“She prays to God most every night
And though she swears he doesn't listen there's a little hope in her he might.”

“Every day things change, but basically they stay the same.”

“Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you.”

“I am who I am who I am who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?”

“If at all God's gaze falls upon us all it's with a mischievous grin, look at him.”

“What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.”

“Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
And I do for you anything too.”

“Turns out not where, but who you're with, that really matters.”

“Come and relax now, put your troubles down.
No need to bear the weight of your worries, just let them all fall away.”

“I was just wondering if you'd come along,
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
I'll do the same if the same is what you want.
But if not I'll go… I'll go alone.”

“And when you wake, you will fly away, holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye, my love, into your blue, blue eyes.”

“Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die.”

“Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years or more if not for this?”

“Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around…”

“A rolling stone, that gathers no moss, but leaves a trail of busted stuff.”

“I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you.”

“Being a physicist, my father was a great believer in progress, but he also loved nature. He was a photographer, and outside of taking the occasional family photographs, all he did was photograph nature. He loved birds. That meant a lot to me growing up. Healthy progress also means we have to be concerned for the environment. That may have something to do with what I believe about farming.”

“Excuse me please one more drink.
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart, my Grace is gone.
One more drink and I’ll move on.
One more drink and I’ll be gone.”

“So why would you care
To get out of this place?
You and me and all our friends,
Such a happy human race.
Eat, drink and be merry,
For tomorrow we die.”

“The future is no place to place your better days.”

“Take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything.”

“I don't understand at best,
I cannot speak for all the rest.
But you may find a lifetime's passed you by.
Every dog has its day, every day has its way
Of being forgotten.”

“See you and me, have a better time than most can dream.
Have it better than the best, so we can pull on through.
Whatever tears at us… whatever holds us down,
And if nothing can be done, well make the best of whats around.”

“Don't burn the day away.”
