Williams, Deniece - The Boy I Left Behind Lyrics
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba
As that train pulls out, I look back
At the tears falling from his eyes
Something in his lost expression
Seems to be asking why I go
Funny even I don't know
And I don't know where I'm going to
And I wonder what I'll find
And I think of how things might have been
With the boy I left behind
But I know there are two directions
To each and every railroad track
Does he know that I'm coming back
And I don't know where I'm going to
And I wonder what I'll find
And I think of how things might have been
With the boy I left behind
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba
Baby, baby, baby
Comin' at you, baby
Whoo-whoo-whoo...
Whoa-whoa-whoa...
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, can't you hear me calling your name
Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo...
Calling after you, after you, after you...

This is the album that got me hooked all those years ago... #Songbird
What a voice!!! Sing it, Niecy!!!
This is one of Deniece's most prolific tunes. It should have been a theme song on a movie soundtrack. And voice is OFF THE CHAIN! Never heard such a distinguish voice. I reccognize her when she is singing background for Wonder, Riperton, Flack, Taylor, Mangione, etc.
Another beautifully written Jimmy Webb song. ♡ I had Deniece's album. Love her voice, this album ♡ A hearty 'Thank You' to whomever included the credits/ arrangers, musicians, singers, photographer.. I Always look for the credits in Any project ♡

In the 1970's Deniece became a backup vocalist for Stevie Wonder as part of "Wonderlove".
She left Wonder in 1975 and after signing to Columbia Records, she teamed up with two famed producers: Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, and his frequent collaborator, Charles Stepney. Her 1976 debut album entitled This Is Niecy was released. The single "Free" reached No. 2 on the Black Singles chart, No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 1 on the British Singles chart. The album also featured "Cause You Love Me Baby" (which charted separately on the R&B chart as the flip side of "Free") and "That's What Friends Are For". She also shared a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with pop singer Johnny Mathis in 1978 with the duet "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late". The duet also topped the Black Singles and Adult Contemporary charts. Williams also topped the dance charts with her disco single "I've Got the Next Dance". Mathis and Williams also recorded the popular theme to the 1980s sitcom Family Ties, "Without Us". Williams moved on to the American Recording Company (ARC) in the early 1980s where she scored the top ten R&B smash hit "Silly" in 1981. The following year, yet another famed producer, Thom Bell, helped Williams score another number-one R&B chart-topper with her remake of The Royalettes' "It's Gonna Take a Miracle", which became a Top 10 pop hit as well, reaching No. 10. Williams released the album Let's Hear It for the Boy in 1984. The title track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was featured on the soundtrack to Footloose. The song would prove to be the biggest pop hit of her career - and the last. She also contributed vocals, along with Maurice White, to the song "And Then" from Weather Report's album Mr. Gone released in 1978. Williams continued releasing albums during the 1980s such as Hot On The Trail (1986), Water Under The Bridge (1987), and As Good As It Gets (1988), which featured her last Top Ten hit to date, "I Can't Wait", written by Skylark. However, in part due to a lack of promotion from her record label, her mainstream popularity faded. During this time, she hit a low point in her career and decided to reinvent herself.

I'm going to more profits. sing it lady
