PROGRESSIVE LOVE SONG

By the way...The Best of Times - Styx

good stuff

mmm Lady Fantasy "Camel"

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold
I can see by your smile,
Take a long while,
The words that come through,
I see that they're true,
For she reminds me of you.


Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say
The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain
I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.
Tell me the reason why.


I can see clearly,
A face in the sky,
Moon's in your eye,
You're passing me by.


Saw you riding on a moon cloud,
Saw you walking on a whirlpool,
From the corner of my eye,
I saw you.


Saw you sitting on a sunbeam,
In the middle of my daydream,
Oh my Lady Fantasy,
I love you.

Nektar - Always:

Making the move
No time to prophecise
The secret is out
It's not right
We're breathless and out of time
The choice is ours
To stay or go for always
Always

In your eyes I will look
To see where it all began
Was it you who really helped
The life of a frightened child?
Now I could go
But could you stay, always?
I could go
But could you stay, for always?
Always

Ever
Why must this be forever?
Tell me now
Ever
That sounds so long and so forever
Never
All that I hear is never
Tell me now
If there's a heaven
Why can't it be there inside you?

(The secret is out
Time's running short
To stay or to go
The choice is still yours
All that I hear
Is what could have been
It's now up to you
To change how you feel)

i would agree with Banco - 750.000 Anni...
tough since now i could never understand the lyrics - thank you !

also Tempano - Anhelos
the cd-version countains a translation and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful. but this song is probably not real prog - it's just lightens the mood between all the complex structured songs on Atabal-Yemal.

Renaissance - Scheherzade and other stories

 

Great choices everybody, I also like "And you and I" and "Moonlight shadow", too     

Thank you

Dream Theater - "Through her Eyes"

She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I’ve become aware
And I’ve exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair

I’m learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

Inloving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died

I’m learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed

And I know what it’s like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same

She wasn’t given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I’ve been given so much more in life
I’ve got a son, I’ve got a wife

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last

The door has opened wide
I’m turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes

Mike Oldfield - moonlight shadow

Very sad song

"Been Alone So Long" by Peter Hammill, though it is not exactly a love song. It is a song about someone who doesn't know how to find any. If that doesn't count, then "This Side of the Looking Glass", also by Peter Hammill.

mmhhh... how about The Musical Box? it's twisted and wicked,
especially if you read Gabriel's accompanying story, yet it's a love
song
"You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubts on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me
Touch me
Now now now now NOW!"
