  • beautiful love song in the 90's

  • This song reminds me of the Love of my Life.

  • reminds me of my 1st love

  • im addicted with this song!!!!!its very nice,,and i think black singers are the best singers!!no offend guys to all whites its just my own opinion!!!!

  • Omg. this is a great song..

    Abraham McDonald killed this song on Oprahs show!

  • Reminds me of the greatest guy in the world.....

  • The only lady now to match Oleta's class is Leona, she is a lovely girl and says she will never pose naked...now that is class...Lady GaGa et al. is a good singer but disgrace as regards influencing young girls....

  • I love her voice....

  • Where do this woman live?

  • You can reach me by i10

  • Bravo...Perfect song...

  • NICE

  • For all my 3rd MDSC guys still in the sandbox.......all my love and I miss all of you and pray everyday you get back to your families safe and sound...from Dr. Bogger

  • nice!

  • VOZ DIVINA!SENSACIONAL!

  • It is a beautifully composed piece, sung perfectly by a lovely woman. This song is hauntiing and sometimes difficult to listen to. 20 years ago I heard it while skiing in Vermont. I was instantly overwhelmed by longing for a young woman I'd begun dating weeks prior. She wasn't on the ski trip with me and my brother, I called her that evening and talked her into flying up. We had a great time and continued the relationship for a couple of months. Soon thereafter she died in a car accident.

  • such a beautiful voice

  • luv this song, Oleta has a very powerful Voice.

  • iI just love this woman s voice this song is one of the most beautifull love song EVER

  • Absolutly Brilliant

  • her voice is beautiful and she is talented and amazing xxxxxxxxxx

  • for real man...this song will always be a classic, and it will always be delicate and expressive. LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • She's a great interpreter of the song.

  • mematxtn -- my EXACT thoughts LOL

  • she played at our auditorium yesterday night at El camino college and she is awesome :D

  • xtw1st3dx she is one of the best singers ever you dont know music

  • This song was around the time of the Gulf War and reminds me of that era. My wife and I drove to Las Vegas and got married about that time.

  • bahaha (:

  • An awesome talent...pure and strong.

  • This is what's wrong with popular music.. it's so "popular" in the juvenile junior high school sense. Adams never pranced on stage half-naked, never had a "wardrobe malfunction". She sings -- beautifully. And still doesn't seem to have the huge audience her talent merits.

  • I agree totally with you. This song is so beautiful and, unlike Britney and the other skanks, she really can sing.

  • So under-rated with such a big voice love her much!

  • She did this so beautifully that you forget that it was an cover. And as far as i'm concerned this is and will always be Oleta Adams' song

  • excellent

  • i love the song

  • Minha MÁRCIA, essa música tocou no dia 29/10/2009, em um dos momentos felizes que só você sabe me proporcionar. Acredite, TE AMO do fundo do meu coração...

  • LOVE IT!

  • lucky guy !.

  • one of the best classic songs...

  • ravenluc, you know a benosay, rhiainta, and keyshia out in cole songs deserve those kinds of comments! This is real music and real music deserves a real comment!

  • what a great talent.i love you

    oleta.tom.

  • Yes, I agree with you BruSHyourselfOFF, tbh someone like today's Alex Burke could probably sing this well, but she would more than likely be dressed like a hooker to sing it. Shame..... back then women were taken for their talents, not bodies....

  • Beautiful song. It makes me cry whenever I listen to it, probably because it reminds me of a friend who lives across the country.

  • Ok, so essentially she is saying that short of being in ICU or in jail, you have no excuse for being separated from the one you love. However comma, doesn't it work both ways? Instead of sitting there dictating all of the voluminous ways in which he can arrive, why won't she take some initiative???

  • Thinkin' a little bit too deep aren't we?

  • Hey it cuts both ways, one person cannot put forth all of the effort...anyway songs with great lyrical content should encourage dissection.

  • she said "if you can"

    I only comment just to show that you're not funny

    just saying. That's all.

    ;P

  • Nor was I trying to be.

  • then it's just plain incorrect.

    sorry

  • I'm not sorry about it. My opinion is that moving mountains and having a sense of urgency to be with someone theoretically ought to not be a one way street. This song is speaking from a singular point of view, and it leaves a an otherwise analytical person wondering. End of discussion on my end...

  • this girl gives me the shivers with her voice

  • If you want to see in injustice check out Ashanti and Kenny Chesney sing this song,,,,makes me want to vomit

  • if you want to vomit check out Ahsanti and Kenny Chesneys version of this song and read the comments

  • these woman living in the earth(what voice)what music!i hear a milion time again.and over again,again

  • Now this is what music is suppose to be about! I still get choked up when I here this song its raw and beautiful at the same time.

  • I Love You!

  • Very few songs give me chills anymore...this one always did and does...love it!

  • Beautiful! I love her voice!

  • hermosa cancion!!

  • Doesn' t this video remind you of the musical era when women were still portrayed as respectable human beings instead of sex toys that should be objectified 24/7?

  • I LOVE U......

  • superb song

  • they don't make 'em like oleta anymore. her voice is like no other; and 've never heard any voice like hers since the first i heard this classic over a decade ago. it is on of my top 10 of all times, no kidding!

  • WOW

  • No one today has the voices of Oleta, Phyllis and Stephanie. I turned top 40 off 10 years ago and have never looked back. I haven't out grown cartoons yet, just an industry that is cartoonish. Thanks for the video. I'm off to look for some other singers,maybe Freddy Jackson and Johnny Gill.

  • Wow!!! What a performance!!!! Wow!!!

  • What a beautiful and classy lady! What a talent!

  • EXQUISITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You wouldn't know it but Oleta's version is actually a cover. :]

  • so who's the original singer?

  • Brenda Russell. She's worked with Earth, Wind and Fire, Sting and other artists. The song itself has been used in Broadway productions and has been sung by various other artists.

  • I love the lyrics.

  • Beautiful Song

  • Number 1 kaoroke song in the world.

  • I have been trying to figure out who sings this song for like 40 minutes. It's been frustrating. I haven't heard it in a good 10 years.

  • I love her.

  • her voice is really low

  • Boy you have excellent taste in music. I am in love with this woman. She is so beautiful!

  • I LOVE YOU....

  • I just saw her in concert in L.A. Wow what an amazingly talented singer and musician. She did songs from her new CD as well as the favorites. I love real singers.....

  • The lyrics are formulaic, but Oleta's vocals make this one of the most powerful singles ever. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful!

  • dhis song iz beatiful makes me wanna get married to dis song* just get here if you can*

  • ...Timeless, beautious & endearing. Do you suppose that Miss Oleta knew beforehand, How amazing this song would be or think it's effect would be so everlasting? Perhaps one of the tokens of greatness, even perhaps that of 'Legend.' No other could sing this great piece any better, undoubtedly. In a level of unsurpassed class...Miss Oleta is without dispute; Beautious, Spot-On & Adorable...I can only hope it's rewards has touched her as it has so many of us...

  • One of the few songs that make me cry even tho Im a man and Im not ashamed to admit it makes me cry!

  • Comment removed

  • where in the hell do ypu live?

  • ....for you Oleta.... I will catch a rocket ship to get ya!

  • Awesome singing! Beautiful song! It makes me cry whenever I listen to it, because it reminds me of a friend who lives across the country and I wish he was closer to me. Beautiful singing!

  • Brenda  is nice but Oleta rules...

  • It's haunting-but it should be the Army (Military) spouse Anthem. I remember hearing it while my husband was deployed to Iraq for the 2nd time-I sang it ALL the time. Tears just rolled-and they do now-3 years after his return. Beautiful-and it just says how we feel while they are gone. GET HERE if you can (safely, of course)!

  • All this time I didn't know she looked like THAT

    What a honey!

    o..O

  • my dance teacher renee did a lyrical dance in our recital in june 2008

    it was awesome and this is a really good song only renee danced to a different version. a male singer sang the version that she danced to and frankly, it was better than this

  • The first time I heard this song I cried like someone swiped the last oreo and I still had a glass of milk. It still effects me the same way. This is one of the most beautiful and touching songs ever... anyone who has a love separated by miles knows this song hits the nail on the head. I don't care how you get here, but get here if you can.

  • Before Alicia Keys was even @ piano key A1.....:)

    Good Stuff!!!

  • Please Bunfrey!!!!

  • Oleta's eyes are incomparably beautiful, this song has the best video of her especially the scene in the blue room. The entire "Circle of One" album is very underrated - buy it and listen to the songs on some lonely ole night - you'll know what I mean.

    Bright Blessings in Christ

  • When I first heard this song I went crazy. I just love this song and this woman, you can tell she feels passionate about this song she seems to sore with each chord

  • a moving & touching song...

  • Written by the wonderfully talented Brenda Russell . . . of Piano In The Dark fame! She also does a lovely version!

  • a strong, powerful commanding love song.

  • wow! amazingly powerful voice!

  • Beautiful song but Brenda Russell still owns the definitive version.

  • Nice voice. She sings it like she is proclaiming a poet, telling a story, touching your hart, dancing whit you. Its like I feel h
