"Say You, Say Me" is a song written and recorded by Lionel Richie for the film White Nights, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. The single hit number 1 in the US and on the R&B singles chart in December 1985. It became Richie's ninth number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The track is not available on the soundtrack album to the film, because Motown did not want Richie's first single since the Can't Slow Down album to appear on another record label. It finally appeared on the Dancing on the Ceiling album released in 1986. A 50 sec clip was used in an episode of the TV show Valerie in 1987.
The track won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song as well. A music video was also made for the song.
In 2008, the song was ranked at #74 of the top songs of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, commemorating the first 50 years of the chart.
White Nights is a 1985 American drama film directed by Taylor Hackford and choreographed by Twyla Tharp and stars Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren and Isabella Rossellini. It was shot in Finland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and Austria.
The film is notable both for the dancing of Hines and Baryshnikov and for the Academy Award winning song "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie in 1986, as well as "Separate Lives" performed by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin and written by Stephen Bishop (also nominated).
Taylor Hackford met his future wife, Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren, during the filming of White Nights.
Lyrics:
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be.
Say you, say me
Say it together naturally !
I had a dream
I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing games in the dark.
And what they played was a masquerade
From behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out !
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be.
Say you, say me
Say it together naturally !
As we go down life's lonesome highway.
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two.
That helping hand, someone who understands
When you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say.
I'll show you !
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be.
Say you, say me
Say it together naturally !
So you think you know the answer oh, no
That's right I'm telling you.
It's time to start believin'
Oh, yes!
Believe in who you are
You are a shining star !
Say you, say me
Say it for always
Oh, that's the way it should be.
Say you, say me
Say it together naturally!
Say it together naturally!
