This is one of my favourite songs and was written back in 1983 and it has taken this long to finally release it and now you can find on Spotify, Amazon Music.iTunes.
I was asked about this song recently and it made me think about why this song still resonates with me to this day. I think that we all live with so many regrets. Years pass and yet the dreams bring the dead to life. The past has gone and we move on and however much we go on with our lives, the past has it’s claws in us. We’re we blind to why things didn’t work or do we just take the option that everything was just our fault. People become a part of us, they influence who and what we are. Just look how people change when they are with a different partner. But in those quiet moments don’t you feel that you wish that you could turn back the clock and the happy times that you had could come back?

Verse 1
Lately I’ve been feeling down, 
its not having you around that makes be sad
because as time went on you became a part of me 
and now that part of me has gone and I feel so bad.

Chorus
I can’t let go, you know I love you so and I need your loving darling oh so bad.
Won’t you please come back?

Verse 2
Well your are on my mind both night and day 
and its driving me crazy. I can’t stand the pain.
Well I don’t know why you left was it something that I said?
its not knowing that I can’t stand.

Mid
No I can’t stand it,
just living without you.
But there is nothing that I can do.
So won’t you please come back?

Chorus
I can’t let go, you know I love you so and I need your loving darling oh so bad.
Won’t you please come back?

Verse 1 (repeat)
Lately I’ve been feeling down,
it’s not having you around that makes be sad.
