Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do

Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you, I really do
Rita Coolidge

Rita Coolidge (born May 1, 1945) is an American recording artist.

Her recordings include "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," "We're All Alone", "I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love", and the theme song for the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy: "All Time High".

Yeah, The Carpenters may be too cheesy for RP but you can't deny the quality of Karen Carpenters singing.  This is f#$@% awful.  Were they totally high?

I normally like Rita C but just had to look to see who was mangling this tune. Quite surprised that it comes from Joe and Leon and company.

I hate to say it, but I really prefer The Carpenters' version. I love Rita Coolidge, but she sounds a little off key sometimes here.

Saw Rita sing this at Lockin Festival the year Joe Cocker died at a tribute that everyone from Tedeski Trucks to Leon Russel came for. They re enacted the whole of Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting. I cried.
