Name The Song The Line Is From Part III

Tony wins again. &*%^#& slow typing fingers!

I’m not sure about your song, Tony. But I just had to agree with you on The Moody Blues. I saw them in Reno March of 2003. It was a great show!

***** NEW *******

Seventies

And my passion flow like rivers through the sky

Edited to add more clues -

Another line -
Old men playing checkers by the trees

This song was a hit in the UK and in the USA - but by different singers. Male in UK, Female in USA.

Gee, I didn’t know there were more lines up. That’s “Mac Arthur Park” by Richard Harris. The one by Donna Summer didn’t have the line you posted first.

Let’s go to 1970:

On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store

That's The Rapper, and I can't recall the name of the group.


Try this one:

Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong

Stevie Wonder warned us about that “Superstition”. That there is one good song, Jim.

This one from 1969 should do:

Let it be filled with tomorrow



BTW, the group was called Jaggerz.

That would be Holly Holy, by some guy named Diamond. He was a one-hit wonder, wasn't he?


Maybe some 1978 would be good:

Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait

More information:

The band is from Down Under.


The song has a one-word title:

Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And ___________

I had to walk away from that for a while. It came right to me, “It” being “Reminiscing” by Little River Band. I like that one a lot.

Speaking of reminiscing:

Back then I thought I'd never ever stand alone


My edit is for a spelling error

This 1986 song is by a guy who was an Irish police officer. But he changed fields and his name. He had some hits in the seventies also.
The song is about wishing to return to his youth.

I’ll add the next few lines:

Back then I thought I'd never ever stand alone
It used to be that a lonely heart was never shown
I know that things will never be the same
