still here. This came out during my third year of university. Dating the first woman I ever really loved. More than 50 years later it's a beautiful song. A one hit wonder for David Foster's band, but an great contribution to the music of the day.

This song always reminds me of my. Mother. Since I was 17, now I'm 61. One Christmas I had it copied into a CD and gave it to hr. Later that night when she heard it, she called and said thank you and said that that was probably the most beautiful heart felt gift ever, and now she knows that I know her. She just died last Friday and I'm hoping to play it at her service

Wow what a beautiful song. I remember listening to this classic on the radio as a kid in the 70’s. I think about 2 other artists recorded this song in the 70’s, but this, which is original is by far the best. Everything about this live performance was right on the mark. Wonderful lead vocal, perfect harmonies with the background vocals and the musicians were superb. So glad to be able to come here to YT and listen to all the great music from the 60’s-80’s era. No music today come even close to that era of music.

Hi.. I was there and can tell you exactly how Wildflower came to be. Dave was madly in love with his beautiful wife, and she was a nurse, when she would come home from a day or sickness and sadness, she would cry and tell him how hard it was and how helpless she felt at times. He wrote this poem for her, to lift her spirits and to let her know how much he appreciated her tireless dedication.. Dave brought the lyrics over to us at a band rehearsal.. and left them on the piano, when we took a break, I picked them up, read them and started bawling, I thought he had written them for, me! Which is why it's a killer song, everyone can relate, everyone takes it personally.. but the person who was really inspired was Doug Edwards, who wrote that incredible melody.. However, the Triple D Trio.. Donny, Doug, and Dave is why that song is timeless, not to mention the brilliant arrangement by David Foster.. Skylark, a one hit wonder, but what a band and what a song!

The other wonderful thing about Skylark was that we sounded as good live, and on that record. No gimmicks just a good sound system and some really good players, making really good music! Unlike the Grammicks!

BJ Cook, it is certainly wonderful to see you still alive and kicking here with your comments. I read you were pregnant at this moment here, so everyone please stop "picking" on her dress (ha!) Speaking of clothes how about Carl Graves' outfit! BJ your backing vocals were splendid AND you are correct, one hit but still a beauty & timeless, thanks for the memories!

O.K. flowers for the song versus plaid. Those sleeves are what killed it for me. Looks like B.J. should be the dealer in Kenny Rogers the Gambler. Kind of 1880's saloon dealer look. Still love the vocals and emotion of the song. This is one you know from the start, who sings it as well as where you first heard it. Always puts back in a certain place in time.

I AGREE. THEY PRETEND AS IF IT WAS MADE BY NEW BIRTH, THE SINGER OF NEW BITH DISSED SKYLARK AS NON SINGERS AS IF THEY MADE THE SONG. NEW BIRTH WASNT THAT GREAT AND DIDNT DO THIS SONG ANY JUSTICE. IMO

This is the first song that popped on the radio after my mom died at the age of 59. I cried almost constantly, but this song comforted me right away. It's like I can feel and touch my mom when I'm listening to Wildflower.

We considered having this song played at the ending of my mom's funeral service. We changed our mind at the last minute. It was a collective decision. Now I regret it. I sing this song at Karaoke and in my mind, it's devoted to her.

I just want to say that this is my favorite song. I am 38 and this song have been special to me since I first heard it and I was very young at the time. It is not only timeless to me but in a way I felt it was the words I felt in my heart as a little girl. Skylark, thank you so much for creating something so beautiful. You all are beautiful creators.

This love song is one of those few timeless classics that speaks to our hearts on a much deeper level. We don't hear too often about a relationship in song that shows empathy to a soul who is really hurting and wanting to soothe their suffering. G&R's 'Sweet Child O' Mine' or Hootie's 'Let Her Cry' render these tender feelings about a lover whose life has seen suffering, addiction etc and you're incapable of helping. We should all learn to feel such self sacrificing love for someone. Thank you Skylark.
