Still outstanding from earlier. Added some lyrics which will give it away.

Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under

This just popped into my head/

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

70s

Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow

Good morning

All 80's 😊

I often wonder how it could be - you loving me -
Two hearts in perfect harmony.
I'll count the hours until that day
A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me.

I listen to our favorite song playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know?

I'd do anything for you,
I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do,
don't let it slip away

90s
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

Said a small boy once asked, When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
