More quotes by Paul Simon

And she said Losing love is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow.

Graceland (1986)

Maybe the heart is part of the mist.
And that's all that there is or could ever exist.

Who's gonna love you when your looks are gone?

I wanted to sing other types of songs that Simon and Garfunkel wouldn't do.

You'd better keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool.
