re: Best line or two of lyrics ever....

That is a great lyric, pw. I remember when that song came out, I heard it and thought to myself, "that's is so simple and so powerful at the same time."

Before you cross the street, take my hand.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

John Lennon "Beautiful Boy".

I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you.

The Pretenders "I'll Stand By You".

I've seen your flag on the marble arch.
Love is not a victory march.

Rufus Wainwright version of "Hallelujah".

I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you.

Jim Croce "Lover's Cross".

And if California slides into the ocean,
Like the mystics and statistics say it will.
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I pay my bill.

Warren Zevon "Desperados Under the Eaves"

And of course:

Hold me closer, Tony Danza.
Count the head lice on the highway.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin
