Where, where were you?
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

We needed to unwind,

You were once my one companion,
You were all that mattered,
You were once a friend and father,
Then my world was shattered.

Dancing in the street.

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were.

(Marvin Hamlisch; notably sung by Streisand)

Sally said...

Gargh! Sandra played the hymn.
OK. I'll play something else:

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Boy, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing

"If I Were a Bell" from "Guys and Dolls"

Monikah and Shane beat me to 3 of the songs I was thinking of - well done. :)

Were thine that special face?
The face which fills my dreaming,
Were thine the rhythm'd grace,
Were thine the form so lithe and slender,
Were thine the arms so warm, so tender,

Were Thine That Special Face - from the musical Kiss Me Kate

But the stars we could reach

how did it feel to be alone?

Living by the sword.

If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man.

If I Were A Rich Man - from Fiddler On The Roof

Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

Everything lasted forever and you were all mine
