Underneath a starry sky
Time was still but hours must really have rushed by
I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes
I really should have gone
But love went on and on

— Jeff Lynne Discovery (1979)

More quotes by Jeff Lynne

At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I've made a record to please myself.

It's a livin' thing.
It's a terrible thing to lose.
It's a given thing.
What a terrible thing to lose.

A New World Record (1976)

I've got a ticket to the moon.
I'll be leaving here any day soon

Time (1981)

I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so it's a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like.

As I gaze around at these strangers in town, I guess the only stranger is me.
As I see what they've done to this place that was home, shame is all that I feel.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
