Unexpected musical partnerships that rocked the charts
Opening lyrics and choruses seem to get most of the attention from listeners. After all, these elements are what make many songs recognizable. But, sometimes, a song's closing line can be equally iconic. The ending of a song is as important as its beginning, and it too deserves our attention!
In this gallery, we recall some of the greatest closing lyrics of all time. Click through and see how many you recognize.
"Let the record shows I took all the blows and did it my way."
"All in all is all we are."
"The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb."
"Nobody loves no one."
"For we're like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind, wild is the wind."
"With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another, your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever, asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over."
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one."
"Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street. Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street."
"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."
"Every day discovering something brand new. I'm in love with the shape of you."
"If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find. Tell her she can look me up, if she's got the time."
"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
"And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."
"No matter what happens now, you shouldn’t be afraid/Because I know today has been the most perfect day I’ve ever seen."
"The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you've got to promise not to stop when I say when."
"And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state, I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late."
"His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street."
"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
"Power to the people no delay/to make everybody see/in order to fight the powers that be."
"Yesterday seems as though it never existed. Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye...Goodbye."
"Don't ever leave me, say you'll always be there. All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care."
"So for once in my life, let me get what I want/Lord knows it would be the first time."
"I'll tell my mother, I'll tell my father, I'll tell my loved one, I'll tell my brothers/How much I love them."
"It's a town full of losers/ And I'm pulling out of here to win."
"Take me out the club, take me out the trap. Take me off the market, take me off the map. I'm tryna hit the group chat and tell 'em it's a wrap."
"So gimme all your money, give me all your gold. Let's go back to Zuma Beach, I'll give you half of everything I own."
"Hold me 'til I die. Meet you on the other side."
