Quotes

  • People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one.And we've only just begun,Think I'm gonna have a son.He will be like she and me, as free as a dove,Conceived in love.Sun is gonna shine above.And even though we ain't got money,I'm so in love with you, honey.And everything will bring a chain of love.And in the morning, when I rise,You bring a tear of joy to my eyes,And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
  • So help me if you can, I've got to getBack to the house at Pooh Corner by one.You'd be surprised, there's so much to be done.Count all the bees in the hive,Chase all the clouds from the skyBack to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.
  • Your mama don't danceAnd your daddy don't rock and roll.Your mama don't danceAnd your daddy don't rock and roll.When evening rolls aroundAnd it's time to go to town,Where do you goTo rock and roll?
  • I wanna sing you a love song.I wanna rock you in my arms all night long.I wanna get to know you.I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home.
  • Now I know my life has given me more than memories.Day by dayWe can seeIn every moment there's a reason to carry on.Sweet love's showing us a heavenly light,I've never seen such a beautiful sight.See love glowing on us every night.I know forever we'll be doing it.
  • She had a place in his life,He never made her think twice.As he rises to her apology,Anybody else would surely know.He's watching her go.But what a fool believesHe seesNo wise man has the powerTo reason away.What seems to beIs always better than nothing,And nothing at all.
