Songs that would totally make me fall in love
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
Wish enough, wise man'll tell you a lie
Window broke, torn up screens
Who'd have thought that you'd dream
Of a single tragic scene
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just want to take it off of you
Cause Blue Eyes
You are all that I need
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the sweet to my mean
Fess it up, dot on the palm of your hand
I can help you to stand
Saved it up for this dance
Tell me all the things you can
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna be the one that's true
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
All the lights on and you are alive
But you can't point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don't know
You don't know the greatness you are
Cause Blue Eyes
You are destiny's scene
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna be the one
I just wanna sing a song with you
I just wanna get it on with you
Cause Blue Eyes
You’re the secret I keep
Cause Blue Eyes
I just wanna sing a song with you…
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
And when I woke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
Oh I love you
I don't get many things
right the first time
in fact, I am told that a lot
now I know all the wrong turns -
the stumbles and falls brought me here
and where was I before the day
that I first saw your lovely face
now I see it everyday
and I know
that I am, I am
I am the luckiest
what if I'd been born
fifty years before you
in a house
on the street where you lived
maybe I'd be outside
as you passed on your bike,
would I know?
and in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
and I know
that I am, I am
I am the luckiest
I love you more than I have
ever found a way to say to you
next door there's an old man
who lived into his nineties
and one day passed away in his sleep
and his wife, she stayed
for a couple of days and passed away
I'm sorry I know that's a
strange way to tell you
that I know we belong
that I know
that I am, I am
I am the luckiest
The days are getting shorter
The wind has found her teeth
I think I’m supposed to be somewhere back east
And I drive alone with my mind
Fighting thoughts of this kind
And in the darkness
Of these naked empty streets
I’m free to just breathe
She said I’m the king of random phone calls
I explained it’s just this time of year
These awkward conversations
These constant isolations
And this town
Is bringin’ me down
Just Another American Folk Song
Written for Another American Girl
Just Another American Dreamer
Just Another American Fall
So drop me a line
Oh, if you can find the time
I’d love to hear just where you’ve ended up
Does happiness rest at your door?
Do you ever think about us anymore?
Just Another American Folk Song
Written for Another American Girl
Just Another American Dreamer
Just Another American Fall
So bogged down with this flesh and bone
I’m not supposed to feel quite this alone
Amidst the clutter
Watch me stutter, step, and fall
I haven’t the strength to get back up
Cause I am empty, floating loveless
Cut me and I bleed only dust
Just Another American Folk Song

Just Another American Fal
For some reason that was on my mind. Seriously, someone singing any one of these songs to me would totally make me swoon. Sadly enough though, that doesn't look like it's happening any time soon. Rather depressing, but someday.
So I'm a hopeless romantic. That's okay with me. There are far worse things to be.
You never let me down before
