"Lying beside you here in the dark, feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere, how could our love be so blind?

So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say.
So here I am with open arms, hoping you'll see what your love means to me-
Open arms."
Journey - Open Arms

I feel so bubbly inside. I have some more lyrics my boyfriend sent me... =) Sure, Journey is so pop. I still love Steve Perry's smooth as silk tenor.

"I'd like to love you, with all of my heart
You've had me on your trip, right from the start
And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah...

I'd like to hold you, if you want me to
I've found something new girl, just by looking at you
And it's in your smile, and it's in the way
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah...

I meet so many people, I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you, when you said hello...
I'd like to love you, and together we'd find
The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind
There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why
I knew I'd want you, oh yeah, oh yeah..."
The Byrds - I Knew I'd Want You

These lyrics are sweet too. The Byrds are horribly underrated and are probably only known for like two songs (Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn Turn Turn obviously). Their jingle jangly Rickenbacker harmony filled songwriting extends to many of their slower songs, one of my particular favorites is John Riley, which is also very lyrically clever, although they didn't write it, but it really showcases their amazing cohesive harmonies.

This is, not to mention, my boyfriend's fantastic taste in classic rock and indie, haha. Oh yeah and awesome 90s music that he's getting me back into. This is what you get when you get two people who really really love music together. Alright one last before another hopefully more philosophical (or not!) entry.

"You're the best friend that I ever had,
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true, I really love you

You're my best friend, you make me live
I've been wandering round, but I still come back to you
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home, you're my best friend

You make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me, I got you to help me forgive
You make me live now honey, you make me live."
Queen - You're My Best Friend

Yeah, Queen! *rocks hard*
