I seem to remember liking this song... Umm, yeah. Oh well, here it is anyway.
R.I.P. Rob......LYRICS: If ever I would leave you - It wouldn't be in summer. Seeing you in summer - I never would go. Your hair streaked with sun-light - Your lips red as flame Your face with a lustre - That puts gold to shame! But if I'd ever leave you - How could it be in autumn. How I'd leave in autumn - I never would know. I've seen how you sparkle - When fall nips the air. I know you in autumn - And I must be there. And could I leave you running, merrily through the snow Or on a wintry evening - When you catch the fire's glow If ever I would leave you - How could it be in spring-time Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so Oh, no! not in spring-time - summer, winter or fall! No, never could I leave you - at all!

1982 (Shirley Bassey TV Special) LYRICS: You don't bring me flowers You don't sing me love songs You hardly talk to me anymore When you come thru the door At the end of the day I remember when You couldn't wait to love me Used to hate to leave me Now after lovin' me late at night When it's good for you And you're feelin' alright Well you just roll over And turn out the light And you don't bring me flowers anymore It used to be so natural To talk about forever But "used to be's" don't count anymore They just lay on the floor 'til we sweep them away And baby, I remember All the things you taught me I learned how to laugh And I learned how to cry Well I leared how to love Even learned how to lie You'd think I could learn How to tell you goodbye 'cause you don't bring me flowers anymore ...
You wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the john.

My love, forgive me,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with
me.
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Remember when we part, you'll have my heart,
I love you so.
It was just a slight flirtation,
That was all it was to be,
How could I know this fascination
Would turn to love for you and me.
How to tell you of my heartache?
How to tell you I'm not free?
How can I bear to see your heart break,
To see your heart break over me.
Amore scusami se sto piangendo
Amore scusami, ma ho capito che lasciandoti io
soffriro,
Amore baciami, arrivederci amore baciami,
E se mi penserai ricordati che amo te.
Ti ricordi quella sera che per gioco ti bacia?
Sembrava solo un'avventura, un'avventura in riva al
mar.
Ti baciavo nel silenzio, non volevo confessar,
Che stavo forse a poco a poco innamorandomi di te.
My love, forgive me ,
I didn't mean to have it end like this,
I didn't mean to have you fall in love, in love with
me,
My love, please kiss me,
Arrivederci amore, kiss me,
Though we're apart, you'll still be in my heart,
I love so, I love so, I love so ...Pd.
