Am I Too Late by Gladys Knight

Am I Too Late by Gladys Knight is her song without the Pips. If not for my friend Tommy, I wouldn't know that this song is also included in Gladys Knight & The Pips Midnight Train To Georgia CD that i earlier posted.

Thanks to my friend Tommy for this beautiful rediscovered nostalgic song...

AM I TOO LATE ? (J. Hurt/L. Keith)
I don't understand your hesitation.
You always were so quick to say
What needed to be said.
But you're standing there,
just saying nothing.
Please say something,
just don't tell me I'm too late.
It took a while for me
to understand my feelings for you.
I hope it's not too late,
to say I love you,
'cause God knows I do.
Before you turn away
and the chance I had to love you is gone,
You got to know
I've finally found the feeling
And though I never told you,
I live my life to hold you
Am I too late
to show myself
is it too late to let you know
Do you feel me
Am I touching you
Scares me to think you might say no
Cause it's too late for me to let you go
You got to know
I've finally found the feeling
And though I never told you
I live my live to hold you
Am I too late to show myself
Is it too late to let you know
Do you feel me
Am I touching you
It scares me to think you might say no
Cause it's too late
For me
to let you go
Am I too late
To show myself
Am I too late
to let you know
do you feel me
Am I touching you
Scares me to think that you might say no
Am I too late
To show myself
Am I too late
To let you know
Do you feel me
Am I touching you
Scares me to think that you might say no

Forever Yesterday (For The Children) by Gladys Knight & The Pips




Forever Yesterday (For The Children) by Gladys Knight and The Pips was the 1981 CBS released single in New York intended for the ATLANTA CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION, INC.
After 3 years of looking for a good copy of this song, I finally found the track in this CD:

FOREVER YESTERDAY (FOR THE CHILDREN)
Music and lyrics by Glenn Smith


I see the children, I hear them laughing
And I remember not long ago
Play life pretending we were unending.
We had forever yesterday.
We were the children laughing and playing.
We were the morning, shiny and new.
We were forever. When did it happen ?
I don't remember coming through.
I don't remember. When did the music change ?
When did the tears start falling for real ?
Give them forever. Let them be children.
They have the wings and they can fly.
They have the magic. Give them their freedom.
There will be time for them to cry.
When they bid yesterday goodbye
Cherish the children. Give them their right to be.
No man determines the time of a child.
Give them forever. Let them be children.
There will be time for them to die.
When they bid yesterday goodbye.

If You Can Learn How To Fly by Stephanie Mills



"If You Can Learn How To Cry" by Stephanie Mills is from the album For The First Time :



ALBUM: FOR THE FIRST TIME
1975 RELEASED BY MOTOWN RECORD COMPANY
AAD
Tracks :
01. I TOOK MY STRENGTH FROM YOU
02. LIVING ON PLASTIC
03. NO ONE REMEMBERS MY NAME
04. IF YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO CRY
05. LONELINESS REMEMBERS (WHAT HAPPINESS FORGETS)
06. THIS EMPTY PLACE
07. THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT YOU
08. I SEE YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME
09. ALL THE WAY TO PARADISE
10. PLEASE LET GO

Contrary to what the album implies, this wasn't her first album. But it was the first and the only album that Mills recorded for Motown. Despite the participation of Bacharach and David, the album received litle attention.

According to allmusic, the album is for historians and die-hard collectors and not recommended to casual listeners.

As of this writing, For The First Time CD is being priced at U.S. $200 in Amazon. Wow ???

Many thanks to Xami for this beautiful nostalgic song rediscovery.
