Nice job, RTS. Right in your wheel house as well.

8. ... ???

Never reaching the end

Letters I've written

Never meaning to send

 

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I can't say any more

 

'Cause I love you

Yes I love you

Oh how I love you

5.

 

She said she's married her an architect

Who kept her warm and safe and dry

She would have liked to say she loved the man

But she didn't like to lie

 

I said the years had been a friend to her

And that her eyes were still as blue

But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw

Doubt or gratitude

...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired

And running out of things to say

She gave a kiss to me as I got out

And I watched her drive away

 

Just for a moment I was back at school

And felt that old familiar pain

And, as I turned to make my way back home

The snow turned into rain

 

Dan Fogelberg. You hear that one quite a bit this time of year.

I have this one on vinyl, too. Nights in White Satin. The Moodies.

9.

Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!

'Cause it is my favorite holiday.

But all this year's been a busy blur

Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush

Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left from last year.

Ski shop encounter most interesting.

Had his number but never the time,

Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls. Trim those trees.

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.

I just need to catch my breath;

Christmas by myself this year

I knew 3,5, and 6.

Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!

'Cause it is my favorite holiday....

Christmas by myself this year

 

Hometown girls? Cool song.

 

I know this one, only because I dated a woman from Alliance. I'll let someone else guess.

7. One of SF's all-time fave's...

Love of two is one

Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness

And it was clear she couldn't go on

 

Then the door was open and the wind appeared

The candles blew then disappeared

The curtains flew then he appeared, saying don't be afraid

 

Seasons don't fear the reaper, nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are...

If I told you what it takes

To reach the highest high

You'd laugh and say nothing's that simple

But you've been told many times before

Messiahs pointed to the door

And no one had the guts to leave the temple!

Well I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road

And I asked him tell me where are you going, this he told me:

Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, going to join in a rock and roll band.

Got to get back to the land, and set my soul free.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,

And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Yep... you've nailed this much, so the assumption can be made that you're on the title as well. :thumb:

As time goes on


I realize 
just what you mean 
to me


And now, now that you're near


Promise your love
 that I've waited to share


And dreams
 of our moments together

Masquerading as a man with a reason

My charade is the event of the season

And if I claim to be a wise man, well

It surely means that I don't know

Miles and miles of empty space in between us

The telephone can't take the place of your smile

But you know I won't be travelin' forever

It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do
