What is the best lyrics from a song that you can read as great poetry.

Some Lyrics are just terrible without singing them with music.

Anything Roger Waters or John Lennon ever recorded.

This song-

Like I love you-Amy Grant


Why do lovers drift apart
and how does love fade away?
When do pieces of a broken heart, mend again.
You've been crying in the dark
and you've been feeling alone.
Don't be scared of what you'll find
when you turn the light on.

Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye
now way nobody gonna walk away.
This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you.
Ain't nobody gonna make you cry
no way nobody ever really tried to love you,
like I love you.

What sad memory of yesterday
what terrible scar
Keeps you gathering the pieces of your shattered heart.
There was once upon a time when hope
was living within
I know there will come a time
When you can believe again.

How long, have you been feeling lonely....
How long, have you been feeling sad and blue........
