I miss your smile

There's nothing wrong

Correct SimplySteveRedux 👍

NeedToKnow101 · 29/07/2020 11:00

Come back @Honeyroar !!!!

1980s
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray

xsquared · 29/07/2020 11:30

@CoffeeBeansGalore your 90s one from the last page was What can I do by The Corrs

xsquared · 29/07/2020 11:32

@VictoriousSockPuppet

For anyone, but especially xsquared. I find this song similar, and love it just as much:

I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

80s

I don't think I know this one. I thought Sweet Child at first but it's not.
VictoriousSockPuppet · 29/07/2020 11:42

Oh, ok. None of the regulars will get it, (maybe Twig), so no point adding more lyrics.

Its skid Row - I remember you.

Nice romantic song

xsquared · 29/07/2020 11:51

@VictoriousSockPuppet Ah, I wasn't listening to Skid Row at the time.

I've got one:
What happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other?

The minute the band begins to swing it
He's on his feet to dig it
And dance the night away
Stop I'm spinning like a top
1970s

Can't seem to get your attention no matter how I try
I just want you to prefer me to the other guys
So when you looked at me, you only turned away
So I walked up beside you
1980s
