Oldie is Goldie

Love songs used to have a dreamy effect, lyrics tug at the heart strings, giving you such a lovely warm aaaaaahhhh feeling. Massaged your emotions.

One of my favourites? David Gates's If. Yeah, I'm an oldie at heart. Download or ask me for it and you'll see what I mean :)

How come people don't write songs like this anymore? Sigh...

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show, the you I've come to know
If a face can launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you, you're all that's left me too

And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving, spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you, and when the world was through
And one by one, the stars will all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
