Frankie Knuckles Presents Satoshi Tomiie - Tears (Classic Vocal feat. Robert Owens) - 1989 (4K/HQ)

As featured on the 1989 compilation album FFRR Classics Volume 2

A beautiful song and probably my favourite house track ever....

Lyrics:-

Look at me baby
I'm crying
Tears so many
Tears
So so many tears (repeat 8 times)
I am real good actor
This is a heavy road
Our love's a script and you carry total control
Like a clown and I've been smiling
Whenever people are all around
But when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
No one is left but me and you and all my tears
So many tears my tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
Tears
Regretting nothing but the pain
My heart my life my world is filled with rain
I'm drowning when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
No one is left but me you and all my tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many
Tears
So many tears, tears one word could wash them away
Baby I just want to step back and look at my eyes
I've been crying girl cant you see
Oh girl
That dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
Dripping and dropping, .
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place (all over me)
One word could wash them away (tears)
One word could take their place so many
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place (teeeaaarrrsssss)
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
You gotta come off that stage baby
Come on home and rescues me
I want you to sing for me girl
I want you to dance for me baby
Move that body for me
Come on baby
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place

Brings me back to the days of the "classic warehouse" parties in Toronto in the late 80's. Truly was the best time of my life. Dancing all night until the sun came up to this new post disco sound. No pills needed, just getting high on the fantastic music. I still at 51 listen to house music daily.

*As a kid in South Africa (1989) this is when i got introduced to Robert Owen's voice! Shout out Frankie Knuckles RIP*

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, FRANKIE! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU! <3

One of the greatest house tracks ever made. Everyone else was doing the acid thing then the def mix people and Larry Heard released some sophisticated shit. Outstanding

[siphiwemsasa]

So much is happening in my life right ...and today i played this jam and i realized how much i lost myself trying to love someone ungrateful....am letting go n going solo to find me again...what a song❤

[StrobeSteppa]

Nostalgia is a fine thing - Everyone lives through theirs and this one belonged to us. 89' crew where you at?.. Played at absolute every dance venue, pub, underground in 89's etc. This was the track that everyone fell in love with when they first heard it. Real house vibe loveliness sung by the most angelic voice that house music gave us, Robert Owens. Absolutely love n tears on the dancefloor when this baby got played.. This was my time, my music, my true love.... forever and ever I thank you for giving me such wonderful memories.. xxx

[ricklee]

One love to all from Rick east London to Australia and Essex all let's go😊

I was a young teenager when I first heard this track at a warehouse party.... would've been 1991 in Toronto, Canada. Paid $5 for entry and got a couple beers. I remember being overwhelmed by the emotion that was unleashed by the crowd when this track dropped. Must've been played at least 4 times that night and every-friggin'-time it dropped.... the dance circles broke out... baby powder on the floors and the slides and sigh. Best times of my life. Frankie legend.

Lucky to of heard this played by the man himself live, great days.

[msake]

Every time I hear this song. .It does something to me. I feel like just free style dancing
