I'm not a huge Blondie fan, tho the Best Of.. gets a regular spin round these parts, but Hanging is one of my very fave all-time bestest classicest singles ever. Of all time.

This one popped to mind immediately,...

I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingos

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, dear

The moon maybe high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I Only Have Eyes For You



Add the mood that the track creates, and this one is near perfect.

...more later.

The early stuff maybe. Thanx to my man Narada.

I can even swallow "one moment in time". And that is very hard to swallow.
