One of my favorite female artists is the lengendary Janis Joplin..
Her voice is fantastic, and she hits home with her lyrics.. songs such as
"Maybe" "Take another piece of my heart" "One good man" the favorite of mine "Cry Cry Baby"
When she sings i can just feel her, knowing her story what she went through.. amazing singer
Here is one i really love.. hope you enjoy it, it's a very pretty song.

A beautiful Song.....
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smiling in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

Oh, Pammy...I love that song and it is one of my favorite song of hers.
I have one for you too. Whenever I feel down and lost, I listen to this song and feel so much better.
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
It's a long road when you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
oh, ohhh,Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you. -

Heard some one singing this song the other day to themselves, I ran home to listen to it. It had been a long time since I had heard it. It always made me cry.
Anyone who has ever lost anyone knows what I mean when they hear it.

LOL I meant to re-post this...any help yet ?
Ok guys and gals,
A song, an oldie and I can't find it cause I don't know the name:
"Baby's got a bird, Holly's got bird that sings.......
I found these lyrics from your post:
Got a bird wanta whistle
baby's got a bird, y'all
Honey's got a bird to sing
yeah, baby's got a bird, y'all
Honey's got a bird to sing
Without Corinna,
It sure don't mean, y'all
It sure don't mean a natural thing
I learned how to love you,
Baby, 'fore I called ya,
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Yeah, baby, 'fore I called ya
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Can't buy your love with money
Oh, baby, you're my woman
Let me be your warm heart flame
Have mercy, have mercy,
Baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my bad luck soul
Yeah, baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my bad luck soul
I got a rainbow round my shoulders
Shines like silver,
Baby, look like Klondike gold
Yeah, looks just like gold, baby
I learned how to love you,
Baby, 'fore I called ya,
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Oh, baby, 'fore I called ya
Honey, 'fore I called your name
Without Corinna,
Sure don't mean, honey
Sure don't mean a natural thing
Corinna
Oh my little Corinna
Corinna
Oh my little Corinna
Is that the one? Delbert McClinton lyrics and called Corinna.
I could be barking up the wrong tree here.

hahahah, All I had to do was read those lyrics, and the song started in my head. I think most everyone has heard that song at least once, and been stuck with it in their head. hahahaha
Thanks Kitty, I really appreciate it. Had not heard or thought of that song in years, and WOW, here it is again.

Hi Gang: Going wayyyyyy back here now. This is Classic country, by two superstars of Country Music.....Dolly Parton...Porter Wagoner....
Are there any other Classic Country fans out there?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LertAlqDFGk&feature=PlayList&p=531DE948DEA2480D&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=5
I know my friend Lips is a big time country fan, and will have fun with this song.
Lets have a sing along....hehehehe
An acre of diamonds I'd offer to you
A solid gold mansion, an airplane or two
This whole world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
Chorus
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing
The heartaches you caused me won't pay for a ring
The love that I wanted would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
Repeat chorus
But teardrops aren't pennies
And heartaches aren't gold
[Thanks to Endora Aphrattos for lyrics]

I am definitly a country fan,among with tons of other oldies I like.
How about Conway Twitty?
He is among my favorite top 10.
My 2 favorite songs will always be Bette Midlers "THE ROSE"
and "SMILE"(even so I only know this one by Harpo)THE ROSE
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 the 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 to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
SMILE
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by,
if you just smile, through your fear and sorrow
smile and maybe tomorrow,
you'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you -

I'm so stuck on a song.. listening to it 50 times a day... aaahh somebody help me..
I just think it's beautifully poetic, fantasizingly exciting.. and the melody.. undescribable...it has such an adventurous, motivating beat... i think i'm addicted to a song... some songs get stuck in my head this song is stuck in my soul...
Maybe theres someone who can feel me on this.. please enjoy!
Ciara - Keep Dancin' on Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uI_viRg9f4
Ohh yeah
Waaaahhh
Yeah
Lead me out on the floor
Bring ya body closer
Take it all, give me more, do me like ya supposed to
Move with me left and right slide your hands over mine
Using all your imagination, leave everything behind
Take my hand, lay on my face
Feel my heart tumbling
Dark corners, flashing lights, keep the music coming
I'm off the earth, on the stars
I ain't worried about tommorrow
Keep going 'till the world disappears
Keep dancing on me...
Ohh...
Uh ooh...
On me...
('Till the world)...
Keep dancing on me...
Ohh...
Uh ooh
On me...
Take the lead, raise the floor
Take a turn, pass the shadow
Taste the air, touch me there
Lean to me, nothing matters
Tell my ears truthful lies...
Honest whispers make me sigh...
Send me left...
Send me right
I'm going outta my mind
See me smile, make me want to go on and on
I'm in peace serenity, I'm where I belong
I'm off the earth, on the stars
I ain't worried about tommorrow
Keep going 'till the world disappears
Keep dancing on me...
Ohh...
Uh ooh...
On me...
('Till the world)...
Keep dancing on me...
Ohh...
Uh ooh
On me...
Hold me bay, deep inside your mind
Stay with me one more song
Until my body is melting away, away, away
Keep dancing on me...
Ohh...
Uh ooh...
On me...
('Till my body's melting away)... -

I absolutely love Sugarland
Here is one of my favorites
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H5kGvKJZZk
Keep you:
We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn't make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So run away, I'm glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.
You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

This is a cute song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xfFbB2CRo8
Giddy on up:
Baby, where've you been?
It's half past ten.
Oh, look you're late again.
Busy day, got a lot on your mind?
You should hear about mine.
A tall drink of water and a pretty little thing
were kissing on corner in the pouring rain.
Turned my head to get a better view
How in lord, help me it was you.
Didn't love me
I ain't no fool
Didn't love me
No, no, no, no.
Love, love you let me down
Making this too easy
Love, Love you let me down
Think you should be leaving
Love, love you let me down
Let me down
No you wont string me along
You better be moving on
Giddy on up
Giddy on out
Oh I ain't finished yet sit back down.
Been acting pretty strange, didn't want to talk.
Mmm, there's a pep in your walk
Smiling a lot when you look at your phone
Theres a change in your tone.
Ive been through your pockets and smelled your shirts
I don't wear bath and body works
Should've seen the signs you were sneakin around
She must be the number on the napkin i found
Didn't love me
I ain't no fool
Didn't love me
No, no, no, no.
Love, love you let me down
Making this too easy
Love, Love you let me down
Think you should be leaving
Love, love you let me down
Let me down
Ooh you wont string me along
You better be moving on
Giddy on up
Giddy on out
Oh let me tell you
I guess you could say that I was blind
I was blinded by my love
I did everything for you
And now push has come to shove
So lets call the spade to spade
Was it worth the price you paid?
Now I am done, I'm the lucky one
And you can sleep in the bed you made.
Didn't love me
I ain't no fool
Didn't love me
No, no, no, no.
Love, love you let me down
Making this too easy
Love, Love you let me down
Think you should be leaving
Love, love you let me down
Let me down
Ooh you wont string me along
Love, love you let me down
Making this too easy
Love, Love you let me down
Think you should be leaving
Love, love you let me down
Let me down
Ooh you wont string me along
You better be moving on
Giddy on up
Giddy on out

I just love gambling tunes....
Anybody got any others? PMM2008
Rambling, Gambling Willie
-Bob Dylan
Come around you rovin’ gamblers and a story I will tell
About the greatest gambler, you all should know him well
His name was Will O’Conley and he gambled all his life
He had twenty-seven children, yet he never had a wife
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
He gambled in the White House and in the railroad yards
Wherever there was people, there was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation as the gamblin’est man around
Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie came to town
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
Sailin’ down the Mississippi to a town called New Orleans
They’re still talkin’ about their card game on that Jackson River Queen
“I’ve come to win some money,” Gamblin’ Willie says
When the game finally ended up, the whole damn boat was his
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek
There was an all-night poker game, lasted about a week
Nine hundred miners had laid their money down
When Willie finally left the room, he owned the whole damn town
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
But Willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true
He supported all his children and all their mothers too
He wore no rings or fancy things, like other gamblers wore
He spread his money far and wide, to help the sick and the poor
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
When you played your cards with Willie, you never really knew
Whether he was bluffin’ or whether he was true
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his chair
The man, he left a diamond flush, Willie didn’t even have a pair
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
It was late one evenin’ during a poker game
A man lost all his money, he said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head, which was a tragic fate
When Willie’s cards fell on the floor, they were aces backed with eights
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows
So all you rovin’ gamblers, wherever you might be
The moral of the story is very plain to see
Make your money while you can, before you have to stop
For when you pull that dead man’s hand, your gamblin’ days are up
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gamblin’ now, nobody really knows -

The Gambling Song Lyrics
Cliff Richard
The wheels forever spinning
The dice are thrown and scatter
The words are all of winning
But only numbers matter
We bet on our existence
We'll last another round
The lucky go the distance
The losers go to ground
From birth to death we gamble
The lots are daily cast
No warning or preamble
Which one will be your last
There is a great comfort in pure hatred
For envy's not enough, not enough
The soothing joy of malice
Is made of sterner stuff, sterner stuff
The failure of a father
The torment of a son
Is a recipe to justify
The worst that could be done
He'll destroy us unless we call a halt
Should the bastard steal our birthright
It will be our fault
The race is won by cunning
A terrifying dance
Too complex in the running
To leave it all to chance
But chance is all we're given
So chances we must take
The gambler's stake is driven
Through hearts that dare not break
But all save one are broken
As fatal points are scored
And one surviving token
Holds sway across the board
There's a moment when the game's balance
Tilts the other way, the other way
When the odds begin to favour
Outsiders in the play, in the play
The failure of incumbents
The sleazy tricks they use
Mean that those who think they call
The tune can only lose
Deal the cards, it won't matter how they fall
Because nothing is a gamble when you want it all

My favorite song number one and will always be...
Black
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
How beautifully written... -

Here without you.. brings back so many memories of a good thing that was good, and also a good thing that is gone, that was one song that helped me to realize how precious and delicate a heart is..
pearl jam - black... that is one of the most beautiful, poetically lyrical songs i have heard, i felt that song so deeply i tasted it...
keeping faith and hope is the key to life, love is the key to success
Thank you so much for those..
