I'm not sure I really understand the meaning. I don't know if Boz then released his own version as a single based on that, or if people started paying attention to the original thanks to Rita. Maybe it was an album track or maybe it was a single, but not such a big hit. As far as I know, he was the original singer as he wrote the wong. I heard the Rita Coolidge version first, but I like his more. I'm also surprised only one other person commented so far. If need be, they can escape together in the quietness of a dream. Whatever bad story she has experienced, it doesn't need to be told, 'throw it to the wind' like roses, it will wither. The singer quiets and calms his worried companion. We're all alone, safe from the concerns of the outside world. It's about two people finding safety and comfort in each other. The LP didn't come with lyrics in the sleave.Âīut now that I read the song, I think the meaning is fairly clear.

Perhaps it was the phrasing, perhaps Boz's accent, whatever. Though I've listened to this song intently dozens of times, I could never understand the wording.


But when he heard this song in my house he was stunned. When I was teenager, I had a friend who insisted on playing only loud grating music by Led Zeppelin, and the like. One of the best off the magical Silk Degrees album. Things will never be the same without you… What did I do to deserve this I didn't even get one last kiss From you – oh baby God took your love from me He needed an angel so it seems I need to feel your hands all over me I need to feel you kissin me I need to feel you holdin me I need to feel your touch Cuz I miss your love so much And I… can’t keep on living this way I need you here with me Why would he take you away.General CommentA beautiful song by Boz Scaggs. I miss you so much baby… I just can’t go on baby Knowing it was just one week ago, stood there and took that pictureĭoes he know how much it hurts to be missing youīaby, I’m missing you… baby I’m missing you I can’t stop looking at those pictures on my shelf Just to prove to you, how much I need you hereĪnd there's no doubt that if I could take your place from heaven I'd go to heaven back over and over again Just to hear you say that you love me one last time Things will never be the same without you…Īnd I'll know I'll never hear your voice again
