I have been trying for months to find out the name of this song and who sings it... it must be an early to mid 70's song by a group possibly... the lyrics go something like this:

And I love you most
I don't say that in jest
Cause your not like the rest
In my eyes
In my eyes


That is the best I can do with the lyrics... it is a smooth, groving song... help!!

If you could remember a little more that would be helpful. Is it a soulful song or whiney white boy song?

It's a whiney white boy song but I didn't want to post it that way... I can't remember much more of the words but it seems that every time I hear it, it stays in my head and it's driving me nuts... the other day I was at a department store and they were playing an acuostic version of it... aaargghh! I've tried calling my local radio station when they play it but have never been able to get through to ask the disc jockey what the name is or who sings it.

The singers remind me of Steely Dan or maybe even a smooth Three Dog Night somewhere around there... not as good as either of those two bands but somewhere white like that... they may have even been a one hit wonder like King Harvest... come to think of it they sound more like King Harvest than Steely Dan.

Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you

So we walked along
Though I knew that there was
Something wrong
And a feeling hit me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and
The answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
Till that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run
Though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one
Or so I said
But my feelings for you were just something
I never knew
Till I saw the light in your eyes
But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
'Cause you're different girl from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes


Is this familiar. Personally I don't care for Todd.

Oh my goodness!! That's the one... I feel like Al Bundy when he had a song in his head and he finally got the name of it... he did a happy dance... I don't personally care for Todd Rundgren either but this song was driving me nuts cause it stuck in my head every time I heard it... THANK YOU... you don't go by BadPenny for nothing... you are bad... Great Job... now I can get this darn song out of my head.

You have truly ended months of grueling headaches for me.

Thanks again penny.
