Lost in twilight, the memories
Precious moments, you and me
We've been old friends, all through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tears


What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why can't this night...go on forever


Without love, we won't survive
Run together, we rule the night
Tell me secrets, oh that make you cry
Where's the laughter, we gotta try


What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
Like a photograph
That time won't erase


Why can't this night...go on forever
Go on forever and ever...ever and ever

(Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain)

This song of the week can be heard on Raised On Radio.

"I think that one great thing about radio is that it creates a mystery. It really creates its own mystique, and it gives you the availability to fantasize, and I think music is basically that way too, and radio projects that image; some videos do not. Some visuals destroy the availability for you to have that song be something you particularly see in it. Because you've seen it, from that point on when you hear the song, you are burned into that visual. So to protect that, I think you have to be very careful."
- Steve Perry (Faces Rocks)
