You whisper softly to me
You’re in control
Just like a child
(80s)

I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I gotta crazy teacher

We may stay together
But if we part
I’m sure we’ll meet again

A theme.

And then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine
60s

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
60s

I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
80s

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home
70s

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
70s

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
70s

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
70s

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
70s

Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
50s, covered in 70s

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 23:47

This isn't a group/song style you lot go for, but I love this song.

If we could take the time
To lay in on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

Late 80s or early 90s

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 23:49

Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

90s

FlouncerInDenial · 26/10/2020 23:50

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
