I believe he dedicated this song to his longtime friend and songwriting partner, Howard "Howie" Greenfield. From the 1980 Elektra album "In The Pocket".

  • My husband taped this song for me in 1990 while I was studying in the US and he backed in NL. He filled the whole cassette tape with this song because I always ask him to rewind repeat! His tape accompanied me on countless road-trips. I lost my greatest friend on 18 Feb. Yesterday I had this song played at his cremation.

    We never say goodbye. Somehow, subconsciously I think we do not feel there is a need to.

    At long last you are free to go, Henk. See you on the other side, from Cindy

  • Smitty played keyboards on this album . . . a master of so many styles from the sweet to jazz to funk to rock and pop. Nice to hear him with Neil, such a beautiful talent.

  • I had forgotton this song until it started. Very emotional

  • Brings my dearest friend to the surface of my heart no matter what else has weighed down my ole heart, and his warmth floods me again. Refreshing his friend.

  • Man I love this song

  • Thanks 6891man for posting this song. The lyrics are so deep and meaningful. I wish to dedicate this song to all my friends out there - past, present and future - also to those have left us for a better place.

  • @Blurgasm Aww I'm very sorry to hear that :'(

  • My mum passed away 2 months ago and she used to play this when I was a kid. Brought back alot of good memories =)

  • When this song came out, my best friend gave me a copy on cassette and said that it was a song about us. She and her 9 year old son died in a car accident in 1998, and I hadn't heard this song in so many years. It brings back memories. Thank you for posting it.

  • OMG I have wanted to hear this song for decades -I DONT KNOW U BUT - I JUST LOVE U FOR POSTING THIS -
