Just in case anyone cares, here are the songs whose first lines I quoted a couple of days ago:

1.  It's comin' any day now, said the captain ("Defenders of the Flag", Bruce Hornsby)
2.  If today was not an endless highway ("Tomorrow is a Long Long Time", Kingston Trio)
3.  Wait a minute before you walk away ("You Need Me", Mariah Carey)
4.  Look on yonder misty mountain ("Epistle to Dippy", Donovan)
5.  Now if you feel that you can't go on ("Reach Out, I'll Be There", Four Tops)
6.  Like a fool I went and stayed too long ("Signed, Sealed, Delivered", Stevie Wonder)
7.  I don't wanna let another minute get by ("Faster Than the Speed of Night", Bonnie Tyler)
8.  Well I've got dreams enough for one ("New Horizons", Moody Blues)
9.  You're the only one to make me tremble ("I Want You So Bad", Gloria Estefan)
10. When you set a match to your heart ("Walking Through Fire", Mary Chapin Carpenter)
11. I need love, love, love ("You Can't Hurry Love", Supremes)
12. Whenever I'm with him, something inside ("Heatwave", Martha and the Vandellas)
13. As I walk this land of broken dreams ("What Becomes of the Broken Hearted", Jimmy Ruffin)
14. Nothing you can say can tear me away ("My Guy", Mary Wells)
15. Now if there's a smile on my face ("The Tears of a Clown", Miracles)
16. Lazy old day, rolling away ("Lazy Days", Enya)
17. Baby, it's your life ("If I Should Lose You", Billy Ocean)
18. Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying ("What's Going On", Marvin Gaye)
19. It's sad to think we're not gonna make it ("Neither One of Us", Gladys Knight)
20. I got sunshine on a cloudy day ("My Girl", Temptations)

Well, I was too embarrassed to admit that I could only get two or three more than Cat did... and most of these are far more in my era than hers!

By the by, what in the world is "Epistle to Dippy"?!?

It's a weird one (well, it's Donovan, after all); it talks about monks, snails, caterpillars and mountains. I'll see if I can transcribe some more of the lyrics. I suspect you've heard it.

Which others did you recognize?

"Can't Hurry Love", "Heatwave" and "My Guy." <*blush*> I should've been able to do better!

I'm still getting absolutely nothing on the Donovan song. Maybe more lyrics will help!

About to head out here... weekend in Portales, and no computer (probably). Unless we can figure out how to switch it back from LAN to plain phone-feed.....

Hm. "Epistle to Dippy" isn't the song I thought it was. (I was thinking of "There Is a Mountain".) There's a good chance you've never heard it.
