What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Gz

That lyric reminded me of another good one on the same subject (falling out of love). These lyrics are from "Buried Alive" by Kyle Davis:

In the lion's den, the quiet men
Sleep next to their fears
Praying not to wake them
But morning makes them disappear

And it feels like
Something has gone wrong
And he reaches up
For what he held for so long

I will not be
Buried alive under this mountain of emotion
I will not be
Saddled by the blame

There and back again
Trying to make amends
For a feeling that I fell for left me hallow
Losing lay down your only sorrow

It's the jester and the jest
The gambler and the game
Leave it to the rest
To gather what remains

I will not be
Buried alive under this mountain of emotion
I will not be
Saddled by the blame indigent to devotion

Why must I defend the way I feel
Just to change, it's not treason
In spite of all the things that I was told
There is not always a reason

Hi Blkadr,
I do that when I find a recommendation of interest in forums that recommend particular artists or songs. I just meant that in the context of just reading lyrics without music, I don't find it very satisfying or meaningful.

"Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains."

From Rollin' and Tumblin' off Dylan's Modern Times

The last couplet from Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street":

Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Sometimes in the mornin' when shadows are deep
I lie here beside you just watching you sleep
And sometimes I whisper what I'm thinking of
My cup runneth over with love

Sometimes in the evening when you do not see
I study the small things you do constantly
I memorize moments that I'm fondest of
My cup runneth over with love

In only a moment we both will be old
We won't even notice the world turning cold
And so, in these moments with sunlight above
My cup runneth over with love
My cup runneth over with love, with love

"My Cup Runneth Over, from the 1966 Broadway musical "I Do! I Do!" as recorded by Ed Ames.
