"Isn't It Time"

In the chorus of "Isn't It Time," there's the line "Every time I think of you" in which "every" is sung with three syllables rather than just two.  This gives a sense of enumeration, as if the speaker/singer is recounting the times one by one.

In the section after the second chorus, there's the line "We raise our glass to kindness," which is reminiscent of a line in "Auld Lang Syne."  In various versions, it's "We'll drink a cup of kindness yet" or "We'll take a cup of kindness yet."  This line in "Isn't It Time" is far from identical, but it's the same general idea.
