Tears in Heaven
(Sigh) Skin
Forever and ever, amen (my parents song)
Watching Scotty Grow (my brothers song when growing up)God Bless the USA (first song my singer son loved/sang)
I Ran (Flock of Seagulls)-my baby LOVED that song and knew the words when he wasn't even 2. Played with Spage Age love song which I just really like, but it doesn't make me cry. Makes me sad though. Just to let you know-its my husbands fault I ever listened to that album, he goes through Seagull phases and thats all we hear, just happened to go through that one when my littlest was learning to talk, and it was kind of catchy. Now it makes all of us nostalgic. . .on principle, I think it's a goofy band, but there are extenuating circumstances so I kinda like them. Sorta.

Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now) Phil Collins
How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is
Watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds and that's
What I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
Well that's all I can do and that's
What I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho -

Tears In Heaven Eric Clapton
(CHORUS)
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven -

Unanswered Prayers
Garth BrooksJust the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that god would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Chorus
Sometimes I thank god for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of god's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good lord
For the gifts in my life
Chorus
Some of god's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of god's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers -

Desperado by the Eagles
Desperado,why don't you come to your senses;
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds,Boy.
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.
Now, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table,
but you only want the ones that you can't get.
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger;
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom,oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine;
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
You're loosin' all your highs and lows;
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences; open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
