Lyrics of Love

How many times have you heard a song that made you feel a tingle down your spine? Being an old romantic at heart, I think Annie’s Song by John Denver is a beautiful love song. Let’s hear him in action:

We all know music, and song lyrics can evoke memories and bring out strong emotions. So it’s hardly surprising that the majority of songs that have ever been written are about - you guessed it - love.

I had a wedding a few weeks ago where the Groom - a big Bob Dylan fan - asked his best mate to read out the lyrics from The Wedding Song. It worked really well, and the Bride admitted that although she hated the song, she loved the words!

NME recently asked their Twitter followers to suggest the most beautiful lyrics about love. These are my picks from the list:

“Lonely days of uncertainty, they disappear when you’re near me, when you’re around my life’s worthwhile, and now I long to see you smile.” Big Star, My Life is Right.

“And there’s no one there to dry your tears. I could hold you for a million years. To make you feel my love.” Bob Dylan, To Make You Feel My Love.

“Can’t go on without her. There’s no song without her. It’s all wrong without her.” Harry Nilsson, Without Her.

“At last the skies above are blue. My heart was wrapped up in clover the night I looked at you.” Etta James, At Last.

“So I’m thanking you today. Because of you I am now me.” John Butler Trio, Fool For You.
