Now that we are older,
Our hearts have all grown up.
Just a little wiser,
But are we wise enough?
Watching imitations of the real thing.
You and I have both been fooled before.

But this time, we win.
Our ship has just come in.
Forget the past.
We've saved the best for last.

Now that we are younger
Than we were last night.
You can be my arrow,
I'll be your guiding light.
There isn't any danger we can't handle.

But this time, we win.
Our ship has just come in.
Forget the past.
We've saved the best for last.
Tonight entwined.
This love is genuine.
Forget the past.
We've saved the best for last.

We've both had enough of hesistation.
Didn't matter, didn't matter.

But this time, we win.
Our ship has just come in.
Forget the past.
We've saved the best for last.
Tonight entwined.
This love is genuine.
Forget the past.
We've saved the best for last.

    Smokey Robinson can still bring it. Teeming up with a new sax artist at the time to deliver a top hit.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
