My Favourite Memory.
My Favourite Memory.
The first time we met, Is a favourite memory of mine. They say time changes all it pertains to, But your memory is stronger than time. I guess everything does change, Except what you choose to recall. There’s a million good daydreams to dream on, But baby, you are my favourite memory of all.
Like the night we made love in the hallway, Slept all night long on the floor. Like the winter we spent on Lake Shasta, Alone and closer than ever before. And I remember that London vacation, It was you made the whole thing a ball. A million good times I could dwell on, But baby, you are my favourite memory of all.
The first time we met, Is a favourite memory of mine. They say time changes all it pertains to, But your memory is stronger than time. I guess everything does change, Except what you choose to recall. There’s a million good daydreams to dream on, But baby, you are my favourite memory of all.
Lyrics: British songwriter and music manager Steve Wolfe and songwriter and producer Ronnie Scott. Vocals: Gaynor Sullivan (née Hopkins), known professionally as Bonnie Tyler.

Bonnie Tyler’s vocals on “If I Sing You a Love Song” show the emotional, husky style that became her signature. Released in 1978 on the album Natural Force, the song lets her voice carry both tenderness and sadness, giving the lyrics a warm but slightly aching feel. Her distinctive raspy tone, widely noted as a defining feature of her singing—adds depth and sincerity, making the performance feel intimate rather than overly polished.
If I Sing You A Love Song.
If I Sing You A Love Song.
If I sing you a love song, Will you always remember? Will you hear it on lonely nights, When I’m not around? If I sing you a love song, Will you hear it forever? To remind you how much I care, And how I needed you? Love songs last longer than lovers ever do, So, baby, let me sing a love song for you. Love songs don’t leave you, but lovers often do, Oh, baby, I’m afraid it could happen to me and you. If I sing you a love song, Let it always be with you, When the others have gone away, Let it still be there. Love songs last longer than lovers ever do, So, baby, let me sing a love song for you. Love songs don’t leave you, but lovers often do, Oh, baby, I’m afraid it could happen to me and you. Oh, oh, oh, Oh, lonely nights when I’m not around, Baby, it’s a love song, So always remember, On lonely nights. I’ll sing you a love song, To keep you close to me, I’ll sing you a love song.
Alongside the famous early versions of “Help Me Make It Through the Night”; written by the late Kris Kristofferson, Anne Murray also put her own warm, clear stamp on the song, recording it for her album “Country Croonin”, released back on October 22nd, 2002.

A beloved Canadian vocalist known for her smooth, comforting delivery across country and pop, Ms Murray approaches the lyric less like a bar-room confession and more like a gentle, late-night request for closeness, proof that this classic can feel just as powerful when it’s sung softly as when it’s sung raw.
Help Me Make It Through The Night.
Help Me Make It Through The Night.
Take the ribbon from my hair, Shake it loose and let it fall, Lay it soft against your skin, Like the shadow on the wall. Come and lie down by my side, ‘Til the early morning light, All I’m takin’ is your time, Help me make it through the night. I don’t care what’s right or wrong, And I won’t try to understand, Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone, And tomorrow’s out of sight, And it’s sad to be alone, Help me make it through the night. I don’t care what’s right or wrong, And I won’t try to understand, Let the devil take tomorrow, ‘Cause tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone, And tomorrow’s out of sight, And it’s sad to be alone, Help me make it through the night. I don’t want to be alone, Help me make it through the night. END
“She’s a Mystery to Me” is a song written by Bono and The Edge of Band U2 and recorded by American rock legend, singer, songwriter and guitarist, the late Roy Kelton Orbison, (1936–1988). It was released in 1989 as a single from Orbison’s Mystery Girl album, his final release, and features Orbison’s signature emotive vocals on a dreamy, romantic track penned by the U2 members.

Recognizing the song’s potential, Bono and The Edge developed it as a tribute to Orbison’s timeless style. Orbison later recorded the song with Bono producing, adding his signature vocal depth to its dreamy, mysterious lyrics about love’s elusive nature.
She’s A Mystery To Me.
She’s A Mystery To Me.
Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand, Take me to some twilight land, Where all but love is grey, Where I can’t find my way, Without her as my guide. Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell, Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell, Am I left to burn and burn eternally, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. In the night of love words tangled in her hair, Words soon to disappear. A love so sharp it cut, Like a switchblade to my heart, Words tearing me apart. She tears again my bleeding heart, I want to run she’s pulling me apart, Fallen angel cries and I just melt away, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. She’s a mystery girl. Haunted by her side it’s the darkness in her eyes, That so enslaves me. But if my love is blind, Then I don’t want to see, She’s a mystery to me. Night falls I’m cast beneath her spell, Daylight comes our heaven turns to hell, Am I left to burn and burn eternally, She’s a mystery to me. She’s a mystery girl. (repeated).
