    OK here's your chance...Not neccesarily your favorite,but what you think is the best one....One vote apiece please...

    Mine is He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones...I love the sentiment,that he loved her til the day he died.

    Maybe not the best song of all time , but this one is on my mind for now. Tomorrow it could be a Barry Mannilow tune, which by the way have wonderful lyrics. Don't laugh :)

    This is a tie for me -- as they both have deep meaning. More than the music you see...

    What a Wonderful World


    I see trees of green........ red roses too
    I watch 'em bloom..... for me and for you
    And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

    I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
    Bright blessed days....warm sacred nights
    And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

    The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty in the sky
    Are there on the faces.....of people going by
    I see friends shaking hands.....sayin' how do you do
    They're really sayin'......I love you.

    I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
    They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
    And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

    The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty in the sky
    Are there on the faces.....of people going by
    I see friends shaking hands.....sayin' how do you do
    They're really sayin'... I LOVE YOU

    I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
    You know their gonna learn
    a whole lot more than I'll never know
    And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
    Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

    I Will Never Be The Same

    So you walked with me for a while
    Bared your naked soul
    And you told me of your plan
    How you would never let them know
    In the morning of the night
    You cried a long lost child
    And I tried on I tried to hold you
    But you were young
    And you were wild

    But I, I will never be the same
    Oh I, I will never be the same
    Caught in your eyes
    Lost in your name
    I will never be the same

    Secrets of your life
    I never wanted for myself
    But you guarded them like a lie
    Placed up on the highest shelf
    In the morning of the night
    When I woke to find you gone
    I knew your distant devil
    Must be draggin' you along

    And you swore that you were bound for glory
    And for wanting you had no shame
    But I loved you
    And then I lost you
    And I will never be the same

    pssst LyinEyes - I don't mind some of Barry's songs either

    One of my favourites is this one:

    I Don't Know How to Love Him

    I don't know how to love him
    What to do, how to move him
    I've been changed
    Yes really changed
    In these past few days
    When I've seen myself
    I seem like someone else

    I don't know how to take this
    I don't see why he moves me
    He's a man
    He's just a man
    And I've had so many men before
    In very many ways
    He's just one more

    Should I bring him down?
    Should I scream and shout?
    Should I speak of love?
    Let my feelings out?
    I never thought I'd come to this
    What's it all about?

    Don't you think it's rather funny
    That i should be in this position?
    I'm the one
    Who's always been
    So calm, so cool
    No lover's fool
    Running every show
    He scares me so

    I never thought I'd come to this
    What's it all about?

    Yet, if he said he loved me
    I'd be lost, I'd be frightened
    I couldn't cope
    Just couldn't cope
    I'd turn my head
    I'd back away
    I wouldn't want to know
    He scares me so
    I want him so
    I love him so
