    My momma sent this song to me 2 months before she passed away on June 29th 2020. She just wanted me to be the best man in the world for my wife. You were such a strong single parent momma. I love you with all my heart RIP Pauline Chavez

    Listen to the lyrics people! A real man appreciating his lady, the intimacy, being next to her and being so grateful for her love. (To whisper words to make you feel like a woman)....Lord have mercy!!!!!!

    This song explains everything. I had never heard it until I left my wife. Now after 4 years of being a part, by the Grace of God we will be back in each other's arms one day. Through Him, all things are possible.

    One and a half years ago I found/located an old love/wonderful friend who I lost touch with for 18 years. Found him when I Googled him, messaged him and we have one of those 'forever' friendships!! We went to Europe a year ago and it was wonderful! He is visiting in December. He sent this song to me on my i-phone. How lucky can a girl get??

      I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate because my 2nd fiancee who I was going to marry last year in November, died in August last year. This song reminds me of the lovely fiancee I'm with now, like many other love songs that remind me of how lucky I am to have her in my life.

      This is so touchy. I have the same feelings for my first love, which I'm connected with now. This was one of our favourite songs when we were in love once. (1982-1984). Love you, Erik for the rest of my life, even tho we're not together.

    Touching words.........
    Just to be close to you girl
    Just for a moment, well just for an hour
    Just to be close to you girl
    Oh well ah baby aw
    You know I've been thru so many changes in my life girl
    Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
    Aw and then again I've been down real low where
    There was no one in my life who needed me
    Aw and I found that material things I thought had so much value
    Aw girl didn't really have any value at all
    There was a lonely man
    A man with no direction, with no purpose
    With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me
    Aw girl then you, then you came into my life
    You made my jagged edges smooth
    You made my direction so clear and you aw woman
    You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl

    This describes my life so perfectly minus the getting the woman part- I've been so lonely since my divorce in 2010. I've dated different women and none fill the void in my heart. I have turned to material things, and that doesn't fill it either. I am 48 now and getting older. I am still waiting for that special lady that will love and caress me till my dying days.
