Orleans

Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. more »

Your love is slippin' away, yeah
A little bit more each and every day
I'm losing you in every way
Just like the leaves fallin' off of a tree
I feel your love dyin' gradually
And I know your love is slippin' away

This mean old jealous feeling
(Jealous feeling) sure got a hold on me
I know you been runnin' around
Do you think I'm too blind to see?

I know your love is slippin' away
I know your love is slippin' away

You're tellin' me it's not the end
But why try to pretend?
You can't deceive me, darlin'
And still be my friend
You got that look in your eye
It never lies, gonna make me cry
And I know your love is slippin' away

I'm afraid of losing you
But I don't like playing these games
There's no need for all your lyin'
No need for more of this pain

I know your love is slippin' away
Yes, it is, girl
I know your love is slippin' away
Day by day, it's gone away
I know your love is slippin' away
No matter what I say, day by day
I know that nothing I do can keep your love
From slippin' away now
From slippin' away, girl, no

I know your love is slippin' away
Uh huh, yeah
I know your love is slippin' away
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
I know your love is slippin' away
(I know your love is slippin' away)
I know it's slippin' away
I know your love is slippin' away
(I know your love is slippin'
Away) There it goes
I know your love is slippin' away
Yeah, bye, bye, baby, bye, bye
I know your love is slippin' away
You know I'm gonna miss
You when you're gone
I know your love is slippin' away
Don't let me go
I know your love is slippin' away
But your love, your love, your
Love, it's all slippin' away, girl

I know your love is slippin' away
What can I do when I
I know your love is slippin' away
'Cause I can't shake it, I can't fake it
Girl i know your love is slippin' away
There it goes round the corner, it's gone
I know your love is slippin' away
So long, girl, breaking my heart
I know your love is slippin' away
Oh, baby, what can I do when I
I know your love is slippin' away
Here it goes, here it goes i know
