  Now that i'm done barfing

  Evertime(don't know why) someone mentions Creed I think of this song.

  This one reminds me of being a little kid afraid of the dark.

  Santana F/ Everlast
  Put Your Lights On
  
  

  Hey now all you sinner Put your lights on put your lights on Hey now all you lovers Put you lights on put your lights on Hey now all you killers Put you lights on put you lights on Hey now all you children Leave your lights on leave you lights on Because there's a monster living under my bed Whispering in my ear There's an angel with a hand on my head She says I've got nothing to fear There's a darkness deep in my soul I still got a purpose to serve So let your lights shine, into my home God dont let me lose my nerve Hye now, hey now, hey now, hey now Wo-oh hey now, hey now hey now, hey now Hye now all you sinners Put you lights on, put you lights on Hey now, all you children Leave your lights on you better leave your lights on Because there's a monster living under my bed Whispering in my ear There's an angel with a hand on my head She says I've got nothing to fear She says, whooo-ahha hey la la, you shine like stars Whoo-aohaha hey la la, you shine like stars And fade away

  Song: For Your Eyes Only
  Artist: Sheena Easton

  Soundtrack : 007 : for your eyes only (1981)

  For your eyes only can see me through the night
  For your eyes only I never need to hide
  You can see so much in me
  So much in me that's new
  I never felt until I looked at you
  For your eyes only, only for you
  The love I know you need in me
  The fantasy you've freed in me
  Only for you, only for you

  For your eyes only, the nights are never cold,

  You really know me, that's all I need to knowMaybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine But you won't need to read between the lines

  
  For your eyes only, only for you
  You see what no one else can see
  Now I'm breaking free
  For your eyes only, only for you
  The passions that collide in me

  The wild abandoned side of me

  Only for you, for your eyes only

  If we are going to go with Sheena Easton, then I vote for Follow My Rainbow

  I'm not just looking for an answer to my prayers or my dreams
  It's just I feel my love needs more consistancy
  I'm about out of luck, half out of time I'm just about to lose my mind
  I'm starting to lose touch with my reality I never wished on stars
  I never thought that dreams came true.
  Yet in the midst of all my disbelief
  Darlin' now I feel like I am long overdue
  I search high and low to find my pot of gold
  And that's why, yeah

  Some day I'm gonna follow my rainbow.
  Some day I'm gonna reach for the sky
  By then if you're not ready or able
  I'll pack my pride for one last time
  Cross my heart and pray our love won't die.

  I'm not looking for an angel to make good on all my dreams
  It's just I feel our love's not all that it should be
  I'm not looking for a miracle. A mircale won't do The only miracle I need is to be you
  I don't believe in wishing wells
  Wishes don't come true.
  Yet in the midst of all my disbelief
  Darlin' now I feel like I am long overdue
  I'm searching high and low to find my pot of gold
  And that's why, yeah

  One, two princes kneel before you
  That's what I said now
  Princes, princes who adore you
  Just go ahead now
  One has diamonds in his pockets
  That's some bread, now
  This one said he wants to buy you rockets
  Ain't in his head, now
  
  This one he got a princely racket
  That's what I said now
  Got some Big Seal upon his jacket
  Ain't in his head now
  You marry him, your father will condone you
  How 'bout that now
  You marry me, your father will disown you
  He'll eat his hat, now
  
  Marry him, marry me
  I'm the one that loved you baby can't you see?
  Ain't got no future or family tree
  But I know what a prince and lover ought to be
  I know what a prince and lover ought be
  
  Said if you want to call me baby
  Just go ahead now
  And if you like to tell me maybe
  Just go ahead now
  And if you wanna to buy me flowers
  Just go ahead now
  And if you like to talk for hours
  Just go ahead now

  Oh!
  Just just go ahead now
  Oh, your majesty!
  Just go ahead now
  Come on forget the King who... marry me!
  Just go ahead now
  Come on, come on, come on
  Just go ahead now
  Go ahead now
  Just go ahead now, etc.
