His first album featured a recording of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends", which brought him to near-instant stardom. The song reached number one in the UK in 1968, became a staple of his many live shows (Woodstock and the Isle of Wight in 1969, the Party at the Palace in 2002) and was also known as the theme song for the late 1980s American TV series The Wonder Years. He continued his success with his second album, which included a second Beatles song: "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window". A hastily thrown together 1970 US tour led to the live double-album Mad Dogs & Englishmen, which featured an all-star band organized by Leon Russell. His 1974 recording of "You Are So Beautiful" reached number five in the US, and became his signature song. Cocker's best selling song was the US number one "Up Where We Belong", a duet with Jennifer Warnes that earned a 1983 Grammy Award. He released a total of 22 studio albums over a 43-year recording career.
In 1993, Cocker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. He was awarded a bronze Sheffield Legends plaque in his hometown in 2007, and received an OBE the following year for services to music. Cocker was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers list.

That was all I had to see
Wanted you
Had to have you next to me
And from that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
And when I found you,
I found all that I've been searching for
You turned my world around
All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Hold me
Love as you rush to me
Is telling me
Let's put our hearts in the hands of fate
Time will tell us
It what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire
That's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You turned my world around
All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Its all I know
I might have never met you
In another time or place
Now I never could forget you
I could never walk away
It's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
That nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I've been searching for
You turned my world around
All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know

Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know

That I have been feeling intensely for a long time
And I don't need nobody else
I don't desire anyone else
Cause now you're here with me
Because you are now a part of my life
I might have never met you
I could have gone through my whole life without meeting you
In another time or place
If circumstances had been different
Now I never could forget you
But now that I have met you, I could never let you go
I could never walk away
I could never leave you behind
It's all I know
This love is all I have ever known

@kathryncooke2776
Loved Joe Cocker from the time I heard him sing "With a little help from my friends" in 1968 and "Feels like Forever" is special to me as it came after a loveless marriage and divorce to the time I met my partner who I have now been with for 23 years and he has showed me what happiness and love is
@DonnaMoye
Me too Kathryn ....... "Feels Like Forever" is our song. I don't think this man got near the credit he deserved. I've always loved his growly voice. RIP Joe!
