To Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Basically every song written by Ryan Ross. He's a great lyricist. I especially enjoy Northern Downpour, When the Day Met the Night and Mad as Rabitts.
Also My Chemical Romance's songs have some great parts that convey an important message.

For example, i hope you dance( I can't recall the artiste): some of the words are I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, and I hope never choose the road of least resistance.
The other one is years go by by Vanessa Williams. The words are in our times of trouble we only had ourselves and when the sun would.... There are many more. Such songs help me to move on.

I actually always go with music that has lyrics that perfectly describes my mood. So I’ll go with Some Days since its lyrics is very relevant to those who are suffering in hardships.

You Will Be Found by Benj Pase and Justin Paul. It has nice lyrics. And also Remember by Josh Groban.

My favorite song lyrics are from Passenger's Let Her Go

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow, and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day, you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
"A bear knows seven songs and they are all about honey."

Sure. Spanish is a beautiful language as well.
