"Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce
If I could save Time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til Eternity passes away Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you
CHORUS: But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you

"Fire And Rain" by James Taylor
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me Jesus You got to help me make a stand You just got to see me through another day My body's achin' and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time My back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows It'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line To talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things comin' my way this time around now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you Fire and rain

"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't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able. You know the queen of hearts 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 you can't get. Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger, Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home, And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine, It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day. You're losin' all your highs and lows, Ain't it funny how the feelin' 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, Let somebody love you. You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

"After The Thrill Is Gone" by The Eagles
Same dances in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose There's no telling what a man might lose After the thrill is gone
The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone oh After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned? What have you done to be losing the one You held it so tight in your hand well
Time passes and you must move on, Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of the song After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone, oh After the thrill is gone

"One" By U2
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you Now you got someone to blame
You say One love One life When it's one need In the night It's one love We get to share it It leaves you baby If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you ? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth ? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well it's too late Tonight To drag tha past out Into the light We're one But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One
Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come tor raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We hurt each other Then we do it again
You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt
One love One blood One life You got to do what you should
One life With each other Sisters Brothers
One life But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other
One

"Heat of the Night" By Bryan Adams
I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream Pull the covers up high and pray for the mornin' light
Met a man with a message from the other side Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind He said it's up to you You can run or you can fight - (ya that's right) Better leave it alone in the heat of the night
In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around They'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down In the heat of the night (Where you gonna hide when it all comes down) (Don't look back don't ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper to call the tune Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night
In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around They'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down In the heat of the night (Where you gonna hide when it all comes down) (Don't look back don't ever turn around)

"Because of You" By Kelly Clarkson
I will not make the same mistakes that you did I will not let myself Cause my heart so much misery I will not break the way you did, You fell so hard I've learned the hard way To never let it get that far
Because of you I never stray to far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid
I lose my way And it's not too long before you point it out I cannot cry Because you know that's weakness in your eyes I'm forced to fake A smile, a laugh everyday of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you I never stray to far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid
I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep I was so young You should have known better than to lean on me You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain And now I cry in the middle of the night For the same damn thing
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I tried my hardest just to forget everything Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in Because of you Im ashamed of my life because it's empty Because of you I am afraid
Because of you Because of you

I have seen U2 and Bryan Adams in concert a couple of times each, and they both are very good performers on stage. Both have a great catalog of music to draw from and both have excellent bands! "One" is one of the best songs of all-time on a universal level. If I were from Canada, I'd be real proud of Bryan Adams! It's a great song you have posted here, from an album that didn't get the credit in the USA that it deserved. I've never heard of the Kelly Clarkson song, but the lyrics are good. Thanks for posting!

"The Man Who Sold The World" By Nirvana (or David Bowie)
We passed upon the stair He spoke in was and when Although I wasn't there He said I was his friend Which came as surprise I spoke into his eyes "I thought you died alone A long long time ago"
Oh no, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched a foreign land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazeless stare At all the millions there I must have died alone A long long time ago
Who knows, not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world
Who knows, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world

Cool song. I am familiar with the Bowie version, because I used to listen to him a lot.

"Nobody's Home" by Kansas
It's empty now, no friendly face, and nothing lives within. I look around and I find no trace To tell me what has been
So far I've come to find there's no one here, no life I fear I came for nothing, they have gone And Nobody's Home.
I came to learn, perhaps to teach But I can tell somehow The world that I was sent to reach Has got no future now Across the galaxy to spread the word, and no one heard I came for nothing, I'm alone And Nobody's Home
A requiem was never sung, no elegy was read No monument was carved in stone in memory of the dead For those who made this place do not remain, they feel no pain A stranger fate was never known

"Changes" by David Bowie
I still don't know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse Of how the others must see the faker I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence and So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Where's your shame You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the stranger) Ch-ch-Changes Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older Time may change me But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time
