Favourite soppy song?

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Mine is Elvis Costello's cover of She.

Although I am NOT a fan of Notting Hill, whenever its on I have to watch the last 5 minutes, to see the bit where Hugh is reading a book in the garden square and Julia Roberts is lying on the bench, pregnant. I always cry and I hate myself a little bit for it [ashamed emoticon].

Come on now, don't be shy ...

Hmmpphh.

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I listened to the album it is on a lot when ds was just growing out of the baby stage and my grandma was dying. I love the song still but if I hear it and I'm caught off guard I can cry buckets.

Years from Now - Dr Hook

Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading
I Hope I Don't Fall in Love With You by Tom Waits
I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt
Love Is Everything by Jane Siberry

I could go on. And on.

Into my arms Nick Cave
Power of love Frankie goes to hollywood

Ooh, yes, Power of Love.
And Mandolin Wind by Rod Stewart.

I love a good wallow, me...

Take That- Rule The World makes my eyes moisten everytime!

... and Elvis Costello's Funny Valentine
Got you under my skin The The
But for real out and out wallowing nothing beats Billie Holiday

that should be Uncertain Smile The The

Oh God, Billie...memories...

My Man...(skating over the wife-beating bit, obv)

And what about a bit of Nina?

Do What You've Gotta Do...gets me every time.

I can't help myself but I also love that Prince song Nothing Compares To You sung by Sinead O'Connor

Have I Told You Lately - Van Morrison.

Prettiest Eyes - The Beautiful South.

You Can't Take That Away From Me - sung by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

Lyrics for the uninitiated:

Years from now, I want you years from now
And I hold you years from now as I love you tonight
You are my one true friend, always my one true friend
And I love you till life's end as I love you tonight

I know this world that we live in can be hard
Now and then and it will be again
Many times weve been down
Still love has kept us together the flame never dies
When I look in your eyes the future I see

Wanting you years from now
And holding you years from now
And loving you years from now
As I love you tonight

I know this world that we live in can be hard
Now and then and it will be again
Many times weve been down
Still love has kept us together the flame never dies
When I look in your eyes the future I see

Wanting you years from now
And holding you years from now
And loving you years from now
As I love you tonight

Oh yikes - have Doctor Hook killed it?

Rofl at David Essex, Sea! (I could have been there in that audience, went to see him loads of times, was utterly besotted) .

I love you Porgy from "Porgy and Bess" sung by Nina Simone.Her voice sends shivers up my spine.Fab.

Recent songs,would second Snow Patrol "chasing cars"

Sorry for terrible punctuation and spelling and grammar.Am a bottle of wine down after particularly bad day.

I love this one...www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK4peuAODtc
Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand]] although this is only part of the song.

David Essex.. ahhh memories. Still have my scrap book with newspaper and Jackie cuttings. And my treasured signed ticket

Oh God Hester - me too! Two scrapbooks somewhere in my mother's attic. They are so cringeworthy. Must say I'm a bit dismayed by my own reaction to the fact that he's grey and balding now .

And do you know what?

He's a grandad now - and I still would.

Hold Me Close is my favourite
