From your lips to God's ears

Idiom expressing a wish that the desires of the person to whom the saying is spoken will come true.

The original, literal meaning of the saying indicates that the speaker wishes that whatever the addressee has just said will be heard by God and answered.

May be used sarcastically, in which case it is roughly equivalent to "good luck with that."
John: Hopefully, my investments are going to return 400%!

Mike: From your lips to God's ears.

BACON TO MY EARS

BACON TO MY EARS
When you hear a great song on the radio, and you love bacon, this phrase is appropriate. Similar to organasm of the mouth, or fiesta in your mouth, when you eat something especially delicious.

Wow, that song is bacon to my ears!
Yeah, I can smell, taste, and hear it sizzling now!
