We all love music, and have the lyrics running through our head. I will start with a few lines from a song. The idea is to pull one or two words, or a phrase from that song clip and post another short clip of another song that uses those same words. In posting lyrics, please ~ ~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less ~ boldface the Linking word or phrase ~ identify the title of the song, and ~ identify the composer or first performer of the song OK. Here we go. ********************************* Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. of course, the song is "Amanda" by Waylon Jennings written by Bob McDill | ||

Oh, I like this game! When will I see you again? When will we share precious moments? Will I have to wait forever? Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through? When will I see you again? When will our hearts beat together? Are we in love or just friends? Is this my beginning or is this the end? | |||

Tonight, Tonight, won't be just any night. Tonight there will be no morning star. Tonight, Tonight, I'll see my love tonight. And for us stars will stop where they are. Today the minutes seem like hours, The hours go so slowly, And still the sky is light, The moon burns bright, And make this endless day, endless night, Tonight, Tonight. "Tonight" ~~from West Side Story | |||

Ev’rybody might be just one big soul Well it looks that-a way to me Everywhere that you look in the day or night That’s where I’ gonna be, ma That’s where I’m gonna be Wherever little children are hungry and cry Wherever people ain’t free Wherever men are fightin’ for their rights, Thats where I’m gonna be, ma That’s where I’m gonna be "The Ballad of Tom Joad" -- Woodie Guthrie | |||

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me: As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, While God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. -- The Battle Hymn of the Republic by Julia Ward Howe (full text, and midi, at site) | |||

The things we take for granted In this life we lead are tragic We should be ashamed He left his home and family And cast his fate across the sea Would we do the same Well I sure bet he’s got some stories he could tell Ain’t that many ever made it back from hell POW 369 I should salute you from this heart of mine And thank you for placing your life on the line For me, I’m free I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one And may you take your own sweet time Mr. POW 369 Let me thank you one more time Mr. POW 369 "POW 369" ~~Darryl Worley | |||

That link includes some verses I'd never heard. But much more fascinating is that I'd known the line as "As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." What a profound difference to learn that that line was later changed to As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free. [Corrected my typo -- sorry to have generated that confusion, Angel.] [This message was edited by wordnerd on Sun Sep 22nd, 2002 at 11:51.] | |||

Wordnerd, not quite sure that is what you meant to say. But from the site you gave, I found this: As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free; [originally As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free] Does that clarify things any? | |||

She walks the mile makes you smile all the while being true Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first She will if she can find a man who knows her worth Oh Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her And a real woman knows a real man always comes first And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth "A Woman's Worth" ~~Alicia Keys | |||

This is a Latalat Tasimi Wrawl but I apologize for the connection being so slender. One somewhat astounding aspect of these lyrics is that while they came from a fairly unknown John Prine piece, the tune later became the theme song to the TV show "The Texas Wheelers" back in (I think)the 70's. She walks the mile, makes you smile... When I woke up this mornin', things were lookin' bad. Seems like total silence was the only friend I had. A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down - and won. An' it was twelve o'clock 'fore I realized I was havin' no fun. Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality. (Chorus:) And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile. It don't cost very much but it lasts a long while. Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone. No, I'm just tryin' to have me some fun. Illegal Smile, by John Prine | |||

When I woke up this mornin' Like me the sun was high Well I started walkin' the long way home Just to think of an alibi Well I couldn't think of a doggone thing That hadn't already been said So I guess I better just play it by ear For I'm already dead But today I'll face the big fight but I really had a ball last night "Feelin' Single And Seein Double" ~~Chely Wright | |||
