9. Let Me Love You Once Before You Go

When there's something I can't have,
I only want it more.
You know I sure found out the hard way
that it's true.
'Cause there's a storm inside of me
from wantin' you.
How I wish that I'd found you in time,
'cause now you're his and can't be mine.

But you can start a fire raging
just by touching me.
Even though I know
we're not supposed to touch.
Oh, I've never wanted anyone so much.
How I wish that I had found you first,
can't you see my heart's about to burst.

So let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
so don't keep saying no.
Let me love you once and then you'll see,
no one's ever gonna love you more than me.

Let me lock the door
and open all my love to you.
All the love I've longed to give you
since we met.
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get.
And I just can't let it disappear,
oh my darling, please come over here.

And let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
so don't keep saying no.
Let me love you once and then you'll see,
no one's ever gonna love you more than me.

Let me lock the door
and open all my love to you.
All the love I've longed to give you
since we met.
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get.
And I just can't let it disappear,
oh my darling, please come over here.

And let me love you once before you go.
Your eyes keep saying yes to me,
so don't keep saying no.
Let me love you once and then you'll see,
no one's ever gonna love you more than me.
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.
No one's ever gonna love you more than me.

킹 크림슨과 ELP를 거치며 소위 프로그레시브 록에서의 보컬 스타일을 제시했던 그렉 레이크가 81년 여유를 보였던 솔로 앨범이다. 대체로 종래 자신의 스타일을 한번 벗어나 보려는 시도가 역력하며, 평소 절친한 게리 무어와 토토의 멤버들이 협연했다. 실연당한 사내의 넋두리 "Let Me Love You Once Before You Go"와 게리 무어의 작품인 "Nuclear Attack"이 음악세계 애청곡이다. (전영혁의 음악세계 Booklet Vol. 4)
