Your Singleness Theme Song

[ummidrinkcherrycoke]

Mine is by the great Jeff Healy and I think it's called how long

How long can a man be strong
how long must he carry on
without the love of a woman to call his own
How long can a man be strong

Its on every mans mind
to find that special girl
some of them get lucky
But I'm alone in this world
but I know shes out there somewhere
so I'm gonna keep on trying
some day I'm gonna find her
its just a matter of time

as long as I've been waiting
I know shes been waiting too
hold on a little longer baby
I'm on my way to you.

 

[stonetoflesh]

My singleness theme song would probably have to be "Waiting on an Angel" by Ben Harper:

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone

Now angel won’t you come by me
Angel hear my plea
Take my hand lift me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee

And I’m waiting on an angel
And I know it won’t be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel’s arms
In my angel’s arms

So speak kind to a stranger
Cause you’ll never know
It just might be an angel come
Knockin’ at your door
Knockin’ at your door

And I’m waiting on an angel
And I know it won’t be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel’s arms
In my angel’s arms

Waiting on an angel
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone
Don’t want to go
I don’t want to go alone

 

[joeman1]

mine is "I'm Yours" by Toby Mac. It isn't really about a realtionship but it declares I am a Child Of God.

 

[kelco]

Mine would be Desperado by the Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow


Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

 

[72_Chev_Truck]

Im gonna get Pwned by the word editor for this one

Its Been Awhile by Staind

It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
Since I first saw you
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
Since I could call you
But everything I can't
remember as f'ed up as it
all may seem the consequences
that I've rendered I've stretched
myself beyond my means

It's been awhile
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
Subce I could say I love myself as well
Since I've gone and f'ed things
up just like I always do
But all that shiz seems to
disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember
as f'ed up as it may seem
The consequences that I've rendered,
I've gone and f'ed things up again.
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away,
Just one more peaceful day

It's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
Since I said I'm sorry
Since I've seen the way
the candle lights your face
But I can still remember
just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as
f'ed up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me I cannot blame this on my
father he did the best he could for me

It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been awhile since I said
I'm sorry

 

[promise]

During my singleness I have felt and thought everything in this song because my heart has been through so much and torn apart, but now that I have found God I live and hope for the last sentence in this song.



THE ROSE (Bette Midler)

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

 

[Xen_Antares]

I dont know if its been mentioned, but mine would be somewhere out there from that cartoon. You know the one with the Jewish Mouse from Russia that was so cute it made me sick to the stomach, I think his name was Fido or something. Anyway here are the lyrics.

Somewhere Out There


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

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...

 

[Tenorvoice]

His name was Fival (sp)

Conway Twitty did a Much better job on this song than Bette did (JMO)

 

[promise]

Well maybe Conway Twitty did do a better version of the song, unfortunately I have never heard it, probably not my genre of music. What's important to me are the words, not the arrangement.

 

[rainbowprism]

Lol, I don't know why but someone saying "The Jewish mouse from Russia" really cracked me up. Whew! I needed that.

 

[theFijian]

I'm a big Jeff Buckley fan and his song Last Goodbye really spoke to a few years ago:

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go :
you gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace,
must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please,
Kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know,
it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"maybe... you didn't know him at all."

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

 

[white dove]

i think
since i like movie soundtracks
i've thought of the idea
of having a "theme song"
for ur singleness

mine would be
Kansas'
"carry on my wayward son"
but not for any
real deep reason
if i'm thinking about
dating a gal
that song comes into my head
kinda wierd, huh

so what about u?

sorry..couldn't resist...actually ,that's quite a kickin' song

however, I'd say that my single 'theme ' song would be (I believe it is called) "Someday" by La Rue

very appropo for me

I'm not sure if that's what it's called or not b/c I don't have the cd; in fact, I can't even listen to it anymore, as it makes me kinda misty-eyed and gets me feelin' sappy...no wait...my love for old b&w films makes me sappy...boops!

 

[fashionably_lonely]

Seasick, Yet Still Docked--Morrissey

 

[fashionably_lonely]

Oh and "The Proposal" by Calibretto 13.. for that special woman

 

[Living4Him03]

El tiempo de vas is good, it's a romantic spanish song...but it's not really a singleness song, it's just a song that you think of when you are single and daydreaming in spanish class that you'll go to spain and meet a Spanish hunk Ah the days of high school singleness ...

I will try to find that song. I haven't heard it in years. It was great...it has a waltz "tune" or whatever you call it.

 

[Living4Him03]

I found it! This is such a romantic song...just don't ask me to translate lol. It's been awhile since I spoke a lot of Spanish


Tiempo de vals es el tiempo atrás
donde hace lo de siempre es volver a empezar
donde el mundo se para y te observa girar
es tiempo de amar.

Tiempo de vals tiempo para sentir
y decir sin hablar y escuchar sin oir
un silencio que rompe en el aire un violín
es tiempo de vivir.

Besame en tiempo de vals
un dos tres un dos tres
sin parar para bailar
haz que este tiempo de vals
un dos tres un dos tres
no termine jamás.

Tiempo de vals tiempo para viajar
por encima del sol por debajo del mar
sin saber se te llevo o me djo llevar
no es tiempo de verdad.

Tiempo de vals tiempo para abrazar
la pasión que prefieres y hacerla girar
y elevarse violenta como un huracán
es tiempo en espiral.

Besame en tiempo de vals....

Tiempo de vals que empleamos los dos
dibujando en el suelo de un viejo salón
con tres pasos de baile una historia de amor
es tiempo y es en fin
mi tiempo para ti.

 

[DixieBelle]

There's two songs that come to mind:

Someone Else's Star...Bryan White

Alone again tonight without someone to love
The stars are shining bright, so one more wish goes up
Oh I wish I may and I wish with all my might
For the love I'm dreaming of and missing in my life

You'd think that I could find someone of my own
It happens all the time to people that I know
Their wishes all come true, so I've got to believe
There's still someone out there who is meant for only me

(chorus) I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star
Seems like someone else keeps getting what I'm wishing for
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are?
I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star

I sit here in the dark and stare up at the sky
But I can't give my heart one good reason why
Everywhere I look there's lovers that i see
Seems like everyone's in love, everyone but me

Someday...Vince Gill

I wipe the tears away
As I give up this day
Wondering if I'll ever find someone
And I when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
"Someday love will come"

I won't have a doubt
My head up in the clouds
And certain as the morning sun
I will always believe
There's somebody just for me
Someday love will come

Someday, after all the nights of waiting
Someday, I'll find the chance worth taking
Saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home...Someday

 

[peaceblossom]

I'm sorry to say that I think my theme may turn into "Crazy" by Patsy Cline.
Time will tell.

 

[kwimmer]

u2 - "Wild Honey"

In the days when we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste, I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

You could go there if you please, wild honey
And if you go there, go with me, wild honey

Did I know you, did I know you even then
Before the clocks kept time, before the world was made
From the cruel sun you were my shelter
You were my shelter and my shade

If you go there go with me, wild honey
You can do just what you please, wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze, wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

I'm still standing, I'm still standing where you left me
Are you still growing wild with everthing tame around you
I send you flowers, cut flowers for your hall
I know you're garden's full but is there sweetness at all

Oh oh oh, love me with your soul

If you go there go with me, wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please, wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees, wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
