Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That’s what friends are for. For good times and bad times I’ll be on your side forever more That’s what friends are for… (Particularly poignant when played at a wake.) ---

Another Song that had a deep meaning to it was “Without You” in RENT(2005 mo Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows. Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you. The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you. ---

> [@Rubixcube](#): > > Time by Pink Floyd I was thinking about posting something from Time, although I would have chosen different lines from the same song. They’re all about the same thing, really. However, even before I saw your post I had decided against posting anything from Time because they aren’t my favourite lyrics, they are my most hated lyrics. They are Great and Terrible lyrics, in the Tolkein sense. ---

Painted Smile — Moody Blues I can sing, I can dance Just give me a chance to do my turn for you There’s a chance I’ll slip but with stiff upper lip I’ll sing my song for you Laughter is free but it’s so hard to be A jester all the time, no one’s believing I’m the same when I’m bleeding And I hurt all the time deep inside … Very appropriate for me right now. ---

Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead) _Stella Blue_ All the years combine They melt into a dream A broken angel sings from a guitar In the end there’s just a song Comes crying like the wind Through all the broken dreams and vanished years Johnny Flynn _Einstein’s Idea_ The suns and the moons and the galaxies far Were cast from his bow before they were stars Oh and the gap in-between them is nothing to us Our eyes cut the distance as loving eyes must From me unto you son from dust unto dust Johnny Flynn _The Wrote and the Writ_ The letters that you left behind No longer shall I read Your blood’s between the pages And I can’t stand to see you bleed ---

\*I woke today… And felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you’d been layin’. You were gone… My heart was filled with dread. You might not be sleepin’ here again [Chorus:] It’s alright, 'cause I love you. And that’s not gonna change. Run me round, make me hurt again and again. But I’ll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name. And brave the storm to come, For it surely looks like rain.\* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZcsS6kLHFg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZcsS6kLHFg) Shannon… i miss you! fuck rain! ---

Steve Earle “Billy Austin” …So when the preacher comes to get me and they shave off all my hair could you take that long walk with me knowing hell was waiting there?
