FEELS LIKE HOME


Feels Like Home Lyrics
several renditions but my favorite is
by
Bonnie Rait
Somethingin your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms

There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely
My life has been
And how long
I've been so alone

If you knew how I wanted
Someone to come along
And change my life
The way you've done

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way
Back where I come from

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way
Back where I belong

A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails
In the night

But I'm alright
'Cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark theres light

If you knew how much
This moment means to me
And how long I've waited
For your touch

If you knew how happy
You are making me
I never thought I'd
Love anyone so much

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way
Back where I come from

Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way
Back where I belong

Feels like I'm all the way
Back where I belong
BECAME


LUCKY IN LOVE LYRICS


Lucky in Love
by
Jason Mraz 
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when 
life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love 
with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

VIVA LA VIDA



Viva La Vida Lyrics
by 
Cold Play
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
BECAME
