Yeah, I'm so old that my first-born is a teen-ager in love -- his first time, and my favorite line from his first-love anthem is:

I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her own ring tone
If that's not love then I don't know what love is
-- Gym Class Heroes, "Cupid's Chokehold"

And, for a blast from the past, my favorite line from my own '70s-first-love-anthem:

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start a-tremblin'
Whenever you're around
-- Carole King, "I Feel the Earth Move"

Nat King Cole:

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

This is such a fun thread!

I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
Places where I'm going to
And places where I've been
To have you there beside me
And never be alone
Because all the time that you're with me
We will be at home
- John Denver

Me and my friends in the park
Drinking beer underneath the tree
Lying on your back as the sun goes down
You know it's perfect cause you've got to leave
- Josh Ritter

The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all
- Indigo Girls

You're so vain
You probably think this song
Is about you
- Carly Simon

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
David Bowie "Changes"

The sweetest dream would never do

And I don't wanna miss a thing

I used to hold my preemie baby in my arms, while she was hooked to all those wires in the NICU and sing this song to keep myself awake.

Love this one, too.

Also from Aerosmith - "Life's a journey, not a destinaaaaaaation."

But the song IS about him. Right?

Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication.

"I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
but I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime."
-Big Country

"I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over?"
- Dixie Chicks
sputtered out in only two breaths, captured the emotional reaction to those events just perfectly

Love the Kinks' "Better Things" and the Pogues "Fairytale of New York" posted above, too.
