My brother just sent me a link to what I consider one of the most beautiful Pop/Rock ballads ever written. It is by Peter Frampton, “Lines on My Face”, as well as “I’m in You”…
Just wanted to share it with you. This is the live version. The original version is around 4:30 minutes.
Hope you like it… Lyrics are posted below.
Lines on my head from that one thing she said
She spoke of strangers that don’t sleep two a bed
Kept on trying, buying time,not waiting on fate
I somehow got the feeling that I opened my eyes too late
I saw where you came from
Called out your name
But there’s no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don’t need that
Lines on my face,while I laugh lest I cry
Speed city dirt and gritty waving me goodbye
Now there is so many people,my family of friends
Trying so hard to make me smile untill this heartache mends
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there’s no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don’t need that
Ice in her eyes,frozen tears would never be a surprise
You can’t erase a dream you can only wake me up
My mind is turning slower,never to accept defeat
It don’t matter where I live I still got a house to heat
I saw where you came from
called out your name
but there’s no answer
We lived on your doorstep
I made you my wife but I don’t need that

Another great song “I’m in You”
I don’t care where I go
When I’m with you
When I cry
You don’t laugh
‘Cause you know meI’m in you
You’re in me
I’m in you
You’re in me
‘Cause you gave me the love
Love that I never had
Yes, you gave me the love
Love that I never hadYou and I don’t pretend
We make love
I can’t feel anymore than I’m singingI’m in you
You’re in me
I’m in you
You’re with me
‘Cause you gave me the love
Love that I never had
You gave me the love
Love that I never had[Instrumental Interlude]
Come so far where you think of last fall
You can die but remain you and I
I’m in you
You’re in me
I’m in you
You’re with me
‘Cause you gave me the love
Love that I never had
Yes, you gave me the love
Love that I never had
You gave me the love
Love that I never hadI don’t care where I go
When I’m with you
