♪♫ Oh Woman, don't you know me?

Has it been so long that you forgot

I thought of you just yesterday

My time it has been dragging

And I've changed girl but so have you

Please don't turn your face away

It's in your eyes I know

Where did the sparkle go?

Sparkle eyes used to shine ev'ry day

God, I wish I never had seen you looking this way

Can't recall just who was wrong

Guess it doesn't matter now

To dredge the past I've no desire

But it hurts to feel your sadness

And to see the life you've led

Faceless fountains cooled your fire

It was mine not long ago

Where did the sparkle flow?

Sparkle Eyes used to smile at the rain

Don't I wish that I could see it again

Where did the sparkle go?

Now if I only knew where to begin

Girl, I'd try to break your fall and stop your spin

But time has changed us both too many ways

And I'm looking at a strange and empty face

And your eyes used to shine every day

If I had only never seen you lookin' this way

Those faceless fountains they cooled your fire

It was mine not so very long ago

Your eyes would laugh at the rain

You don't know how I wish I could see it again

I just can't stand to watch goin' down slow

Where did the sparkle go? ♪♫

Another great one by Steppenwolf that brings back the memories ofthe early 70's. I had a good time back then, the music by groups like them never stopped

The love of my life had eye's that sparkled, but the sparkle left from too much crap in her life. Broke my heart. Great song, thanks for uploading. And I love the car on the inside of the jacket.

This only makes me wish we were all back in these days when things were AWESOME, could leave your house unlocked and leave the keys in the car. Now look at today-not better at all..........

A truly relevant song to anyone who's loved and lost at one time or another in their life. Timeless.

No Doubt. One of the best and I think underrated from that era or any era. He fills and hit's those snare/symbol shots right with J.K.

Great, wonderful, and sad. Check out John Kay "Movin On" and Mars Bonfire "Ride with me Baby."

To newworldordersmasher ~ It's a sad story, as these things usually are, when folks are acting on the advice of lawyers instead of doing what they know to be right and fair. I think it's frakking crass that such a conflict should arise from a band that has shown such nous through their music. In this instance, 'Fat Jack' & 'Desperation' come to mind :-\ ♪♫...if you don't know where your goin' I'll understand, I've lost the way myself Oh, don't take that old road it leads to nowhere...♪♫ ☼ ;-j

I wish John Kay would give the rest of band they`re royalties. John sued them for the rights to they`re music. John throw them a bone will ya please! Don`t be so greedy...
