Lyric that will give a song away.

ohnonotgmail

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

Rubberlegs

Give me a whisper and give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye

Heighway61

I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better lookin' each day

fricatus

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead...

DeBurca

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door

Immortal Starlight

No flag or uniform ever stopped a bullet from a gun

RobMc59

I'm gonna tell you how its gonna be

The Princess Bride

I saw the lamp light from your window, didn't think you were home, sitting there, all alone.
So I came up to your room to ask you why.
Why did you hurt me so, why did you have to go, away?

The Princess Bride

Reaching out to meet the changes, touching every shining star.
The light of tomorrow, is right where we are, there's no turning back, from what I'm feeling.

Heighway61

I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she's a big success, I want to meet her again

Ipso

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Deja Boo

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no no....

RobMc59

Is your heart filled with pain,shall I come back again?

mzungu

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "baby, can't you see
I want to be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

storker

Rumour spreadin' 'round
In that Texas town
About that shack...

Immortal Starlight

Roses are red love
Violets are blue
Angels in heaven
Know I love you

actually i think we both might be right. this site gives the lyrics from an earlier recording and they match yours. The Burl Ives recording uses the lyrics i posted. the dangers of posting lyrics from old folk where the lyrics are not fixed in stone.

Yeah loads of different people have recorded it and some of them change the lyrics alright. I love the scene in Stir Crazy when Gene Wilders cellmate sings it too. One of my favourite films and a gorgeous song.

The Princess Bride

Everywhere I go, everywhere I see.
Black and blue uniforms, police and priests.

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him 
She couldn't have made a worse move

fricatus

Since I've come home, well my body's been a mess...

RobMc59

Oh I,
I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room

"I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right..."

mzungu

I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside

Deja Boo

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you...

pretend

Immortal Starlight

Savin nickels savin dimes
Workin til the sun don't shine

TuringBot47

I'm taking a walk in the woods
And it's nice outside
Smells of shit

Capt'n Midnight

'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

Capt'n Midnight

As I sat lookin' up the Guinness ad I could never figure out
How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.

Mozambique and Mugabe
Still got Frelimo I hear them say
But exchange means
Recession means

For the day that is in it:

How does it feel
To treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are?

ohnonotgmail

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtains

The last time I saw George alive
Was in the summer of 75
He said he was in love
I said I'm pleased

Heighway61

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run

RobMc59

You picked a fine time to leave me

Don't take your love to town!

Just like the white winged Dove sings a song sounds like she's singing

RobMc59

The tune McDougal always used to hum
While he was fightin' his rival clan McGregor

The Princess Bride

Is your breath fresh?
Have you spinach on your teeth?
Is your deodorant strong enough?

The Princess Bride

We are young.
Heartache to heartache, we stand.
