Featured Unknown/Underrated Song*: "Time and Tide" by Basia

It would have been great to see what Basia could do over several years as an artist, but radio never gave her a chance.  She had another quality song in "New Day for You", which didn't receive airplay either.  "Time and Tide" only reached #26 in 1988:

"Time and Tide"
Basia
 
Written by Basia Trzetrzelewska and Danny White
 
 
It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows
when the time is right
I don't want to hurt
anybody but
can't help loving you

I never felt like this before
I know this is passion
worth waiting for
let love take take its course
that's the only thing
for us to do

 We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will
wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new

 Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last

 How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows
when the time is right
don't want to hurt
anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry

 We've got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as...
new

 It's a matter of time
only a matter of...
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
gonna last forever

 We got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you
