WCD73 you are completely wrong. Benny tells you who the sixteen year old girl was. It was Angie McCartney. He tells everything. You have to look it up on youtube. Its under "fairwell to Angie" or sumthin. Besides he's from Chile. Not spanish harlem.
Benny Mardones wrote this song about a 16 year old girl that lived in his building in Spanish Harlem,her Father abandoned her and her family,and Benny felt sorry for her and even paid her to walk his dog,his friend asked who she was and he told him,that she was 16 and to leave her alone,and that's when this song was born!!!
Major props to you - thats exactly how I feel and couldnt have said it any better. This song still holds up almost 30 years later - and that is an incredible achievement. Benny still deserves to have far greater success than he's managed to achieve.

It's like having a dream where nobody has a heart
It's like having it all and watching it fall apart
And I would wait till the end of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can't measure my love there's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know
