Summer Love Song

Okay, I'm 15 years old, and I am on my summer vacation overseas.  It's July, 1981, and I'm in a crowded make shift discotec watching the dance floor with my cousin.  Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder.  I'm so shy, and nervous that I didn't even look back to see who it is.  I hear my cousin talking to someone, and then she turns to me to tell me that a friend of hers from school wants to know if I would dance with him. She assures me that he is a good guy.  I tell her to tell him that I will later.  I hear her telling the unknown stranger in Portuguese to ask me later.  Sure enough, there is that tap again on my shoulder.  "Want to dance?"  Little did I know, that Luis, aka; Conhe, would me my dancing partner for many nights that summer. 

He was tall, dark and handsome in a goofy kind of way.  He could speak English, and of course, that was a plus; he also bought be chocolates during the music intervals.  Endless Love, was a BIG hit back then, as well as We Got Tonight by Bob Segar, and Betty Davis Eyes....  For some magical reason, whenever those songs played, he would always jump up and come to my table,  so we would dance to a slow dance, but I wouldn't go back to my table until closing time.  I know that sounds corny, but until then, I never really had someone in my life up until that moment that kind of resembled a boyfriend.  At 15, having one; fitting in was so important.  He kissed me on the cheek at our last song; Lucky Man, and I never saw him again until years later.  So, innocent that moment was; but so important.  So, this one is for you Conhe---wherever you are!!!

Endless Love

My love,
There’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s bright

My first love,
You’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make

And i
(i-i-i-i-i)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
(ohhhhhh)
I’ll hold you close in my arms
I can’t resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I’ll be a fool
For you,
I’m sure
You know I don’t mind
Oh, you know I don’t mind

’cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I’ve found in you
My endless love

Oooh-woow
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I’ll be that fool
For you,
I’m sure
You know I don’t mind
Oh you know-
I don’t mind

And, yes
You’ll be the only one
’cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I’ll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love
