What is your favorite song title or quote from a song? I want to work a bunch of these into a multi-media collage-type quilt....and I need your help finding GREAT ones! You don't even have to like the song, as long as you love the title or great line or two from the lyrics! All eras and kinds of music are welcome! Please tell me the title of the song and who sang it (if you know) so I can keep a list for my records..... Thanks so much for helping me out!!!!

American Pie, Don McClean.....The players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield. This stands out for me cause I have kids in marching band.

This mornin, I shot 6 holes in my freezer
I think I got cabin fever

Jimmy Buffet, Boat Drinks

(It just started snowing - hope I don't get cabin fever!)

"Bridge over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkle and "Today" by the New Christy Minstrels (that goes back a long way!!)

All we are saying is give peace a chance

"let me check you for Ticks" Brad Paisley, very cute song!

Heartbreak Hotel
It's 5 O'clock Somewhere

"I Hope You Dance" by Leann Womack always makes me think of my girls. The lyrics to that song are incredible. "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers (a one hit wonder). "Let it Be", the Beatles.

Reeling in the Years (Steely Dan), Sunrise, Sunset, swiftly fly the years, one season following another (Fiddler on the Roof)

And the perfect one: Letting go by Suzy Bogguss:

She'll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She'll need some light to study by.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

"You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins
She was staring out that window, of that SUV
Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her It's a nice place
She says It'll do for now
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says Baby just slow down

'Cause You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says they don't bother me
I've got 2 babies of my own
One's 36, one's 23
Huh, it's hard to believe

But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this

I love I hope you dance it is really good song. and then cinderella is another good one that makes me cry. The guy that wrote cinderella song has a bunch of kids and a few of them are adopted. well his birth son was backing out of the driveway and ran over one of his adopted sisters. this was just a couple of years ago and this song actually had her in it. I am trying not to cry just thinking of the song and the sad sad story.
