Earlier this afternoon, I had a meeting with a radio account manager, and he mentioned a contest wherein listeners sent in their all-time favorite lyrics. When he shared his lyrics with me, my response was, "How chivalrous!"
Prince and Sade are my musical yin and yang. Sade's "HAUNT ME" lyrics are perhaps one of my all-time faves, because there is so much beauty in its simplicity.
haunt me
in my dreams
if you please
your breath is with me now and always
it's like a breeze
so should you ever doubt me
if it's help that you need
never dare to doubt me
and if you want to sleep
i'll be quiet
like an angel
as quiet as your soul could be
if you only knew
you had a friend like me
so should you ever doubt me
if it's help that you need
never dare to doubt me
~ Please feel free to share yours!
Here's the lyric I mentioned that you said was "chivalrous"
ReplyDeleteTaken from Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should Have Come Over."
"It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"
