My favourite lyrics happen to be from a very okld song called Secret Love sung by Doris Day. They pull at my heart strings with a wistful yearning
ReplyDeleteI like that too, but my favourite would be 'If' by Bread: "If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?"
ReplyDeleteMy favourite lyrics are by Leonard Cohen - so many - but especially these:
ReplyDelete"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
