Norah Jones
Seven Years

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

I HOPE YOU DANCE LYRICS

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....i hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance..
(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone

John Mayer - Daughters Lyrics

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

Gosh, I was reading Oprah magazine a while ago, and she was talking about the 'dance' lyrics.. and I was absolutely moved!
Thanks for posting them, I find myself singing it around the house.

*It's funny, my daughter looks at me moon-eyed, sighs dramatically, and acts all weepy, batting her eyelshes and being a 'southern belle'. ( She needs acting lessons, she'll surely be a diva!)

I love Norah JOnes.. I particularily like 'Sunrise'.:sigh:

Oh OH, and John Mayer!!!!

Thats a great thought too!

Eric Clapton

Tears In Heaven

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven ?
Would you feel the same
if I saw you in heaven ?
I must be strong and carry on.
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven ?
I'll find my way through night and day.
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down

time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart

have you begging please.

Begging please...

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven ?
Would you feel the same
if I saw you in heaven ?
I must be strong and carry on.
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.

CREED

"With Arms Wide Open"

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

[Guitar Break]

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open

THE LIVING YEARS

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I’m a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

I wasn’t there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo
In my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

Maya, this is a great thread!! Just in time too and, since I will always be ' Daddy's Girl ' , here's one of my favorite's...

' Daddy's Little Girl',


Daddy, take me with you,
I promise I'll be good.
Daddy, this is next time,
And Mama said I could.

Sitting in the front seat riding down town,
For an ice cream come, I'd wrap him around,
My little finger tighter than my baby curls.
Hey, you can make a tear go a long, long way,
When you're Daddy's little girl.

Walking down the aisle,
With my eyes on Mr. Right.
My bouquet was shaking,
But Daddy held on tight.

Taking those last steps, Daddy and me,
From the child to the woman I'd be.
With a diamond on my finger,
And my Mama's string of pearls.
He gave me away, 'cause I couldn't stay,
Daddy's little girl.

Well he tightened my bike chain from seven to thirteen.
Taught me drive when I was a wild thing.
Preached to me "pray", while I made some mistakes,
That I wouldn't have made if I'd have done it his way.

Now he hugs me when he sees me,
We talk about the past.
He tries to give me money,
I try to give it back.
He's a book of advice, more than I need.
The love in his eyes is saying to me:

"Let me help you while I can,
"While I'm still in this world."
What'll I do when my daddy's gone,
And I'm daddy's little girl?

Hey, what'll you do when your daddy's gone?

My Name Is Jonas - Weezer

My name is jonas!
I’m carrying the wheel.
Thanks for all you’ve shown us.
But this is how we feel.

Come sit next to me, pour yourself some tea.
Just like grandma made, when we couldn’t find sleep.
Things were better then.
Once but never again.
We’ve all left the den, let me tell you ’bout it.

The choo-choo train left right on time.
A ticket cost only your mind.
The driver said ’hey man, we go all the way.’
Of course we were willing to pay!

My name is wepeel !
Got a box full of your toys.
They’re fresh out of batteries.
But you’re still making noise! making noise!
Tell me what to do,
Now the tank is dry, now this wheel is flat, and you know what else!
Guess what I received in the mail today,
Words of deep concern, for my little brother.

The building’s not going as he planned...
The foreman has injured his hand,
The dozer will not clear a path,
The driver swears he learned his math !

The workers are going home.
Workers are going home.
The workers are going home.
The workers are going home.
Yeah!

The workers are going home.
The workers are going home.
The workers are going home.
Yeah yeah yeah!

My name is jonas.

Daughter - Pearl Jam

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...

Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go, go, go...

Oh Sister - Neutral Milk Hotel

Oh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers of spit
That were supposed to be glorious and fine.

Oh sister won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
Here with you now in this silly infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls
From Germany all of the time.

Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery
And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
There in the parlor all naked in front of me
Watching the lights from the cracks
Making archery animal designs.

Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open
But don't you waste your sins again
She don't need you or won't fnck your friends
And you, you're an American,
so important boiling over

To prove that she must still exist
she moves herself about her fist
and never ever gives a sh!t
about all those words you're wasting again
Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream
you'd like to kill and clean
And claim her as your own
But don't you worry
All those dainty and dirty emotions
just go away and fade out on their own

Sister, now that we're grieving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
All over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting
Whatever comes next

And oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
That you'll have to carry home
drunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can
bury him under your sheets

And oh sister
now that you're leaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
And pretend you were breathing of all of this world

In an age of empty rings
I don't want to be your fling
I don't even want to know you
and Rose Wallace Goldeline
don't you ever die on me
all the way it goes and flows.

Staind - Zoe Jane Lyrics
Well, I want you to notice
To notice when I’m not around
And I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter

When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I’d be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone

I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter

Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane

So I wanted to say this
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
To explain to you what I've been through
To explain where your daddy has been

So I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things
I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things
That this life has in store for you
I’ll always love you
The way that a father
Should love his daughter

Sweet Zoe Jane
Sweet Zoe Jane
