I would like the lyrics also, if any one out there knows them. I recall this song when it first hit the charts(telling my age) It was always one of my favorites, but couldn't find anyone who had heard of it, much less find it. I think it topped out at no. 14 on Kansas City's W.H.B. Thanks for posting!!!
