love-related lyrics?
Hi all
My name is Sarah. My boyfriend is a huge Pink Floyd fan. For his birthday I got him a Pink Floyd watch, and I want to make it special by inscribing something sentimental on the back, preferably lyrics.
So I was wondering, are there any love-related Pink Floyd lyrics I could put on? It doesn't necessarily have to be romantic, but something with meaning.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sarah

Some shots in the dark that may help or guide you....

"Breathe, breathe in the air / Don't be afraid to care / Leave but don't leave me" : from BREATHE. maybe just the "Don't be afraid to care" part could be sentimental

"All this love ,is all I am" from EMBRYO

and if you want to be humorous you could always put on lyrics from TIME: "Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day"

Good luck

"one of these days..."
"careful with this watch, eugene"
"Shine on you crazy diamond"

i like what mageestout said about the "ticking away the moments that make up a dull day"

"I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"

any lyrics from the song Echoes would be great too.
"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky"

- "Meek and obedient you follow the leader down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel."

How about Fat Old Sun?

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's Sunday and a year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells
New mown grass smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down

And if you see
Don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me
Sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears
And if you see
Don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me
Sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is...(fades out)

Well, it all depends if your boyfriend is a hardcore fan, then I would say you could pick something from the older stuff. If he's not, I would stick to The Dark Side Of The Moon, or The Wall.
