John is one of the best singers in the world. His range and quality of voice is amazing. He is also one of the nicest artists around. Had the pleasure of working with him during the late 80s-early 90s at BMG in the US. It's a crime the States didn't appreciate his talent. He, like Daryl Hall, can sing anything. Really appreciates his bandmates. Class act all the way. FTR, Thanks for the vids. Keep em coming.
Thank you for this immortal song sir John. they dont make music/songs as beautiful as this one nowadays. I introduced this song to my 13 yr old son who also loves to sing and now he couldn't stop watching your videos. :) thanks!!
@ FreeTheRocks Thanks a lot for all your videos of John Farnham. I love his music for 25 years. Now I´m 42 and he´s one of my absolute favorites. But: I´ve never seen him live. Germany is simply too small for such a big one like him.
No John did NOT write this song. Go grab your CD and read the liner notes. It was written by Richard Marx and Phil Buckle. That is why Richard Marx performed this song LIVE with John on television. I have that on video as well.

This was our first dance at our wedding, such beautiful words and emotion and now i sing it to my twin baby girls :)
This song is so beautiful! I love John's voice!
This is such a beautiful song for anyone's son (or daughter).
John is up there with the very best of the best and gives 110% every time.
This song is a perfect dedication to all of our children... what did we do before the day we set our eyes on them??? Is there a greater love...?
I adore this song....we had it played in the church on the day we were married....still brings a tear to the eye....thank you so much for posting it.
We had this song in the church at our wedding in 1994
I so love this song, "the reason why". It defines what i feel for the person i love...

@sharzberry There's a link on the side of the page to John Farnham and Richard Marx performing this song where he attributes it to Richard Marx. :)
In Australia of course...:)
Richard Marx and Phil Buckle wrote this song.
Yep...sure have.
Hi FTR,
I'm intrigued to hear where you have seen John??
For some reason I didnt like the recorded version of this song. This is a good live performance though.
