And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will,

Alive in eternity,
That nothing can kill.		-- Jackson Browne

And may you stay...
Forever young.			-- Bob Dylan

Once upon a time,
In your wildest dreams.		-- The Moody Blues

and humans aren't perfect builders of log tables.

Can anybody find me...somebody to love?		-- Queen

And you can have this heart to break.	-- Billy Joel
