Songs With the Most Beautiful Lyrics

I realized that list is nearly identical to its partner: Songs With the Most Beautiful Melodies. I suppose that some songs just connect with me.
The Top Ten
1 Surf's Up - The Beach Boys

I really didn't appreciate Surf's Up until a month or two ago, when I heard a piano demo Brian Wilson did in 1966. As sentences, the lyrics make no sense, but when put to that melody, they take you to heaven for the duration of the song.

2 The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles
3 Vincent - Don McLean

These lyrics almost capture the intense beauty in Van Gogh's paintings. Enough said.

If you’ve never read "Lust for Life" by Irving Stone, you will discover the tragically tortured soul of Van Gogh, and this haunting song will bring tears—it always makes me cry with its poignant melancholy.

4 I'm Not Supposed to Care - Gordon Lightfoot

.,. And thank YOU PetSounds for bring this song into MY life. It's so touching.
Gorgeous list by the way. Agree with them all.

5 The House That Built Me - Miranda Lambert

Thank-you for bringing this song into my life, Britgirl. I truly connected with it.

6 In My Life - The Beatles

I fell in love with this song before I heard it. I simply read the lyrics.

7 Go Gentle - Robbie Williams

It's about his daughter

For all the girls

8 Wishes Last Forever - The Arcana

This is one to keep you going through thick and thin.

Can you make a wish?

9 Christmas In the Trenches - John Mcdermott
10 Leningrad - Billy Joel
The Contenders
11 Sunshine Brightly - The Arcana
12 Hey Jude - The Beatles

Hey jude is one of the greatest songs ever written with truly amazing lyrics.

Take a sad song and make it better

13 Coma White - Marilyn Manson

I'm glad to see this in the Top 10. It's definitely a song everyone should listen to before they die.

14 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
15 The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

Such beautiful imagery

16 This is Why I Need You - Jesse Ruben
17 Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
18 Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

Most nostalgic song ever

19 Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Amazing song with beautiful lyrics.

20 Thoughts - Michael Schulte
21 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Stairway to heaven is a beautiful song with amazing lyrics.

22 Fix You - Coldplay
23 Man In the Mirror - Michael Jackson

This song is the most beautiful! I don't know how to describe it more...

24 Whispering Wind - Moby

I recommend this song to you, PetSounds. And Britgirl. It's a truly breathtaking song. Think you'll like.

25 Angel With an Attitude - Samantha Fox

Special list indeed. I'm not a fan of Samantha Fox, but this song has beautiful lyrics and it's very moving. However, you better not see the official videoclip, believe me, it doesn't do justice to the song! Just listen to it.
