I've always liked this song. Actually; I've always liked the tune. Until making this video; I never realized how beautiful and sad the lyrics were. I've added them below for those who would like to read them.
My thanks to Bertie Higgins, who recorded this song on the Epic label in 1982.

BERTIE HIGGINS
"Key Largo"
Wrapped around each other
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each others arms
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey, I was your hero
And you were my leading lady
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
Honey, can't you remember
We played all the parts
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart
Please say you will
Play it again
'Cause I love you still
Baby, this can't be the end
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Very nice video. Who is the woman at the end? Kind of takes away from the video.
