Say Things I Might Regret

It took me a while to settle on a song choice for today's Song Lyric Sunday. Of course, I could have opted for the Frank Sinatra classic, but in an effort to feature something a little different, I ended up gravitating towards an album I have owed for over thirty years. It is one of …

Picture The Moon Glow That Dazzles My Eyes

Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme has given me chance to reminisce over a band who provided me with many enjoyable evenings, relaxing with a glass of Chardonnay and contemplating the wonders of life. There was a time (I think back in the nineties) when I used to adore The Lightning Seeds. Their song "Perfect" is …

Show Me My Silver Lining

When I first saw the theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday I could not help but think of a song that my nephew plays regularly. It is a track I have grown to enjoy myself. But it was a blogging friend of ours that brought this tune to this house. So I was convinced she …

Brushes Her Long Blonde Hair

As soon as I saw Jim's theme for Song Lyric Sunday, I knew the song I wanted to feature. My terribly romantic husband has been singing these words to me for weeks, cheering me up after sad events at the start of this year. Nothing is quite as wonderful as somebody you have been married …

It’s Gonna Take A Superman To Sweep Me Off My Feet

Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme includes feet, and oddly, I have discovered just how many of my favourite songs surprisingly mention the word "feet". I picked one that picks me up and energizes me. Of course the truth is that Robert alone was able to sweep me off my feet - and in real life …

Old Worn Out Suit And Shoes

I am looking forward to discovering the song choices for today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. I have opted for "suit" from the selection of words Jim gave us. I immediately thought of a song that I first heard covered by Dean Martin (but originally by Roger Miller). Roger Miller write a humourous song about a …

In My Life There’s Been Heartache And Pain

Well, I am not going to shy away from embracing today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. There are so many very emotional songs out there, and the one I have picked churns deeply. Who has not heard these lyrics and felt moved by the desperate cry out tot he universe they contain? The chart topping "I …

Blue Jeans Sitting On The Beach

A much more cheery theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday. We have started to feel a little more confident about the idea of venturing overseas for some sunshine. Robert and I first met when we were holidaying in the same resort, and ever since then trips abroad have been part of our adventure together. I …

Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor

I have to admit, I am so completely horrified and appalled by the events of this year so far, I found it very difficult to search for songs referencing the words in today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. I found a song that mentioned "soldier", apparently a play on famous nursery rhymes, although I am always …

One Of My Father’s Favourite Songs

This week's Song Lyric Sunday presented us with the task of choosing from an extraordinary catalogue of songs, which were produced by Clive Davis, or signed to one of the labels he is associated with. I glanced through dozens of hit songs, and came across one that I almost featured a couple of weeks ago …
