The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
"I've given up, stop.
I've given up, stop.
Ah, ah, ah, ooh-ooh
I've given up, stop, you tangle my emotions.
I've given up, honey please, admit it's over."
Not sure if anybody knows this group but I think you will know the song (and then might be able to guess the group) That here goes.
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time

I kinda know the group. The lead singer has been referred to by one critic as a "veteran cosmic rocker."
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
The song made it to #9 on the top 100 in 1986 and was played on a heavy rotation on MTV. Also reached #1 on the Adult Contemporary or most popular songs on mainstream radio and charted # 2 on the mainstream rock chart.

This was on MTV?
"IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS."
The Moody Blues' biggest commercial hit was in the 80s, "Sur La Mer." This was one of the 2 hit singles off of it. (The other was "I Know You're Out There Somewhere.")
I remember even into the 90's hearing "In Your Wildest Dreams" and still getting a lot of radio time. The other hit from the same album Sur La Mer, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" had a video that was somewhat of a sequel to the video to "In Your Wildest Dreams".
It's Wordpup that plays the piano. I can barely get sound from a tuba. But I forgot it was my turn. Oh, but I can use a song Wordpup would want me to use....
"You know the rules and so do I.
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of.
You wouldn't get this from any other guy."
"We're no strangers to love.
You know the rules and so do I.
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of.
You wouldn't get this from any other guy."
"We've known each other for so long.
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it.
Inside, we both know what's been going on.
We know the game and we're gonna play it."

Did you ever hear this George?
I finally got to listen to it. Not familiar, but a nice tune.

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand."

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see."
IMHO, the best moment for this song occurred during a live performance of it during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade..... where it was not particularly EXPECTED, but performed by the original artist nonetheless.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

That's it. The music video's visuals are "Alice in Wonderland." Sometimes I picture the Mad Hatter as looking like Tom Petty.

The rhyme scheme reminds me of Bob Dylan, but obviously this isn't his.

It would, but the artists sound nothing alike, musically.
