Here's one a screener asked me to change, thought it was profane-


I have to say, my favorite days
most always start like crap

Then I start to open
to what falls in my lap

I would have complimented you on the freshness of the rhyme, heh. ;)

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
-Cash


It's rainin' but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Musta been a tear from your eye
Everything'll be okay
Funny thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Musta been you sighin' so deep
Don't worry we're gonna find a way
-The Boss

wow moj, there are so many

Many times when I am all alone, I sing this one. Just sounds good with just the acoustic

In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' mind

I might as well just try.......

"Terminally pretty"... love that...

Ok, I always thought the words were "terminally gray", which sort of fit the song too...

Van Morrison has a few good lines ...
"Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do"

Steve ;)
