[donnkizz]

If i thought for a minute i had the voice to do this beautiful song justice Mr butler i would record it in a heartbeat

[sothebeach]

Ric you will never know what this song has meant to me over the years. When I first heard it in 1989 I was going though a major break up and it was this song that I listened to repeatedly after finding it on Kenny's Something Inside So Strong album. Thank you for putting pen to a beautiful song that will forever be one of my favorites!

This is an amazing song...unfortunately, at 43 yrs old from NY, I do not remember it...I would love, love for this song to be re-recorded by contemporaries, so that listeners could enjoy it....as far as I am concerned...Kenny and Glayds are awesome...and I will continue listening to them! Thanks!

[sorraheem]

If i knew THEN, what i kno NOW, i'd a found a way to make things workout SOMEHOW, smh.........sigh!!!!!!

[brandx01]

If only...if only...My love passed before this song was released...but it summed up the deepest feelings from my heart...Mr Butler...this was written from your spirit and Kenny and Gladys sang it from their spirit.

This song is pure 'beauty'.

Thank you.

[RicButler]

You are quite welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Now if I can just get someone else to record it!!

@RicButler

Mr. Butler this song writing is pure genius. Songs like this captured the essence of 1980s soft rock. Songs written by yourself, Richard Marx, Dave Grusin, David Foster, Michael Masser, the list goes on. Many of these songs start off slow with gentle vocals which are purely chilling, and then rise with passion with a bridge or towards the end of the song. Truly some of the most thought-provoking lyrics and music ever written. As a pianist, I truly appreciate this music style.

best song

[RicButler]

As the co-writer of this song, I thank you all for your kind comments.

@RicButler Mr. Butler, I want to thank you for giving me the biggest gift of my sophomore year in high school. I had never been in love when I first heard this, but the 45 sang me to sleep many many nights when I was 15-16 years old. What a wonderful, soothing sound, and such spellbinding lyrics. You shared such a gift with the world with this song.

[ulij20]

Definitely one of the most underrated songs of all time. I remember hearing this all the time in the spring of 1990! Love it!

[SuperChristena]
