Another verse to help 😊

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
Oh, I
I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness
And I

I'm sure this has been on before, but it seemed like a cheery lyric and I was listening to it earlier..
No one should go through hard times
No one should live in sorrow
Got to lift your head up high
Got to face the darker skies

Ah, You to me are everything. ?

I don't think it's that . Similar lyrics

I would take the stars out of the sky for you
Stop the rain from falling if you ask me to

Tell me why Everything turned around Packing up Shacking up is all you want to do 1970s
Go you own way, Fleetwood Mac. From the Rumours album, which documents a time when all the relationships were becoming horribly broken and entangled.

@ThatLibraryMiss Yes, well done 👍😊

The wind blew through my hair
Once I was young
I'd shelter from the sun
Once I was smart

Very early 80s

@CoffeeBeansGalore

I’m ashamed to say that I googled it this morning Blush It was driving me barmy.

This song was covered by a person who also duetted with the original singer.
Now I’ve got two songs overlapping as an ear worm Confused ( the one I thought it was and the true answer) and it’s more annoying that not knowing if you see what I mean. Grin

@Daffodil1967 😄😄😄. I've set a few earworms, sending people off to bed with the Spitting Image chicken song & Wombles - Underground, overground Wombling free 😁.

Honey
Don't leave me now
With my head on my shoulders wrong
Have I done something wrong for you to leave?
I know I've been careless, girl
And I must apologize

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/10/2020 15:14

@shinynewapple2020 Correct, If ypu let me stay 😊👍

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
1970s

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
1980s

@CoffeeBeansGalore your first is Layla Eric Clapton and your second is Never Can Say Goodbye which was originally The Jackson Five but I think you are looking for The Communards?

TwigTheWonderKid · 10/10/2020 15:53

I know a guy who's tough but sweet
He's so fine, he can't be beat
He's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
80s

CoffeeBeansGalore · 10/10/2020 16:36

@TwigTheWonderKid Correct to both 😊👍
