Another lyric quiz!
What? Another lyric quiz from me? Yeah, whatever, I decided to pull together another one just in time for Christmas. I hope y'all are enjoying all your new presents and the time you get to spend with your families and loved ones. But if you happen to wander here to LJ, here is a lyric quiz to tease at your memory. As a couple of others have done lately, I'm going to keep all replies screened until I reveal the answers in a week or so.
Please give the title and artist*.
*Exception: If a song is from a musical, you may give the song title and either the composer or the title of the musical.

* Answered by TwylaFox.
4
Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices linger in us all.
Haven't you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger

* Answered by symphonic_rp, and TwylaFox.

Do you remember, there was a time, ahaha

Days would last forever
* Answered by sumatrae, steviemaxwell, and TwylaFox.

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home

7
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
* Answered by RJ (my son).
8
I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door
And now that I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"
* Answered by TwylaFox.
9
So sure she was like a brother 'til you dropped another
So sure you kept it under covers until you knew you laughter (loved her?)
Now you can't think straight because you're not straight
In the back of her mother's car, in the back of her mother's car
* TwylaFox gave the correct title and a cover artist I wasn't familiar with (Hey Paul). No one got the original artist (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart). I thouthg some of you might know this one since the music video has a bunch of fursuiters in it.

What can I do, I'm falling in love
I'm just an old hound dog, roaming around, oh Lord
I got all this and heaven above

But darlin' how could you have known
* No one got this one.
14
He reached for the trigger to put him tight
Why he didn't shoot well we'll never know
