FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY (STAYING ALIVE, 1983)

Though it pales much in comparison to the now classic Saturday Night Fever, its sequel Staying Alive still provides great soundtrack. One of which is the ballad Finding Out The Hard Way sung by one of the stars of the movie itself, Cynthia Rhodes wherein she acts, dances and sings. Hers was one of the great vocals during the ’80’s.


FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY
sung by: Cynthia Rhodes

I can’t take all the blame, now can I
It takes more than one to lose
Such a fine line
That lies between but holds together
I turn to night, turn to the time

Whoa, whoa, and I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away

A moment gone is gone forever
It’s like water through the hands
And you spin the wheel of misfortune
Watching the time, we’re livin’ in love

No, better find another hallway
It’s gonna take some tears, a little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away

I keep reachin’ out, come up empty handed
Didn’t I let you down or did I leave you stranded

And I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away

Oh, and I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, a little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away

Start to fade, fadin’ away
Start to fade, fadin’ away
Fade away
