Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,

Additional quotes by Hal David

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, for at least, until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa,
Ah, only one day away from your arms;
I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And I can never, never, never … go home again.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go,
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow.
