Thanks again for your responses

I spent my first night with him. It was, without going into detail, perfect with bells on!
I was a bit worried that the physical side of things might be a little disappointing, but it would seem that I had my cake and ate it too!

While trying to get my reel-to-reel tape deck functional yesterday, I ran my copy of Ella Fitzgeralds "Like Someone in Love" through it.

Wow.

I'd forgotten how good these songs were and of course Ella's incomparable voice.

The liner notes say;
" This is it- if you're in love,if you've ever loved,if you're about to fall in love; in short,if you're a member of the human race, then these sounds are for you: Ella's feeling and the beauty of songs about people in love-"

The Songs

There's a Lull in My Life
More Than You Know
What Will I Tell My Heart
I never Had A Chance
Close your Eyes
We'll Be Together Again
Then I'll Be Tired Of You
Like Someone In Love
I thought About You
Midnight Sun
You're Blase

Night Wind
Hurry Home
How Long Has This Been Going On?

What's "This Love Will Carry"

Dougie Maclean web site: http://www.dougiemaclean.com


THIS LOVE WILL CARRY - Maclean

It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame.
Dark clouds quickly gather along the way we came.
There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain.
There's heartache and heartbreak in the shadow of the flame.

CHORUS: This love will carry, this love will carry me.
I know this love will carry me.
This love will carry, this love will carry me.
I know this love will carry me.

The thinnest web will tangle; the sweetest flower will fall;
But somewhere in the distance, we will try and catch it all.
Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near,
As you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year. CHORUS

These days are golden; they must not waste away.
Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay.
Though by storms we're beaten, uncertainty is sure.
Like the coming of the dawn, it's ours forever more. CHORUS

Thank you all for your contributions.

He sang me a song last night, it was "Your love keeps liftin' me"

I am still feeling shakey and walking round with a silly smile on my face.
I never thought I'd ever feel this way, I know I have never felt this way about anyone before - it's a bit frightening.
I am trying to learn James Taylors "Only one" I'll try and post some of the words later
Thanks again,

For a bloke, the Dave Webber song Bonnet and Shawl isn't bad as a declaration of love...


BONNET AND SHAWL
(Dave Webber)
As recorded by Dave Webber (and Anni Fentiman and others on the chorus) on "Bonnet & Shawl" (1996)

Now, madam, I've waited a very long time,
To ask you if you could but spare me some time,
For there's things in me heart I've been longin' to say,
But try as I might sure I can't find a way.

CHORUS: And I'll show you the sun 'cross the fields in the morn.
I'll fetch thee a bonnet and deck it with corn.
I'll buy thee a shawl thread with ribbons of blue,
To show you the measure I'd trouble for you.

Now I know that me fortune be pitiful small,
And apart from me cottage I've nothing at all,
But there's store in me garden and fruit on me tree,
And I'd be awful proud if thou'd share 'em with me.

Now I'm thinking it likely as you'll never be mine,
For I'd be a poor catch for a woman so fine,
But if I never ask thee, then I'll never know,
If by some small chance you some favour might show.

Now, madam, I see by the look in your eye,
That you might be thinking the same thing as I,
So come take me hand and we'll walk in full view,
And give the old gossips some tonguing to do.


But don't talk to me about love - it's too much of a messy business, or maybe I'm just too much of a curmudgeonly old cynic.

Lauren Wood---Fallen

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.
And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's ironic to be back in the game.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

And I want to tell you, you control my rain..
And you should know that you are life in my veins.

You are the one who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that I was lost without you...

I can't believe it, you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how I have fallen for you.

And I was not looking, was content to remain.
And it's erotic to be back in the game.

Was going to suggest the Rose but LtS got there first. Also, of course, Lennon & McCartney's "I will". Or, if you want to be traditional:

I'll weave my love a garland, it shall be set so fine
I'll set it round with roses, with lilies, pinks and thyme
And I'll present it to my love when he comes home from sea
For I love my love, and I love my love, because my love loves me.

I would I were an arrow that sped into the air
I'd seek him as a sparrow, and if he were not there
How swiftly I'd become a fish to search the raging sea
For I love my love etc

I would I were a reaper I'd seek him in the corn,
Or if I were a keeper, I'd hunt him with my horn
I'd blow a blast when found at last beneath the greenwood tree
For I love my love etc

Mandleodeodeodorant or whatever, been there, done that, got the bits in a drawer somewhere..... I loved a bit more than he did though.... still not sure where we stand after all this time!! I've fallen out of love, but never out of friendship.

Mrs Duck - long story, short version.... One guy I totally lusted after, drooled, slobbered, everything damp and sticky after, ended up being a complete and utter shit, and I still have the fractured skull to prove it.... because when he stopped kissing, he started kicking. I prefer to start slow, have a friend and some mutual respect first. Besides, the old lust folicles are slowing down now.... not a lot gets it going these days.... well, maybe Skipjack.... and Sean Connery of course, then there's that guy I see on the way to work, on his motorbike, all dressed in leather he is.... Oh, and Michael Dorn (Worf in Star Trek Next Gen).... and David Duchovny.... Roger the Penguin.... that tall bloke from Sheffield.....

You old cynic you LtS!! I personnally favour having all the flutters in my erogenous bits first then making friends later. At least then if it turns out your not suited you've had a damn good time trying to find out. Geoff sang 'Roseville Fair' to me down on one knee in a crowded room so I've always favoured that as a love song even if it is a man to a lady.
Whitby Lovesong
The harbour lights were shining bright
When I met you on that first night
You took my hand and held me near
Now we have found a love so dear

We walked along hand in hand
And stopped to listen to a band
You kissed my cheek I feel it still
Now we have found a love so real.

We took a stroll down by the beach
And I felt love was in my reach
We drank a glass or two of wine
Now we have found a love so fine

You sang a song of endless love
As seabirds circled up above
You laid me down and loved me there
Now we have found a love so rare
Now we have found a love so rare

I've always though that "Put Another Log on the Fire" was one of the most touching and tender songs I could sing for my fair one - not because of what it says, but because it tells both of us that "that ain't how it is with us (I hope). The "(I hope)" is the message.

Shortly after we met, we stumbled into a Karioke session at the pool hall, and sang together (unaccompanied - they didn't have the music) Tom Lehrer's "When You Are Old And Gray." It was a great "turn-on" for us both (but maybe the fact we were both already a little ragged around the edges helped).

Maybe what I'm trying to verbalize (I often don't know for sure) is that a song that says what he means to you is not as good as a song that expresses what you share?

ER.. on a Beatles theme, I'd go for Help!

Then there is 'the Rose', and Martym Wyndham Reid's 'I will love you'....

I always find James Stewart's 'You got a friend' best. It's all very well falling passionately in love with someone, so that your stomach flips and your heart does the samba whilst your face goes scarlet and your naughty bits start trying to tell your brain what to do because the aforementioned brain is sitting there doing sod all, and you need to go change your underwear, but a friend is one who loves you despite the palpitations, hot flashes, stupid expression, intestinal noises and frequent changes of clothing. Make a friend first. Fall in love with them later.

Good luck.

And there are several threads for the 'how can I miss you if you won't go away' or 'where did our love go?' type songs that you will probably end up needing in a few months, maybe a year if your lucky.....

Am I an old cynic or what??
