I like first lines in songs, but only a couple come to mind right now.

"I'd give up forever to touch you." - "Iris," The Goo Goo Dolls

"She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette." - "Whiskey Lullabye," Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out

Yes its a couple lines. But it sends chills down my spine.
