fancy brings a thought to me
of flower so bright and fair,
grace and beauty both combined
to make that far more rare

like a maiden that I know
who shared my happy lot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

we met I really dont know where
I guess its all the same
love grows in a village green
as well as in a lane

I gently took her by the hand
and a glance at me shot
she dropped a flower, I picked it up
it was a sweet forget me not

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

(instrumental part)

then there came a happy time
when something that I said
caused her lips to murmer yes
and shortly we were wed

now theres a cottage by a lane
with a tiny garden spot
there grows a flower I know it well
its the sweet forget me not

shes graceful and shes charming
like the lillies in the pond
time is flowing swiftly by
of her I am so fond
the roses and the daisies
they bloom around the spot
where we parted when she whispered
"you'll forget me not"

you'll forget me not

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
