some songs shouldn't be forgotten.

No wonder my heart is aching,
On the verge of breaking down...
The way we mistreat each other,
What we're becoming now...
Have we forgotten what love is?

Remember when love was patient,
Everything good and kind?
The feelings we felt together
As our souls entwined?
Have we forgotten what love is?

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs,
And love
Is both gentle and strong.
It can't be spoken or promised,
It has to be shown...
Have we forgotten what love is?

I heard the voice of a distant angel,
Reminding me and you
That love is not an expectation,
Or something we failed to do.
Have we forgotten what love is?

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs,
And love
Is both gentle and strong.
It can't be spoken or promised,
It has to be shown...
Have we forgotten what love is

Love has got a way of healing,
Using the hands of time.
Can even restore the feelings
Buried deep inside
Have we forgotten what love is?

'Cause love
Holds no record of wrongs,
And love
Is both gentle and strong.
It can't be spoken or promised,
It has to be shown...
Have we forgotten what love is?

the secret's already out...

... so burying this in a comment is kind of shabby. Not one word, zibblsnrt. Not one... cause fearghaill already beat you to it.


Cairsten's Rules for Slaying the English Language.

1. You may not break the rules of grammar until you know them.
   
   
2. You must understand that you are breaking the rules.
   
   
3. Breaking the rules can be done for fun or profit.
   
   
4. Breaking the rules is best done on purpose, for amusement.
   
   
5. If you must break the rules, break them horribly.
   
   
6. There are accepted ways in which the rules can be broken. Know them.
   
   
7. There is a time and place for everything, including language-slaying.
   
   
8. Any noun can be verbified.
   
   
9. Nounifying a verb is proper English and gets you no points.
   
   
10. Creating words is perfectly acceptable IF:
    * Your audience immediately understands your meaning.
    * Your audience suffers pangs of envy because they didn't think of that word first.
    * Bonus points if your new word gets lexiconified immediately.
    * You have succeeded perfectly if you later hear someone who wasn't in your audience use your word, without knowing the source or without realising that the word won't be found in any dictionary.
    *Eventual dictionarification is the ultimate accolade.
    
    
11. Language-slaying is not to be undertaken by the faint of heart or the uptight of spirit.
    
    
12. Language-slaying is not to be attempted as a time-saver. In fact, it is best if your new word is longer than the grammatically correct phrasing, yet is more apt.
    
    
13. Language-slaying is to be undertaken with egregious attitudinality.
