Everlasting Love
Robert Knight
(Gason/Gayden)

Hearts go astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
Filled with regret
I come back begging you
Forgive, forget
Where's the love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting Love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting Love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Be a lasting part of
Everlasting Love

Where life's really flows
No-one really knows
'Till someone's there to
Show the way to
Everlasting Love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
It's eternal love
Whenever loves are gone
Ours will be strong
We'd have our very own
Everlasting Love

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting Love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting Love.

Robert Knight, Carl Carlton either or - its a great song!!!!!

[tritonrocks]

How can anyone dislike this song? I'd like to meet those 4 people.  They must need medication.

[cucumber0022]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded.

[deadlifepuppetry]

Definitely the best version of this song. The chords in the beginning are just magical

[peugeotrider2016]

Love affair also had this song

[Muf315]

Really beautiful and amazing song. Reason for many of covers.

Versions from Jamie Cullum, Gloria Estefan & U2 are absoluely terrible - song is degraded.

Version of Carl Carlton & The Love Affair are neutral for me.

Robert knight is king knight - this original soul version is perfect...

...and that for me is nice version from Sandra, because I like genres Synthpop and New wave.

[dubs19842009]

@taxman14072 Agreed. I like both versions. I also like both Temptation's and Rare Earth's "Get Ready."

[strummersbrother]

@tritonrocks I agree, i've always thought this is the better version. More heartfelt and soulful, plus it's the one i loved in the 7th grade.

[Soupy2323]

My brother and his Annie....This is their Song! I will remember this Song, connecting them as One, since I was a young girl!!! Romantic, Classic....The best memories ever!!!

[emby1999]

Robbed of stardom by the average "Love Affair"...

[TJCATLOVER]

Absolutely fantastic song!!!!!!!!

[bheffley2002]

This is one of the instances in which the remake was a bigger hit than the original. In 1967, Robert Knight's version peaked at #13. Seven years later, in 1974, Carl Carlton took his version to #6.
