… with a whole spate of untimely work. Yet slowly, but surely, i’m sorting out the rubble and climbing out of it.

The headphones are plugged in lately to concentrate on the tasks at hand… and found a lovely track.

Original by Average White Band, and while the Jeff Golub & Sue Ann Carwell version is my favorite, Minnie Riperton’s cover is a close second.

Read on for the lyrics.

If I Lose This Heaven
Angry White Band

If you’re foolin’, only foolin’
All I ask is “Why?”
If you’re playin’, all I’m sayin’
Is feelings sure collide
If you’re lyin’, keep on lyin’
Don’t tell the truth, don’t you dare
You can’t drop me, ’cause baby you still got me
After takin’ me way up there
Way up there

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I’ll never be the same

When you’re kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, you’re crossed
You’re so moody, you get to me
And I can’t turn you off
You’re fascinating, much more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You’re so exciting, hey baby I’m re-writing
The book of love called “You”
Yes it’s you

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I’ll never be the same

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I’ll never be the same

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven…. (fade)
