Yeah, maybe it's corny. But there are some songs whose lyrics you just can't forget. So post your favorite lyrics here and why you just love them!
When I can't sleep or I'm feeling down, this song is my lullaby. It makes me feel so safe, I wish I had someone who would really sing the song just for me. So here are my uberfavorite lyrics:
You'll Be Safe Here
Rivermaya/soundtrack to the TV series "Spirits"
Nobody knows just why we're here
Could it be fate or random circumstance
At the right place at the right time two roads intertwine
And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives, to make us fuel and fire
Then know wherever you may be, so too shall I be...
Chorus:
Close your eyes, dry your tears
Cause when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight of your doubts and fears
Weary heart, you'll be safe here
Remember how we laughed until we cried
At the most stupid things like we were so high
But love was all that we were on, we belong
And though this world could never understand
This unlikely union and why it still stands
Someday we will be set free, pray and believe
Chorus 2:
When the light disappears and when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
Oh...
Save your eyes from your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here
From the sheer weight of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart...
When the light disappears and when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here
In my arms through the long cold night sleep tight
You'll be safe here
When no one understands I'll believe
You'll be safe, you'll be safe, you'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here...

mines from the band SPLENDER. time comes when both ways of reasoning just begun collapsing and falls to pieces..and theres nothing more i can do to change whatever it is that happened or it's pointless to just know why things fall the way they are..hmmh..i think God can explain.
"there's alot of things i understand,and there's alot of things,that i dont wanna know,but you're the only face
i recognize,it's so damn sweet of you,to look me in the eyes,it's alright im ok,i think god can explain" I Think God Can Explain

There are a lot of song lyrics that I like, but I keep coming back to "Both Hands" by Ani DiFranco. I don't know what it is about those lyrics that I like, but they make me feel happy no matter what.
"Both Hands"
I am walking, out in the rain
and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and I am getting nowhere with you
and I can't let it go and I can't get through...
the old woman behind the pink curtains
and the closed door on the first floor
she's listening through the air shaft to see how long our swan song can last
and both hands, now use both hands
oh, no don't close your eyes
I am writing graffitti on your body
I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
I am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life, and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe and your flesh has been my pillow
I am waiting for sleep to offer up the deep with both hands
in eachother's shadows we grew less and less tall
and eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
and I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all

one of my favourite songs are wait for you by elliot yamin. i love its tune and i'm a sucker for (sad) love songs and ballads!
Wait For You lyrics by Elliott Yamin.
I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone
Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?
So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
[ Wait For You lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Don’t leave me crying
Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be
Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do
Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

Two songs that I love the lyrics to are "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys and "This Is Love" by Kelly Rowland. They are both such beautiful songs that bring out some wonderful emotions.

My all time favorite is a classic from lionel richie "The Only One"
Let me tell you now
All thats on my mind.
For a love like yours.
Is oh, so very hard to find.
Ive looked inside myself.
Now Im very sure.
There can only be, you for me.
I need you more and more....
(chorus)
You, turned me inside out and you showed me.
What life was about.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.
I wanna do all I can, just to show you.
Make you understand.
Only you, the only one that stole my heart away.

This is my Favorite song; The Potter's Hand
I like the lyrics of this song.
Beautiful Lord, Wonderful savior
I know for sure all of my days are held in your hands
Crafted into your perfect plans
You gently called me into your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life
Through your eyes
I’m captured by your holy calling
Set me apart. I know you’re drawing me to yourself
lead me, Lord. I pray
Oh Take me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the potter’s hand
Oh Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the potter’s hand
You gently call me into your presence
Guiding me by your holy spirit
Teach me dear lord to live all of my life through your eyes
I’m captured by your holy calling
Set me apart. I know you’re drawing me to yourself
lead me, Lord. I pray
Oh Take me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the potter’s hand
Oh Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the potter’s hand
