    Lyrics:
    Whispering in his ear
    My magic potion for love
    Telling him I'm sincere
    And that there's nothing too good for us
    And I just got to be me, free, free
    Whispering in his ear
    My magic potion for love
    Telling him I'm sincere
    And that there's nothing too good for us
    But I want to be free, free, free
    And I just got to be me, yeah, me, me

    My father loved Denise Williams so much. He played this song and other songs by her . He passed on Valentine’s Day 2020. I was in office max last week to get a blow up picture of him for the funeral. As I sit waiting in there .. the worker played Denise Williams song “Free” and then another song by her right afterwards. I knew that was my Dad communicating to me that he is ok. I almost broke down in the store. What are the odds that out of all the songs the employee could have played off his phone, it would be her. We miss u dad. You were only 62 yrs old smh 🤎

    Denice, I know you probably won’t read this but. I know you are a nurse. This song of yours helped me get through a bad relationship back in early ‘77. So I guess you were still practicing nursing after you quit and didn’t know it. Coincidentally, I eventually married a nurse, for whom is the best.
    Thanks for you’re song and the subliminal guidance you gave as a health care professional.

      Hi from Providence, RI, relationships take humility, trust, the ability to communicate feelings NOT thoughts, unconditional forgiveness and a complete lack of keeping score via a resentment list, true love is difficult because there are two types in the world: givers and takers, anything outside of two givers, it's destined to fail, today, so many people have mental health issues they never address and carry their baggage into relationships, somewhere along the line, the team, two friends, simply implode and it's sad but it's indicative of larger issues, remember: you are not here to make anyone happy, nor are people here to make you happy...that's not reality
