I love it when music inspires me. I’ve been listening to music more lately, since I am now carpooling with my son to work. He received an internship with my company, so we drive to work together three days a week. I’m excited for his amazing opportunity, but it’s also a fun way to spend time with him. Music has always brought us together, and this is no exception.
We were driving to work the other morning and while I was listening to a song he picked (which was amazing by the way), I found two key words that gave me the theme for today and next week. That’s always fun when I can come up with two at the same time!
I’m slightly late this week. I actually almost forgot to post this, which is pretty crazy considering how much I love SLS. But, I remembered so you can all breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work! Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is give/giving.
As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt. We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!
If you would like to suggest a theme, I am open to suggestions. Please either pop it in the comments or send me an email at helenvahdati@yahoo.com.
Here are the “rules”:
- Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not
- Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due and it’s honestly just a simple Google search
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
- Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
- Read at least one other person’s blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process
Feel free to use the Song Lyric Sunday badge by copying it into your post or add it to your site to show you are participating.

The last two weeks have been super crazy, and I missed participating in SLS, so I am glad that things have settled enough for me to relax and find a great song about giving. I had forgotten about the song I chose until google reminded me. My favorite line: “See the man with the lonely eyes oh, take his hand, you’ll be surprised.” I give you Supertramps’s “Give a little bit.”
Written by Richard Davies and Roger Hodgson from Google
Oh, yeah
Alright
Here we go again
Hey hey, whoa no, da na, hey hey, yeah
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my love to you
There’s so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care
(Alright)
I’ll give a little bit
I’ll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you’ll be surprised
Oh, take it
Ah, yeah
Come along
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I’ll give a little bit of my life for you
Now’s the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we’re on our way back home
Oh, going home
Don’t you need, don’t you need to feel at home
Oh yeah, we gotta sing
Oh yeah, you gotta get a feeling
Oh, yeah, come along too
Whoo!
You can come along too, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come along
Cha, cha, cha oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, come along too
Yeah, come along too, yeah
Sing Betty Lou
Come along too
What a long ride
Come a long way
Oh, sing it tonight
Oh, yeah

Well, often I have to stretch your wonderful themes to find a song I already know and love so that’s what I did today. (The song library in my head is from a different generation…
😘
And I love the story of music in the car with your son. Reminds me of one I really need to write up myself so thanks!

Helen, I just wrote this to a commenter who asked for the playlist of the healing CD I mentioned in my SLS post this week.
“You know, a couple of others have asked me too so I think I will do a post on this Homemade CD…if I can figure out what (if anything) I need to do about copyright stuff. Do you happen to know??”
Helen,
Do YOU know if I can just list songs, and include videos if I have them?

I can’t imagine that would be bad. I’ve seen similar things and that’s pretty much what we do every week. I know there’s a lot of debate out there about copyright laws, but I think this falls in the category of sharing information that is already public. It’s not like you’re sharing the cd and asking people to pay for it. 😏 I hope that helps.
