The name of the song is Key Largo by Jimmy Buffet.

Hopefully someone will post it, I would also like a copy of this one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Key Largo was done by Rupert Holmes, the guy who sang the noxious Pina Colada song...

My books all attribute "Key Largo" to jazz musician Benny carter, but the name sure doesn't sound familiar to me. I think it was a top-40 song that came out in the late 70's. I'd say it would be a good idea to post this question on alt.music.lyrics and report back to us.

I belive the song was done by Bertie Higgins.

Thanks to Barry it sure gets easier when you have the right name:

KEY LARGO
(Bertie Higgins/Sonny Limbo)

Wrapped around each other
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each other’s arms,
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey, I was your hero
And you were my leading lady --

CHORUS: We had it all,
Just like Bogey and Bacall,
Starring in our own late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
(“Here’s looking at you, kid”)
Missing all the things we did,
We can find it once again, I know,
Just like they did in Key Largo.

Honey, can’t you remember,
We played all the parts,
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart —
Please say you will
Play it again,
‘Cause I love you still,
Maybe this can’t be the end.

Chorus:
We had it all... (Repeat chorus twice and fade).
