I love Dusty Springfield...her songs are classics and she sang them with such feeling and emotion. She sang the type of songs that give you goosepimples and you can't say that about many artists! Karen Carpenter is another favourite of mine...she had such a beautiful, distinctive voice. Two great singers sadly no longer with us.
The first lady of Britsh soul...the late, great Dusty Springfield.
You don't have to say you love me
When I said I needed you You said you would always stay It wasnt me who changed but you And now youve gone away
Dont you see That now youve gone And Im left here on my own That I have to follow you And beg you to come home?
You dont have to say you love me Just be close at hand You dont have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me I cant help but love you But believe me Ill never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory Life seems dead and so unreal All thats left is loneliness Theres nothing left to feel
You dont have to say you love me Just be close at hand You dont have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me
You dont have to say you love me Just be close at hand You dont have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me, believe me
Going back
I think Im going back To the things I learnt so well in my youth I think Im returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games To only pass the time No more colouring books No christmas bells to chime But thinking young and growing older is no sin And I cant play the game of life to win I can recall a time When I wasnt ashamed to reach out to a friend And now I think Ive got A lot more than just my toys to lend Now theres more to do Than watch my sailboat glide And every day can be My magic carpet ride And I can play hide and seek with my fears And live my days instead of counting my years Then everyone debates The true reality Id rather see the world The way it used to be A little bit of freedoms all we lack So catch me if you can Im going back
Close my eyes and count to ten
It isn't the way that you look And it isn't the way that you talk It isn't the things that you say or do Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine Or the music that's flooding my mind But never before have i been so sure You're the someone i dreamed i would find
It's the way you make me feel The moment i am close to you It's a feeling so unreal Somehow i can't believe it's true The pounding i feel in my heart The hoping that we'll never part I can't believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten And when i open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here
We were strangers a moment ago With a few dreams but nothing to show The world was a place With a frown on its face And tomorrow was just, i don't know
But the way you make me feel The moment i am close to you Makes today seem so unreal Somehow i can't believe it's true Tomorrow will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but i fear That what is happening to me Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten And when i open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here I close my eyes and count to ten And when i open them you're still here
