Subject: RE: The Best Song Lines EVER--For Us Newbies
I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they rob me
Of my sweetheart souvenirs

--John Prine, who else?, Souvenirs

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve

(ditto) Spanish Pipe Dream

Goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope when you dream, you dream of me

--Cliff Eberhardt, Goodnight

The presence of your absence follows me

--Pierce Pettis, You're not There

Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young

--needing no explanation

Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul

--Sarah McLachlan, Do What You Have To Do

If you want to be somebody else, change your mind

--Sister Hazel, Change Your Mind
