Squeeky's post in LMAO made me want to start this thread.  Music has always been a huge part of my life.  Music is very powerful and the lyrics that go with them... well they can bring you to tears... Well here's a thread to share the songs that have been special in your life.  And if there's a story to go with the lyrics... even better!

After All These Years
- Journey

A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace

Since those days the world has changed
But our love remains the same
God knows
We've had our share of saving grace

And I'm proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we've climbed
To get this far

We learned to take
The laughter with the tears
After all these years

You make it feel brand new
After the fires we walked through
Against the odds
We never lost our faith

In a house we've made our own
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments
Time can not erase

Made a living up and down
The gypsy highways
The seasons that
We had to share apart
Somehow in my heart
I'll always keep you near
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed
Believed in me And you stood strong
'Cause with our love
There's nothing left to fear
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed
Believed in me and you stood strong
'Cause with our love
There's nothing left to fear
After all these years

I've always been a big Tom Waits fan, he's definetly not for everyone. I've always wanted to see him but he never comes out this way....video is hilarious.
 
I Don't Wanna Grow Up Lyrics
Tom Waits

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Chocolate Jesus Lyrics
Tom Waits
 
I don't go to church on Sunday
I don't get down on my knees to pray
I don't memorize the books of the Bible
'Cause I got my own special way
Still I know Jesus loves me
I'll have to say maybe just a little bit more
Cause I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
If your gonna Keep me satisfied
Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
'Cause there ain't nothing that is better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
I said it's better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus 
That will ever satisfy my soul
(Solo)
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Gotta pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
if your gonna keep me satisfied

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia
I don't know

Well I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Oooh Mr Breeze

If you want to dance
Grab yourself a body
And take a chance
They say one time around
Is all you get
But I'm still dancin'
So you lost your bet

I got a hardcore mama
With a hot hoochie coo
Make my wheels start spinnin'
Like a formula two

I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I

Got my brand new baby
She's my brand new drug

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also 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 cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

What a Wonderful World Lyrics

A Case Of You   Printer-friendly version of this lyric
by Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I remember that time you told me you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

From the movie Practical Magic.

If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away

If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known

Imagine a world where no music was playin
Then think of a church with nobody prayin
If you've ever looked up at a sky with no blue
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growin
Or stood by a river where nothing was flowin
If you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Can you picture heaven with no angels singin
Or a quiet Sunday mornin with no church bells ringin
If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Then you've seen a picture of me without you
