Vision Of You

Vision Of You
I recently read Belinda Carlisle's autobiography. I enjoyed the early parts where she describes her youth and the making of the GoGos and her times in the late 1970s LA punk scene. Through out there are drugs. Tonnes! So crazy. They got kicked out of Ozzy Osborne,s dressing room for being too fucked up! Wild. Anyway, I really liked the GoGos and Belinda's solo career in the 1980s. Fun music for a teenaged girl. After I read the book I found my old tapes and gave them a listen. Ah nostalgia. Here was one sappy ballad I liked back then. Based on what I read she was either super drunk or super high or both during this video. Glad she got out of it. She worked hard and pretty much saved her life and made it work with her family. Addiction and recovery is such a mind blowing thing. And yeah I cannot stop listening to sad romantic songs. Its just something I do. My own addiction. Vision of You Time moves a summer wind I can see your face again Was it such a tragedy Being you ... being me ? Smoke clears, the pictures fades But I stay back in yesterday All the strangers come and go All of them will never know ... Nobody’s touch feels like your touch Nobody’s gets to me that much Nobody’s kiss moves me inside And I have nowhere left to hide Tell me what can I do ? I have a vision of you Tell me what can I do With this vision of you Did I walk ? did you run ? What’s the way to love someone ? Oh my darling did we know What it meant when we let go How can a candle ever burn so bright ? Casting a shadow on my life I am blinded by your light Even without you
