Dialogue - Michael Johnson

Dialogue
by Michael Johnson

Stranded in a waiting room
He turns to her
How do you do
I know the book you're reading
And I've always like his point of view
I am flying out of here
To somewhere I have been
Set out to find it years ago
And I'm finally heading in

Have you been to France
I hear it's wonderful this time of year
Have you really seen the English countryside, do people ride
All I've ever seen is Houston, it's flat and rainy and rich
California on my own and neither one quite fits

He has got the world to give and she is on her own
Together they can show each other what they cannot see alone

Cancel all your reservations, it's a now or never stand
Final call and off they go, leaving hand in hand

And he has got the world to give and she can bring him home
Together they can show each other what they cannot see alone
He has got the world to give and she can bring him home
Together they can show each other what they cannot see alone

He turns to her

It was 1979 when I left for CA so my future husband could figure out what he wanted in life. In 1981 he came after me and said he wanted me..he loved me. He does have the world to give and i was on my own but together we CAN show each other what we cannot see alone. I heard this song in 1982 and it brought me to tears. I have brought him home. Two wonderful children later and soon to be grandparents I want to thank you for ALL your Beautiful music! Sir you are AMAZING! love, Maria Pargh

Dialogue is Mcihael Johnson's signature song, and while it is his other hits (Doors, I'll Always Love You, Bluer than Blue) which get the airplay and posts, it is this one which best represents how gifted an artist he is. Tom Snow's brilliant words resonate with Michael Johnson's plaintive voice and the feeling is electric.

Back in the 80's ,this song inspired me to cancel all my reservations and move to Barcelona to the girl I loved....now I don't know where she is, but I named our daghter after her.I still have the record..thnx for posting this.

isn't this one of the most WONDERFUL songs ever...and it comes from the pen of tom snow, prolific hit writer...thank you for posting.

I know how that feels. It is painful, even after many years. It feels like there's a hole in my heart, and I pray to God to let me try again.

true words!

The song brings back the pain of being left behind...it's been years now. Even sadder.. the pain will be felt again...sad
