    'Shower The People' by James Taylor. Better than any Kingdom melody ever written!

    This is one of the most loving, most heartfelt songs ever written, IMHO.

    You can play the game and you can act out the part
    Though you know it wasn't written for you
    But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
    Ashamed of playing the fool
    One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
    Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
    If it feels nice, don't think twice

    Just shower the people you love with love
    Show them the way that you feel
    Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
    Shower the people you love with love
    Show them the way you feel
    Things are gonna be much better if you only will

    You can run but you cannot hide
    This is widely known
    And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
    When you're all by yourself alone
    Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
    You can feel it beginning to ease
    I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
    Always getting the grease.

    Better to shower the people you love with love
    Show them the way that you feel
    Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
    Shower the people you love with love
    Show them the way that you feel
    Things are gonna be much better if you only will

    Shower the people you love with love
    Show them the way that you feel

    You'll feel better right away
    Don't take much to do
    Sell you pride
    They say in every life
    They say the rain must fall
    Just like pouring rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Love, love, love is sunshine.
    Oh yes
    Make it rain
    Love, love, love is sunshine
    Yeah, all right
    Everybody, everybody
    Shower the people you love with love

    James Taylor - Probably my favorite singer song-writer of all time; just about shading Paul Simon and Dylan. I would just love to see him live. Thanks for sharing.
