Favourite Meat Loaf song or lyrics

[AutisticLegoLover]

I am so upset to hear Meat Loaf has passed away. I am listening to For Crying Out Loud and wondering if I could choose my favourite song or lyrics. There are so many I might find it impossible to choose. My brother had the album Bat Out Of Hell and it was one of the soundtracks to my childhood from around age 4. We still have the LP My brother saw him live in Germany back in the 80s and said he was awesome.
My two current favourites are Bat out of Hell and Heaven Can Wait but this might change by the end of the weekend. I'll have to have a think about lyrics.
Please share yours in honour of such a fantastic performer who brought joy to sp many.

And I’m Gonna Love Her for Both of Us:

You turned her into a ghost
But she’ll be burning when the night is done
I’ll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun.

The LP of BOOH has the lyrics on the inner sleeve and I devoured them as a wee lass.

So many, but I love It's All Coming Back To Me.

It does, OP, and one of my DCs asked if my album was 'a genuine antique' - what a cheek!

Am sitting with a meat loaf playlist on. Just so many fantastic songs and great lyrics.

Life is a lemon, I often quote the lyrics to this one when having a crappy day. Now my kids will get why'

HEAVEN CAN WAIT

Heaven can wait
And a band of angels wrapped up in my heart
Will take me through the lonely night
Through the cold of the day
And I know
I know
Heaven can wait
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me
And the melody's gonna make me fly
Without pain
Without fear

Give me all of your dreams
And let me go along on your way
Give me all of your prayers to sing
And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day
I've got a taste of paradise
I'm never gonna let it slip away
I got a taste of paradise
It's all I really need to make me stay -
Just like a child again

Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine

And I know that I've been released
But I don't know to where
And nobody's gonna tell me now
And I don't really care
No no no
I got a taste of paradise
That's all I really need to make me stay
I got a taste of paradise
If I had it any sooner you know
You know I never would have run away from my home

Heaven can wait
And all I got is time until the end of time
I won't look back
I won't look back
Let the altars shine
Let the altars shine

RIP Meat Loaf/Michael - thanks for the music and the memories.

I spent a good portion of today listening to Meat Loaf. Saw him in 2013 and grateful for it. My version of "I saw Queen live" for me to say when I'm old and wise.

I love It's All Coming Back To Me Now.

There's a good Meat Loaf documentary on iPlayer. I'm gonna watch Fight Club later to further appreciate another aspect of his work

I'd Do Anything For Love was played by the band at Buckingham Palace this morning as a tribute to Meat Loaf.

I still can't decide. Heaven can wait is a really emotional song for me. BOOH is a full on epic and Paradise is good fun.
