What's your favorite lyric from a song?

She showed me love a hundred ways 
How she pimped and how she paid 
All the daughters, all the sons 
All were welcome, all would come

How about a couple of Petula Clark lyrics to brighten up this Sunday evening?

This first one featuring these beautiful lines written by none less than Charlie Chaplin himself.

"Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there’s you"


and this second one from Who Am I is somewhat atypical of her usual style but no less charming for that.


"The buildings reach up to the sky.
The traffic thunders on the busy street.
The pavement slips beneath my feet.
I walk alone and wonder
who am I?

I close my eyes and I can fly.
And I escape from all this worldly strife,
restricted by routine of life,
but still I can’t discover
who am I."

Yeah ten thousand dollars, go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
Doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire

I heard the following on SiriusXM the other day. Touching lyrics, and sang very nicely IMO except for the part near the end when his singing verges on yelling.

At the end of a rainbow,
You´ll find a pot of gold.
At the end of a story,
You´ll find it´s all been told.
But our love has a treasure
Our hearts can always spend.
And it has a story without any end.

At the end of a river,
The water stops its flow.
At the end of a highway,
There´s no place you can go.
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine,
And our love will go on till the end of time.

"The End," Earl Grant (1958)

"I ain't never been with a woman long enough, before my boots could get old,
We've been together so long, they both need resoled,
Never said that I love you, even though it's so, 
It's a good time for me to head on down the road"
