With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks, you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.

There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time.

Frank [Sinatra] sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I've always wanted to sing to somebody. I would have gotten that subliminally from Frank many years ago. Hank Williams did that, too. He sang to you.

In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.

I make my stand and remain as I am, and bid farewell and not give a damn.

The walls of pride are high and wide, can't see over to the other side.
