I woke up today with this feeling
That better things are coming my way (way)
And if the sunshine has a meaning
Telling me not to let things get in my way
1990s

Last night they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings
Angel

And I'm telling this story
In a faraway sea
Sipping down raki
And reading Maynard KeynesAnd I'm telling this story
In a faraway sea

From yesterday:

There's so much tenderness in your loving.
Tomorrow I must leave.
The dawn knows no reprieve.

80s

SimplySteveRedux · 05/08/2020 13:14

Isn't that song called Heaven, @xsquared ? I have absolutely no idea who it's by, local radio had an 80's night on a couple of weeks ago.

Iggi999 · 05/08/2020 15:20

Hands to heaven, Breathe.
(I've completely run out of my own lyrics!)

xsquared · 05/08/2020 15:44

Nearly @SimplySteveRedux but @Iggi999 is spot on.

Fleamaker123 · 05/08/2020 18:44

And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
When all this guilt will be on your head

midgebabe · 05/08/2020 18:52

Can't stand losing you

Fleamaker123 · 05/08/2020 18:58

Yes midgebabe 👍

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse?

Ok, I will destroy any vestige of credibility by admitting I know this one (recognised it straightaway but hoped someone else would jump in!)

It's Keep on Movin'' by Five. It also contains the laureate-worthy rhyming lyrics:
Never let go, gotta hold on in
Non-stop 'til the break of dawnin

TwigTheWonderKid · 05/08/2020 19:27

No one got this from yesterday. Have added some more.

Well you can turns the lights down low
Some things are better that way
And you can tell me all your stories
But please spare me the plays
Cos you don't have to say you love me
And you don't have to save any tears
No you don't have to say you love me

CoffeeBeansGalore · 05/08/2020 19:36

@TwigTheWonderKid Correct 😄😄😄
