I'm 58 and lost my wife 2 years ago to a heart attack, she was 7 years older than me. I remember when I first saw her at work she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen but way out of my league. She always wore high heals and smelled wonderful, I would get so nervous and couldn't speak when she was near. This song had just come out on radio and it put my feelings into words so perfectly, I ran out and bought the cassette. About a week later I overheard her asking one of her girlfriends if they could give her a lift home after work due to some car trouble. Some how I worked up the courage to offer her a lift home.... she said yes!! Everything for the rest of the day was a blur but I do remember this song playing on the way home. Over the years we have laughed about that ride and that song but the feelings never fade, hearing this song makes me cry. I miss you Sandra and will always love you.

[@CharityOlivier-ej7si]

This is absolutely beautiful but I'm sure not as beautiful as she was. Thanks for sharing.

[@dernicegraim1720]

Music from the 80's and 90's were the best music. More meaning in the music.

Topic of the song is just fine, it’s the power of the message that makes it relevant and timeless.

Turning 40 next month. I find myself leaning into the songs of my childhood harder than ever these days. I know many here can relate. Just wish we could go back… 🫶🏼

This grown folk music. No room for kids with no soul. 1991 in da house.

[@katrinarosalez539]

Try 1971. I lived this music.

My point was that today's generation has no clue what music is. I'm a 90's baby, and I know real music. (1991)

broken up by the police and in America? Why police breaking up parties in America since everything is allowed out there? I thought this reputation is happening only in my country since we are muslims.
