Bob Dylan's, "Ramona"
The Lyrics:
Ramona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes. The pangs of you sadness will pass as your senses will rise. Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss as to be by the strength of you skin
Why:
Almost every line and verse of this song is filled with alliteration. But the most amazing thing is that the alliteration does not in any way take away from the meaning and beauty of the lyrics
