Lyrically, one the most beautifull and honest songs ever written about a relationship. I know. I felt every word when I met the love of my life back in '77. You ONLY feel this when you find true love. I had it for 40 years until they passed away. This song will forever hold a place in my heart. 💙
I was 18 when this came out, and it always reminds me of my first love. We haven't spoken for 35 years, but whenever I hear this, I am that 18 year old girl again, and I am in love for the first time . . .
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
Every time I hear this it reminds me of a man I loved with all my heart. He could have written this. He just let me go and I still feel the hurt years later. I wonder why he couldn't even keep me as a friend. I miss him terribly. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I hope he at least remembers me a little.
I tried but I was ignored. I was thinking of trying again just to say a few things so I could get closure and move on. Doesn't matter if he ignores me anymore.
@@axlrosesson6300 I actually did try and I wished him a happy birthday, a merry Christmas and happy new year and he acknowledged me all 3 times. That made me feel a little better. I realize that I guess that's all he's capable of.
I remember this song from 1977 as it was not long after we got married. My dear husband died at 57 and this was one of our favourite songs so the lyrics are very poignant to me - One of the best love songs ever written.
Hi i want to thank everyone that was touched by this song. Yes i am the culprit. I play it many times during the day Glad you all enjoyed it. Love from Texas
Greetings all, Pastor Mike here. This is a great song and the lyrics are, in my opinion, quite profound. I was in college after military service when this song came out in 1977. The words that really resonate with me are, "I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truths....", and, "I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie." Those words can be applied in differing ways. Anyway, I truly enjoy well written and performed music. Take care everyone, Best Wishes, and for those who believe, I bid you, GOD Bless. Pastor Mike. 3-16-17 @ 9:53 P.M.
You're mixing the lyrics. He first states that his GIRL asks him if he loves her. He responds by saying, "I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie". This means that HE DOESN'T LOVE HER, and would rather tell the truth than lie to her. He later states, "Sometimes I want to BREAK YOU and DRIVE YOU TO YOUR KNEES, but sometimes I want to hold you tenderly". This is the sign of a physically abusive relationship, where the man beats the woman and then holds her tenderly, after she is conned into beLIEving that she were resonsible and deserved being beaten and "driven to her knees". This is why many women in abusive relationships continue with other abusive relationships. They are incapable of standing-up for themselves and have been psychologically-dependent on abusive men. This is NOT a good thing!
The words fit me and my boyfriend so much. We have had are ups and downs. We have drifted off. Then love comes back. It’s like a roller coaster ride. That it ended to a wedding possible. Not there but close. We have a deeper love now then before. But your song brings tears to my eyes because that’s us. Thinks for your words. I will remember your ding in the wedding
You sang to your wife on your wedding day, that: " sometimes I want to BREAK YOU and DRIVE YOU TO YOUR KNEES?" Seriously? You also sang that instead of being a strong man; a pillar for her when facing life's adversities, that you'll instead break down and cry until you both die? Seriously? No wonder she's now your EX-wife.
There are great songs out there, it's just that you have to hunt a lot harder for them. I would recommend Cruxshadows to you. So many songs from their 20+ year run. Matchstick girl, Monument, Go Away and A Promise Made Wedding Day to name a few. Of course I also value other great singers like Meatloaf as well.
LISTEN to the LYRICS. At the very first line, she asks him if he loves her. He responds by saying, he'd rather tell her the truth, (that he doesn't love her), versus telling her a lie. He later states: "AT TIMES I WANT TO 'BREAK YOU and DRIVE YOU TO YOUR KNEES, and then hold you tenderly". This is the sign of a physically/psychologically abusive relationship, where the man beats the woman and then tenderly holds her, once she acknowledges that she acted-up and was responsible for the beatings. He also states that he wants to hold his broken woman and cry together until they both DIE? Woman want strong men; not ones who want to break-down and cry forever, ffs. Note: this song is NOT about men who are emotionally-detatched. No woman wants such a man, but no woman wants a wimpy man who breaks-down and cries when facing lifes adversities and also wants to beat her and drive her to her knees. Wth?
@@tjmmcd1 You've got it completely wrong "Hill was inspired to write "Sometimes When We Touch" from a previous relationship. In an interview with CBN News in 2017, Hill explained that the song was about being in love with someone who did not have similar feelings for him, "She was interested in another man, so that was breaking my heart." Are you a bully I wonder"?
@David Clark I love this song it reminds of someone close to my heart but never been mine because we both struggles from insecurities.. Men are born womanizer it destroys trust most of the time ending in breakups😔😔😔
To my dearest husband, so loved, now gone...Missing you, "I want to hold you 'til I die, until we both break down and cry. I want to hold you, until the fear in me, subsides." RIP, EWPjr.
Makes me think of the only woman I ever truly loved unconditionally. 23 years ago I managed to screw that up royally and even today at 53 I still miss and love her so much . Gina I'm sorry I hurt you.

People who have empathy for their fellow man will love this song and of course those who have known Real Love Many just feel lust and mistake it for Love Those will be the ones who hate songs as good as this one The original version by Dan Hill where they use whats known as PEDAL POINT is the version to listen to for those listeners seeking Musical Perfection
Songs like this are a memory.... Nothing in today's song writing equal or come close to the feelings expressed in the songs of yesteryear. Many of those that were not alive who did not hear these songs when they were new and come across them, they are grateful for the words of love, encouragement, healing...... lessons learned. Peace to all as always.....MB
thank you for not misleading me with a lie, I have fond memories of this song, I know we were both young, we were 22, I have loved no one like I loved you, all this time I have been single i'm 47 now, and don't thing I will ever get over you!!!!
+joel maldonado How blessed are we to have this as first love. There is nothing quite like it but the next time it is different. It is lovely to have the opportunity to have it sit right on your heart and whenever something special happen you can smile when you think of it. So precious.
We all have that one hurt that will never go away but I hope you can find someone who will love you as much as you love them and then you can have true happiness. It took time but I found mine.
The lyrics of this song sums up my love life at the moment.I feel I can only totally be myself around this woman. But my pride and insecurities get to me every time I am about to tell her how I feel.
This song really has meaning. Even to those who have a special relationship with one they love ...between a man and a woman.. I know that feeling... this song says it all......
This is the first song I remember hearing. I remember that it made my heart ache so much. I didn't even listen to the words it was the feeling in his voice that made me so very sad, but in the weirdest and sweetest way. This song shaped my love for music and made it what it is today and I still get that bittersweet heartache when I hear it!!!
Just happen to have a stop at one of the bus terminals on my way home from school. Suddenly this song was played on the jukebox at the station and how I love this song. I played it again and again till I captured the lyrics and continue my journey till I reached home.
One of my "sing with a hairbrush in front of the miror" songs during my 'puppy-love' years thinking I had found true love at 12 years old. LMAO - sad thing is today at 53, I literally still think about that girl every day of my life. Didn't end up with her, but I still swear she was my first love.
Canadian Made?? damn right he is!! but his words are UNIVERSAL. they can go anywhere on this planet just to touch a heart......and it has certainly touched mine in a special way, and i'm not even that far away. someone else can feel it a million miles away at the same time and never even know they are even sharing it. it's amazing how a song can do so much and travel so far. hmmmmmm!
4 years ago tonight, I lost the love of my life when they passed away. I was so lucky to be blessed by such an honest and deep love. I always said God must have been thinking of me when HE created them. I was so fortunate. I miss them so much. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't mention their name or cry. I was loved.....
I could write a short story about this, out of this world best ever song. I can listen to it over and over. On those rough days having a song to turn on at 3am is my safety. Music speaks many languages. Stop and listen some time.
Amen to that!! I don't listen to many songs made after 1990. I am 50 with 4 children and I expose them to good music whenever possible. The only radio stations they ever hear are classic rock and classic country. It's a shame what the kids listen to today. Not all of it but the majority.
Soft rocks songs are the best, although I'm just 17 years old, I used to love these kind of songs since I was a child. Both my Mom and Dad loved soft rock songs , it feels so nostalgic. I miss you Dad.
Subjectively written and objectively expressed. The song has depth for the inner soul that is way beyond the mind and heart of man. Too humane and passionate the way it was sung by the Artist.
I remember the first time we touched, literally a spark between our fingertips. So many years ago, so much time has passed, and now nearly 40 years later, I still have those memories, and you still live on in my heart, then, now and always....
In a video to promote his 2010 album Intimate, Dan Hill told the story of this Adult Contemporary classic. Said Hill: "I grew up in a really suburban area, the model suburb of which all suburbs were based in Canada. And it was a beautiful place to grow up in terms of there were so many talented kids that I learned from, music, writing, books. But it was also very, very conservative. By that I mean I had no experience at all with girls. So suddenly I was like 18, 19, living on my own. And I was running into a whole different kind of girl that I didn't even know existed. I didn't know females could think the way some of these girls were thinking, and I'm talking the early '70s. And at the time the world was changing. Fear of Flying had just come out by the writer Erica Jong, you know, the great writer Germaine Greer had read written 'The Female Eunuch.' And women were kind of wearing their sexuality almost on their chest, as though it was a political statement, as though they were saying, This is my body and I can do what I want with it. They were almost like embracing the 'slut' word, in terms of turning it into a term of empowerment. I didn't really understand that at the time. All I knew was there was this woman that I was falling desperately in love with, and I just thought everybody was naturally monogamous. My parents have always stayed together. Well, this woman didn't want anything to do with monogamy. She wanted to get close to me, so to speak, but she wanted to be close with a lot of other guys at the same time, and I found this to be terribly distressful. She also liked to tell me about how all the other guys were so much more rich than I was, older, more established, she was going out with athletes, Argonauts (players from the Toronto football team), famous photographers. So I felt very inadequate. And I thought the only thing that I could do to make her take me seriously as more than just her occasional fling was to write a song that would absolutely galvanize her. I knew that all these guys might have more money, might be older, maybe more sophisticated. But they sure as hell couldn't write songs and sing like I could. So I set out to write the most powerful song ever written that was just going to absolutely flatten her, so that she would reconsider me, so that she would take me as her only lover. I was very proud of that song. I thought that I had really, really broken into new territory. I'll always remember, I was working for the civil service for $1.89 an hour. I was so proud of that lyric. And I taped it right over where I sorted all the mail. So I saw it on the wall, just looked at that lyric, because I was so proud of it. And then, of course, I got a little too proud of it and a little too cocky, went home from work, phoned up my erstwhile girlfriend, and played her the song, 'Sometimes When We Touch' in its earlier incarnation, expecting her to swoon. Well, there was this sort of martyr silence on the other end of the phone after she had heard that song, and a long, drawn out sigh. And she said, 'Did anyone ever tell you for a 19 year old you're way too goddamn intense. I'm leaving town with a CFL football player, he just got cut. We're moving to North Carolina.' Bam, she was gone. That was the first of many unintended consequences of 'Sometimes When We Touch.' You think you're going to do one thing with a song, it does something else. You know, I was a very intense guy. 'Sometimes When We Touch' was a very intense song."
Although it was written in the 1970s, it sums up exactly how I was overwhelmed by just the presence of my first girlfriend in 1968. Like Dan Hill I was just too immature for her. We saw each other again in the mid 1970s, and I still could not tell her what she did to me. She married in the late 70s, had two children and now lives in France. I married in the 1980s, my wife knew all about "Angela" and the song. To this day, my wife having died in June 2015, I have not forgotten Angela, how I felt and still feel about her - and the song. I phone her on birthdays and at Christmas, knowing she would really I didn't. I still have this dream of us back together. But she is married and it is I who is “trapped within my youth”. Barry Manilow’s “Even Now” hits the same spot. Still one day . . .
Dan you make me feel love when I listen to you...make me "believe" that love really exist...wish I can experience it... through your songs I actually do..until I stop the sings end...thanks Dan
Giorgi Nugroho its not just you. this is my favorite song of all time.. and I don't know how he can sing his own song without crying himself! and it oughta be sung at EVERY wedding.
Thanks Nr Dan Hill for the song that build people faith to live one onother, thanks Pastor for the Finishing finished and when God put a period no more question, cause it us fair na, meaning it is done by Dan Hill, The Voice, everywhere shows, America ,, Australia Philippibes and England, God save the Queen, God save America, now it is the Queen's Birthday and all state in Australia are celebrating in different from months and date. And celevrating The Thanks giving day. Thanks God for the blessing around the world for giving Jesus Christ to save the world in Jesus name , Glory to Father God in Jesus name, Amen
Takes me back 30 years ago when we went our separate ways. Then 30 years later we meet again and the touch and love we felt 30 years ago comes rushing back in. Not knowing if we will be as one again or just keep fighting our feeling we have inside.
This song inspires me and also brings back all the memories of my part and what I went through.....it's an amazing song🤞❤such powerful words and touching.
Or if true love comes before one is ready. SOMETIMES we just don't have the capacity of what is happening. It's more intense when it's meant to be because it's a healing love. Karmic relationships are lessons and that's not love.
A touch means to be wanted and a message to hold. It takes a touch, a word, a gift and a promise, as proof that a commitment could stand. Perseverance on the part of the man leads to results which is undetermined.
But how will u know whether ur destined to be together if u don't tell the person how u feel....what if they felt the same way but their fear of rejection made them not say anything either. I think u should tell someone how u feel or one day u'll find urself looking in the mirror 20/30 years later wondering: WHAT IF...
everytime I hear this song my emotions get the better of me it takes me back in time to a special person whom I had a crush on and still have up to this day
I know so well what you mean! And one one side, I'm sad because it's so frustrating if someone you truly love doesn't love you. One the other side, I'm happy for you, because each human deserves to experience true love. And we both habe experienced it and experience it right now. You are a good human being that's definetly worth living for. Don't you ever give up!♥♥♥
i recall my past . . boyfriend but Gooooshh he is playboy. . it is better to full inlove when always listening This song . . mach like. . Thank you to all staff of You Tube! Happy Sunday Everyone!

Every time I hear this it reminds me of a man I loved with all my heart. He could have written this. He just let me go and I still feel the hurt years later. I wonder why he couldn't even keep me as a friend. I miss him terribly. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I hope he at least remembers me a little.
u ever thought about contacting him?
I tried but I was ignored. I was thinking of trying again just to say a few things so I could get closure and move on. Doesn't matter if he ignores me anymore.
It’s amazing that this one emotion can bring so much Joy to your life but also unbelievably Pain.

@T B No way. True love is stronger then any internet bond. Obviously you have yet to discover/learn that.

He also states that he wants to hold his broken woman and cry together until they both DIE? Woman want strong men; not ones who want to break-down and cry forever, ffs. Note: this song is NOT about men who are emotionally-detatched. No woman wants such a man, but no woman wants a wimpy man who breaks-down and cries when facing lifes adversities and also wants to beat her and drive her to her knees. Wth?

I didn't even listen to the words it was the feeling in his voice that made me so very sad, but in the weirdest and sweetest way. This song shaped my love for music and made it what it is today and I still get that bittersweet heartache when I hear it!!!
Most amazing song. Thank you Dan Hill. Must have loved deeply. Love this masterpiece ❤️

Extraordinarily Powerful.
Way Up There with the Greats. The low end of The Greatest Love Songs Ever, but definitively in the Corral.
Just happen to have a stop at one of the bus terminals on my way home from school. Suddenly this song was played on the jukebox at the station and how I love this song. I played it again and again till I captured the lyrics and continue my journey till I reached home.
It. Makes me cry when I hear this it was late husbands favourite song, even when his brain cancer was getting worse he would smile when I played this
One of my "sing with a hairbrush in front of the miror" songs during my 'puppy-love' years thinking I had found true love at 12 years old. LMAO - sad thing is today at 53, I literally still think about that girl every day of my life. Didn't end up with her, but I still swear she was my first love.

Sitting here alone my room facing window . Listening this beautiful masterpiece. It's 11.44pm right now. I cry.
Canadian Made?? damn right he is!! but his words are UNIVERSAL. they can go anywhere on this planet just to touch a heart......and it has certainly touched mine in a special way, and i'm not even that far away. someone else can feel it a million miles away at the same time and never even know they are even sharing it. it's amazing how a song can do so much and travel so far. hmmmmmm!
great song!!!!!!
Susan Y. and you already know i think YOU have great taste, i've said that before.:)
Al Huggins Thank u so much! :D
my pleasure:)
Amazing song Al Huggins :'(
4 years ago tonight, I lost the love of my life when they passed away. I was so lucky to be blessed by such an honest and deep love. I always said God must have been thinking of me when HE created them. I was so fortunate. I miss them so much. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't mention their name or cry. I was loved.....
I could write a short story about this, out of this world best ever song. I can listen to it over and over. On those rough days having a song to turn on at 3am is my safety. Music speaks many languages. Stop and listen some time.
The best music,a time that will never come back and this generation will unfortunately will never experienced
This song brings back memories of a friend I had in school.Happy and sad
Amen to that!! I don't listen to many songs made after 1990. I am 50 with 4 children and I expose them to good music whenever possible. The only radio stations they ever hear are classic rock and classic country. It's a shame what the kids listen to today. Not all of it but the majority.
I was around my late teens when this song emerged...It has stayed ever since. 8.2020.Love it!!
Soft rocks songs are the best, although I'm just 17 years old, I used to love these kind of songs since I was a child. Both my Mom and Dad loved soft rock songs , it feels so nostalgic. I miss you Dad.
Subjectively written and objectively expressed. The song has depth for the inner soul that is way beyond the mind and heart of man. Too humane and passionate the way it was sung by the Artist.
I remember the first time we touched, literally a spark between our fingertips. So many years ago, so much time has passed, and now nearly 40 years later, I still have those memories, and you still live on in my heart, then, now and always....
same here.
Khakhakha cold cold 😂😂😂😂
So what happened?
Are you still single to this day? So sad.
LOVE THIS SONG.BRINGS BACK MANY MEMORIES OF WHEN I WAS A YOUNG SOLDIER IN ALDERSHOT. RIP DAN . THANKYOU FOR THIS SONG
What was your number? I bet you will never forget it - or the song.
What a great song. When both love each other they are the pillar for each other. Lough together and cry together. Lovely 😍💖👌👌👌
Loved this song.Brings back memories during my younger days.
In a video to promote his 2010 album Intimate, Dan Hill told the story of this Adult Contemporary classic. Said Hill: "I grew up in a really suburban area, the model suburb of which all suburbs were based in Canada. And it was a beautiful place to grow up in terms of there were so many talented kids that I learned from, music, writing, books. But it was also very, very conservative. By that I mean I had no experience at all with girls.
So suddenly I was like 18, 19, living on my own. And I was running into a whole different kind of girl that I didn't even know existed. I didn't know females could think the way some of these girls were thinking, and I'm talking the early '70s. And at the time the world was changing. Fear of Flying had just come out by the writer Erica Jong, you know, the great writer Germaine Greer had read written 'The Female Eunuch.' And women were kind of wearing their sexuality almost on their chest, as though it was a political statement, as though they were saying, This is my body and I can do what I want with it. They were almost like embracing the 'slut' word, in terms of turning it into a term of empowerment.
I didn't really understand that at the time. All I knew was there was this woman that I was falling desperately in love with, and I just thought everybody was naturally monogamous. My parents have always stayed together. Well, this woman didn't want anything to do with monogamy. She wanted to get close to me, so to speak, but she wanted to be close with a lot of other guys at the same time, and I found this to be terribly distressful. She also liked to tell me about how all the other guys were so much more rich than I was, older, more established, she was going out with athletes, Argonauts (players from the Toronto football team), famous photographers. So I felt very inadequate.
And I thought the only thing that I could do to make her take me seriously as more than just her occasional fling was to write a song that would absolutely galvanize her. I knew that all these guys might have more money, might be older, maybe more sophisticated. But they sure as hell couldn't write songs and sing like I could.
So I set out to write the most powerful song ever written that was just going to absolutely flatten her, so that she would reconsider me, so that she would take me as her only lover. I was very proud of that song. I thought that I had really, really broken into new territory. I'll always remember, I was working for the civil service for $1.89 an hour. I was so proud of that lyric. And I taped it right over where I sorted all the mail. So I saw it on the wall, just looked at that lyric, because I was so proud of it. And then, of course, I got a little too proud of it and a little too cocky, went home from work, phoned up my erstwhile girlfriend, and played her the song, 'Sometimes When We Touch' in its earlier incarnation, expecting her to swoon. Well, there was this sort of martyr silence on the other end of the phone after she had heard that song, and a long, drawn out sigh. And she said, 'Did anyone ever tell you for a 19 year old you're way too goddamn intense. I'm leaving town with a CFL football player, he just got cut. We're moving to North Carolina.' Bam, she was gone.
That was the first of many unintended consequences of 'Sometimes When We Touch.' You think you're going to do one thing with a song, it does something else. You know, I was a very intense guy. 'Sometimes When We Touch' was a very intense song."
Thank you for sharing this very interesting and heart warming piece!
That was great! Very touching. Thanks for sharing.
As though they were saying what
Although it was written in the 1970s, it sums up exactly how I was overwhelmed by just the presence of my first girlfriend in 1968. Like Dan Hill I was just too immature for her. We saw each other again in the mid 1970s, and I still could not tell her what she did to me. She married in the late 70s, had two children and now lives in France. I married in the 1980s, my wife knew all about "Angela" and the song.
To this day, my wife having died in June 2015, I have not forgotten Angela, how I felt and still feel about her - and the song. I phone her on birthdays and at Christmas, knowing she would really I didn't. I still have this dream of us back together.
But she is married and it is I who is “trapped within my youth”. Barry Manilow’s “Even Now” hits the same spot. Still one day . . .
Dan you make me feel love when I listen to you...make me "believe" that love really exist...wish I can experience it... through your songs I actually do..until I stop the sings end...thanks Dan
meant...until the songs end...thanks Dan
A SONG WITH TIMELESS MEMORIES, THANKS FOR SHARING 17 APRIL
Is it just me or does this song make me cry every time I hear it?
Giorgi Nugroho its not just you. this is my favorite song of all time.. and I don't know how he can sing his own song without crying himself! and it oughta be sung at EVERY wedding.
No it isn't just you. I've been married for 10 years and gone through some terrible times and some bliss. This is one of the truly honest love songs
Giorgi Nugroho It's not just you.... Gets me every time. It is just so beautiful.

Same for me, found it after a long hiatus.
This song makes me very sad. Hard to explain. Please come out and don’t hide any more . God is great.
Takes me back 30 years ago when we went our separate ways. Then 30 years later we meet again and the touch and love we felt 30 years ago comes rushing back in. Not knowing if we will be as one again or just keep fighting our feeling we have inside.
i AM still looking for my 50 year lost one.her name changed and not yet found out
A fabulous song that touches lots of people even now I have been there a long time ago This song is so powerful

I grew up hearing this song. Lyrically this is one of my favorites.
Who's not listening to this in 2020?
(Or to be more specific: Who is listening to this in 2020?)
Love this song it's a classic
The great song..
Never be forgoten forever...1000 thumbs up 4 danhill..
Sometimes love can make people go insane especially if it's not meant to be.
Or if true love comes before one is ready. SOMETIMES we just don't have the capacity of what is happening. It's more intense when it's meant to be because it's a healing love. Karmic relationships are lessons and that's not love.
Listening to this song makes me recall the good times I had with my ex girlfriend for four years. How I miss those times.
34in t.c
Ddcated to someone I love so much
I can't get enough of this song. It makes me feel myself in the words
One of my favorite artists!Every Sunday evening I used listen to this song in Jamaica 🇯🇲
A touch means to be wanted and a message to hold. It takes a touch, a word, a gift and a promise, as proof that a commitment could stand. Perseverance on the part of the man leads to results which is undetermined.
honesty and perseverance and trust. for me is the key of good relationship
sometimes you have to lie and hide your feelings for someone for some reasons especially if you're not destined to be together...
Indeed
But how will u know whether ur destined to be together if u don't tell the person how u feel....what if they felt the same way but their fear of rejection made them not say anything either. I think u should tell someone how u feel or one day u'll find urself looking in the mirror 20/30 years later wondering: WHAT IF...
Am so glad l was able to tell her Lord please make it happen for as
@@cegesl4521 did it happen
Your right
everytime I hear this song my emotions get the better of me it takes me back in time to a special person whom I had a crush on and still have up to this day
I know so well what you mean! And one one side, I'm sad because it's so frustrating if someone you truly love doesn't love you. One the other side, I'm happy for you, because each human deserves to experience true love. And we both habe experienced it and experience it right now. You are a good human being that's definetly worth living for. Don't you ever give up!♥♥♥
My ex-wife and I love this song very much. I never stop listening to this great song. Thank you Dan.

Sister reih gEminiAngel , I have been your follower for a few years now, and we both are on the same page, when it comes to this topic. I would love to hear you sing this with your voice and enthusiasm.
Classic. I will never get enough of this song❤
At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend, a brother or a sister. But then passion flares again ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Released in November 1977...got to #3 on the Billboard chart...and #4 on Cashbox...CLASSIC!!!
Every time this song came on the radio the diving team stopped practice to listen. Passion is what it was.
Masterpiece!!! ... One of my top favorite songs of all time!!!
Beautiful love song. Any woman would love someone to sing this to them, l think.
Not in my experience...
I hate this song. I would break up with anyone who sang this god awful song.
Mind you it would also depend on the person singing this song to them wouldn't it?
@@jalabala2772 why were you here then ?
I've never been in a relationship. Always been single, but I still felt the raw emotion of being in one when listening to this song.
2020 and i still love and listen to this beautiful song
It's such a beautiful song ,takes us back to when we were young,but still very much in love ❤❤
He wrote this song to his first love. He was 18 her 22. She believed in an open relationship, he didn't.One day she asked him if he loved her. This was his reply. They split up soon after.
This song is absolutely fantastic❤️
I feel sad if I remember my past love life,,,,better to stay alone... do everything to stay strong to my family and my two kids as a mother and father to my children....
this song reminds me,,,so sad
+Bless Us Guide Us Oh Lord
maybe it will be better if you could let go, .....
+bernard Asiedu I let go, ...yes.... and I did it.... but sometimes I can't avoid to remember and cried what the past hurt me more if I saw always my kids,,,,,it's hard to trust again..... thanks to u
