She did indeed. This thread moves so fast - I thought I'd checked but there was another page.
NeedToKnow101 · 25/07/2020 21:13

@ThatLibraryMiss - yes!!

Ah, sorry, just responding to someone who asked for the song title when I only could give singer...so it was an explanation of why I couldn't give a title, which failed totally ! Sorry

No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
We don't stand a chance

No more tears
Donna Summer

Guesses re the Eurythmics aren't right I'm afraid for
"It can be strong and sudden and cruel sometimes"
Movie theme tune (just rewatched it with the dc!)

VictoriousSockPuppet · 25/07/2020 21:30

Hmmm. Willow.

I put it up because it's Barbara Streisand. But I think it's a duet, and I can't honestly remember who the other singer was, but I'm not sure it was donna summer.
I will check.

and it's called enough is enough.

Half a point, maybe

VictoriousSockPuppet · 25/07/2020 21:33

Yes, donna summer. 3/4 point!

Willow2017 · 25/07/2020 21:34

Ok...I think you’ve worked out who it’s by - these are the entire lyrics, minus the title.

Xxxxxx am I deceived or did you sigh?
For all I know you let you love light
Shine on me
Xxxxxx you never close, who's got the time?
I can wait until your love light
Shine on me
Xxxxx seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
Xxxxxxx on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2020 21:46

I posted some lyrics on page 18 I’m so sorry I’ve not been back to update. Between my hectic work schedule as I’ve just returned to a very in demand job and an over dramatic almost 16 YO dd I’ve not had a great last few days.
Anyway. Here are my answers....

1 Salt n pepa push it
2 Soul 2 soul back to life
3 Jennifer rush the power of love
4 Sade smooth operator
5 Owen Paul favourite waste of time
