There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness.

If you said good-bye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write.

I was thinking of the Four Seasons, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and when I was thinking "Uptown Girl!" I was trying to sing like Frankie Valli. They had a song called "Ragdoll," which was about a poor girl and a rich guy. So I just flipped it around and made it about a rich girl and a poor guy.

This is our moment, here at the cross-roads of time. Time is relentless and as the past dissappears, we're on the verge of all things new.

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known.

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

There will be other words some other day; that is the story of my life.
