Every Little Kiss

Way out here, working on the docks
Everyone sees the long day through
Well what would I do without the nights and the phone
And the chance just to talk to you
What wouldn't I do now...
Just to talk to you
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

CHORUS
When the day goes down on the water town
When the sun sinks low all around
That's when I know I need you now
You're what I miss
Every little kiss
Every little one, oh, every little one

Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess that's all right with me
As I sit alone after a long day
In the absence of company
Oh I let my mind wander...
A thousand miles away
What I wouldn't give for only one night
Little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight

My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no I know I'm right all right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on blowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when alive, and I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because (your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light
I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want, I want
Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
But if you insist on blowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I only smile when alive, then I'll tell you why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because (your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light
I really miss
Ahhh, (Bec
ause your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life oh babe
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
(Because your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life

by Leonard Cohen

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it?s done ?
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it?s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet ?
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won?t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .

Lida Rose

"Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
To get the sun back in the sky
Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
About a thousand kisses shy

Ding dong ding
I can hear the chapel bell chime
Ding dong ding
At the least suggestion I'll pop the question

Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
Without a sweetheart to my name
Lida Rose, now everyone knows
That I am hoping you're the same

So here is my love song
Not fancy or fine
Lida Rose, oh won't you be mine?
Lida Rose, oh Lida Rose, oh Lida Rose"

Your lyric is nicer and less cynical and Cohen's.

Hi, my friend. :hug:

-by Joni Mitchell

Downtown
My darling dimestore thief
In the war of independence
Rock n roll rang sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said, take me to the dance
Do you want to dance?
I love to dance
And I told him, they dont take chances
They seem so removed from romance
Theyve been broken in churches and schools
And molded to middle class circumstance
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n rolling

Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebodys heart
Just doing the latest dance craze
Gail and louise
In those push-up brassieres
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Drinking up the bands beers
Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
And we were walking down main street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
In france they kiss on main street
Amour, mama, not cheap display
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n rolling

Downtown
In the pinball arcade
With his head full of pool hall pitches
And songs from the hit parade
Hed be singing bye, bye, love
While hes racking up his free play
Let those rock n roll choir boys
Come and carry us away
Sometimes chickie had the car
Or ron had a car
Or lead foot melvin with his hot-wire head
Wed all go looking for a party
Looking to raise jesus up from the dead
And Id be kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the brando-like things that he said
And wed be rolling, rolling, rock n rolling
