marvin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 People need to listen to Eddie Money's version to put Eric's version into perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marathon mama Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I love Eric's version of "Boardwalk Baby"! And even though it was recorded by another artist, I still think it has a shot at being a big hit song by Eric. I also like other songs that Diane Warren wrote, including "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" recorded by Aerosmith: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Diane had a run in the late 80's and 90's where she wrote or co-wrote tons of big hits! I think even Eric was in awe of her successful formula...And I still really like "My Heart Stops", dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Besides Eric, I think that someone else should have recorded the song "Boardwalk Baby". Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Boardwalk BabyAn endless kissIn the moonlit mistA blanket on the sand Ooh you held my handRememberA radioWas playing soft and lowAnd we would sing alongAnd time went onForeverWe were two shadows swaying slowlyFelt like the stars shined for us solelyOn a summer nightYou held me tightYou stole my heart awayYou were my Boardwalk BabyYou used to drive me crazyAll of those nightsAll of those nightsWhen you were mineWe stole the night togetherWe made it last foreverYou'd always beYou'd always beMy Boardwalk BabyTender nightsFar from the city lightsOh I can still remember That sweet surrenderWhen we kissedThe gentle breezeWhispered to you and meThis love will last foreverYeah we’d stay togetherJust like thisThe sound of the waves, like distant thunderThe moon cast a spell that took us underOn a summer nightI held you tightI stole your heart awayYou were my Boardwalk BabyYou used to drive me crazyAll of those nightsAll of those nightsWhen you were mineWe stole the night togetherWe made it last foreverYou'd always beYou'd always beMy Boardwalk BabyRemember the time when time passed so slow?Remember the time I held you so close? Oh I’d give anythingTo hold you nowWon’t you come out tonight?Let's meet by the boardwalk, babyC'Mon and drive me crazyAll through the nightLike all those nightsWhen you were mineWe'll steal one night togetherWe'll make it last foreverYou'll always beYou'll always beMy Boardwalk BabyYou were my Boardwalk BabyYou used to drive meDrive me crazyMy-my-my-my-myMy Boardwalk Baby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregkevinw Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 billy.. good call on "it should have been me"...love that lost gem. guess it depends on what you consider a "hit" to be. i sort of dismissed it after a few listens comparing it to MMLC..but found myself singing the chorus later in the day...guess thats why they call it a hook..

Betsey Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have been missing from this board for way too long!! Came back to find this gem and all I can say is...Clive probably should have called it a day after passing on this. It's a great song!

angelina Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 good to "see" you Betsey....BTW I must've played this song 10 times today!BTW...who knew Diane Warren sang so well? Those are some nice background vocals there by one of the most prolific songwriters of the past 60 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi June...it's been awhile! Go back to the home page- about 1/3 of the way down you can click on a link that will take you to the thread on 'Boardwalk Baby'. One more click and you'll be singing the chorus right along with Eric. Hope you're not planning on going to sleep right away...you'll be humming the song all night long Here- this will make it easier: http://www.ericcarmen.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=375426#Post375426 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
