* 'Hot August night and the leaves hanging down and the grass on the ground smelling sweet.'
* 'I couldn't sleep at all tonight. And I know it's late. But I couldn't wait.'
* 'She was morning and I was night time. I one day woke up to find her lying beside my bed.'
* 'Stay for just a while. Stay, and let me look at you. It's been so long, I hardly knew you.'
* 'Sing a song. Sing a song of songs. Sing it out. Sing it strong.'
* 'Love you so much can't count all the ways I'd die for you girl and all they can say is 'He's not your kind'.'
* 'Money talks. But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk. And long as I can have you here with me.'
* 'And a day that's all wrong looks all right. And I love her, God knows, I love her.'
* 'Hitchin' on a twilight train. Ain't nothing there that I care to take along. Maybe a song to sing when I want.'
* 'I thought love was only true in fairy tales. Meant for someone else but not for me.'
* 'Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies. Got nothin' to lose. So you just sing the blues all the time.'
* 'Young child with dreams. Dream ev'ry dream on your own. When children play, seems like you end up alone.'
* 'Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her. Holding Jim, loving him.'
* 'Come back again. I want you to stay next time. 'Cause sometimes the world ain't kind when people get lost like you and me.'
* 'I remember when you couldn't wait to love me. Used to hate to leave me. Now after lovin' me last night.'
* 'Used to slip though every girl's hand like water. There never was one who could ever tie me down.'
* 'Far. We've been traveling far. Without a home. But not without a star.'
* 'Baby loves me. Yes, yes she does. Ah, the girl's outta sight, yeah.'
* 'It was the third of June. On that younger day, well I became a man.'
* 'L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time, and the feeling is 'lay back' . Palm trees grow, and rents are low.'
