From Elton Johns 'Your Song'...How wonderful life is while you're in the world.
Julia Roberts character to Hugh Grants in 'Nottage Hill.'....I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
Glen Campbells 'Wichita Lineman'..".and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time."

You could do this entire thread on just Willie songs.
You could 17 threads on Texas Singer Songwriters. The genre is completely based on lyrics, not vocal range or ability.
"So excuse me for looking
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for looking
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for living
And being forgiving
So just go on if you want to be free
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me"

"So baby, let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society, you cry all day
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love"

"Baby in the back seat, and another on the way
Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day
Spends her nights waitin' for real life to start
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
On the other side of town two lovers lie still
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face"

Good ones.
I like a lot of Billy Joel's songs, he tells a story.
This is a great song about the kids sent to fight in the Vietnam war...
"We had no cameras to shoot the landscape, we passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes, and it was dark, so dark at night and we held on to each other like brother to brother, we promised our mothers we'd write"

"Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today"

"I will work for you
'Til my hands are tired and bleedin'
I know what it is from us I'm needin'
I will work for you
Like a team of mules
Pulling hell off from its hinges
It's for love that I'll keep tendin'
I will work for you
We were never made to run forever
We were just meant to go long enough
To find what we were chasin' after
I believe I found it here in your love"

Turn a different corner and we never would have met

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Nobody wants me, I'm just running wild
No mummy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child.
I think that's the lyrics, such a really sad song

Only you can do something about it. There's no-one there, my friend, any better. I might know what you mean when you say you fall apart. Aren't we all the same? In and out of doubt. I can see angels standing around you.
And they will carry you o'er the walls. If you need us, just call. Rest your weary world in their hands. Lay your broken laugh at their feet. I can see angels around you. They shimmer like mirrors in Summer. There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it. You might feel it and just not show it.

And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone They make no difference No difference in the end Still hear the women say your daddy died a hero In the name of god and man
Mother's pride Crazy boy His lifeless eyes He's a soldier now forevermore He'll hold a gun 'Til kingdom come

So you scream from behind your door Say what's mine is mine and not yours I may have too much but I'll take my chances 'Cause God's stopped keeping score And you cling to the things they sold you Did you cover your eyes when they told you That He can't come back 'cause He has no children To come back for?

One man caught in a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

From a Distance.
From a distance, you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance, I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting's for
Wind of Change, The Scorpions.
The world is closing in And did you ever think That we could be so close like brothers? The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away (Dream away) In the wind of change
