Might as well be on the first page.
“I like big butts and I cannot lie,
You other brothers can't deny.”
“I like big butts and I cannot lie,
You other brothers can't deny.”
"If I don't see you no more in this world I'll see you in the next one. And don't be late...don't be late."

Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
(I tear up every time I hear this song.)
Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
(I tear up every time I hear this song.)

She knows who she is, and I miss her terribly.
Hoobastank - The Reason (last 3 stanzas)
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Rubber duckie I’m awfully fond of youuuuu!”

One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other

You will see joy in this sadness
You will make some sense of this
When you’ve made your secret journey
You will find this love you missed

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this gray
All things must pass
All things must pass away
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this gray
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Every day’s like Christmas Day without you;
It’s cold and there’s nothing to do.
“Come on Home,” Everything But the Girl

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in
But if the sweat pours out, just shout
I'll try to swim and pull you out
But if the sweat pours out, just shout
I'll try to swim and pull you out
