    I’m surprised that no one really talks about this. This is the ONLY video that I’ve ever seen, spot-on vocals to the actual recording of this song. It’s amazing. Either this was the REAL RECORDING of this song.. or they perfected this live recording to match the studio recording. I’m not sure if that’s even possible. As I see it..these are live vocals coming out of their mics here. Amazing.. and Crazy.

Be free with joy, peace, and love .

    Climax Blues Band - I love you 1981 When I was younger man I hadn't a care Foolin' around, hittin' the town, growing my hair You came along and stole my heart when you entered my life Ooh babe you got what it takes so I made you my wife Since then I never looked back It's almost like living a dream And ooh I love you You came along from far away and found me here I was playin' around, feeling down, hittin' the beer You picked me up from off the floor and gave me a smile You said you're much too young, your life ain't begun, let's walk for a while And as my head was spinnin' 'round I gazed into your eyes And thought ooh I want you Thank you babe for being a friend And shinin' your light in my life 'cause ooh I need you (Instrumental) As my head was comin' round I gazed into your eyes And thought ooh I want you Thanks again for being my friend And straightenin' out my life 'cause ooh I need you (Instrumental) Since then I never looked back It's almost like livin' a dream Ooh I got you If ever a man had it all It would have to be me And ooh I love you.
