...🎶❤️
You are the love of my life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a lifetime
To find what we have...
...❤️🎶

Roberta Flack - Do What You Gotta Do (1970)
Who does the best version of this Jimmy Webb classic? I used to think it was between Clarence Carter and Nina Simone, but after hearing Roberta Flack’s rendition, I’m not so sure anymore.
Though it may mean I'll never kiss your sweet lips again
