I can only ever find the lyrics, but I love this song.

Late at Night Lyrics

George Benson

Late at night

Late at night
when the feeling gets to hard to fight
he reaches for the phone
then stops himself afraid that he may find she's not alone


Late at night
she lies awake and holds her pillow tight
and cries his name out loud
but she would never ever call
the Lady's much to proud

two lost and lonely people
living apart and belonging together
regretting that they let each other go ohhhh
two sad and starving people
giving up the chance of forever
never letting one and other know
they still need each other so

late at night
waiting out the hours till its light
they know how wrong they've been
but both of them are caught up in believing
reaching out means giving in
so he hopes that he'll stop hurting
and she prays she'll be alright
and they both wait for the morning
late at night

two foolish frightened people
giving up a chance at forever
never letting one an other know
they still want each other so

late at night
waiting out the hours till its light
they know how wrong they've been
but both of them are caught up in believing
reaching out means giving in
and so he settle down to drinking
she takes another pill to keep from thinking
and neither makes a move to make it right
as they both wait for the morning
late at night

Here you are, Blizzie



As a truly extraordinary coincidence someone posted this on Youtube 5 days ago  - they must have been reading your mind.

One of Slinky's recent choices does it....

Good call, Blizzie



These 3 do it for me.

El Loro, I could kiss you!!!  


I didn't even bother looking on the yuobytube, as I've been searching for it for ages.

 Got me through some very bad times, and I came out the other end, fully healed!

Thanks folks.  Great stuff!
I wasn't sure if I explained it well in my opening post, (love songs which - for you - have a special passion and intensity.)

Judging by the responses,  that strong emotional power is evident.   Smashing!

I'm a 'happily' married woman, and it got me snogging El Loro, brisket!  

Yes I have noted that!        **wish there was a "tut-tut" smiley**
I think it is best if I monitor the situation for a while.

 Cosi, you caaaah!!


That's going to go in brisket's dossier, now!

This always does it for me....whenever I hear it I think of MrB.

Dodgy dress and hair sense in this video but this song always does it for me 

This one, by Gladys and her Pips.

Our Wedding Song....it says everything I want it to.

my three, but I have a zillion more 

 

 

A couple from me....first a slowed down ballad...not the normal Frank Sinatra type treatment of the song

*** grabs El Loro for another one ***

I love that Shania Twain one, too! 

2 more...poles apart they are though....


And any version of this...(including the Chas n Dave one)

I know it's corny but this one melts my heart.

At the moment its this one for me, i have sooo many over the last 10yrs but i'm having a brain fart atm

Oh God the Fratellis Whistle for the Choir kicks me right in the gut I love that band and that song!

I have loads of tunes that 'get' me, some because they take me back to a place and a time or a person, but a few off the top of my head:

** scribbles notes frantically**

"Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But Always"

Love the Hazel O'Connor one too....stunning in every way. As is Nothing ompares 2U....such a heart wrenching song.

HAZEL O CONNOR... the finest love song ever

Supes, you can't have Hazel and Shin Aid, and then forget poor Des!

Is that a love song  Rawky?
My! How times change. 

Well....you did say 'intense'
