Captain and Tennille

I cannot believe it.  While browsing the net for some information and material for some of my previous posts, I came across an article that the marriage of Captain and Tennille could come to an end, with Toni Tennille now talking to a divorce attorney.  That came as a total shock; because of their hits Love Will Keep Us Together, Muskrat Love, Disney Girls and Do That To Me One More Time, I had such a rose colored view on life and love.  I was so enthralled with Toni Tennille's lovely voice, as much a blend of raw husky power and rich tones as any one can imagine.  I remember the duo most for Toni's song They Way I Want to Touch You, written especially for Daryl Dragon:

THE WAY I WANT TO TOUCH YOU

I never wanted

I never wanted to touch a man

The way that I want to touch you

I never wanted

I never wanted to love a man

The way that I want to love you

You are sunshine, you are shadows

You are morning, you are night

You are hard times, you are good times

You are darkness, you are light

I never wanted

I never wanted to give a man

The things that I want to give you

I never wanted

I never wanted to live with a man

The way that I want to live with you

You are sunshine, you are shadows

You are morning, you are night

You are hard times, you are good times

You are darkness, you are light

I never wanted

I never wanted to love a man

The way that I want to love you

I never wanted

I never wanted to touch a man

The way that I want to touch you

The way that I want to touch you now

The way that I want to touch you

The way that I want to touch you now

The way that I want to touch you

Enjoy the present, for tomorrow may not be as abundant and as joyful.  Such is life; sometimes even the sweetest stories of love must come to an end.  May you both find peace and happiness!
