    Kimberly by Patti Smith. It is about the love between a big sister and her little sister. Cheers!

    I don't know if it's the greatest, but I was touched by Dolly Parton's tribute to her late husband of over 50 years.

    Not the greatest, but I love this from the 80s.

    No surprise for me with a Howard Jones song.

    I very much admire Jones' lyrics. In a world of "across a crowded room" admiration, I believe jones communicates love true meaning for humans.

    And, of course, I like Jones' music, too.




    "What Is Love?"

    I love you whether or not you love me
    I love you even if you think that I don't
    Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
    But I don't mind
    Why should I mind
    Why should I mind

    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway
    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway

    Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
    Never worry never be sad
    The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
    This is why I don't mind you doubting

    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway
    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway

    And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
    The door always must be left unlocked
    To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
    And not to spend the time just doubting

    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway
    What is love anyway
    Does anybody love anybody anyway?

    Think about it a bit. "If I can survive I can keep you alive"
    An Innocent Man

    Some people stay far away from the door
    If there’s a chance of it opening up
    They hear a voice in the hall outside
    And hope that it just passes by

    Some people live with the fear of a touch
    And the anger of having been a fool
    They will not listen to anyone
    So nobody tells them a lie

    I know you’re only protecting yourself
    I know you’re thinking of somebody else
    Someone who hurt you
    But I’m not above
    Making up for the love
    You’ve been denying you could ever feel
    I’m not above doing anything
    To restore your faith if I can
    Some people see through the eyes of the old
    Before they ever get look at the young
    I’m only willing to hear you cry
    Because I am an innocent man
    Oh yes I am

    Some people say they will never believe
    Another promise they hear in the dark
    Because they only remember too well
    They heard somebody tell them before
    Some people sleep all alone every night
    Instead of taking a lover to bed
    Some people find that’s it’s easier to hate
    Than to wait anymore
    I know you don’t want to hear what I say
    I know you’re gonna keep turning away
    But I’ve been there and if I can survive
    I can keep you alive
    I’m not above going through it again
    I’m not above being cool for a while
    If you’re cruel to me I’ll understand

    Some people run from a possible fight
    Some people figure they can never win
    And although this is a fight I can lose
    The accused is an innocent man
    Oh yes I am
    An innocent man

    You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
    I guess you’d rather be a martyr tonight
    That’s your decision
    But I’m not below
    Anybody I know
    If there’s a chance of resurrecting a love
    I’m not above going back to the start
    To find out where the heartache began

    Some people hope for a miracle cure
    Some people just accept the world as it is
    But I’m not willing to lay down and die
    Because I am an innocent man

    I am an innocent man
    Oh yes I am
    An innocent man
