Obscure Musical Lyric for the week of Nov.10/08

Good Monday morning music fans and Happy Birthday to my sister Margaret, one of my closest friends. Yesterday was my daughters birthday, so to honor her 18th birthday, I have chosen a song that was in the top 100 songs released in 1990. However, the song was originally released in 1972.

I guess I better go

I can save myself a lot of useless tears

pain will double if you leave me now

'cause I don't know where to look for love

I guessing that this one is tough. I have taken the lyrics from two different stanzas, so you really have to think about this one. I'll try to come up with some hints by Wednesday. By the way, when the song was released in 1972 and in 1990 it went to # 1 in the charts. I would like to know the following:

1. who released the song in 1972.

2. who released the song in 1990.

3. the name of the song.

4. the writer of the song.

5. the name of the 1972 album.

Have a great week, enjoy the crisp, cool days.

Tomorrow is Remembrance day. I choose to wear a poppy because it reminds me of the sacrifice by many. I appreciate that many young men and women the age of my children and younger have died for the freedoms that I enjoy. I try to thank a veteran when I see one. Soon, unfortunately, they may all be gone. Lest we Forget.
