Can you name the artist and song:

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world I’d make you fall for me

Last Song: “The Angel Song” by Great White from Twice Shy (1989)

Raise your eyes to star and sky
Believe in fly always
Take your dreams, your broken schemes
And sweep the past away

Great job magomusa and Lisa (@gabbyg89)!!!

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
