    I couldn't understand why they never had Cher & Christina perform a duet in that movie.

    I haven't seen that movie yet but it shocks me to hear they didn't either!

    Is it a good movie?

    I have def gotta see that movie..ok, let's see how good you guys and gals are at research..was the following a poem, lyrics to a folk song, or a childrens game??

    As I was walkin' up the stair
    I saw a man who wasn't there
    He wasn't there again today
    Oh how I wish he'd go away

    and a very well done to the person that can paste the entire "poem..lyrics..game on here"...

    Old folk ditty, oft plagiarized, at least once on this site:

    One bright day in the middle of the night
    Two dead boys got up to fight
    Back to back they faced each other
    Drew their swords and shot each other
    A deaf policeman heard the noise
    He came and killed those two dead boys
    One bright day in the middle of the night
    As I was walkin' up the stair
    I saw a man who wasn't there
    He wasn't there again today
    Oh how I wish he'd go away

    Jaybird sittin' on a hickory limb
    He winked at me and I winked at him
    His eyes were red and his teeth were green
    Sat there pickin' on a tambourine

    (chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

    A monkey and a flea and three blind mice
    Sat on a curbstone shootin' dice
    The monkey did a flip and fell on the flea
    The flea said, "Whoops, there's a monkey on me"

    A Twinkie and a Tastykake knockin' at the door
    They just come from the mini-mart store
    Granny went upstairs to get her gun
    Should-a seen the Twinkie and the Tastykake run

    (chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

    As I was walkin' down the street
    Who do ya think I chanced to meet?
    It was Godzilla and old King Kong
    Stompin' on buildings and singin' a song

    Red and blue and delicate green
    The King can't catch it 'n' neither can the Queen
    Bring it in the house through the 'lectric socket
    Catch a rainbow and put it in your pocket

    (chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

    If you don't believe these lies are true
    Ask the blind man, he saw it too

    Traditional words --
    Music and new lyrics by Josh Wachtel and Alexei Panshin

    A Patrick Swayze song that so melts my insides:

    SHE'S LIKE THE WIND (Dirty Dancing)
    Songwriters: Patrick Swayze; Stacy Widelitz

    She's like the wind through my tree
    She rides the night next to me
    She leads me through moonlight
    Only to burn me with the sun
    She's taken my heart
    But she doesn't know what she's done

    I feel her breath on my face
    Her body close to me
    Can't look in her eyes
    She's out of my league

    Just a fool to believe
    I have anything she needs
    She's like the wind

    I look in the mirror and all I see
    Is a young old man with only a dream
    Am I just fooling myself
    That she'll stop the pain
    Living without her
    I'd go insane

    I feel her breath on my face
    Her body close to me
    Can't look in her eyes
    She's out of my league

    Just a fool to believe
    I have anything she needs
    She's like the wind

    I feel your breath on my face
    Your body close to me
    Can't look in your eyes
    You're out of my league

    Just a fool to believe
    (Just a fool to believe)
    She's like the wind

    (Just a fool to believe)
    Just a fool to believe
    (She's like the wind)

    Just a fool to believe
    (Just a fool to believe)
    She's like the wind

    (Just a fool to believe)
    Just a fool to believe
    She's like the wind

    Just a fool
    She's like the wind
    She's like the wind

    Just a fool
    She's like the wind
    Just a fool

    Patrick..a guy that had more than 15 minutes of fame..beautiful lyrics. In this life, I have learned many things. As for ladies we love..the loves of our life. Some are lucky enough to marry them..others just have memories to hold, but the one thing any man truly in love knows..is that she is his "everything". God bless you all this night until tomorrow!

    Lioness, couldn't agree more. I'm a big Patrick fan, he had me at Dirty Dancing... one of my favorite movies of all time. What a babe. So sad he's gone.

    Those songs posted so far are good ones, I had heard some of them and was glad to discover the others :)

    This song is one of my favourites at the moment
    This years love - David Gray

    This years love had better last
    Heaven knows it's high time
    And I've been waiting on my own too long
    But when you hold me like you do
    It feels so right
    I start to forget
    How my heart gets torn
    When that hurt gets thrown
    Feeling like you can't go on

    Turning circles when time again
    It cuts like a knife oh yeah
    If you love me got to know for sure
    Cos it takes something more this time
    Than sweet sweet lies
    Before I open up my arms and fall
    Losing all control
    Every dream inside my soul
    And when you kiss me
    On that midnight street
    Sweep me off my feet
    Singing ain't this life so sweet

    This years love had better last
    This years love had better last

    So whose to worry
    If our hearts get torn
    When that hurt gets thrown
    Don't you know this life goes on
    And won't you kiss me
    On that midnight street
    Sweep me off my feet
    Singing ain't this life so sweet

    This years love had better last
    This years love had better last
    This years love had better last
    This years love had better last

    Another one just came on my mp3 player, and I said I'd share it here too. Many people may not have heard of it, its an Irish song.

    The town I loved so well - Luke Kelly (written by Phil Coulter)

    In my memory I will always see
    the town that I have loved so well
    Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
    and we laughed through the smoke and the smell
    Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
    past the jail and down behind the fountain
    Those were happy days in so many, many ways
    in the town I loved so well

    In the early morning the shirt factory horn
    called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
    While the men on the dole played a mother's role,
    fed the children and then trained the dogs
    And when times got tough there was just about enough
    But they saw it through without complaining
    For deep inside was a burning pride
    in the town I loved so well

    There was music there in the Derry air
    like a language that we all could understand
    I remember the day when I earned my first pay
    And I played in a small pick-up band
    There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
    I was sad to leave it all behind me
    For I learned about life and I'd found a wife
    in the town I loved so well

    But when I returned how my eyes have burned
    to see how a town could be brought to its knees
    By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
    and the gas that hangs on to every tree
    Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
    and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
    With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done
    to the town I loved so well

    Now the music's gone but they carry on
    For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
    They will not forget but their hearts are set
    on tomorrow and peace once again
    For what's done is done and what's won is won
    and what's lost is lost and gone forever
    I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
    in the town I loved so well.

    Little Wonders Lyrics

    let it go,
    let it roll right off your shoulder
    don't you know
    the hardest part is over
    let it in,
    let your clarity define you
    in the end
    we will only just remember how it feels

    our lives are made
    in these small hours
    these little wonders,
    these twists & turns of fate
    time falls away,
    but these small hours,
    these small hours still remain

    let it slide,
    let your troubles fall behind you
    let it shine
    until you feel it all around you
    and i don't mind
    if it's me you need to turn to
    we?ll get by,
    it's the heart that really matters in the end

    our lives are made
    in these small hours
    these little wonders,
    these twists & turns of fate
    time falls away,
    but these small hours,
    these small hours still remain

    all of my regret
    will wash away some how
    but i can not forget
    the way i feel right now

    in these small hours
    these little wonders
    these twists & turns of fate
    these twists & turns of fate
    time falls away but these small hours
    these small hours, still remain,
    still remain
    these little wonders
    these twists & turns of fate
    time falls away
    but these small hours
    these little wonders still remain

    Edited out Stay or Leave by Dave Matthews Band. It's a beautiful song, but I'd rather post this one. It reminds me of two things: The first is my dad. The second is sitting on the back of a train in the middle of the night headed to Sydney (Oz) after quitting my polo job in Goulburn.

    Ft. Worth Blues
    Steve Earle

    In Ft. Worth all the neon's burnin' bright
    Pretty lights red and blue
    But they'd shut down all the honky tonks tonight
    And say a prayer or two
    If they only knew

    You used to say the highway was your home
    But we both know that ain't true
    It's just the only place a man can go
    When he don't know where he's travelin' to

    But Colorado's always clean and healin'
    And Tennessee in Spring is green and cool
    It never really was your kind of town
    But you went around with the Ft. Worth Blues

    Somewhere up beyond the great divide
    Where the sky is wide and the clouds are few
    A man can see his way clear to the light
    Just hold on tight
    That's all you gotta do

    And they say Texas weather's always changin'
    And one thing change'll bring is somethin' new
    And Houston really ain't that bad a town
    So you hang around with the Ft. Worth Blues

    There's a full moon over Galway Bay tonight
    Silver light over green and blue
    And every place I travel through, I find
    Some kinda sign that you've been through

    But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
    And London never fails to leave me blue
    Paris never was my kinda town
    So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues

    Rosaura & my favorite dance hall, Whiskey River, has Steve Earl's Copperhead Road as its anthem. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttitN75ESvY&feature=related>

    Personally, I cannot stay seated when The Galway Girl is played. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7-PM_4aeE4&feature=related>

    First a WARNING.."Graphic Lyrics"..just thought you might want to see how many fringes there are of music today. This is a country rock version of this song. It was done by the Louvin Brothers and many other blue grass artists. I've researched it and was told it was taken from an Irish ballad called the "The Wexford Girl". It's about a girl with a "roamin eye", which I guess means she cheated. Hardly a reason to kill her though..

    Lyrics:

    Knoxville Girl

    I met a Girl in Knoxville
    A town we all know well
    And every sunday evening
    In her home I'd dwell
    We went to take an evening walk
    About a mile from town
    I picked a stick up off the ground
    And I knocked that fair girl down
    She fell down on her bended knees
    For mercy she did cry
    "Oh Willy, dear, don't kill me yet
    I'm not prepared to die"
    She never spoke another word
    I only beat her more
    Until the ground around me
    With her blood did flow
    I took her by her golden curls
    And I dragged her 'round and 'round
    Throwing her into the river
    That flows from Knoxville town
    Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
    With your dark and roving eyes
    Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
    You can never be my bride
    I started back to Knoxville
    Got there about midnight
    My mother, she was worried
    She woke up in a fright
    Saying, "Dear son, what have you done
    To bloody up your clothes?"
    I told my anxious mother
    That I was bleading in my nose
    I called for me a candle
    And I called for me a bed
    And I called for me a handkerchief
    To bind my aching head
    I rolled and thrashed the whole night through
    All horrors I did see
    The devil stood at the foot of my bed
    Pointing his finger at me
    They carried me down to Knoxville
    And put me in a cell
    My friends all tried to get me out
    But none could grow my bail
    I'm here to waste my life away
    Down in this dirty old jail
    Because I murdered that Knoxville girl
    The girl I loved so well.

    SMILE :)
    I love this one

    You're better than the best
    I'm lucky just to linger in your light
    Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
    Completely unaware
    Nothing can compare to where you send me
    Let's me know that it's okay (yea, it's okay)
    And the moments when my good times start to fade

    You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
    Sing like a bird,
    Dizzy in my head
    Spin like a record,
    Crazy on a Sunday night
    You make me dance like fool,
    Forget how to breathe
    Shine like gold,
    Buzz like a bee
    Just the thought of you can drive me wild
    Oh, you make me smile

    Even when you're gone
    Somehow you come along just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
    And just like that
    You steal away the rain
    And just like that

    (CHORUS)

    Don't know how I lived without you
    'Cuz everytime that I get around you
    I see the best of me inside your eyes
    You make me smile
    You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
    Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
    Just the thought of you can drive me wild
    Oh, you make me smile

    [Chorus]

    (Oh, you make me smile)
    Oh you make me smille
    (Oh, you make me smile)
    Oh you make me smille

    THE SCRIPT (Irish Band), they are my inspiration, and this song is amazing...

    "If You Ever Come Back"

    If you're standing with your suitcase
    But you can't step on the train
    Everything's the way that you left it
    I still haven't slept yet

    And if you're covering your face now
    But you just can't hide the pain
    Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you

    If the truth is you're a liar
    Then just say that you're okay
    I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
    Goin' out of my head now

    And if you're out there trying to move on
    But something pulls you back again
    I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room

    And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
    And I wish you could still give me a hard time
    And I wish I could still wish it was over
    But even if wishing is a waste of time
    Even if I never cross your mind

    I'll leave the door on the latch
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back
    There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
    And it will be just like you were never gone
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back if you ever come back now
    Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

    Now they say I'm wasting my time
    'Cause you're never comin' home
    But they used to say the world was flat
    But how wrong was that now?

    And by leavin' my door open
    I'm riskin' everything I own
    There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken

    And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
    And I wish you can still give me a hard time
    And I wish I could still wish it was over
    But even if wishing is a waste of time
    Even if I never cross your mind

    I'll leave the door on the latch
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back
    There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
    And it will be just like you were never gone
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
    Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back

    If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
    I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
    If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
    Oh just remember this, oh just remember this

    I'll leave the door on the latch
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back
    There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
    And it will be just like you were never gone
    There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
    Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back

    And it will be just like you were never gone
    And it will be just like you were never gone
    And it will be just like you were never gone
    If you ever come back, if you ever come back now

    If you're around my age, this song might remind you of your late childhood.

    What It's Like - Everlast
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCZ1YteCv5M

    We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
    The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
    He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
    "Get a job, you f-ing slob," is all he replies
    God forbid, you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
    'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like

    Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
    He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
    I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
    But 3 months later, he say he won't date her or return her calls
    And she swear, "Goddamn, if I find that man, I'm cuttin' off his balls"

    And then she heads for the clinic
    And she gets some static walking through the door
    They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
    And they call her a whore
    God forbid, you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
    'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like

    I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin
    I've seen a tough man cry, I've seen a loser win
    And a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie
    I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up
    And everything between

    I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup
    And smoked the finest green
    I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
    Before I broke their heart
    You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

    I knew this kid named Max
    Who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
    He liked to hang out late
    He liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs

    Until late one night, there was a big old fight and Max lost his head
    He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
    Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
    You know it comes that way
    At least that's what they say when you play the game
    God forbid, you ever had to wake up to hear the news
    'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like
    Then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

    ^Wow. Hard hitter here. Here are some softer one's:

    A few of Barry Manilow's, that hit hard:

    You know I can't smile without you
    I can't smile without you
    I can't laugh and I can't sing
    I'm finding it hard to do anything
    You see I feel sad when you're sad
    I feel glad when you're glad
    If you only knew what I'm going through
    I just can't smile without you

    You came along just like a song
    And brighten my day
    Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
    Now it all seems light years away

    And now you know I can't smile without you
    I can't smile without you
    I can't laugh and I can't sing
    I'm finding it hard to do anything
    You see I feel sad when your sad
    I feel glad when you're glad
    If you only knew what I'm going through
    I just can't smile

    Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
    Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

    And you see I can't smile without you
    I can't smile without you
    I can't laugh and I can't sing
    I'm finding it hard to do anything
    You see I feel glad when you're glad
    I feel sad when you're sad
    If you only knew what I'm going through
    I just can't smile without you

    Can't Take My Eyes Off You

    You're just too good to be true.
    Can't take my eyes off you.
    You'd be like heaven to touch.
    I wanna hold you so much.
    At long last love has arrived.
    And I thank God I'm alive.
    You're just too good to be true.
    Can't take my eyes off you.

    Pardon the way that I stare.
    There's nothing else to compare.
    The sight of you leaves me weak.
    There are no words left to speak.
    But if you feel like I feel.
    Please let me know that it's real.
    You're just too good to be true.
    Can't take my eyes off you.

    I love you baby, and if it's quite all right,
    I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
    I love you baby.
    Trust in me when I say:
    Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray.
    Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

    And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...

    I love you baby, and if it's quite allright,
    I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
    I love you baby.
    Trust in me when I say:
    Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down, I pray.
    Oh pretty baby, now that I found you. Stay.

    Oh pretty baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh pretty baby ...

    When I was backpacking through Vietnam, I paid a guy to take me on a 2 day trip on the back of his motorcycle and he could barely speak any English... but he knew all the words to Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You! And by the end of the trip, so did I :)

    I have a horribly embarrassing video of us singing it together going up a mountain that I wish I could remember the name of.

    If the guy was cute no wonder you couldn't remember the mountain lol

    A hauntingly beautiful composition. Dedicated by Ludwig van Beethoven to his pupil Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. At times you don't need words.

    Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata

    ^^You sir, are ahead of our time..good show, indeed!

    This thread would not be full without Gloria Gaynors' song..."I will Survive"

    At first I was afraid I was petrified
    Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
    But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
    And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

    And so you're back from outer space
    I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
    I should have changed that stupid lock
    I should have made you leave your key
    If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

    Go on now, go walk out the door
    Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
    Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    You'd think I crumble you'd think I'd lain down and died

    Oh no, not I, I will survive
    For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
    I've got all my life to live,
    I've got all my love to give
    And I'll survive,I will survive.

    It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
    Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
    And I spent oh so many nights
    Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry
    But now I hold my head up high
    And you see me somebody new
    I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
    And so you feel like droppin' in
    And just expect me to be free,
    Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

    go on no go
    walk out the door
    just turn around now
    cause you´re not welcome anymore,
    weren´t you the one that tried to break me with goodbye
    did you think I´d crumble
    did you think I´d lay down and die
    oh not I I will survive
    for as long as I know how to love I know I stay alive
    I´ve got all my life to live and I´ve got all my love to give and I survive
    I will survive

    Oh... go on now go walk out the door
    Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
    Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    You'd think I crumble you'd think I'd lain down and died

    Oh no, not I, I will survive
    For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
    I've got all my life to live,
    I've got all my love to give
    And I'll survive,I will survive...

    The very saddest thing is that the truth is very close to this song...I love women..your hormones are amazing...

    .Eagles - Lying Eyes Lyrics

    City girls just seem to find out early
    How to open doors with just a smile
    A rich old man
    And she won't have to worry
    She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
    Late at night a big old house gets lonely
    I guess ev'ry form of refuge has it's price
    And it breaks her heart to think her love is
    Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
    So she tells him she must go out for the evening
    To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
    But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
    She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
    You can't hide your lyin' eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you'd realize
    There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
    On the other side of town a boy is waiting
    With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
    She drives on through the nice anticipating
    'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
    She rushes to his arms,
    They fall together
    She whispers that it's only for awhile
    She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
    She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
    You can't hid your lyin' eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you'd realize
    There ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyes
    She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    And stares out at the stars up in the sky
    Another night, it's gonna be a long one
    She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
    She wonders how it ever got this crazy
    She thinks about a boy she knew in school
    Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
    She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
    My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
    You set it up so well, so carefully
    Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
    You're still the same old girl you used to be
    You can't hide your lyin eyes
    And your smile is a thin disguise
    I thought by now you'd realize
    There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
    There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
    Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

    I know most of you really try..God Bless....

    You have been loved ( George Michael)

    She takes the back road and the lane
    Past the school that has not changed
    In all this time
    She thinks of when the boy was young
    All the battles she had won
    Just to give him life

    That man
    She loved that man
    For all his life
    But now we meet to take him flowers
    And only god knows why

    For what's the use in pressing palms
    When children fade in mother's arms
    It's a cruel world
    We've so much to lose
    And what we have to learn, we rarely choose

    So if it's god who took her son
    He cannot be the one living in her mind

    Take care my love, she said
    Don't think that god is dead
    Take care my love, she said

    You have been loved

    If I was weak, forgive me
    But I was terrified
    You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
    The kind that makes devils cry

    So these days
    My life has changed
    And I'll be fine
    But she just sits and counts the hours
    Searching for her crime

    For what's the use in pressing palms
    If you won't keep such love from harm
    It's a cruel world
    You've so much to prove

    And heaven help the ones who wait for you

    Well I've no daughters, I've no sons
    Guess I'm the only one
    Living in my life

    Take care my love, he said
    Don't think that God is dead
    Take care my love, he said

    You have been loved
