    I was listening to the radio in the car while Andy and Julian were in the store a while ago. Grand Rapids has a nice little indy, listener supported station. This amazing song came on, so beautiful I just have to share. This here is a reggae thread. Please share your favorites. Oh yeah and please say what you think of this.

    The Only Thing Missing Was You

    I was rocking like a lonely man

    Drifting off the seas

    And you came along

    And you threw a line to me, to me


    But how was I to know

    When I thought I had it all along

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    You, you, you, you, you


    I've been waiting all along for a woman like you

    To come along and bring the sunshine to my blues

    Wake me in the morning with a kiss upon my cheek

    And when we're making love, we make it so unique


    You have my vote with the shake of your thighs

    My whole world changed from one look in your eye

    It's been a long time but now I realize


    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    (You, you, you, you, you)

    The only thing missing was you

    Many moons have passed

    And I'm still here at sea

    And I'm searching for one island in the stars

    The size of you and me, you and me


    How was I to know

    When I thought I had it all along

    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you


    The only thing missing was you

    The only thing missing was you

    (You, you, you, you, you)

    The only thing missing was you


    I've been waiting all along for a woman like you

    (Only thing missing was you)

    Woman like you, woman, woman like you

    (The only thing missing was you)


    I've been waiting all along for a woman like you

    Like you, like you

    Waiting all along for a woman like you

    (Come back, please)

    Woman like you, woman, woman like you, like you

    Bob Marley is like a bit of heaven bending to touch the earth. Thank you, LRG.

    I believe this is the first reggae song I ever heard, back in the 1960's. I was just a kid, but I knew this genre of music was magically different. The Israelite was also popular in the late 60's. I am not sure which I heard first.

    If this song doesn't make you smile and want to make the world a better place, you might be a little jaded.
