All souls last forever
So we need never fear goodbye.
Williams quotes
We're old souls in a new life baby.
They gave us a new life
To live and learn.
Williams
In time, we kiss — hello!




Williams Paul quotes
Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run.
Williams Paul
Our paths have crossed and parted,
This love affair was started
Long, long ago.
This love survives the ages
In its story lives are pages
Fill them up, may ours turn slow.
Paul Williams quotes
Our love is a strong love, baby.
We give it all
And still receive.
Paul Williams
The best part of being a songwriter — beyond being able to make a living at it — is what I call the "heart payment" of a song. That's when somebody comes up after a concert and says, "My mom was a single mom, and 'You And Me Against The World' was a really important song to us." Or "We got married to 'We've Only Just Begun'" or 'Evergreen.' Or "'I Won't Last A Day Without You' got me through some hard times.'" That's heart payment for a songwriter.
Williams Paul quotes
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Williams
Our love is an old love, baby.
It's older than all our years.
I have seen in strange young eyes
Familiar tears.
Williams Paul
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.
Paul Williams
We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.




Paul Williams quotes
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, we've just begun.
Paul Williams
I think the trick for any songwriter is authenticity. For the young songwriter coming up who is connected to his generation, as I was connected to mine, write honestly about what's going on in the center of your life. You know, when "We've Only Just Begun" was a Number 1 record, I think the Number 1 album in the country was "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." So it was as far away from what was happening in the music scene as you can get. And yet it was a hit. I think it was a hit because of, obviously, Karen's amazing vocal, but I think that any time we write authentically and honestly about what's going on in the center of our chest, because people are so much alike, there's a big a chance that it's going on in the center of your chest, too.
