Every Saturday I'll try to come up with some "out there" question that just makes you stop and think about something not so important. Think of it as a mini vacation. If you have any ideas drop me a line and we'll throw it in here. Who knows, it might be fun.
OK - Here goes: What song line ALWAYS makes you smile? You know - you hear it and the image wins over every time.
Mine? The first verse from Tim McGraw's song Watch the Wind Blow By.
Creek goes rippling by
I’ve been barefoot and all day with my baby
Brown leaves have started falling
Leading the way
It's got some of my favorite things in it.
Water - we all know how I feel about Gulfs, oceans, rivers, lakes and creeks.
Being barefoot. 'Nuff said.
And fall.
It exactly hits one of my favorite ways to spend time.
Every time I hear, or even have that song run through my mind it just makes me smile.
So tell me - what line or lines from a song do that to you?????

The Cure... Killing an Arab
"standing on the beach with a gun in my hand
staring at the sea
staring at the sand
staring down the barrel at the arab on the ground
I see his open mouth but I hear no sound.
I'm alive
I'm dead
I am a stranger
Killin' an arab."
Makes me what to shed a tear out of happiness.

Murray Head: One night in Bangkok
"I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine"
(Sorry - I lived in Thailand for a couple of years - and that one line gets me grinning every time.)

Posted by: sarahk at October 2, 2005 07:39 AMI too will play the nostalgia card today....and say these lyrics would make me smile....
Lips Like Sugar/ Echo and the Bunnymen
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
Whatever comes in the line after "Louie, Louie."
