Now your turn.

'when we first met...'

'when I hold onto you'

Honest opinion, I think you're making it too hard. Not enough content of the lyrics to differentiate between songs.

For example, I listened to a version of "You send me" today, and I didn't get the song, from the snippet provided.

Good luck though, interesting concept.
