  • It's absolutely allowed.  As a matter of fact, based solely on the fact that you are including Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine", you can do whatever you want.  For an old song its still got it, swag that don't lag.

    I have a couple of tracks by him that are from remix compilations.  Love 'em.

    Billabong Eyes

     

    Your eyes are a billabong,

    deep dark brown as of tee-tree tannins,

    where-in everything reflects with brilliant clarity.

     

    As I gaze therein, I startle

    at my own reflection,

    the animation of my face as we converse.

    Is that, I wonder, how you see me?

    Is that how I am to others,

    the literal translation of reflected light across a retina?

    Is that how we all are to one another?

     

    But if I were to touch your billabong surface

    ever so gently, feather zephyr photon lightly,

    to what depth would the ripples reach?

    What sound waves of voice might penetrate?

    and to where? and how?

     

    Scooping a handful of billabong water,

    finding it limpid in my palm,

    tasting rain fresh and tannin dry...

    Is this water, this essence of life, this taste,

    as much as I can ever know

    of the innards of you?

     

    Your eyes are a billabong,

    deep dark brown as of tee tree tannins,

    and yet a light, bright, crisp-focused presence.

    Light-bright-crisp is your mind

    that trusts implicitly your senses, your sanity,

    wherein everything reflects with brilliant clarity.

    And for this I love you,

    my friend of billabong eyes.
