    It's actually a pet peeve of mine. "and" is a conjunction so starting a song with "and" connects it to nothing.

    That being said I'm sure there are lots of them

    My Love - Paul McCartney ".and when I go away"
    Walk Away Renee - Left Bank "And when I see the sign that points one way"
    Iris - Goo Goo Dolls "And I'd give up forever to touch you…"
    Mrs. Robinson - Simon & Garfunkel "and here's to you Mrs. Robinson"

    Others?

    "That's What Friends Are For" by Burt Bacharach (music) and Carole Bayer Sager (lyrics)

    "And I never thought I'd feel this way..."

    Carole had to stick the "and" in because Burt wouldn't modify the melody he wrote.

    Talking Heads 'And She Was'
    Though technically David Byrne shouts 'hey' before the first lyric
    'And she was lying in the grass
    And she could hear the highway breathing
    And she could see a nearby factory'

    "And I Love You So" are the first words of the Don McLean song of the same name, which became a hit for Perry Como.

    And they called it "Puppy Love" -- a hit for Paul Anka and later for Donny Osmond

    "And The Sun Will Shine" (1968), one of my favorite early Bee Gees songs, begins with Robin singing "And the rain will fall.."

    here's a live version from 1974:

    "And the rain will fall..." is the first line of the Bee Gees' song "And the Sun Will Shine."

    And I see I was beaten to it... great minds and all that...

    That's what I thought of first: a number of Beefheart's "count-ins" appear on his records.
