Riche and Ross ENDLESS LOVE
Endless Love
Diana Ross & Lionel Richie's "Endless Love" crowns our list of the top duets of all time -- and with good reason. It's not only the biggest No. 1 hit for either artist (it spent nine weeks at the top), but also clung to the chart for an amazing 27 weeks -- a lengthy run for a single back in 1981. Richie wrote the music and lyrics for the soundtrack tune from the Brooke Shields movie of the same name, and recruited diva Ross to accompany him on the song. "Endless" almost returned to the Hot 100 perch nearly 13 years later, when Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey's cover stalled at No. 2 on Oct. 1, 1994.
My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...
And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
(Ohhhhhh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
Oh
