Clues please!

wotanuisanceABC123 Mon 30-Nov-15 18:07:19

No, I haven't but let me think! It is not going to an obscure one.

I was five and he was six,
We rode on horses made of sticks

Ana Mon 30-Nov-15 18:03:44

Have you got one lined up wot? You may as well have a go as that last one ended up such a muddle...tbgrin

wotanuisanceABC123 Mon 30-Nov-15 18:01:02

Oh, please, can we get on with it??!

wotanuisanceABC123 Mon 30-Nov-15 17:22:19

Ha ha ha!

rosequartz Mon 30-Nov-15 17:19:39

the word in before clover is missing. Sorry
I'm sure we would all have known it if the word 'in' was there grin

hmm or not!!

wotanuisanceABC123 Mon 30-Nov-15 17:18:10

Is that the next clue? Or a comment please?

At Last is BY Mack Gordon and Harry Warren (1942).
Etta James is just one of the people who sang it, and she used it as a signature tune.

Credit where it's due ...

Love that song and Cry Me a River

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 30-Nov-15 16:03:46

However...

My usual lyrics website (MetroLyrics) did let me down because I just checked a couple of others and the word in before clover is missing. Sorry. blush

How strange that I didn't know this line, as I love love love this song.

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 30-Nov-15 15:58:36

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song, oh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known, oh yeah
You smiled, you smiled oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 30-Nov-15 15:57:04

Your friends are right! grin

It was used on Strictly on Saturday night, so I looked up the lyrics - and chose the hardest line! grin

NfkDumpling Mon 30-Nov-15 15:45:50

Our friends who've come for lunch says it's At Last by Etta James. I've told them to stop snopping, go home and join GN!

rosequartz Mon 30-Nov-15 15:00:34

hmm is there a word missing?

or a comma or two?

Is he singing to Clover?

wotanuisanceABC123 Mon 30-Nov-15 14:22:45

Thanks for the compliment, roses! I haven't been able to guess the last few, though.

Ana Mon 30-Nov-15 12:38:22

What a strange lyric, I'm sure I'd have remembered that if I'd ever heard it! tchgrin

rosesarered Mon 30-Nov-15 12:37:32

No idea!

rosesarered Mon 30-Nov-15 12:37:16

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 30-Nov-15 11:19:57

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 30-Nov-15 08:10:47

Is it Time After Time by Cyndy Lauper?

rosequartz Sun 29-Nov-15 21:14:49

Donovan used to live round the corner to us.

Ooh, I am name-dropping tonight (see Strictly thread!!)

Ana Sun 29-Nov-15 21:14:17

OK. here's mine then

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray

rosesarered Sun 29-Nov-15 21:06:24
