GUESS THE SONG LYRICS

Lately, it seems to be "in" to put the lyrics of several songs on your blog, and see if anyone can guess the title. I thought I'd give it a shot. These songs are some favorites of mine, and a couple of them have been earworms for me lately. The first one, especially, has been driving me nuts all day. To make it a little easier, I've listed the first verse of the songs. Can you guess them? (If you listen to country, you'll probably do better--another hint.)

1. Honey why you calling me so late? It's kinda hard to talk right now. Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud.

2. Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

3. How do I, get through the night without you? If I had to live without you, what kind of life would that be? Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul. If you ever leave, Baby, you would take away everything good in my life. (EVERYONE ought to get this one!)

4. Well, she was precious like a flower. She grew wild, wild but innocent. A perfect prayer in a desperate hour. She was everything beautiful and different.

5. I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday. Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight. And I never had a girl looking any better than you did. And all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night.

6. I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch. I know that you're scared but you've never been this loved. It's a long shot, baby, I know it's true,
But if anyone can make it, I'm betting on me and you. Just keep on moving in to me,
I know you're going to see, the best is yet to come.

7. The snow in Montana was three feet high. The lady at the counter said: There ain't no flights. And so he called her on the telephone. He said: I'll rent a car and I'll drive home.

8. He called her on the road, from a lonely cold hotel room just to hear her say I love you one more time. But when he heard the sound of the kids laughing in the background, he had to wipe away a tear from his eye. A little voice came on the phone, said daddy when you coming home? He said the first thing that came to his mind.

9. See your mama and the candles and the tears and roses. I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle. And my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher,
"Don't she look beautiful tonight?"

10. I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight. I've never seen you shine so bright. I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance. They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance. I have never seen that dress you're wearing, or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind.

11. Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp, and she's probably getting frisky...right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...And he don't know...

12. Couple of days isn't a very long time. Why can't I just walk away, I used to be good at goodbyes...Out on the water...under the stars...I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart.

13. If I had just one tear running down your cheek, maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep. If I had just one moment at your expense, maybe all my misery would be well spent.

14. Baby take off your coat, real slow. Take off your shoes. I'll take off your shoes. Baby take off your dress. Yes, yes, yes. (Sorry Mom! Don't be embarassed. I just needed a little variety in the genre!)

15. My roots are planted in the past. Though my life is changing fast, who I am is who I want to be!

BONUS: He tells her, "I want to paint you naked on a big brass bed, with bright orange poppies all around your head." And she says, "Crazy old man, I'm not young anymore." "That's all right," he whispers, "I've never painted before."
