“You are my light, I have to go on
Have me anyway you want to
Just take care and love me
Til my tension’s gone

Cause you are my starship
Come take me up tonight
And don’t be late

Yes, you are my starship
Come take me up tonight
And don’t be late
And don’t you come too soon”

From his latest album, “Timeless“, (Verve/2008) Kenny Lattimore delivers a stirring rendition of the Norman Connors classic, “You Are My Starship”, composed by Michael Henderson (1977).
