Famous quotes containing the word song:

    And that song ain’t so very far from wrong.
    Frank Loesser (1910–1969)

    Even their song is not a sure thing.
    It is not a language;
    it is a kind of breathing.
    They are two asthmatics
    whose breath sobs in and out
    through a small fuzzy pipe.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    you see, we live in a cold climate
    and are not permitted to kiss on the street
    so I made up a song that wasn’t true.
    I made up a song called Marriage.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
