“I still
Light up like a candle burnin when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burnin everytime we touch
Oh say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I still
Be lovin you baby and it's much too much”

Macy Gray (1967) American singer-songwriter and actress

“I got my first real six-string,
Bought it at the five-and-dime.
Played it till my fingers bled,
It was the summer of '69Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit and Jody got married;
I shoulda known we'd never get far.Oh, when I look back now,
That summer seemed to last forever.
And if I had the choice,
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there.
Those were the best days of my life.”

Bryan Adams (1959) Canadian singer-songwriter
