Mairead ...

Broken Wings ... Stargazers (1953)

BROKEN WINGS
With Broken wings, no bird can fly
And broken promises mean love must fade and die
I trusted you, you can't be true
My heart no longer sings
It's wings are broken too

Life was wonderful
I flew as high as a bird in the sky
Dreaming of you
Dreams coming true
Then in your eyes
I saw lies in disguise
You broke my heart in two

With Broken wings, (With Broken wings)
No bird can fly (No bird can fly)
And broken promises mean love must fade and die

With Broken wings, no bird can fly
My heart no longer sings
It's wings are broken too

It doesn't take a long time to find anything on the Internet. Took me 5 seconds to find this! Very Happy

That's the one Snakey. Thanks. Gosh was it really THAT long ago.
Yes I know you can find almost everything on the internet, I just can't be bothered raking around it, I try to use my brain instead, and if my memory lets me down, now and then, well...... That's life as they say Wink

*sighs* This is what screws the game up, Mairead. If you could just google the words and find out, it would be a HUGE help!

I wonder if you mean Blue Jean Baby by Showaddywaddy (1975) (which I don't know!)

or

The Elton John 1971 CLASSIC ... used to brilliant effect in the movie "Almost Famous" ... Tiny Dancer ... to which the words are ...

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Dunno why ... but this song always manage to move me emotionally! Probably because it is one of Elton's BEST songs ever!

Anyway ... my contribution ...

Jeans On ... David Dundas

You'll find a lot of these songs featured on YouTube, Mairead.
