I know the song.  I just need a few more lyrics.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I can turn a grey sky blue.

I can make it rain, whenever I want it to.

I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.

I can make a ship sail, on dry land.

So it may not be one that I thought I knew so well after all.  Haven't got anything so far.

I can turn a grey sky blue.

I can make it rain, whenever I want it to.

I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.

I can make a ship sail, on dry land.

 

I can fly like a bird in the sky

I can buy anything that money can't buy.

I can turn a river into a raging firs.

I can live forever, if I so desire.

I thought maybe this was a Who song, but now I'm not getting it.   I was way off on this one.  

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Definitely not the Who.

Boy bands don't have bass singers, so I doubt it's one.

It does not sound like any Beatles song myself or Mrs Wolf recognize. 

She said the lyrics reminded her of "ABBA", but not the registers. 

 

The registry range reminds me of "the 4 Lads", but I only know one song of theirs, and this isn't it.

An American group.

An AFRICAN-American group.

Let's move on George.  It may worth a  doke slap but I'll try to live with it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

OK.

"Can't Get Next to You" by the Temptations

Next song:

I need you oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me what did I do wrong to make you stay away so long.

George

[WordWolf]

I've heard of the Temptations, at least. (But not that song.) 

Still trying to get a bead on the new song.

[Raf]

Baby Love

Supremes

Sally Field. Just kidding. But Baby Love

[WordWolf]

Ok, I've heard that song. Amazing I'm so clueless about the lytics.

BTW, my internet access for the next several days is going to be spotty, so don't be surprised if you don't hear much from me.

I thought I'd stick with 60's Motown.  You are correct.

I would have figured you knew a lot about the lytics because of your young son.  Virus replication and all.  Sorry had to have a little fun with that WordWolf.  Ha Ha  

Raf you are up!

You have so many relationships in this life.

Only one or two will last.

I'm guessing those are lyrics, and not a personal philosophy.

I have no idea about the song.

George

[Raf]

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast...
Oh, so hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?

[Raf]

It's peppy.

 that's not a lyric. It's a description of the song.

Certainly didn't make Casey Kasem's America's Top 40.  This description is it one of your own or is it a reflection of the things about the song that were included with the song?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I don't think this is it, but it's reminiscent of

When I'm 64 (?)

George

[Raf]

It was a number one song.

Not by the Beatles, who had long broken up by then [only 3 were alive at most]
