Any of the lyrics at the end of "Titanic." Beautifully poignant.

And after that I cannot say
I will not say
The rest in swarms will overrun the boat deck
They'll lose all sense of right and wrong
It will be every man for himself alright
The weak thrown in with all the strong
First class and third and second will mean nothing
And sheer humanity alone will prevail
One, single class
Brute, harsh and crass
That's what will come of the world that set sail
Autumn, shall we all meet in the autumn?
Shall we all meet in the autumn?

I can't believe so many people put stuff from "A Little Night Music" when it's the first thing that jumped into my head. Nice to know we're all on the same page

"Henrik... Who is Henrik?
Oh, that lawyer's son, the one who mumbles.
Short and boring,
Yes, he's hardly worth ignoring,
And who cares if he's all dammed--"
I beg your pardon--
"Up inside?"
As I've often stated,
It's intolerable being tolerated.
"Reassure Henrik, Poor Henrik. Henrik, you'll endure
Being pure, Henrik."
Though I've been born, I've never been!
How can I wait around for later?
I'll be ninety on my deathbead
And the late, or, rather, later, Henrik Egerman.
Doesn't anything begin?

It might be helpful to post the show and song titles from the lyrics you all are posting.

You're on the air
I'm underground
Signal's fading
Can't be found

I finally open up
For you I would do anything
But you've turned off the volume
Just when I've begun to sing

Come to your senses
The fences inside are not for real
If we feel as we did
And I do
Can't you recall where this all began?
It was only you and me
It was only me and you

I have to laugh
We sure put on a show
Love is passe in this day and age
How can we expect it to grow?

You as the night
Me as the queen
All I've got tonight
Is static on a screen

Come to your senses
Defenses are not the way to go
And you know
Or at least you knew
Everything's strange
You've changed and I don't know what to do
To get through
I don't know what to do

But now the air is filled with confusion
We've replaced care with illusion
It's cool to be cold
Nothing lasts anymore
Love becomes disposable
This is the shape of things we cannot ignore

Come to your sense, suspense is fine
If you're just an empty image
Emanating out of a screen
Baby, be real, you can feel again
You don't need a music box melody
To know what I mean

Deep in my eyes, what do you see?
Deep in my sighs, listen to me
Let the music commence from inside
Not only one sense, but use all five
Come to your senses
Come to your senses
Come to your senses
Baby, come back alive

-------------------------------------------

Okay, not the best ever, but it's my song right now, what I'm feeling, so that's why I'm sharing.

Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep
Someone to sit in your chair
And ruin your sleep
And make you aware of being alive

Someone to need you too much
Someone to know you too well
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell
And give you support for being alive - being alive
Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive.

Somebody hold me too close
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you of being alive
Being alive, being alive

Someone you have to let in
Someone whose feelings you spare
Someone who, like it or not
Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive
Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there
As frightened as you to help us survive
Being alive, being alive,
Being alive, being alive.

"The hands on the clock turn but don't sing a nocturne just yet!"

I'm so glad that this has essentially become a thread for A Little Night Music.

But I must post this as well:
Yes, she looks for me-good.
Let her look for me to tell me why she left me-
As I always knew she would.
I had thought she understood.
They have never understood,
And no reason that they should.
But if anybody could...
Finishing the hat,
How you have to finish the hat.
How you watch the rest of the world
From a window
While you finish the hat.

Mapping out a sky.
What you feel like, planning a sky.
What you feel when voices that come
Through the window
Go
Until they distance and die,
Until there's nothing but sky
And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick
Or the dog or the light,
How the kind of woman willing to wait's
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night,
Dizzy from the height,
Coming from the hat,
Studying the hat,
Entering the world of the hat,
Reaching through the world of the hat
Like a window,
Back to this one from that.

Studying a face,
Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window,
But to see-
It's the only way to see.

And when the woman that you wanted goes,
You can say to yourself, "Well, I give what I give."
But the women who won't wait for you knows
That, however you live,
There's a part of you always standing by,
Mapping out the sky,
Finishing a hat...
Starting on a hat..
Finishing a hat...
Look, I made a hat...
Where there never was a hat


Sigh.
