What are your most memorable line in songs? :) In Nena's 99 Red Ballons, I choose "Everyone's a Captain Kirk.":) On a side note in the LuftBallons version, "Captain Kirk" is the only thing I understood in the German song.:)

My favorite line is from John Mayer's "Something's Missing". Well, actually it's a whole phrase, but it's so cool and very appropriate for this time of year:

Autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in, where it left you last
You never know
When it starts
Till there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart.

"My love is bigger than a Cadallac" Buddy Holly from "Not Fade Away"



"Baby if you ever loved me, then Bonnie & Clyde loved the law" Elvis Presley from "Wearin' That Loved On Look".

Whitney Houston's "Saving All my Love For You"

Lyric. "I'd rather be home feeling blue, because no other man's gonna do." That is heart pulling right there.....:) :(

"He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today."

(recorded by George Jones)

Romans V11

"The very things I hate, I end up doing. Thing's I wanna do I just don't do, Lord it seems so sad, why am I so bad, when in my heart I only wanna be like you. The very ones I love, I end up hurting. Ones I wanna help I pass right by, Lord I wanna be, finally set free, the grace you've shown, the love I've known, please let it shine through me. I wanna love them all, the way you do, I wanna serve them, by serving you." - Keith Green
