"Long you live and high you fly, and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be."

Deserves its spot as top rated album on this site; it was my #1 for a long time, but I listened to it so much it lost some of its value. There's not a lot to say about it that hasn't already been said.
