Best Opening and Ending

What are the best anime opening and ending themes/songs?

What kind of opening and ending themes do you prefer? Instrumental or are lyrics ok for you? If you have a fave that has lyrics, you can post them as well

Speaking of opening themes the best by far is Gankutsuou's We Were Lovers. The author of this great song is Jean-Jacques Burnel, formerly Strangler's bassist/vocalist (for those who don't know, the Stranglers are a 70s-80s British band, but I think they are still "active"...?). Well, Gankutsuou's soundtrack is substantially Burnel's work. The opening in particular is a gem. Anyway, the whole opening credits sequence is really beautiful, it's worth the whole show IMO.

Here are the lyrics

We Were Lovers

Harsh words were said
and lies were told instead
I didn't ever mean to make you cry
But love can make us weak and make us strong
and before too very long
I was totally in love with you
I bathed in you
Lost in you, captivated by you
Amazed by you, dazed by you
Nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong

So tonight I'll sing
a song to all my friends
Also to those we won't be seeing again
To those I knew and those I still adore
and I want to see once more
I just pray that you will love me
and trust me
Laugh with me and cry with me
spend those silent times with me
Love me evermore
Love me evermore

You and I were lovers
Our dreams were not soured by life
And then my friends' betrayal
meant you never would be my wife

Harsh words were said
and lies were told instead
I didn't ever mean to make you cry
But love can make us weak and make us strong
and before too very long
I was totally in love with you
I bathed in you
Lost in you, captivated by you
Amazed by you, dazed by you
Nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong

As for ending theme I am less sure, you caught me in a blank moment... I have to think more about it before picking some title
