Sobre el álbum
En 1992, en la cúspide de su popularidad, Michael Bolton lanzó Timeless: The Classics, un álbum compuesto íntegramente por versiones de grandes clásicos del soul y del pop. Lejos de ser un simple disco de relleno, este trabajo se convirtió en un éxito rotundo, demostrando una vez más su extraordinaria habilidad para reinterpretar y hacer suyas canciones inmortales.
El concepto era arriesgado; sin embargo, el resultado fue excepcional. Michael Bolton seleccionó un repertorio de canciones que habían marcado su vida y las abordó con un respeto profundo pero con su inconfundible sello personal. Así, clásicos como "To Love Somebody" de los Bee Gees o "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" de The Righteous Brothers cobraron una nueva vida.
El álbum no se limitó a replicar los arreglos originales. Cada canción fue producida con el sonido grandilocuente y pulido característico de la época, lo que las acercó a una nueva audiencia. Funcionó como un puente entre generaciones, presentando estas joyas musicales a quienes no las conocían.
"Timeless: The Classics" es mucho más que un álbum de versiones. Es un homenaje sincero a la música que formó a Michael Bolton como artista y una demostración de su poder como intérprete, capaz de imprimir su emoción y su voz única en cualquier melodía.

Letra
When you just give love And never get love You'd better let love depart I know it's so and yet I know I can't get you out of my heart You made me leave my happy home You took my love and now you're gone Since I fell for you Love brings such misery and pain I know I'll never be the same Since I fell for you It's too bad, it's too sad But I'm in love with you You love me, then you snub me Oh, what can I do?

Letra
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all you Christmases be bright
