A long time ago, I had a few lines of a song running through my head. a beautiful song from long ago, that drew a special feeling with their words. But I could not come up with a title. Nor could I come up with the artist, nor matter how long or how hard I tried.
I was in a chat with Moniet later that evening. I knew she was very familiar with many of the older melodies, so thought I'd try this one out on her. She was as stymied as I. I even tried searching using phrases of the wording I remembered in MSN search on the address bar & in the current MP3 download program. No luck.
Today, I was playing around with my complete & partial files in the MP3 download program I am currently using. I loaded all the files into MusicMatch & scanned through them, noticing a familiar but not so famous band & was a tad unsure of the one song I had, so played it. Here was the one song I was banging my head for days trying to figure out!
Lady

Look around, look up here
take time to make time, make time to be there
look around, be a part,
feel for the winter, but don't have a cold heart
And I love you best, you're not like the rest
you're there when I need you
you're there when I need...
I'm gonna need ... you.
A long time ago I had a lady to love
she made me think of things I never thought of
now she's gone and I'm on my own
but a love song has come into my mind
a love song, it was there all the time
So lady, let me take a look at you now
you're there, on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
"Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cos maybe I do."
Look around, come to me
I have no answers, but know where I wanna be
I look around, play a part
I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart
And I love you best, you're not like the rest
you're there when I need you
you're there when I need ...
I'm gonna need ... you.
So lady, let me take a look at you now
you're there, on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
"Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cos maybe I do,
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, lady I ... do..."
No, there's no special event or anything connected to this song. There's just something about it that connects with me when I hear it. I wish I had a place I could upload & link it to for you to hear it now. It's pretty & sweet. I was surprised today to learn that the band is Aussy! All I knew when the song came out was that it was good.
"Thanks for the memories!"
Fond Aloha, Bob Hope!

I HATE trying to find songs like that!!!!
Thanks for the visit SO! I found one of their sites, where I got the lyrics from, has all their songs! Now, their song 'Reminiscing' is bobbing in my head. LOL!
:Dhiya! how's the weather in hilo? did you get the thunder lightning show on friday & saturday? :D it's so hot & muggy here in waipahu ... we looked forward to going back to work today ... :cool:my poor #2 & #3 were at home, :cool: they probably turned on the a/c in the family room to cool themselves off ...
well, have a good tuesday ...
i'm sure he'll be missed....
Weather here's been miserable. Hilo yesterday set a new record high. I think it did today too. Sure felt like it anyway. I was in it & it certainly wasn't helping my temper any, since I have no AC in the Jeep, which we took on the trip to my son's follow-up appointment for several reasons. BLECH!!!! :mad: :frusty: :mad: :shutup:
Oh, yeah, Colleen, we did get some of the rumble-bumpers her. I only glimpsed some of the flashes out of the corners of my eyes & the thunder was heard from a distance, but it was definitely there!
Oh wow ... that song brings back a lot of memories from my childhood. It was one of my mom's fav's. I always loved it. Such a beautiful song.
Oh, read your guestbook
yeah that's sad about bob hope...
all those last pics by your son were taken from your car on the highway weren't they!! ha ha ha he IS a goofball
that's awesome though - gotta love family! how've you been??
Yeah, podfan18, they were. The wiper on his side doesn't work & it was raining on the way home. Loved the color effects with the drops! For a bit, the windshield dried & my son was disappointed he didn't get any GREEN lights. LOL! We hit rain again & I saw green traffic lights, along with our amber street lights, so hollered out to him to quick... get the shot! The rest of the trip was FLASH... FLASH... FLASH... FLASH... etc, as he tried to get an acceptable funny shot of himself. The cars around us musta thought we were nuts. Or worse! Like... maybe aliens... or the car was exploding from the inside!
My Dear Pikake. I'm afraid I cannot read the comments on your site because the background swallows them up.
