songs remembered from just one line

[Raf]

If I should stay I would only be in your way

So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way.

[redrock and blues]

I'm stumped!

[Raf]

Okay, I'm getting it now, I just haven't got it yet.

[Raf]

Bittersweet memories

That is all I'm taking with me

So goodbye. Please don't cry.

We both know I'm not what you

You need.

[Human without the bean]

0h Boy, I thought I had it Raf, but now I'm not getting it.  It's a guy singing not a girl but I can't hear the song in my head.  This doesn't seem like a song for this thread I'm afraid. 

[Raf]

it is not a male singer

[Raf]

So help me i thought this was absurdly easy.

Really? No one? Come on!

[Raf]

I hope

Life treats you kind

And I hope

You have all you

Dream of

And I wish you JOY!

And happiness

But above all this

I wish you

Looooo-oooove.

And [TITLE]

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Not hearing it.

George

[Raf]

Wow.

Just.

:/

ok then.

Um.

The only lyric I did not give you was the title.

Which is

I Will Always Love You.

 

New clue:

Merrily merrily merrily merrily.

Life is but a dream.

[redrock and blues]

Ahhhhh.... couldn't contain myself and looked it up!   Rest in Peace, Girl!  Good choice, Raf!

[Human without the bean]

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go

[redrock and blues]

Had a terrific crush on Pet Clark when I was a senior in! highschool and she was Downtown!

[redrock and blues]

"I___I'm so in love with you

whatever you want to do is all right with me...."

[Raf]

Let's Stay Together

[Raf]

 

First, when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

 

All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

 

Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

[WordWolf]

We did this song in chorus in high school.  We didn't know why.  When the teacher mentioned we had 1 song too many for the concert, and wanted to let us pick which song to drop, we almost shouted in harmony to drop this song. 

"FLASHDANCE (What A Feeling)"- Irene Cara. (I THINK It's Irene Cara.) 

[Raf]

If no one got this I was going to post a link to books on Black women in music.

You're up, Old Man.

[WordWolf]

Next song.

Yes, it IS a song.

"There she was friends lying there in all her radiant beauty...Eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate, bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, sipping on a RC Cola listening to her transistor, watching the Grand Ole Opry on the tube reading the Mad Magazine while she sung, "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor?""

[GeorgeStGeorge]

There was a song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight,: but I don't think that's what you mean here.  This seems to be a song REFERENCING that song, and I have no idea what it is.

Your reasoning is tracking so far. AFAIK, only one song REFERENCES it. (I could be wrong.)  I'm confident you've heard this song before.    With a little thought, you might guess the artist. (It is NOT the same as for the referenced song.)
