Surprised no one got The Stranglers, Peaches @FlouncerInDenial. Or have I skimmed too quickly..?

Really, does nobody know mine? It’s a song I love but I’m starting to think this is going to be one of those songs that passed everyone else by. Here are more, so many more lyrics... 90s.

Too many sad days
Too many Xxxxxx
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
I dreamt you were dressed in mourning
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
Xxxxxxxxxx
I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday morning
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me

I’ve killed the thread with my song no one knows... Sad

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 09:46

Morning all

May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right
1980s

@FlouncingBabooshka Don't worry, it'll take more than one song! How is the hole/floor situation going?

No More Lonely Nights Paul McCartney. What was that film it was in?

Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in

I was just in a shop and they were playing this. I havent heard it for about 30 years:

There's smell of fresh cut grass and it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down on the blossoms in the avenue
There's a buzzing fly hanging around the bluebells and the daisies
And there's a lot more loving left in this world
80s

FlouncingBabooshka · 09/10/2020 13:04

At last! Yes FlouncerinD. Blimey though, had to put most of the song up...

Floor isn’t there any more @CoffeeBeansGalore! The asbestos men took it away. We’ve lost the use of two rooms whilst the industrial dehumidifiers do their job. Has to dry out properly before they can put new floors down. God but they are noisy!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/10/2020 14:10

@FlouncingBabooshka At least things are moving forward!

@TwigTheWonderKid Yes, Paul McCartney 😊👍It was used in Give my regards to Broad Street

It's amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark

Several versions, most famous probably 1999

If I were to say to you, "can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?
Then I say, "I love you", foul the situation
Hey girl, I thought we were the right combination

I Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land

Your the light that brightens all of my days
And the sun shines above you
And I would die if someone took you away
'Cause I love you
Love You

That'll teach me to proof read before I post! First line of the one above should be
You're the light that brightens all of my days
