Resonant Lyrics

The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra

:roll:

I sing this to my boys (not very well I might add). I just love the lyrics.

This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore

You may not believe it
But I don’t believe in miracles anymore
And when I think about it
I don’t believe I ever did for sure
All the things I’ve said in songs
All the purple prose you bought from me
Reality’s just black and white
The sentimental things I’d write
Never meant that much to me

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop
This train don’t stop
This train don’t stop there anymore

You don’t need to hear it
But I’m dried up and sick to death of love
If you need to know it
I never really understood that stuff
All the stars and bleeding hearts
All the tears that welled up in my eyes
Never meant a thing to me
Read ’em as they say and weep
I’ve never felt enough to cry

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop
This train don’t stop
This train don’t stop there anymore

When I said that I don’t care
It really means my engine’s breaking down
The chisel chips my heart again
The granite cracks beneath my skin
I crumble into pieces on the ground

I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop
This train don’t stop
This train don’t stop there anymore

This train don’t stop
This train don’t stop
This train don’t stop there anymore

Oh yeah..

Elton John / Bernie Taupin

I Want Love

I want love
But it’s impossible
A man like me
So irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

And I can’t love
Shot full of holes
Don’t feel nothing
I just feel cold
Don’t feel nothing
Just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love won’t break me down
Won’t brick me up
Won’t fence me in
I want a love that don’t mean a thing
That’s the love I want
I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I’ve ever learned
Me I carry too much baggage
Oh man I’ve seen so much traffic

But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love won’t break me down
Won’t brick me up
Won’t fence me in
I want a love that don’t mean a thing
That’s the love I want
I want love

So bring it on
I’ve been bruised
Don’t give me love that’s clean and smooth
I’m ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance
I’ve had enough

A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love won’t break me down
Won’t brick me up
Won’t fence me in
I want a love that don’t mean a thing
That’s the love I want
I want love

I want love
Just a different kind
I want love won’t break me down
Won’t brick me up
Won’t fence me in
I want a love that don’t mean a thing
That’s the love I want
I want love

Elton John / Bernie Taupin

i love that song!

heres anuvver fave of mine by elton

“Turn The Lights Out When You Leave”

Your bags out on the bed
Your closet’s all cleared out
You say you’re goin’ to Jacksonville
‘Cause our love’s all worn out
You’re searching in my eyes
To try and find a tear
But the well of my forgiveness
Has dried up with the years

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you’ve got your signals crossed
If you think that I’m a mess

I ain’t gonna die, I ain’t gonna cry
I won’t wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won’t break my heart
Oh and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave
I ain’t gonna shake, I ain’t gonna break
I ain’t gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything’s been said I’m heading back to bed
Oh and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave

It’s like a prime time movie
You play the part so well
You do believe you’re Heaven sent
And livin’ here is hell

I hear it’s hot in Florida
And it’s raining here tonight
But the sun’s gonna shine tomorrow
And I’m gonna do alright

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you’ve got your signals crossed
If you think that I’m a mess

I ain’t gonna die, I ain’t gonna cry
I won’t wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won’t break my heart
Oh, and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave
I ain’t gonna shake, I ain’t gonna break
I ain’t gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything’s been said I’m heading back to bed
Oh and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave

You might still look pretty
In that lacey little dress
But I think you’ve got your signals crossed
If you think that I’m a mess

I ain’t gonna die, I ain’t gonna cry
I won’t wear my heart out on my sleeve
You can take the car, but you won’t break my heart
And darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave
I ain’t gonna shake, I ain’t gonna break
I ain’t gonna fall down on my knees
So if everything’s been said I’m heading back to bed
Oh and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave

So if everything’s been said I’m heading back to bed
Oh and darlin’ turn the lights out when you leave

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in… again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?
I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole… defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It’s never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?

In time our soul untold
I’m just another soul for sale… oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

I’m the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right
I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?

What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?

What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
(You know they all… pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays
(You know they all… pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?
