I have so many that I want to add to my list, but I'll stop with just one more:

Flaming Lips, Do You Realize

  Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
  Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
  Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
  Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

  And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
  You realize that life goes fast
  It's hard to make the good things last
  You realize the sun doesn't go down
  It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

  Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
  Do You Realize - that everyone you know
  Someday will die -

  And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
  You realize that life goes fast
  It's hard to make the good things last
  You realize the sun doesn't go down
  It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

  Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
  Do You Realize
