What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
And I knew without asking she was into the blues.
I thought on 1 more that I have loved for decades!
devil in the deep blue sea behind me
vanish in the air, you’ll never find me
i will turn your face to alabaster
when find your servant in your master
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."
