Topps

The Topps Company, Inc., manufactures chewing gum, candy and collectibles. Based in New York, New York, Topps is best known as a leading producer of basketball cards, football cards, baseball cards, hockey cards and other sports and non-sports themed trading cards.

Company history

Topps itself was founded in 1938, but the company can trace its roots back to an earlier firm, American Leaf Tobacco. Founded in 1890 by Morris Shorin, the American Leaf Tobacco Co. imported tobacco to the United States and sold it to other tobacco companies. (American Leaf Tobacco should not be confused with the American Tobacco Company, which monopolized U.S.-grown tobacco during this period.)

American Leaf Tobacco encountered difficulties during World War I, as it was cut off from Turkish supplies of tobacco, and later as a result of the Great Depression. Shorin's sons, Abram, Ira, Philip, and Joseph, decided to focus on a new product but take advantage of the company's existing distribution channels. To do this, they relaunched the company as Topps, with the name meant to indicate that it would be "tops" in its field. The chosen field was the manufacture of chewing gum, selected after going into the produce business was considered and rejected.

Let Me Love You

by: Da Buzz

Tonight, I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Let me love you tonight
How can I make you want me?
How can I make it for real?
I wanna love you, forever
I hope that you feel the same
I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years, I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight
I know you don't want to
Be without my love
And if you're gonna kiss me
You know that you'll have to stay
I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years, I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
In the light, I see your face
But only in my dreams
Let me be the one to hold your hand
And make you understand
Oh, let me love you
I want to make you feel alright
Yes, I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh baby, let me love you
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years, I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight
