Some of my all time favorites are:
Jackson Brown-
"You keep it up, You try so hard
to keep a life from coming apart
And never know what breaches and faults are concealed
In the Shape of a Heart"
and when Jack Johnson sings....
"Theres no better combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing, But I can try for your heart
Our dreams and they are made out of real things,
Like a shoebox of photographs, With sepia tone loving
Love is the answer, At least for most of the questions in my heart.
Where do we go? And how come it is so hard..Its not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving but Ill tell you one thi
Its always better to be together"
Any of you have any great song lines that really move your heart and soul to better places that you would like to share with us?

"It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part (that) so much of me is made from what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. Whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine by being my friend."
This is from Wicked the Musical. It's from a song titled For Good, and this line was sung by Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. She said this line to Galinda, her best friend, when they were about to be separated from each other for the rest of their lives. It's such a bittersweet and beautiful story of two different girls who grew up to be the characters in the Wizard of Oz. :)

ragenepalma . .thank you soooo much for this . .I love this Musical . it is one of my favorites!
and it made me think of my favorite song from it. I'm actually listening to it right now!
[i]"As Long As You're Mine"
Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Uner Your spell
and somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell[/i]
Happy Lotting To You!

'Those school girl days of telling tales and biting nails have gone'by Lulu in To Sir with Love.
'Sorry seems to be the hardest word' By Elton John.
'Flying high, high, Im a bird in the sky
Im an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please'by ABBA in their Eagle album
And there are plenty of many more lines that always keep singing in my mind.

I have lots of favourite lines from songs.
i will indicate just two, that are wonderful for me:
from Rio by Duran Duran
"you know you're something special and you look like you're the best"
and from Poison by Alice Cooper
i wanna love you but i better not touch
i wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
i wanna kiss you but i want it to much
i wanna taste you but your lips are venomous
i love this song...
in a good way of course

Mine favorite has to be
"The smile on your face let me know that you need me,
There's truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me,
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall'
You say it best,When you say nothing at all"
-by Ronan Keating

my fav lyrics are from the song NO MATTER WHAt by TI
its like
life can change directions
even when u ain`t planned it
all u can do is handle it
worst thing u can do is panic
use it to ur advantage
avoid insanity,manage to conquer
every obstacle,make impossible possible
even when winning is illogical
losing is still far from optional
yeah they wanna see you shot up in the hospital
but when life throws punches,block ya counter like a boxer

Flying Without Wings by Westlife," (happiness)...for me is waking up beside you, to watch the sunrise on your face. To know that I can say I love you, at any given time or place."
