Played this song for Mrs Wolf to overhear earlier, so blame her for inspiring this round....  ;)

"You know I love you, I always will.
My mind's made up by the way that I feel.
There's no beginning, there'll be no end.
'Cause on my love you can depend."
 

So you had to go and pull this one out of the back shed did ya WordWolf and thank Mrs. Wordwolf.  Maybe Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?  Maybe not.  It's not Starlight Vocal Band but someone like it.  From that era definitely.  Give me a week and I may get it.

Not John Ford Coley but someone like him.  Working on the name of the song.

It's been covered, but I'm pretty sure John Ford Coley was not in any band that's been known to have covered it, and was not in the original.  (So, say, if he jammed in a club somewhere and did this, nobody knows but it's humanly possible.)    I'll add more lyrics later.

"It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show."

I know this song very well.  I really liked it when it came out.  Mid 70's or late ?  I like the orchestra playing and it's a very moody song.  Good arrangement too. The band is not important now. I just can't come up with the name even though I can play most of it in my head.

"It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it  snow show."

"I see your face before me as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking, of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me, and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do."

Thanks for the hint.  Cavemen = troglodytes = Troggs

Obviously not "Wild Thing," so it must be

"Love Is All Around"

George

I was wondering if that was a BIT of a reach for a clue, but obviously you got there anyway.  That is the correct artist and song.

Mrs Wolf knows it from "Love, Actually", where Bill Nye played an old rocker who redid the song with Christmas lyrics as "Christmas is All Around". That's where the "let it snow" line came from.  She hadn't heard the original until the other week.

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
 
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point,

The lyrics seem familiar, but I'm not hearing a melody yet, so I don't recognize it.

OK  

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
 
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go

"My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust
Soon we were doing ninety -
Must've left him in the dust.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes:
The little Nash Rambler was right behind -
I think that guy could fly."

 

"I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn."

 

"Now we're doing a hundred and ten -
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace."

 

NOW does it sound familiar?  Even without sound effects?

Weird formatting.
