England Dan & John Ford Coley were an
American soft rock duo
composed of Danny Wayland "England Dan" Seals and John Edward "John Ford" Coley,
active throughout the 1970s. Native Texans,
they are best known for their 1976 single "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight",
a Nº 2 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and a Nº 1 Adult
Contemporary hit. After they disbanded, Seals
began performing as Dan Seals and launched a country music career through the 1980s which produced 11 Nº 1 country hits.
Nights Are Forever is the fourth album by the
pop rock duo England Dan
& John Ford Coley. It was the pair's breakthrough
album. "I'd Really
Love to See You Tonight" became one of their
biggest hits, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The follow-up
single, "Nights Are
Forever Without You," also proved successful,
peaking at #10.
The album was produced by Kyle Lehning. Both
top ten singles were written by Parker McGee.
Joe Viglione write on Allmusic,
"Nights Are Forever was the breakthrough album for Dan Seals and John
Coley after some sincere and excellent work on A&M Records in the early
'70s. Two of their biggest hits were the title track and the beautiful "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight."
Those songs are a good indication of the fine performances this 1976 album
contains. The duo's originals like "Long Way Home" and the Dan
Fogelberg-ish "Westward Wind" could have been hits as well displaying
superb musicianship and delicate vocals." He also praises the work of songwriter Parker McGee as well
as producer Kyle Lehning.
Hello, yeah, it's been a while
Not much, how 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called
I guess, I really just wanted to talk to you
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for a while
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars
around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars
around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
I won't ask for promises
So, you don't have to lie
We've both played that game before
Say "I love you", then say
"Goodbye"
I'm not talking 'bout moving in (I'm not
talking)
And I don't want to change your life ('bout
changing your life)
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars
around
And I'd really love to see you tonight (I'd
really love to see you tonight)
I'm not talking 'bout moving in (I'm not
talking)
And I don't want to change your life ('bout
changing your life)
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars
around
And I'd really love to see you tonight (I'd
really love to see you tonight)
I'm not talking 'bout moving in (I'm not
talking)
And I don't want to change your life ('bout
changing your life)
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars
around.
