The Luckiest

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
(Ben Folds op het Album 'Rocking The Suburbs')

Ik ga voor Pulp met "F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E.":

[...]
And as I'm standing across this room,
I feel as if my whole life has been leading to this one moment
And as I touch your shoulder tonight,
this room has become the centre of the entire universe
So what do I do? I've got a slightly sick feeling in my stomach,
like I'm standing on top of a very high building, oh yeah
All the stuff they tell you about in the movies,
but this isn't chocolate boxes and roses
It's dirtier than that,
like some small animal that only comes out at night
And I see flashes of the shape of your breasts,
and the curve of your belly,
and I may have to sit down and catch my breath

Oh. What is this feeling called love
Why me, why you, why here
And why now
It doesn't make no sense no
It's not convenient no
It doesn't fit my plans,
but I got that taste in my mouth again oh
F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
What is this thing that is happening to me
F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A.double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
What is this thing that is happening to me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Of misschien ga ik toch maar voor K's Choice met "A sound that only you can hear". Hmm, dat is altijd de ellende met dit soort onderwerpen, te veel mogelijke kandidaten!

[...]
I feel you and you feel me as I feel you
it's good, it's scary
The speed, the heat, it's deep, and steep
it's light but hard to carry

if the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Thank You van Led Zeppelin

'God only knows' (Beach Boys), omdat in die tekst nog iets van realisme naar voren komt.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

En voor de hopeloze verliefdheid is er dan nog Subtle Movements (16Down).

Ik weet nog een andere, maar daarvan kom ik zo gauw niet op de titel. Dus die houdt u nog te goed. In ieder geval doet 'Avond' van Boudewijn de Groot een goede poging in de afdeling Nederlandsch:

Nu hoef je nooit je jas meer aan te trekken
En te hopen dat je licht het doet
Laat buiten de stormwind nu maar razen in het donker
Want binnen is het warm en licht en goed
Hand in hand naar buiten kijken waar de regen valt
Ik zie het vuur van hoop en twijfel in je ogen
En ik ken je diepste angst

"dancing in the moonlight" van thin lizzy is ook wel aardig, een beetje pubertekst misschien, maar ook herkenbaar (toch??).
