A Familiar Song

More Than A Feeling
Favorite Line(s):
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It’s more than a feeling

When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)

Total Eclipse Of The Heart
Favorite Line(s):
Once upon a time I was falling in love

Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Sometimes I want to scream
