That smitten feeling...

Greeker
By Greeker

I aint particularly feeling lonely or heartbroken or anything, but somehow or the other i have come to love this 1980 song by Albert Hammond.

I dont know if its the orchestration of the music or the powerful, beautiful, moving words. I have never heard of this singer, but he is a dude. I can tell you that.

This message might possibly qualify as spam ( I dont know coz i havent posted anything like this so far). If it is, i profusely apologise, this was one of those things that i did instinctively.

{If soemone has heard of this song and know some history about it, kindly share it with me. I cannot find anything on wikipdia and i am quite smitten by it.}

Do i see some enlightening words coming my way?

WHEN I'M GONE
(Hammond / Payne)

The Fortunes -
Albert Hammond - 1980
Rockell - 1998

When I'm Gone
Would you take good care of everything
Will you keep wearing your wedding ring
When I'm gone

And when I'm gone
Will you take down all the photographs
Where we spent our warm and tender laughs
When i'm gone

Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
Will your keep me in your dreams?
In your heart, in your life
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending i'm still holding you.
And even when I'm far away
In dreams we'll stay...and someday
After we've all chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me

When i'm gone
I'll be thinking 'bout you constantly
'Cause you're locked inside my memory
>From now on

And I know
That we said we needed time apart
Would your love keep pulling at my heart
But it's strong

Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
Will your keep me in your dreams?
In your heart, in your life
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending i'm still holding you.
And even when I'm far away
In dreams we'll stay...and someday
After we've all chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me

Some times I wanna run to you
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Just like lovers do
Sometimes I wanna run to you
