Das 80er Jahre Forum im Netz ... best of 80s

Na mal schauen, wie gut Ihr hier wirklich seid :-)

Seit etwa 14 Jahren suche ich dieses Stück. Erst habe ich vermutet, dass es 'should have been me' heisst, aber mittlerweile habe ich etwa 100(!)Interpreten erfolglos ausprobiert.

Es sollte ein Einzelkünstler sein und die 'Power'-Ballade geht ganz grob in Richtung Bryan Adam's Heaven, wobei mich die Stimme eher an Barry Gibb erinnert. Gespielt wurde das Teil übrigens im Radio (BFBS, englischer Sender) an einem schönen Sonntagmittag in 1989 :-)

Danke schon mal!!!

I think of you now and then
then I remember when
love was new and you were mine
my love

so why should we pretend we were lovers
but now we're friends
I don't wanna say goodbye to you again
my love

should have been me
that's loving you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
should have been me
that's holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go
my love

what we once had is gone
no tears, no right, no wrong
it could never be the same again
my love

the more we see the less we know
now you believe our love could grow
I don't wanna say goodbye to you again
my love

should have been me
that's holding you instead of someone else
i needed you but never let it show
should have been me
that's loving you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go
my love

how would I survive
with another broken heart
on my own again when i need a friend
to help me find a place to start

should have been me
that's that's holding you instead of someone else
I neded you but how was I to know
should have been me
that's loving you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go
my love
my love

It Should Have Been Me Lyrics:
(bryan adams/jim vallance)

I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we’re friends
I don’t want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love

(chorus)
It should have been me
That’s lovin? you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That’s holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go,
My love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now you believe our love will grow
I don’t want to say goodbye to you again,
My love

(chorus)

My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start

Mensch, echt stark!

Ich weiss gar nicht, wie ich dir danken soll :-)))

Thx a lot!!
