What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

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.

Regards,

Ed Ames? Good lord, you really pulled that one out of the archives! Okay people, fess up, who knew Al was such a romantic?
my current fave:
The weightlifter and a library tech you know
Made a big decision in the magazine row
I'll open my catalogue just enough to let you in
And she'll drop beers like you drop vitamins

"cathy's clown", by you am i
So glad you're gone
So glad you're gone
Please don't come back
Please don't come back

Sometimes you just have to say it...
"So Glad" from David Lynch's "Crazy Clown Time"
