Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don′t ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It′s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Green Day – Good Riddance

Pet Shop Boys

... Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend...

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel, oh, second best (you did, you did)
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

When you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
And give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind


Da gibt's viele Versionen, u.a. von Elvis oder den Pet Shop Boys

You know our love was meant to be
Kind of love till last forever
And i want you to be here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul
Baby,
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
Bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
Wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you...

You're the Inspiration - Peter Cetera

If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I′m so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That′s where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

I'm that voice you′re hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn′t happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I′ve been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it′s more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I′ll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven′t been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
"Hold on to your heart"
Now I know the woman that you are
You′re wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

Billy Joel – For The Longest Time

Spandau Ballet - True

So true, funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh I want the truth to be said
Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
I know this much is true

When you're dancing you're fantastic
All you're dressed in is elastic.
You make art with twirts and spins
Can't wait till the show begins.
Anyone can see
See
See
See
You were made to dance for me
Me
Me
Me.
Won't take no - no for an answer
You're my - you're my Ballet Dancer.
Won't take no - no for an answer
Won't take no -
No for an answer.
You're my -
You're my Ballet Dancer
Won't take no -
No for an answer.
I've been here
For every show
There's not a step
That I don't know.
I know your
Body small and neat
Dancing on
Anyone can see

The Twins, Ballet Dancer

What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling

Irene Cara

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here


The Carpenters – Top of the world

Ich habe einen Schatz gefunden
Und er trägt deinen Namen
So wunderschön und wertvoll
Und mit keinem Geld der Welt zu bezahlen
Du schläfst neben mir ein
Ich könnt dich die ganze Nacht betrachten
Seh'n wie du schläfst, hör'n wie du atmest
Bis wir am Morgen erwachen
Hast es wieder mal geschafft, mir den Atem zu rauben
Wenn du neben mir liegst, dann kann ich es kaum glauben
Dass jemand wie ich
Sowas schönes wie dich verdient hat
Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist
Es tut so gut, wie du mich liebst
Vergess den Rest der Welt
Wenn du bei mir bist...

Silbermond - das Beste

Ihr wollt ein Liebeslieb
Ihr kriegt ein liebes Lied
Ein Lied, dass Ihr liebt

Das ist Liebe auf den ersten Kick
Nicht mal Drum ′n Bass hält jetzt mit deinem Herzen Schritt
Du hast deinen Schatz gefunden, ohne lang zu buddeln
Bock ihn in den Arm zu nehmen und stundenlang zu knuddeln (yes, jo, ha)

Voll erwischt, du Fisch zappelst am Haken
Heute Nacht wirst du im Zelt vor'm Plattenladen warten
Dabei ein Radio, falls es noch mal wieder kommt
Spontanes Desinteresse an all den anderen Liedern prompt

Die alle gleich aussehen und zu viel Schminke nehmen
Aus fünfzig Wörtern wählen um das Gleiche zu erzählen
Mit Schönheitsoperationen an digitalen Konsolen
Stylemäßig immer wieder gut beraten von Polen

Und für dich gibt′s nur noch eins und sonst keins
Und hält jemand nicht deins für Nummer eins
Siehst du rot wie Heinz und sperrst ihn ein
Quälst ihn mit Simple Minds bis er weint

Gefährliche Liebschaften
Doch du hast keine Schuld, dafür muss das Lied haften
Deine Ohren fühlen sich wie neu geboren jeden Tag
Und du fragst dich, kann man auch Tracks heiraten in Dänemark?

Unser Beat hat Boom gemacht (unser Beat hat Boom gemacht)
Und es hat Zoom gemacht

Ihr wollt ein Liebeslied
Ihr kriegt ein liebes Lied (liebes Lied)
Ein Lied, dass ihr liebt, dass ihr liebt
Also hört zu, hört zu (hört zu), werdet verliebt (werdet verliebt)

Hast du im Leben nix in Petto, ist alles Ghetto
Das heißt Glück brutto und Frust netto
Und im Gesicht 'n Tränentattoo, ey, dann wird's Zeit für Musik
Weil, dann tanzt du und fliegst durch die Plattenboutique

Und ist deine Freundin weg, dass heißt deine Ex
Ist der Griff zum lieben Lied der Beginner dein Reflex
Nicht mehr Seiten, sondern Sprünge auf der Platte
Kommt vor, bleib entspannt, kauf ′ne Neue, ist doch Latte

Und sieht dein Leben manchmal doof aus
Mach′s wie ich, hol meinen Philosoph raus
Schreib 'n Text, komm dann groß raus

Du bist in mich verschossen, mein Pfeil hat dich getroffen
Nun bist du im Beginnerrausch, früher warst du besoffen
Von zu viel Produzenten, denn egal, wie sie′s schrauben
Nur dünne Tracks und Rap mit Pipi in den Augen

Deswegen drück ich selten auf die Tränendrüse
Während ich in den Charts stehen über
Ihr wollt ein Liebeslied

Ihr kriegt ein liebes Lied (liebes Lied)
Ein Lied, dass Ihr liebt (dass ihr liebt)
Also hört zu (hört zu), werdet verliebt (werdet verliebt)

Ich liebe dieses Lied, hahaha
Lied, du hast mir gut gefallen, ich liebe dich
Ich weiß nicht, wie ich's sagen soll, aber du hast mir wahnsinnig gut gefallen
Hört zu
Hört zu
(Hört zu)
Ein Lied, dass Ihr liebt


Absolute Beginners - Liebeslied

Said I loved you, but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you, but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you, but I lied
… With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep, so true
I've found in you
… So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun, yeah
Need you forever and I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Michael Bolton, Said I loved you...but I lied

Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love
And now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
(Please bring it back)
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know (ooh-ooh-ooh know)
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way (ooh)
When I grow older (yeah)
I will be there at your side (ooh)
To remind you how I still love you
Back, hurry back (back, back)
Please, bring it back home to me
Because you don't know (ooh-ooh-ooh know)
What it means to me

Queen

Weißt du was du mir bedeutest?
Auf einem Platz in meinem Herz
Steht dein Name an der Wand
Und ich will dass du es erfährst
Ich werde immer an dich glauben
Egal was auch passiert
Manche singen von Liebe
Ich sang die ganze Zeit von dir

Ich hatte keinen Hunger
Ich hatte einfach Durst
Alles was ich verliere auf dem Weg

Ich weiß ich werde sterben
Ich weiß ich werde gehen
Und auf dem Schild das ich jetzt trage
Kann man dein Antlitz sehen


Tomte – Ich sang die ganze Zeit von dir

Though it hurts to go away, it's impossible to stay
But there's one thing I must say before I go
I love you (I love you), you know
I'll be thinking of you in most everything I do
Now the time is moving on, and I really should be gone
But you keep me hanging on for one more smile
I love you (I love you) all the while
With your cute little way, will you promise that you'll save
Your kisses for me?
Save all your kisses for me
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
Don't cry, honey, don't cry
Gonna walk out that door
But I'll soon be back for more...

Save Your Kisses for Me - Brotherhood of Man

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I′m trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you′d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me

A Fine Frenzy – Almost Lower

Be well my love
Be well
As you brave
The raging storm
Be well my love
Be well
Into a new world
We are born...

Luka Bloom - Be well

She met her love
In an English prison cell
He looked so tired
On their wedding day
Visitors hours
So the time flew by
Before they parted
Heard each other say

This is for life for me
This is for life for me

He said
If love walks on beaches
What am I to do
If love talks in soft whispers
What am I to do
Lovers gaze at sunsets
What am I to do
What am I to do

This is for life for me
This is for life for me

She sends soul kisses
To that moonless place
She's a time keeper
She knows he will come home
She's a lighthouse
He looks for her in his mind's eye
Just to hear her say

This is for life for me
This is for life for me
This is for life
This is for life


Luka Bloom - This Is For Life

Ich hoffe, du hörst mich
Wenn es dich irgendwo gibt
Dies ist dein Lied
Ich hoffe, du weißt es
Wenn man es irgendwo spielt
Dies ist dein Lied
Ich hoffe, du kannst es hören

Laith al Deen - Dein Lied

Bilder von dir überdauern – bis in alle Zeit
Bilder von dir überdauern – bis in die Ewigkeit
Bilder von dir überdauern – bis in alle Zeit
Bis in alle Zeit, bis in alle Zeit
Bilder von dir überdauern – bis in die Ewigkeit
In die Ewigkeit, in die Ewigkeit.
Meine Worte hüllt in Schweigen,
so können sie nicht flieh'n.
Das was dunkel macht das bleibt
Und lässt das andre zieh'n.
Ich kann nicht sagen und will nicht vergessen
Oh nein, nein, nein
Wie ich es seh', wie ich es seh'.
Worte sind wie Pulver,
wenn do den Himmel kennst
Ich fühl's in meinem Kopf,
fühl's überall hab's lang vermisst
Ich kann nicht sagen, will nicht vergessen
Oh nein, nein, nein
Wie ich es fühl, wie ich es fühl.

Laith Al-Deen – Bilder von Dir

I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh-a oh-a
You were the first one
Oh-a oh-a
You are the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR

The Buggles

Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color TVs
We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
Looky here, look out
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera man
We could have some
And he's up there, what's that?
Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free

Dire Straits, Money for nothing

I need a dollar, dollar a dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar, dollar a dollar is what I need

And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

Bad times are coming and I reap what I don't sow
Well let me tell you something all that glitters ain't gold

It's been a long old trouble long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load

Aloe Blacc - I need a dollar

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a yen
A buck or a pound.
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money


Aus Cabaret

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah, she's a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For love or money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money

And the fever, gettin' higher
