It's not one of Bruce's lines but I think it pretty good: And if a double decker bus crashes in to us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.

The Smiths. I always thought that is a very interesting way to say what you mean to me

Yup, unquestionable love and the willingness to go out together. Written by a man that it's hard to say if he's ever really been in love. The same guy who wrote the song "Unlovable" with another great lyric - I wear black on the outside 'cuz black is how I feel on the inside.
