2 of my all time favs, from Elvis, although the lyrics dont fit either, but i have loved the songs for years, just something about the songs that make me think of Nic
The wonder of you.....
When no-one else can understand me When everything I do is wrong You give me hope and consolation You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand In everything I do That's the wonder The wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter You touch my hand and I'm a king Your kiss to me is worth a fortune Your love for me is everything
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why You love me like you do That's the wonder The wonder of you.
If i can dream....
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away The doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream Come true, right now Let it come true right now Oh yeah
This song is by the late, great Marc Bolan and T rex and is one of my all time favourite songs. It always makes me think of Nicky...I know some of the lyrics don't fit but I always think of Nic especially these lyrics:
''Well you're dirty and sweet Clad in black don't look back and I love you You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah''
''Well you're built like a car You've got a hub cap diamond star halo You're built like a car, oh yeah Well you're an untamed youth That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles''
T-Rex - Get it on
Well you're dirty and sweet Clad in black don't look back and I love you You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah Well you're slim and you're weak You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Well you're built like a car You've got a hub cap diamond star halo You're built like a car, oh yeah Well you're an untamed youth That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - oh
Well you're windy and wild You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings You're windy and wild, oh yeah Well you're built like a car You've got a hub cap diamond star halo You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ooh
Well you're dirty and sweet Clad in black, don't look back and I love you You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah Well you dance when you walk So let's dance, take a chance, understand me You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ow Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - ow - get it on - mh
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - a-a-a-a Get it on, bang a gong, get it on - a-a-a-a .... Take me, for a meanwhile I'm still thinking ....
How about this one from Jackson 5 or Cliff Richard, although it didnt quite remind me of Nic, but it matches the word Daddy!, Daddy's Home.....
you're my love you're my angel you're the girl of my dreams and, I'd like to thank you for waiting patiently
daddy's home you're daddy's home to stay
how I waited for this moment to be by your side (to be by your side) your best friend wrote and told me you had tear drops in your eyes
daddy's home your daddy's home to stay
it wasn't on a Sunday Monday and Tuesday went by it wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon all I could do was cry but I made a promise That you'd treasure I'd bring it back home to you
how I waited for this moment to be by your side (to be by your side) your best friend wrote and told me you had tear drops in your eyes
daddy's home your daddy's home to stay daddy's home to stay I'm not a thousand miles away daddy's home to stay and I'm gonna be here, come with me (come with me) daddy's home to stay I'm not a thousand miles away daddy's home to stay and I'm gonna be here
I heard this song today and immediately THOUGHT of Nic.....ya know...."Daddy"??? LOL!
