CHORUS:
Day to day
You're the hi ... highlight
Day to day
You're the hi ... highlight

You're the bright side of my darkness
You remove my gloom
You picked me up when times got rough
I'm glad you had some room
To love and hold me close to your heat
To keep me safe and warm
You're the height of my desire
You set off my alarm

CHORUS

I can't wait to see you
From one moment to the next
With you I never know what new thrill to expect
Your perfect sense of timing
Keeps me coming back for more
You're the spark that lights my fire
It's you that I adore

The end of the first verse is “you set off my alarm” then she sirens her way in to the second verse, as the alarm itself. Brilliant!

@corneliuswhite5139

ALWAYS where's me out!🥰

@johnadams3424

this was a classic album that was overlooked...they had some banging track...gr8 memories...they brought it on this album...the last one...

@mykael-soul-rock

This was to be the last studio album recorded by Rufus and Khan. They had already Officially disbanded before recording Camouflage. Their contract obligated them to record one more, which was their one and only live album, "Stomping at the Savoy." Camouflage didn't get the same label backing as their previous albums, which explains (in part) why the album did not do well on the charts; it peaked at #15 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart, and stalled at #98 on Billboard's Pop Album Charts.

@MrCarltonjsmith

A few years ago I met Angela backstage at B.B. Kings and I told her how much I loved this cut.

She didn't remember it...I had to remind her that she wrote it..when she remembered she laughed out loud!!

She was quite gracious!!
