"With or Without You" by U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tired
My body bruised, she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

Oh...oh...oh...

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

(extended version of this song):

yeah we'll shine like stars in the summer night
we'll shine like stars in the winter night
one heart
one hope
one love

with or without you
with or without you
i can't live
with or without you

with or without you...

Rae Ann-
Wow and holy shit. I just picked up this U2 CD to replace the vinyl I have finally gotten rid of and this song is the reason why. Brings back many bittersweet late-'80s memories of the epic love of my life who broke my heart but I will always love. Sigh.

I love this posting videos thing. I need to check out that website.

Also, thanks for a trip down memory lane.

This song has so much meaning for me. One of my closest friends used to sing this to/for me. We almost got together romantically, but fate pulled us different ways. There is still something there, though. I hate to admit that. I guess there always will be.

ellipsis, that timing is wild. I heard this on the radio and immediately posted it. Thanks for commenting. I hope it wasn't too bittersweet.

tayster, for some reason today the video isn't playing.

jenna, I think we all have someone in our lives like that. We can't have them but we can't live without them (in our minds, at least) either.

I always wanted to find a song that described my relationship with my wife. She was a fan of country - and I rock n' roll. I think I finally found it in this song. It's too bad because in an hour or so we are meeting to discuss the separation arrangements...goodbye Darlene, I will miss you
