So for those who have been together a long time, what is "your" song?
Ours....Not very original, but we love it...

My Funny Valentine
By Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little bit weak
When you open it to speak, are you smart

Don't, baby don't
Don't change you hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine's
Each day is valentine's day

Stay little valentine stay, stay, stay
Each day is valentine's
Each day is valentine's day
Valentine's day

4. If you see a faded sign...
If you see a faded sign -at- the side of the road that says
15 miles to the...Love Shack! Love Shack yeayeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

3. The one thing by inxs
Well you know just what you do to me
The way you
move soft and slippery
Cut the night just like a razor
Rarely talk and
that's the danger

It's the one thing
You are my thing

You know
your voice is a love song
It's a cat call from the past
There's no ice in
your lovers walk
You don't look twice cause you move so fast

It's the
one thing
You are my thing

You've got a dozen men behind
you
You've got dead flowers on the floor
You're too pretty in the
daylight
It keeps them coming back for more

It's the one thing
You
are my thing

It's the one thing
You are my thing

It's the one
thing
You are my thing

5. Attics of My Life, Grateful Dead
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia


In the attics of my life
Full of cloudy dreams unreal
Full of tastes no tongue can know
And lights no eye can see
When there was no ear to hear
You sang to me

I have spent my life
Seeking all that's still unsung
Bent my ear to hear the tune
And closed my eyes to see
When there were no strings to play
You played to me

In the book of love's own dream
Where all the print is blood
Where all the pages are my days
And all my lights grow old
When I had no wings to fly
You flew to me

You
flew
to me

In the secret space of dreams
Where I dreaming lay amazed
When the secrets all are told
And the petals all unfold
When there was no dream of mine
You dreamed of me

6. not my so, but my best friend
she's the only person i've ever had a 'song' with

Hangin out with Lars down on 6th street
He knew that I was in trouble
I was feeling much like the Devil
There wassomething burning deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the funhouse
Wherewe played a lonely pinball machine

Hangin on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin by, but none of them seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia

I´m having a hard time understanding
It gets all too demanding
She´s all gone and I´m stranded
Something´s burning deep inside of me
All I know it´s 4 o'clock and
She aint never showed up and
I´ve watched a thousand people go home from work

Hangin on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin by, but none of them seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia

How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy
Before I lose everything
Something´s burning deep inside of me
Ran in to three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the funhouse
I don´t wanna be alone again

Hangin on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin by, but none of them seem to go my way
New York City, well I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia

7. Rod Stewart - You're In My Heart...
Edited on Tue Feb-13-07 12:07 AM by emmadoggy
I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you


You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should i grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me


You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're celtic, united, but baby i've decided
You're the best team i've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times i've thought to leave
But i bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing i've ever found
:)

Edited to say - Hey! I just realized this is my 300th post! Cool!

8. Heaven by Bryan Adams, the acoustic version....
there are a few others, but this one stands out the most.
