Sweet September - 2018 - #SLS Song Lyric Sunday

Our friend Helen has given us the prompt of "Search" for today's Song Lyric Sunday.  The first thing I thought of was Chicago's "Searching So Long" but that was too easy.  I wanted to try and get a song from Def Leppard or Journey so I could use some pictures from the concert that we went to last week but my mind was a blank, except for a Foreigner song, but I've already used Foreigner in a #SLS prompt so I didn't want to use them again.

I love the movie Urban Cowboy with John Travolta and Debra Winger.  The soundtrack has some really good songs.  This is one. 

The Lyrics:

Looking For Love
Johnny Lee

Well, I've spent a lifetime lookin' for you;
singles bars and good time lovers were never true.
Playin' a fools game hopin' to win; 
and tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover;
I'll bless the day I discover 
another heart lookin' for love.
And I was alone then, no love in sight;
and I did ev'rything I could to get me though the night.
Don't know where it started or where it might end;
I turned to a stranger just like a friend.
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover;
I'll bless the day I discover 
another heart lookin' for love.
Then you came a knockin' at my heart's door;
You're ev'ry thing I've been lookin' for. 
No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Now that I've found a friend and a lover;
I bless the day that I discovered 
you, oh you; 
lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Now that I've found a friend and a lover;
I bless the day that I discovered 
you, oh you; 
lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Now that I've found a friend and a lover;
I bless the day that I discovered 
you, oh you; lookin' for love

Urban Cowboy came before Officer and a Gentleman and Terms of Endearment for Debra Winger and after Saturday Night Fever for John Travolta.  It was a great boost for country music and I remember that a local country bar put in a mechanical bull.

The end of Sweet September is here.  I didn't post as much as I wanted to but I'm hoping October will be different.  Make sure to visit the other Song Lyric Sunday participants as there is some pretty good music going on out there!

  1. Hi Janet.
    Great pic for the Searching prompt! That is a really good song. And Urban Cowboy: I haven't thought of that movie in ages! I'll need to see if it's on Netflix or Hulu or Vudu or someplace. :)
    Whatever happened to Debra Winger? I never hear anything about her anymore...

    Hope you had a great weekend. And a good week coming up...

    1. Thanks Michele! I just Googled Debra Winger and I see that she is now in the Netflix program the Ranch and I didn't know she was married to Timothy Hutton for a while. Interesting. I had the kids get me the DVD for Christmas one year! Thanks for stopping by!
