Stevie makes list for most romantic line
 

Top 25 most romantic line in a song (Crystal). You have to click on the link because its not an article but one of the "click to advance" screens. Personally I think Christine has much more romantic lines but don't kill the messenger ;)

For those that don't want to click through, the specific line is "I turned around and the water was closing all around / Like a glove, like the love that had finally, finally found me / Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you"

thanks for saving us the tedious clicks :thumbsup:

Gosh, I always thought the most romantic line in a Stevie song was from Sara: "He was singing... and undoing... and undoing... ooh, the laces... undoing the laces..."

I think I got all the punctuation right from that quote!

I think her most romantic lyrics are from the 'My Love Never Gets Lost' demo. The first few verses are quite beautiful in my opinion. Where it goes "They say all the doors are shut, but in my heart I'll never give you up" & "My love can never be traded or be bought, no my love for you can never grow old." I've always thought those were such romantic lyrics. She has a lot of gems in her old demos.

From her released songs...She doesn't have many songs that are just simply romantic. There's always either a tint of loss, anger, etc. I think "All I ever wanted was to know that you were dreaming" is a beautiful line, but it's not necessarily romantic.

Sorry I guess I was trying to keep everyone in suspense with the clicks ;)

Maybe this is not the most romantic line but the line from If Anyone Falls always floored me. So much so that one time in 1994 I was a secret admirer and left a card for someone with the following line:

"I have never known the words and I have tried to be true.....but I've never known what to say.....how to say..... seen anything today... I've never seen.......anything like YOU."


Leather and Lace
If Anyone Falls
Rooms on Fire
Love is
Two Kinds of Love
Maybe Love will change your mind (although she did not write this one)

All very romantic Stevie songs IMHO

I always thought the first line of Kind of Woman was so romantic. You know..."Temptation falls in your path. No hesitation..why you ask? You have another waiting at home. And yes, she matters to you. Kind of woman that'll hold you."

The lyric is "kind of woman that'll haunt you"
IMHO not romantic at all. Temptation about cheating and a woman haunting you for it is hardly romantic. Its like her line in Silver Springs.."I'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you."
Tells me breaking up with Stevie is not an easy thing to do. She will haunt you like a poltergeist :eek:

I think Sleeping Angel is the most romantic Stevie song.

I second this! The whole chorus is about growing old together.

After all these years I had the words wrong in my head. Oh well...sorry about that. It does give a whole different meaning to the song. LOL thanks!!

I "third" this! I was thinking the same thing, Sleeping Angel came to my mind. And what about "someday when we're older, and my hair is silver grey, unbraid with all of the love you have, like a soft silver chain" and also the "flower and the vine" part, as well....:nod:

I think that while "China Doll" is so heartwrendingly sad, it's lyrics are some of the sweetest:


"I said it’s been so long since I’ve been held
And he said
I could hold you for days
He made love to me
With his eyes, especially
I smiled to know
I’d finally found a place..."

I'll braid with all of the love that you have .....i.e., she'll be braiding her grey hair into a soft silver chain that represents all their years together.

but then she moved on.....she went quietly.....
