...because I can't remember anything useful enough for Google and it's driving me crackers.

It might be a bit obscure but got to be worth a try! Ok, it is a bit obscure and I can't remember any of the lyrics either...

It's a bloke singing to a woman who is going off to be with someone else. It's all about how much he loves her but basically hopes that she'll be happy. I'm pretty sure the new bloke isn't good enough for her. And I think they're enjoying their last few moments together.

That's about all I've got. It's not a recent song, but I'm not sure how old it is. It's got a bit of a ballady feel, possibly with a slight hint of country.

Help me MN! Please?!

He's not a screechy vengeful prick, just thinks he's better than the new guy.

Solo artist, no backing singers.

I'm pretty sure you've already given up and are just winding me up now Grin I'm trying not to wake the baby and DH with peals of laughter though. You've made my day to be fair. Thank you.

I don't know Tinsel. If I did I could type it in The Google and magic would happen. No idea on the tune either. But it's a real song. I found it one day on YouTube. It followed George with "I can't make you love me." I've even charged my old phone to see if it was on my old YouTube account history.

I need to go to bed. If anyone wanders in and has an idea please add it to the thread. I can peruse in the morning instead of cleaning the bathroom. Because priorities.

Very much here for an excuse to YouTube Bob Seger m.youtube.com/watch?v=-icuakaLS-A

ChristinaMarlowe · 01/05/2019 00:22

Run to him Bobby Vee? Guaranteed too old but I'm tired and want to guess! 😂 I'll have a go tomorrow, things like this drive me mad OP. Although it was much worse pre Google when you heard a song in the radio but missed the name. "Back in my day..."

NomNomNominativeDeterminism · 01/05/2019 00:24

And Dr Hook. Yes, it’s stretching the brief. Something to listen to while searching though. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7LXpnNKNxJI

No to all of the above. Appreciate all the input but I think I'm slowly resigning myself to never finding it. Sigh...
