’ve chained to your sorrow


All your sheep and your lilies of snow


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay


Take this waltz, take this waltz


With its’I’ll never forget you, you know!’


This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz .


And I’ll dance with you in Vienna


I’ll be wearing a river’s disguise


The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,


My mouth on the dew of your thighs


And I’ll bury my soul in a scrapbook,


With the photographs there, and the moss


And I’ll yield to the flood of your beauty


My cheap violin and my cross


And you’ll carry me down on your dancing


To the pools that you lift on your wrist


Oh my love, Oh my love


Take this waltz, take this waltz


It’s yours now. It’s all that there is.


3)Sugar Magnolia - The Grateful Dead


Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don’t care,


Saw my baby down by the river, knew she’d have to come up soon for air.


Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you’ll abide


We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.


She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need,


Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed


She comes skimmin’ through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,


She don’t come and I don’t follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.


Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.


She’s a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive.


Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing


I’ll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.


She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need,


A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes


indeed.


Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying, when the moon is half way down,


Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander


’round.


Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes


Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,


Ride our singin’, I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine


Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine


4)Jealous Guy- John Lennon


I was dreaming off the grass


And my heart was beating fast


I began to lose control


I began to lose control


I didn’t mean to hurt you


I’m sorry that I made you cry


Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you


I’m just a jealous guy


I was feeling insecure


You might not love me anymore


I was shivering inside


I was shivering inside


I didn’t mean to hurt you


I’m sorry that I made you cry


Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you


I’m just a jealous guy


I didn’t mean to hurt you


I’m sorry that I made you cry


Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you


I’m just a jealous guy


I was trying to catch your eyes


Thought that you was trying to hide


I was swallowing my pain


I was swallowing my pain


I didn’t mean to hurt you


I’m sorry that I made you cry


Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you


I’m just a jealous guy, watch out


I’m just a jealous guy, look out babe


I’m just a jealous guy


5)When The Stars Go Blue - Ryan Adams


Dancin’ where the stars go blue


Dancin’ where the evening fell


Dancin’ in your wooden shoes


In a wedding gown


Dancin’ out on 7th street


Dancin’ through the underground


Dancin’ little marionette


Are you happy now?


Where do you go when you’re lonely


Where do you go when you’re blue


Where do you go when you’re lonely


I’ll follow you


When the stars go blue


Laughing with your pretty mouth


Laughing with your broken eyes


Laughing with your lover’s tongue


In a lullaby


Where do you go when you’re lonely


Where do you go when you’re blue


Where do you go when you’re lonely


I’ll follow you


When the stars go blue


The stars go blue, stars go blue
