Looking for a song...

**Hiro** · 02-22-2002, 09:31 AM

Lyrics are as follows

I lost my love, my life....that night...
I found the love that I knew I had lost...

Can't remember much more, but its a mild song, and I really like the lyrics.

If anyone could help please, it would be great.

Sounds like you're looking for this.

Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far,
There in the road straight ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I?ll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tyres, the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up the rain was falling down
There were people standing all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But some how I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close , I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
Oh now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night

Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Pearl Jam?

Last Kiss?

sad lyrics

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far...
There in the road, strait ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said,
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I'd miss.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

ROFL!

Okay, Markel, should we sign up for shifts?

**Markel** · 02-22-2002, 09:47 AM

Beat ya, chrissy!

**Markel** · 02-22-2002, 09:48 AM

Ha ha. But you were quicker on the comeback!

**Hiro** · 02-22-2002, 09:50 AM

Thanks Markel and Chrissy. that was the song I was looking for.

**NuTs62** · 02-22-2002, 12:44 PM

Wow, amazing. Both of you replied at 9:46AM. Maybe they should change the site to count seconds, if not milliseconds. We'll have our own Olympics for posting!

One thing to add. Though a lot of references to this song cite Pearl Jam, it originally was sung by "J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers" in 1964. (That's the version I remember.

)

that is correct sir.
pearl jam did a cover of it that appeared on the 1999 kosovo refugees benefit CD (and was also their first #1 single). the song also ended up as the a-side for the Ten Club christmas single in either 1999 (i think that was the year)

)

I thought that your "sir" was based on my stating that I remembered the 1964 version.

Hey markel, Just cuz you know of the 1964 version doesn't make you old. They do have stations that play music from the 60's ya know.

I know, but I remember it from when it first "hit the charts".

no, the "sir" is just a form of address i use now and then (more IRL than online).
of course, it is deserved by you, given your sterling reputation here for thoughtful, intelligent, and reasoned contributions to discussions.
