    Lyrics:
    I remember every little thing
    As if it happened only yesterday
    Parking by the lake
    And there was not another car in sight
    And I never had a girl
    Looking any better than you did
    And all the kids at school
    They were wishing they were me that night
    And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon, hold on tight
    C'mon, hold on tight
    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light

      I'm 63. I remember making out in the back seat of my Pontiac LeMans that same year. The girl I was with wasn't ready to go all the way. No dramatic "STOP RIGHT THERE" though. She just braced her foot against the back seat to keep me from rolling on top of her. I took the hint, and backed off. 😂

    My wife was the lead singer of a lounge band in the '80s. Several times late in the evening, my wife and myself would cover this. While she had the voice of an angel and I admit I not the best singer but when on that little stage there was no one better in the world. Unfortunately she was taken away from me in an auto accident. Every time I hear this I can feel her right beside with a wide smile and her eyes beaming. God knows I miss her. RIP LeAnna I still love you and miss you every day of life

    This was shown on TV here in the UK back in the late 70's or early 80's.

If I had any objections to his recordings it is they are a little too long, but they are like an opera. I didn't like the baseball commentary as it had no meaning for this recording.

    This song reminds me of a music theory seminar on classical music that I attended in college. The prof talked about how in symphonic music the composer will introduce a theme (like "Will you love me forever") and expand on it, then introduce a counter theme and expand that one (like "Let me sleep on it"), and then next blend the two musical themes into a new complex movement. Finally the symphony will bring out a synthesis of the two in the final movement (as with "Praying for the end of time"), usually harkening back to the introductory movement ("Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife") to complete the circle.
    This song really is perfect in every sense of the word. Not to mention how tone perfect and precisely executed the music and background vocals were. Jim Steinman deserves to stand next to Mozart in history for this and Bat Out of Hell.

      @@AllenKnutson According to TMZ it was complications due to Covid. But that last part of your statement is wrong. He wasn't anti-vaxxer as far we know - he was anti-quarantine, anti-mask, anti-controlling-government. The thing that folks don't seem to realize that catching Covid is 99.5% survivable. That 0.5% is due to people having serious background health issues. And Meat has some health issues - overweight and asthma to name a couple. The asthma caused him to cancel some shows a while back.

I’ll give you an answer in the morning” “ I swore I would love you til the end of time.” “ Now I’m praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive” “”cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can Really survive. I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow but God only knows what I can do right now. ““I’m praying for the end of time so that I can end my time with you”
