Well, at the obvious risk of being obvious:

and

"...and she's buying a stairway to heaven".

Take my hand and lead me, to the hole in your garden wall, and pull me through, pull me through.

Anyone else know and like this one?

To me, the absolutely most noticeable final line of a song would be in "Positively 4th Street:"

"You'd know what a drag it is to see you."

This is the day we greet.
This is the day, no other.

I was reading an review article that included this last line. The song is titled "Level Up". Vienna Teng wrote the song.

I like songs to end boldly and abruptly and not so much songs that dwindle out by playing the last line softer and softer over and over again. Often I will end a song boldly and abruptly even if the original song did not end that way. For example Neil Diamond's Holly Holy I end with a loud and bold "Holly Holy Love."
