Songs With the Most Beautiful Lyrics

PetSounds 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. - PetSounds

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. - PetSounds

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. - Britgirl

5 Go Gentle - Robbie Williams

It's about his daughter

For all the girls

18 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.
