Lyrics:
I guess the dance is over now
So you just curtsey and I'll bow
And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
Then I'll just take what's left of me
Right back to where it used to be
And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky
I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins, no
The castles that you built so high
Were just too steep for me to climb
And I guess these dirty streets of mine
Were just too rough for you
I wish I could've helped you see
Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true
And I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins
Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
No you never got to hear those violins

Timeless 70s songs. We knew the decade was good, for sure, But it was much more than that.

[sonia]

I bought 'Sylvia's Mother' when it was a hit, and I was a teenager. But browsing You Tube tonight I realise I'd forgorten just how MANY great sons the band had!

[jandolansky]

I'm Czech, but I'll try to say something: I've been listening to this band since 1974, I'm 66 today, it's a matter of my heart. Thank you for your attention.

[RioBow]

Criminal how this band has been overlooked.
It's what's called lightning in a bottle.

[RonnieMain]

This is just stunning, takes me back 4 decades! Oh, they really don't write then like this anymore!

[donaldlove]

One of the best bands from out of the 70s.

I am presently going through a divorce and this song resonates big time! Remarkable!!

[billijomccallum]

My dad's favorite band, ❤️ the most beautiful love songs ever. I was fortunate to meet Ray at a county fair in oregon and see him live it was phenomenal they were my first crush especially Ray, growing up not a soul knew who they were cds were impossible to find unless ordered from across seas and took a month or two to get. Anyways I'm just so happy people know and love them as I do and my dad did.
