The Poojer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 a couple of my married friends were talking about the 'ultimate' songs to put on a cd to express their feelings towards their wives. They kept coming up with the typical sappy songs....James Blunt, Clapton's sappy love songs....i couldnt come up with any...everything i thought would work actually had fairly depressing lyrics....what would be on your list...if you were to actually think that much about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 they were going along the lines of 'Wonderful Tonight' in our discussion interesting factoid. George Harrison and Eric Clapton were great friends. Clapton stole Harrison's wife Patty from George. George wrote "Something" for Patty. And Eric wrote "Wonderful Tonight" for her. And Lay Down Sally definitely sets a mood! There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me. I know you've got somewhere to go, But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave. Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms. Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon. I've been trying all night long just to talk to you. The sun ain't nearly on the rise And we still got the moon and stars above. Underneath the velvet skies, Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me? And don't you ever leave. Chorus I long to see the morning light Coloring your face so dreamily. So don't you go and say goodbye, You can lay your worries down and stay with me. And don't you ever leave.
