What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Edorr, "You Don't Know What Love Is" is my favorite song. You stole my lyrics. That's OK, these are my second favorite lyrics.

Softly as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a newborn day

Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
A vow that all betray

For the passions that thrill love
And take you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let it fall to hell
So ends the story, and it began, "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise".

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, whatever you say: say, say, say.... say it with love! "

This one's from Karl Wallinger (World Party), who has a quirky sense of spirituality around some of his lyrics and generally steals his tunes from the best of the best (Dylan, Beatles, Stones) :

"Take It Up"

I got an extra glimpse
Of the truth today
Staring at my breakfast
When I thought I heard it say

Fighting is no good
Success, an empty lie
The treasure hunt is lonely
Until you realize

We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to raise it up
We came to take it up, we came to move it up

I promise you miss
I will do my best today
But somebody keep trying to make me
Trying to make me lose my way

But I believe, oh, my darling
I believe in you
And I hope when you hear this
You'll remember what we were sent to do

We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to move it up
We came to raise it up, we came to praise it up

Speeding out of the town
I thought I'd lost my way
'Til I saw the green and ebony
Come a-wondering about their pay

Well, I've got the money
If you've still got the friends
We can really put this world to right
Or sit and watch the end, you know

We came to take it up.....
