Boston - Amanda (1986, USA # 1)

Good mid-late afternoon my Brothers and Sisters!

It has been a trying few days for me with a medical procedure that left me kind of weak but I am getting back to normal (whatever normal is these days.) I haven't posted any music for a while, so am bringing you a short Music Interlude, which I hope you all enjoy! I chose a song from the rock band 'Boston' titled "Amanda", written by Tom Scholz and I believe you will enjoy it...

About Boston:
Boston is the capital of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its largest city, and is one of the oldest cities in the United States.

LYRICS:

Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside
Another day
Knowin' I love you
And I, I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Would you turn out the lights
And walk away knowin' I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
Amanda
I love you

And I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin' for the words to say
Do you want to be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't want to lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't want to lose you

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
Amanda (oh girl)

You and I
I know that we can't wait
And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share a life together
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late (oh-oh)

And, feelin' the way I do
I don't want to wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you
