Barry Louis Polisar not only makes songs but also books for children.
This video is from the movie Juno (which I have not seen) and the song appeared on his 1993 album Old Dog, New Tricks.
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Dream City Film Club - If I Die, I Die
Here at cheesylovesongs, we do not wish to hurt sensitive souls. If you really don't like to see dead bunnies & blood, don't watch the video below.
Dream City Film Club was a very underrated band from the 90's - the frontman Michael J. Sheehy is, I believe, still recording. Here's a website if the band interests you : www.dreamcityfilmclub.com
(embedding disabled by youtube, click on the cover)

as I watch you sleeping
gently feel my way
into your dreams love
gently feel my way
you are so beautiful
I'd die to taste your kiss
I would give my (??) dear
for just one hour of bliss with you
they can tear me to pieces
they can break me in two
lover I don't care
as long as I'm with you
I'm not afraid, no
take my chances
and if I die I die

Neil Young - Harvest Moon
1992.
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleeping
We could dream this night away
But theres a full moon rising
Let's go dancin in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

Saint Etienne - Kiss and Make Up
I was searching for the original of this song by the Field Mice on Youtube when I stumbled across this cover. I think it's not bad, and I like the video.
Without beforehand thinking
sometimes I say things
I could never hate you
I could never hate you
I do not mean one
word of what I say
I don't hate you
I don't, I do not
Let's kiss and make up
let's kiss and make up
Let's you and I
kiss and make up
Let's kiss and make up
let's kiss and make up
Let's you and I
kiss and make up
Without beforehand thinking
sometimes I say things
I could never hate you
I could never hate you
I do not mean one
word of what I say
I don't hate you
I love you
Let's kiss and make up
let's kiss and make up
Let's you and I
kiss and make up
Let's kiss and make up
let's kiss and make up
Let's you and I
kiss and make up

Morrissey - Whatever Happens, I Love You
This place is not dead... We're just incredibly busy women.
For example, just yesterday, we went to a Morrissey concert.
So here's a song, I couldn't find anything else than a live version.
"oh, yes, yes, yes"
Names, secret names
But never in my favour
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
Cold loving prose
We stole each other's clothes
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
Yes, yes, yes, oh, yes
Oh no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh ...
Yes, yes ...
Fights for rights
Everyone's oh so quick with advice
And when they've all said their piece
It's still you I love
Now just like then
Then, then, then
Then, then, yes, yes
No, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, oh ...

Antony and The Johnsons - Cripple and the Starfish
The lyrics are marvelous...
plus, I really think this is a song that stands out on it's own.
Proof that romantism is not dead - or whatever makes this song so fabulous.
Mr. Muscle forcing bursting
Stingy thingy into little me, me, me
But just "ripple" said the cripple
As my jaw dropped to the ground
Smile smile
It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain
And bruises
Yes, so Cripple-Pig was happy
Screamed " I just compeletely love you!
And there's no rhyme or reason
I'm changing like the seasons
Watch! I'll even cut off my finger
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!"
Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
And he checking time did punch me
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy
I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very happy
So please hurt me
I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very very happy
So come on hurt me
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
Like a Starfish...
