Romantic Oldies

[Cowgirl]

I'm making a music collection of popular songs, that were romantic oldies and the only ones I can come up with righ now are songs like ........My Funny Valentine, This Guys In Love With You, On the Street Where You live, Moon River, Younger Than Springtime, other than those my mind is drawing a blank, if any of you can come up with alot more I would gladly appreciate it and the category is "Romantic Oldies"

Cowgirl

[WhiteDove]

I can't get out of bed anymore by Whitedove. Ok maybe it is not romantic but I'm old does that count?

I wanna rock and roll all night comes to mind by KISS

Ok seriously check out the Great American Songbook Collection by Rod Stewart there is a bunch ofthe oldies on those. My favorite The Way You look Tonight.

[Cowgirl]

WhiteDove....................No no no no no no no, those are too recent, I want them like the ones I mentioned, you know those good old romantic mellow tunes that leave just leave you with a big happy sigh, they make your knees weak and turn you all mushy on the inside.

Cowgirl

[bowtwi]

Come Rain or Come Shine is a favorite of mine.

[WhiteDove]

What I meant was you could look up the titles and get the origionals if you don't like Rod's version most of those were old songs from the 30,40,50s

[Sudo]

Cowgirl,

Click HERE! and give this song a listen. Maybe it doesn't sound so romantic just off but give it a chance. I am constantly bowled away by its romanticism. Hear the line "someday my name and hers are going to be the same"? Where do you hear any modern day popular songs talking about a guy wanting to marry the girl?

I've got more but this one is way up there in my book for romantic songs of the 60's.

How about "You Send Me" and "Bring It On Home to Me" by Sam Cooke? And of course there's always Elvis singing "Can't Help Falling in Love," (Jesse Collin Young's version is my favorite, but it might be too new for you) and "Always on My Mind."

"Fool Rush In" by Sinatra is on my list too.

those are great ex10

Sinatra, and also from the movie "Once Around"

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

Let me see what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words hold my hand

In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song

And let me sing forevermore

You are all I hope for

All I worship and adore

In other words please be true

In other words I love you

--

Dylan, and also from the movie "Hope Floats"

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear

And there's is no one to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

There ain't nothing' that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothin' like me yet

There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you

Make you happy make your dreams come true

To make you feel my love

John Denver and Placido Dimingo

Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a resting place

A shelter from the storm

It exists to give you comfort

It is there to keep you warm

And in those times of trouble

When you are most alone

The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window

Perhaps an open door

It invites you to come closer ( you wrote close)

It wants to show you more

And even if you lose yourself

And don`t know what to do

The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud

To some as strong as steel

For some a way of living

For some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

And some say they don`t know

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain (you wrote - change)

Like a fire when it`s cold outside

Or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

another John Denver

Annie's Song

You fill up my senses

Like a night in the forest

Like a mountain in springtime

Like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert

Like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses

Come fill me again

Come let me love you

t me give my life to you

Let me drown in your laughter

Let me die in your arms

Let me lay down beside you

Let me always be with you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

Interlude

Let me always be with you

Come let me love you

Come love me again

You fill up my senses

Like a night in the forest

Like a mountain in springtime

Like a walk in the rain

Like a storm in the desert

Like a sleepy blue ocean

You fill up my senses

Come fill me again

i'm not a romantic

one of my favorites of all time

We're All Alone -- Boz Scaggs

later Rita Coolidge

Outside the rain begins and it may never end

So cry no more, on the shore of dreams

Will take us out to sea

Forever more, forever more

Close your eyes and dream and you can be with me

'Neath the waves through the caves of ours

Long forgotten now

We're all alone, we're all alone

Close the window, calm the light

And it will be all right

No need to bother now

Let it out. let it all begin

Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told it can't help but grow old

Roses do, lovers too, so cast your seasons to the wind

And hold me dear, oh hold me dear

All's forgotten now

We're all alone, we're all alone

Throw it to the wind, my love

Hold me dear

All's forgotten now, my love

We're all alone

[Sudo]

Here's one that really affects me as well.. A woman wondering where her true love is.. Gawd what a voice she has. The voice dynamics reminds me a little of Julie Andrews. The video is a little dark but does anyone recognize her?? I'm telling you Cowgirl.. this almost brings tears to my eyes she's so good!

Elusive Butterfly

Bob Lind

You might wake up some mornin'

To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind

And if you're quick enough to rise

You'll catch a fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow

Out on the new horizon

You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings

And if the sleep has left your ears

You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you

It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of

Across my dreams with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps

Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind

I might have even called your name

As I ran searching after something to believe in

You might have seen me runnin'

Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind

If you remember something there

That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin'

Don't be concerned, it will not harm you

It's only me pursuing somethin' I'm not sure of

Across my dreams with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Across my dreams with nets of wonder

I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

[pawtucket]

Isn't that song from the Music Man?

[excathedra]

thank you sudo

making me cry

i don't know who she is

but it's from the music man ?

[excathedra]

she is an angel

[excathedra]

here's another favorite of mine

Somewhere out there,

beneath the pale moonlight,

someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,

someone's saying a prayer,

that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,

it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Somewhere out there,

if love can see us through,

then we'll be together, somewhere out there,

out where dreams come true.

okay maybe i should stop

i coudl be on here all night

have you ever heard of keith whitley

"don't close your eyes"

"i wonder do you think of me"

he passed away but i loved him

--

might look dorky but just listen to it

phil collins

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do

Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue

When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat

I can hear you breathing in my ear...

Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me,

we've got a groovy kind of love...

Anytime you want to, you can turn me on to

Anything you want to, anytime at all.

When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver

--

ok after this, i'm done

Louis Armstrong

All of me

Why not take all of me

Can't you see

I'm no good without you

Take my lips

I want to lose them

Take my arms

I'll never use them

Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry

How can I go on dear, without you

You took the part that once was my heart

So why not take all of me

[Cowgirl]

WOW!!!

These are all fantastic especially the ones that were done in the 50's and 60's, the newer ones are great but I'm especially looking for the oldies right now.

Sudo, what a great voice and great song, who is the lady and what is the movie? I have a favor to ask of you, in your repitroire of oldies would you happen to have "Jean" done by Rod McKuen, it's from the movie "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie"

Thanks everyone, for all your contributions, keep em coming!!

Cowgirl

[ex10]

I can't believe I forgot to mention, "As Time Goes By." I prefer the version from the movie Casablanca.

[socks]

Great theme, cowgirl!

"Misty" - many versions but my favorite is Johnny Mathis.

"Chances Are" - same, Mathis.

"Wonderful Wonderful" - Mathis. Okay, anything Mathis has recorded, pret' near.

2nd that on "You Send Me", Sam Cooke

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - Judy Garland, would qualify to me by virtue of 'vibe', alone.

"When I Fall in Love", Nat King Cole's version is a classic, although the Letterman's version is killah too.

"I Only Have Eyes for You" - The Flamingoes version, definitely the classic. Sinatra's version, not bad.

"As Time Goes By" - take your pick on the versions, great tune.

"Georgie On My Mind" - Ray Charles

ohmygosh i was just thinking about "jean" the other day

Jean

Jean, Jean, Roses are red,

all the leaves have gone green,

And the clouds are so low,

You can touch them and so...

Come out to the meadow, Jean.

Jean, Jean, you're young and alive,

come out of your half-dreamed dream,

And run, if you will,

to the top of the hill,

Open your arms, Bonnie Jean.

Till the sheep in the valley come home my way,

till the stars fall around me and find me alone,

When the sun comes a singin',

I'll be waitin'.

Jean, Jean, the roses are red,

All the leaves have gone green,

And the hils are ablaze...

With the moon's yellow haze,

Come into my arms, Bonnie Jean.

Till the sheep in the valley come home my way,

till the stars fall around me and find me alone,

When the sun comes a singin',

I'll be waitin'.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face--------Roberta Flack version

good ones !!!!!!!!

[Sudo]

Paw and excathedra,

Yes that was from the Music man and it was great wasn't it? The actress is Kristen Chenoweth and she has the voice of an angel. No one's ventured on my previous one (HERE!) so I'll tell you.. it is The Hollies' Bus Stop. A rock song, yes, but in my book very old time romantic.

sudoP.S. Yes, I have Jean but I'll have to post it tomorrow.
