“In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me.
You took pity on a lonely man
When you said you'd stand beside me.
I'll never forget you
Or what you've done.
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone.I've got so much love to give you.
Baby, I've got so much love to give you.
Girl, there's more than enough to last a whole life through,
And it's all for you.”

“Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay.”

Bob Seger (1945) American singer-songwriter

The gipsy girls are here;
And it's O to be off and away from the town
With a gipsy for my dear!”

“You were the best fun I ever had
You gave me a love that couldn't be bad
You taught me things that I thought were rude
Oh, ohhh, you were the best girl I ever knew
(You were the best girl I ever knew)
We were a couple so much in love
We gave to each other over and above
You made my life and I'm glad
Oh, ohhh, you were the best fun I ever had
You were the best fun I ever had”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

“So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl.”

Van Morrison (1945) Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician
