The Alan Parsons Project
Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those i left behind
I wanted you to know
You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where i go
And oh when i’m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if i knew you
I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when i’m old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those i leave behind
I want you all to know
You’ve always shared my darkest hours
I’ll miss you when i go
And oh, when i’m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when i’m old and wise

As far I love Randy Crawford so much certainly I love all the songs she sings. But of course there are songs I love the most and one of them is this one.
Say I’m crazy
Cause I have to have you
Say I’m dreaming
Cause I wanna see this through
Say there’s no meaning to life
If I’m not with you
My love, my only love
Cause it’s you
Who will always be my first love
It’s you
Who first showed me who I really was
In you
My soul has found the one I’m searching for
It’s true, I adore you
Ref.:
Our love is like a merry go round
Sometimes it’s up
Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/randy_crawford/
Sometimes it’s down
Like the sun and the rain
Even good loves found the change
Boy you should know
Cause the love we have we shouldn’t let go
Now you can walk away
Go on without me
Or you can try to stay
And make this easy
Though it’s hard
If you really wanna be alone
It’s okay, okay
Ref.
It’s clear to see
Your heart belongs to me
I’ll always get by
With you in my life
Don’t you ever leave
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
I’m just… could hardly express my feelings. She is really fantastic girl!Orianthi (born Orianthi Panagaris 22 January 1985) is an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist.
I love this song very much but have heard it in perfoming by Randy Crawford.
Charlene sang it in far 1974. Charlene was christened by her mother under the name Charlene Marilynn D’Angelo, but later she shortened to Charlene for her record label. In 1973, Charlene signed with the legendary record label Motown Records under the name “Charlene Duncan”, and released her first single “All That Love Went to Waste” in January 1974. Charlene originally recorded “I’ve Never Been to Me” in 1976, and the single reached #97 on the USA’s Hot 100 singles chart in 1977. When released again in 1982, the single reached #3 in the United States (US), and #1, by June 1982, in the United Kingdom (UK). The song has been her only Top 40 hit as of 2010.
Charlene did three versions of the song, the initial version of which was actually the second version recorded. Her original (and ultimately most popular) version includes an expanded bridge, in which the singer makes an impassioned comparison between the noncommittal “fantasy about people and places as we’d like them to be,” versus the committed real love of a family
Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you’re a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I `ve no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Oh, I’ve been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…
Please lady please lady
don’t just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I’m all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won’t you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives
Oh, I’ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I’ve got
I’ve been undressed by kings
and I’ve seen some things that a woman ain’t s’pose to see
I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to me…
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It’s a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it’s that little baby you’re holding
and it’s that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that’s truth that’s love
Sometimes I’ve been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I’d be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I’ve been to paradise
but I’ve never been to me…
At eight o’clock we said goodbye
that’s when I left her house for mine.
She said that she’d be staying in
well she had to be at work by nine
So I get home and have a bath
and let an hour or two pass
drifting in front of my tv
when a film comes on that she wants to see.
It’s monday morning 5:19
and I’m still wondering where she’s been
’cos every time I try to call
I just get her machine.
and now it’s almost six am,
and I don’t want to try again,
’cos if she’s still not back
then this must be the end.
.at first I guess she’s gone to get
herself a pack of cigarettes,
a pint of milk, food for the cat
but it’s midnight now and she’s still not back.
It’s monday morning 5:19
and I’m still wondering where she’s been
’cos every time I try to call I just get her machine
and now it’s almost six am
and I don’t want to try again,
’cos if she’s still not back then heaven knows,
what then, is this the end?
At half past two I picture her
in the back of someone else’s car
he runs his fingers through her hair…
oh you shouldn’t let him touch you there!
It’s monday morning 5:19
and I’m still wondering where she’s been
’cos every time I try to call I just get her machine
and now it’s almost six am
and I don’t want to try again,
’cos if she’s still not back then heaven knows,
what then, is this the end?
