Will not the deepening darkness Brighten the glimmering star Then when the night is upon us Why should the heart sink away When the dark midnight is over Watch for the breaking of day
"Whispering Hope," an old hymn with some beautiful imagery. I was listening to The Blue Sky Boys and it came up.

How could she do this to me

Because neither one of us
(neither one of us)

I just want to be me,
But we have to be us.

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
You and I.
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine ~ John Lennon
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home.

They called us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
and lay their money down

But us, old friend!
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few!

Well it'd been years since the kids had grown
Lives of their own
Left us alone

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

And bring it out here

Brighten the glimmering star
Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day

DOH! I played twice on the new song. I'll sit out three plays. So play, please!
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me.
--"Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree."
Oh come let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Oh Come All Ye Faithful
My buddies and me are gettin' real well known;
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone.
--"I Get Around," the Beachboys
Oh come, Thou Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh.
--O Come, O Come Emmanuel--Advent season song
What if God was one of us,
Just a slob like one of us,
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home.
--Suggested by my #2 son.
Come join us then each week, my friends.
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
--(I thought that Sandra would surely play this one!)
I don't have any songs filed by "us" in my head. Glad you played it. It reminds me of this one, though:
Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse,
Forever let us hold his banner high
From the ancient and honorable original Mickey Mouse Club theme song
