Lyrics

Earlier today, I was thinking about how meaningful some song lyrics can be. Some that don't seem to be ("If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway; would you have my baby?") can have a lot to them, and how some have more and more meaning each time you hear them ("It's those pills that you don't need to take, medicating perfection now that's a mistake").
This evening, we were joking about how I should audition for American Idol. Steverino asked me "what song would you sing?" I think that if I ever had to put myself out there like that, I'd sing "Stand By Me." If you really listen to the lyrics, they're so amazing.

"When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me"

So anyway, that's just a brief rambling on how much song lyrics mean to me.

What lyrics have a lot of meaning for you?
