Ok... so this is the place to share your favorite song lyrics. I've found that the more profound and touching the lyrics are, the more I can listen to the music over and over again, and never tire of it.  Here is my first offering: Not That Different by Colin Raye. The lyrics make me want to cry each time because they are so profound and lovely!   Who's next? ~Shaliza  |

I love clever lyrics, I think I tend to pick the more unusual types of songs for that... like Tom Lehrer or Weird Al, parodies and things that will make me laugh.
However if you want a love song to make you cry with happiness, look up Austen by Blake Shelton.

^ Oooh... thanks for the song rec. I listened to Austin, and I LOVED it. Here's another one... I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack. One of my favorite tunes with inspiring and heartfelt lyrics to match.  This song is just made for empowering the female psyche, I think. Awesome!  ~Shaliza  |

Glad you liked it, LouiseX!  Here's another of my favorite songs with really beautiful lyrics.  It's performed by Kenny Loggins, and is titled "For The First Time." Hope you all enjoyed. Please feel free to post videos of your own favorite song lyrics.  ~Shaliza  |

^ Nice! You Raise Me Up is one of my favorite songs. I love the versions by Josh Groban and Il Divo too. Here's my next offering. It's called Simple Things featuring the piano music of Jim Brickman and vocals by Rebecca Lynn Howard. I love the concept of simple things making life worthwhile. Enjoy! This song is the ultimate mood booster.  ~Shaliza |

This is my new favorite song. "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. It gives me strength with my muscle disease.  I think you might find it inspirational as well. |

^ Aww... that's a great song for anyone who needs a positive boost in life. I'm glad that it's your new anthem as it were. Nice! I also like Brave by Sara Bareilles because it's very inspirational. I like singing along to it when I'm in the car too.  Feel free to check out Sara's thread in Songbird's Cafe, if you're a fan of her music. So here's my next offering: Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. This is definitely one of my ultimate feel good songs, and I just love the heartfelt lyrics. ~Shaliza |

Great songs!
I've been trying to think of another one and though I don't like this as a theme tune, I do love the song and this particular rendition of it

^ Nice one! That song was one of the few redeeming aspects of Enterprise. Here's my next offering: Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams. The melody is just delightful, and the lyrics are heartfelt and sincere. Enjoy! ~Shaliza |

LOL I completely agree about Enterprise.
Beautiful song.
I mentioned in another thread that I like funny songs, so here's an example that I think has a great message too... plus it suits me very well

^ Nice one! Being a total nerd myself, I can totally relate, LOL.  Here's another song that is bittersweet, but is an awesome tribute to dads all across the globe. I just love the lyrics and beautiful melody of Dance With My Father by Luthor Vandross. ~Shaliza |

Oh that's an incredible song, but I always find it heartbreaking. There's several versions and it's played on the radio a lot, or it seems to be.
I'm going for clever words with this one, and funny, and a lot of truth in there too...

^ Nice one! Truer words were never spoken or sung, methinks. Here's another of my favorites, this time from the late Whitney Houston. "Try It On My Own" is a very empowering song for anyone, but especially women, I think. Hope you all enjoy! ~Shaliza  |

I think you might find it inspirational as well.
