[littlebeast13]

Here's the next installment of Tuesday Wordplay, featuring 12 songs that have a certain word in common in their titles. No points for knowing the word, though it may help you get some of the other songs....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist.....



1. Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day

2. If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

3. I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean

4. 'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know, It can't stop, I wonder.

5. Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside

6. A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air till they play the last song

7. I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

8. The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed

9. Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone

10. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane

11. You said you didn't need me in your life
I guess you were right
Well I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again

12. After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies

Speaking of Wet, I'm willing to bet that one of these is from the Barbara Streisand Album of the same name that was like all water and rain so I'm just gonna go ahead and say that one of these is from that album for a bonus point (for Clem of course.)

Also

I'm gonna go ahead and guess the word is Rain...and you have to give Clem a point for that too, screw the rules (and then maybe I'll do the same to you )

Show Clem The Points!!!!
