Ah, this will drive us nuts! Please add the song that the quote is from.
Turning back the pages to the times that I love best. I wonder if she'll ever do the same. Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied with knowing I got no one left to blame Carefree Highway. Edited because Sir John is right, I did not finish.

Having heard Never Too Close several times in California and Nevada recently these two lines (I am not sure if they qualify as a "couplet" which I read is "A verse unit consisting of two rhymed lines in iambic pentameter" whatever that means when it is at home!!
Anyway the following lyrics have as Smokey wrote and the Beatles sang "really got a hold on me" i just love the sound these words make:- especially the second line "And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm " and Listening to "Triangle" brought back the pleasure of trying to visualise this couplet "A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said "There goes another sandbar"" John Fowles thinks I am going to compile a collection of my favo(u)rite lines (even one liners) to use in future as my signature |

I do not think Deb that that qualifies as a couplet with iambic parameters or anything else as it sure looks like a singlet/one liner to my old eyes (perhaps I am too tall??) John Fowles Now I get another go!!! Is this a quadruplet??? Apologies if it is!! "Then I remembered everything I've learned about survival Having walked with fools and kings, I've even read the bible There I came upon some lines giving me direction Gather not your gold on earth, it will not pass inspection" |

Your coat of green will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too But all too soon your mighty branches Will cease to hold her she'll fly from you The Way I Feel.... |

"I'm sailing down a summer wind,
I've got whiskers on my chin and I like the mood I'm in..." Oh, to be on a small boat on fresh or salt water, with your hand on the tiller and the sun and spray in your face. Now, that's better'n sex....or at least rarer and longer-lasting. |

Hi Rez,
How about: "I was stone cold sober that day last October When you reached across the table and put your hand upon my shoulder" To me the bleak mood in that song is reflected in those lines; listen to it....I think you'll see what I mean. |

"Triangle, triangle,
Oh see my ship dangle" |
There are so many it makes my head spin. But I'll agree with ClosetCanadian's choice from "On The High Seas":
"I don't want to own the key to some ghostly mansion where souls are set free..." Absolutely haunting. (and that goes for the melody.) |

There are so many -
I come to this garden, I come here to rest, Early each day upon risin' I think of my lost love, from over the sea, And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me. Oh heck, the whole darn song! But the creatures of evil, have captured her heart And that same old obsession, still keeps us apart. Brings out the true pain of a long distance relationship and not necessarily in miles! Thanks for starting this one Rex. |

Wherefore and Why
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore And you can see it if you try It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love You'll never know the reason why some things just can't be explained.... we just have to believe... Char |

This has always been a favorite.
"All I'm after is the sun and the summer nights By the seashore, don't want no more neon lights Just the sand and the sky as the hours roll by ..." As I get closer to retirement I find these words floating around in my head. :redface: ) |
The last time she kissed my cheek
Her lips were like the wilted leaves Upon the autumn covered hills Resting on the frozen ground The seeds of love lie cold and still Beneath a battered marking stone It lies forgotten <sigh> XXXO Monica :confused: |
