Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I would not leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair. [...] I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.

Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.

I tell the audience every night, "I hope you didn't pay more than face value on that ticket, because we ain't worth more than that, and you ain't gonna get any more than that."

Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on / They never die, that's how you and I will be

We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams. We're all carried along, by the river of dreams.

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
