    This is the chorus of a very soulful song.

    We had joy.
    We had fun.
    We had seasons in the sun,
    but the wine and the song like the seasons are all gone

      And by the same songwriter

      If you go away
      on this summer day,
      Then you might as well
      take the sun away;
      All the birds that flew
      in the summer sky,
      When our love was new
      and our hearts were high;
      When the day was young
      and the night was long,
      and the moon stood still
      for the night birds song.
      If you go away,
      Ne me quitte pas
      If you go away,
      Ne me quitte pas

      But if you stay,
      Ill make you a day
      Like no day has been,
      or will be again;
      We'll sail the sun,
      we'll ride on the rain,
      We'll talk to the trees
      and worship the wind.
      Then if you go,
      I'll understand,
      Leave me just enough love
      to fill up my hand,

      If you go away,
      if you go away,
      Ne me quitte pas,
      if you go away.

          Liked a few from Garth brooks such as, "we bury the hatchet, but leave the handle sticking out"

          Or "Mamas in the graveyard papa's in the Pen".

          Just one liners but the rest if the lyrics are pretty catchy.

                As kids, we changed it thus.

                We had joy
                We had fun
                Flicking bogies to the sun
                But the sun was too hot
                So they melted into snot.

                        Possibly the most memorable lyrics ever written...:snorky:

                        It was a hot Sunday mornin'
                        Middle of July
                        The choir was a singin'
                        'Bout the sweet by and by

                        Everybody was a swayin'
                        And sweatin' in the heat
                        We all bowed our heads down
                        As the preacher took his seat

                        My sister and my brother stood next to my mother
                        In the quiet at the close of the verse
                        That's when daddy cut the big one
                        At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

                        My sister rolled her eyes back
                        My brother bit his lip
                        My cousin just behind us
                        Whispered, "Hey, who let it rip?"

                        I stuck my face in my shirtsleeve
                        Stared down at my shoes
                        Lord, you could hear a pin drop
                        As we stood there in the pew
                        Heads were turnin', eyes were burnin'

                        Momma stuck her nose in her purse
                        After daddy cut the big one
                        At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

                        He cut the big one
                        It was a stinker
                        Then he broke the silence
                        With a snicker
                        And us kids started laughin'
                        'Til I thought we was all gonna burst
                        After daddy cut the big one
                        At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

                        He said, "The devil made me do it"
                        Momma said it was the liverwurst
                        And that's why daddy cut the big one
                        At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church

                            Seems like Granny sent the Chicken out to score the snuff, but it did the lot itself and snuffed it :chicken:

                              I come from down in the valley
                              where mister when you're young
                              They bring you up to do like your daddy done
                              Me and Mary we met in high school
                              when she was just seventeen
                              We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

                              We'd go down to the river
                              And into the river we'd dive
                              Oh down to the river we'd ride

                              Then I got Mary pregnant
                              and man that was all she wrote
                              And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
                              We went down to the courthouse
                              and the judge put it all to rest
                              No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
                              No flowers no wedding dress

                              That night we went down to the river
                              And into the river we'd dive
                              Oh down to the river we did ride

                              I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
                              But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
                              Now all them things that seemed so important
                              Well mister they vanished right into the air
                              Now I just act like I don't remember
                              Mary acts like she don't care

                              But I remember us riding in my brother's car
                              Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
                              At night on them banks I'd lie awake
                              And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
                              Now those memories come back to haunt me
                              they haunt me like a curse
                              Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
                              Or is it something worse
                              that sends me down to the river
                              though I know the river is dry
                              That sends me down to the river tonight
                              Down to the river
                              my baby and I
                              Oh down to the river we ride

                              The River by Bruce Springsteen
