Late last night I was dreaming
I was dreaming of your charms
I was standing
On the edge of love, darling
With you in my arms
Well you whispered sweet things
And told me
That you loved me and always be true
And you'd stand
On the edge of love with me
If I'd stand with you
I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to slip and fall
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on your call
You know I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to lose my mind
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on you one more time
Now a young man's mind will wander
Wander to distant shores
If you'll just come here
And stand with me
I won't wander no more
I promise to stop all of my gambling
Even stop staying out late all night
Might even settle down and have babies
Treat ourselves right
'Cause a young man's dreams are many
Lord, so few come true
So if you'll just come here
And stand with me
I'll stand with you
That's why I say you know
I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to slip and fall
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on your call, that's why I say
You know, I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to lose my mind
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on you one more time
That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
Waiting on you one more time
That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
Waiting on you one more time
That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
One more time

He'd play about half a song, then yammer on bout this or that, play half a song, etc. I don't think he played a full song the entire night. Really dissappointed. He is diabetic, maybe his sugars were off. When I saw him I enjoyed his little yammers about stuff..................love the King |

He's kind of earned the right to do that. Let's see how you do at age 83, and how many people show up to see you do it, ok? |

| drews (London, Blighty) | Posted: May 27, 2009 - 02:31 Croydon Fairfield Halls in 1985 was when BB King and his superb band introduced me to the blues, and I haven't looked back since. It's a shame he had to go and endorse BBurger King a few years back, but I suppose he has to clear his gambling debts some how. |

I do, but I am crazy myself so it may not count.  |
| Darkmatter (Sweden) | Posted: Mar 11, 2008 - 03:23 The most funny thing about this discussion is the throng of people crying bloody murder about not having heard about BB King. 
It just goes to show irony is really wasted on some people.   |

You must have either a foot fetish or a fish fetish. |
| segueman (Spring, TX) | Posted: Nov 06, 2007 - 10:14 First note I heard BB play live at the Arena Theatre in Houston touched my sole. As cliché as it sounds, it was unbelievable, the emotional power of that one note. |
| lwilkinson (North Am) | Posted: Nov 06, 2007 - 09:58 Never heard of BB King? I can't believe that! I saw a concert in San Antonio, TX in about 1971. Opening act #1 Tower of Power (primo jazz and brass even today.) Opening Act #2 CCR. Primary act that brought the entire audience to their feet for almost 2 hours of the "King" jamming and bluz'n. B.B. King. Go buy ANY of his albums and get out some whiskey on ice and a hanky. The man can play the blues. |

Key symptoms of a Scientologist worldview: (a) Unnatural appreciation for Tom Cruise and his body of work. (b) Overuse or misuse of the word "cool" in approbatory contexts. (c) Unfamiliarity with the finer traditions and attributes of American (especially African-American) culture. (d) Reads bad science fiction and believes that it's true. |

Thank You RP for playing this soothing blues tune!  I really do think he was joking...at least I hope so. By the way I just had my first experience of hearing something played on RP that I uploaded, kinda neat. Glad you like the song, Bill! |
