Five love songs for February 18, 2014 I’ve really enjoyed the songs posted by fellow FRs these past few days, so on the First Monday of Lent, if you’re still game, I give you 5 more love songs, and ask you to give me some of yours in return, (please include a link to a performance of the song if it exists, and if you’re inclined, the name of the composer. If you're really moved, like beaversmom, include the lyrics :-)). 1. La La Means I Love You---The Delfonics (Try singing it like Nick Cage did) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_LORPebWG0 2. Nature Boy—Nat King Cole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0XJCJ1Srw (written by Eden Ahbez, one of the strangest songwriters of the pre-Hippie era. He was a beatnik poet, a proto-Hippie with long hair 3. The Secret Garden---Quincy Jones (Written by Rod Temperton) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjLjMSut_JU 4. Hello---Lionel Richie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ILDFp5DGA (If you’ve never seen the youtube of this, here’s your chance). 5. When You Love Someone---Sammy Kershaw (My all time favorite written by Keith Stegall) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoQgI-z7kzU
Let’s try again. That’s better. Don’t know why that happens.
Almost every song Nat King Cole sang was a love song. He died young @ 45. Nick Cage singing La La Means I Love You is a classic, and I’ve posted it here. Quincy Jones is a national treasure. This piece features Michael Jackson and Barry White—just beautiful. Hello by Lionel Richie is a lovely tune, then when you watch his video of it, you get chills. Last is When You Love Someone by Sammy Kershaw. I never get tired of this song.

Hello :)
Sting - Fields Of Gold
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLVq0IAzh1A&;
“Fields Of Gold”
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in fields of gold
We’ll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Love Nat King Cole. One of the best voices ever!
Alice Cooper...You and Me (good love song for us oldies, but goodies)

Especially For You - The Smithereens
Sunrise - The Who
The Mayor of Simpleton - XTC
Maybe I’m Amazed - Paul McCartney

Does this mean we have to wait a year to play them ?
Explain the significance of the date. I feel stupid. What will happen then?
Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait (Live at Red Rocks)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGKfrgqWcv0
“I Will Wait”
Well, I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of darkness
Which we’ve known
Will blow away with this new sun
But I’ll kneel down,
Wait for now
And I’ll kneel down,
Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So break my step
And relent
Well, you forgave and I won’t forget
Know what we’ve seen
And him with less
Now in some way shake the excess
‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Now I’ll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies
And I’ll kneel down,
Wait for now
I’ll kneel down,
Know my ground
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Feel my heart slow
‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

I know you asked for 5 songs...but if I go any further, I’ll get all mushy. :)
I’m speechless. Haha. I love the Yoopers, but you’ve taken “the five best love songs” to the crapper... lol
Haha...Maybe the Administrator will kindly correct the error. Hey, what can I say, it’s early in the morning. We should all still be in bed.
Beautiful song. I love his, “I Burn for You”. You’re getting into this a little it seems? :-) I like it!
LOL :) I think I've been a romantic since I was little. Thanks for starting these threads. So much fun. :)
That’s a sleeper and a keeper.
Well, as soon as I get a supermodel girlfriend, I’ll stay in bed.
