Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
She is my flower and she blooms for the one who loves her best.
Be calm in the face of all common disgraces.
If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.
It seems so lucky to just to have the right of telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight.
To wear the crown of peace, you must wear the crown of thorns.
I worked in a plant when I was 14 for two years. I always wanted to do the summer jobs. Honest to God, I always had to be doing something.
Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones broke on the music scene the summer I was in England. I can vividly remember hearing She Loves You in August 1963.
I would never have ever dreamed that I would get married again and then all of a sudden you meet somebody. That's the thing about life. It can be so unexpected.
Turning back the pages of my sweet shattered dream, I wonder if she'll ever do the same; And the thing that I call living is just being satisfied With knowing I've got no one left to blame.
I know that we're being inexorably taken over by the Americans. Without a doubt. I don't mean invaded or anything like that, just taken over. By degrees.
