[SassyLady]

See if you can name the song

extra points for the artist

and no cheating

:slap:

[SassyLady]

There's a waltz playin' frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet

[SassyLady]

You'll wake up and find out you're alone
Cause I'll be gone

[SassyLady]

Tides that I tried to swim against
Brought me down upon my knees

[SassyLady]

In my dreams I'm dying all the time

As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind

[SassyLady]

Watch my daddy in bed and tired,
watch his hair been turning gray

[SassyLady]

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me

[SassyLady]

Each one of these songs is special to me and reminds me of someone I love.

[Baba Booey]

It's my life - Animals

lol - I just got done saying I couldn't name one other song. No, I didn't google it, the line "watching his hair been turning grey" clicked for me.

I remember when MTV first came out they only had like a dozen videos, this was one of them and it got heavy rotation time. I was never crazy about the song.

[Gaffer]

You'll wake up and find out you're alone
Cause I'll be gone


Everly, Bros Gone Gone Gone, 1964-65


Watch my daddy in bed and tired,
watch his hair been turning gray

Animals, We gotta get outta this place 1965-66


So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me

Peter Paul and Mary, Leavin' on a jet plane 1968

I don't know the others they must be late 70's or 80's

[jimnyc]

I don't know any of them, Sassy! I suck!! LOL

How about this one:

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs

That one is easy.. AC/DC, You Shook Me All Night Long, one of my favorite of their songs.

Try this one on for size



Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.

Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
She loves you, Big River, more than me.

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

One of his best songs. In my top ten favorites of all time.--Tyr

Speaking of willows ... I have a big weeping willow by my pond. Love that tree!
