'Cause your love takes away all my fears
When I'm down, feeling bad
You give me hope that I never had
Your love is a life saver

You are one of a kind
No one else has ever crossed my mind
Baby, your love is a life saver (is a life saver)

I had no idea all those fabulous radio stations in NYC were gone! We danced the night away at O'Dells in Baltimore, MD. A sign of the times. Everything fades and goes away. Everything except the great memories! For all of your contributions, thanks, Gayle! ๐ฅฐ
