Dove sono:

Where have they gone,
my beautiful moments
of sweetness and of pleasure?
Where did all the sweet promises go,
uttered by those lying lips?
uttered by those lying lips?Why should it be that
if to tears and pain
now everything has changed
now everything has changed
that the memory of that
golden moment will not fade?
the memory of that golden moment
will not fade?

Where have they gone,
my beautiful moments
of sweetness and of pleasure?
Where did all the sweet promises go,
uttered by those lying lips?

Ah! At least
my constant heart
still loves this pain,
may it bring me some hope
of changing his ungrateful heart!

Volate, amori:

Fly, ye Cupids,
to celebrate the immense joy
of two loving hearts!
So great is our delight
that I know not how to express it,
I can only rejoice.

I am a 80’s music freak, so mine will come from that era:

Every Breath You Take (Police)

The Search is Over (Survivor)

Open Arms (Journey)

Faithfully (Journey)

Ok, Steve Perry rocks, so almost all Journey tops my list!

Oy! An 80’s freak and you forgot about “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin! 😃

Albeit not 80’s, I’d add “Baby I’m a Want You” by Bread

You know, I had it down there and removed it because of Top Gun. I thought I would catch flack supporting a song from a movie with actors of questionable sexual orientations. Still love the song and the movie.

I liked your choice, which then got the song, “Baby Come Back” going in my head (no clue who sings it).

Oh, and while thinking of my 1980’s crushes, “The Love Theme to St. Elmo’s Fire” and Spando Ballet’s “True.” Oh heck, I will even throw in “The Promise” by When in Rome.

Shouldn’t get me started! But do glad you did!
 
I’d give my opinions, but I like real Classic Rock, not this lame slow Rock stuff you seem to like. 😃 But break the rules as it may, Skid Row’s I Remember You is a great song.

Haha. I’m actually one of the most helplessly romantic guys you’ll ever meet. I just like to make jokes about soft Rock is all. 😛

Soft rock is a bit of an oxymoron, don’t you think? And I am a traditional sap who gets ribbed from her hubby because of that.
 
I know one that is probably the greatest power ballad ever recorded.

The original posting of this has over 20 million views on Youtube, but that one doesn’t have the sound quality I was looking for. So, I found a new posting of it, and I’ll put it here:

A real man would skip the “Classic” rock and go straight to Type-O-Negative. 😉

Beautiful - yet dangerous
Thermogenic luminous
Like a moth drawn to a flame - i’m the same
All cremated equally

As a spark - still i knew
I’ll be lured - be consumed
She a pyre - incarnate - incinerate
An inferno turned to flesh

Say the words - i long to hear
Pinch bite kiss suck lick and sear
In a pyromantic way - i’m her slave
Living for her to ignite

You are the first you’ll be my last - will be my final words
pyretta blaze
You are the first will be my last - will be my final words
pyretta blaze
etc.
Pete Steel was a man who knew how to live with a perpetual broken heart, and died of it in the end, I think. May God have mercy on his soul.

Rock is meant to be hard, yes. That’s why I prefer power ballads like I Remember You.

Classic Rock is the good stuff. This new age Rock is of the Devil. I will pray for your conversion. 😃
