thanks a lot guys!!

How 'bout Joe Diffie and Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “Not Too Much to Ask”? Here’s part of the chorus:

Now I can only dream
Of being all you need.
And I can only try
To be the reason why
You think about today
And forget about the past.
It’s too much to expect,
But it’s not too much to ask.

thanks for the sugestion!

keep em comming

The Kinks ‘Something Better Beginning’

Ooh, ooh! Garth Brooks’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “To Make You Feel My Love.” (Or Dylan’s version, I guess.) Technically, it, like “Not Too Much to Ask,” is a country song, but only nominally. Try it, you’ll like it. (Hey, Mikey!)

I always liked Brian McKnight’s, The Only One For Me.

I especially like this line,

Fearless Heart by Steve Earle. The chorus:

“I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It’s been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more”

Take A Chance On Me by the immortal ABBA - she’ll be like putty in your hands my friend. It is an elixir that no woman can resist, especially when you sing along and valiantly attempt to hit all of the high notes.

“YOu can’t always get what you want.” - Stones.

It’s brilliant on so many levels.

“When you see a chance” by Steve Winwood

"Behind That Locked Door" George Harrison, from ‘All Things Must Pass’.

I think the song title is something like “Anthything for your love” or “I would do anything for your love” by Eric Clapton…

“Believe it or Not” by the Grateful Dead…

and if she still won’t budge…“Tired of Waiting” by the Kinks

How about Spanky and Our Gang’s “I’d Like To Get To Know You”?

how long - dire straits

How about Don Henley’s The Last Worthless Evening

There’s also a song by Carly Simon called Anticipation

or something like that. It was, at one time, the Heinz Ketchup song (I think it was Heinz)
Anyway, good luck…

After Hours covered by the Velvet Underground

“Help Me” (I think I’m I’m falling in love) by Joni Mitchell.

“Two Hearts Beat as One” by U2

“So you think you’re in Love” by Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians

“So you think you’re in love,
Yes, you probably are.
But you want to be straight about it,
Oh, you want to be straight about it now.
<snip>
Are you sure that it’s wise?
No, you probably ain’t.
You don’t want to be faint about it,
You don’t want to be faint about it now.”

“Taking A Chance On Love” by Ella Fitzgerald. Definitely.
