| Patsy Cline | Life's Railway To Heaven | Opens with "Life is like a mountain railway / With an engineer that's brave." So clearly the words "railway" and "life" (but not the possessive "life's") are in the lyrics. But the word "Heaven" is nowhere in the lyrics, even though Heaven is variously alluded to as "paradise" and "that blissful shore". Nor do the lyrics ever come any closer (than those references) to including the entire title phrase. - Thessaly Danes | ||
