  45. Dearest Darling

    I had to write to say
    that I won't be home anymore
    Cuz something happened to me
    while I was driving home
    & I'm not the same anymore
    Oh I was only 24 hrs from Tulsa
    Ah, only one day away from your arms
    I saw a welcoming light
    & stopped to rest for the night
    & that is when I saw her
    as I pulled in
    outside of the small motel
    she was there
    & so I walked up to her
    asked where I could get
    something to eat
    & she showed me where

    For the second time this week a song written by #HalDavid and #BurtBacharach. It was first made famous by #SandieShaw in 1964 and then a version by #NakedEyes became a top 10 hit in North America 40 years ago today.

    “I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
    And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be”
