Steve Winwood - Valerie

Lyrics ♥
So wild, standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face here in her place
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying
Her cries hang there
In time somewhere
Someday, some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night I may hear
Her like she used to be
No, it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
I'm the same boy I used to be

Build the goddamned TIME MACHINE already. We're all dying to GO BACK and never resurface in this stupid century.

[@VallaMusic]

now that's goddamn right !!! LOL I'm with you !

[@abosworth]

Seriously.. 2020 has been the most messed up year. I miss the 80s and 90s.

[@beckettmaupin]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@alisonwarwick1943]

I'm coming back in time with you please

[@Traveler-VII]

Man, having that sort of power would be great. Finally being able to escape the shittiness of the late 2010s and the 2020s.

[@BigDave51]

Nothing better then driving in the summer time at night listening to 80's music like this one

[@brucewayne3602]

[@andyweinzirl1724]

I miss and love the 80's So full of emotion and power, god i miss the 80s !!!

[@sevanderson5970]

you're right, the 80's so full of emotion, strength and power, then the 90's came and we were vulnerable and lost but with just as much emotion, then that emotion died in the 2000's, that's why we're here I presume.

[@JamesSmith-vc7ie]

I named my daughter after this song.... 1988

[@98michellesanders]

I did as well

[@tgkk1174]

Nice!!

[@redbotgamer79]

One of THE very best songs of the 80's.

[@jimbarrofficial]

One of the most perfect arrangements in pop music.

[@jamesboisclair9559]

Valerie Carter - the great singer - top tier vocalist - listen to her songs, "Cook With Honey'', "The Story Of Love", "Da Doo Rendezvous", "Ooh Child", "Ringing Doorbells In The Rain" , "The Blue Side", "Tryin' To Get To You", "Wild Child", and many more. Rest peacefully, lady with an angel's voice. Your records brought me so much enjoyment.

[@philippediot88]

I herd this song the first time in 2020 in the pandemic lockdown s Although the lockdown s were very sad depressing and scary times for people At the same time good memories 2020 as my Papa was still alive and all my family was doing well My Papa dyed April 23 2021 and sadly Nana did pass February 23 2020 and I miss them both to the day as well as my whole family misses them But in 2020 lockdowns we still had Papa at least and the lockdowns were good memories for me personally and I really appreciated the chs closed because I’m kicked out of the faith so having ch closed made coping with being kicked out of the faith easier but everything else about lockdowns was very sad because it was a scary time I wish things could go back as they were in 2020 especially for someone in my family and i really today more than ever wish that the churches would close down again because I’m not welcome in the church and I can’t handle the multiple people who have to go to church it’s not fare and it offends me especially the people who are very devoted Dspt tht I bn clm I a upst a wrry d I upst cz da 4 a Jul wke ws rnd fa a fm mmb a mn a i wrry d i gnn b stck lk ds a dt i cld gt WRs fa hm I hp nt a I i z stck ds wy a i gnn gt WRs fa hm pls Gd hlp me gt da s plls agn tk um a pls hlp me dy asap cz i rth dy a brn n hll fa my wrngs a da sdnss a trds a odrs w w thn hv a fm mmb sff o scc n ane wy Hp i nt t hld hp i I hv t dy i cn dy a hp I ddnt dsnt lt thngs gt WRs fa hm

On this day Wednesday, 31 of January 2024, I dedicate Steve Winwood's "Valerie" to my own Valeria. We meet today Valeria, after months of talking, I will make the 2 hour drive to overcome the odds, our own busy lives, and a language barrier between my English and your Venezuelan Spanish....and I really do hope that from this moment, you Valeria , will always call on me!

[@DawnKemp-jd9xx]

Steve Winwood and I have the same birthday---May 12! Also, George Carlin! (R.I.P. George!).

Loved this song when i was a kid. I knew a Valerie. My friends sister. He pulled her shirt down one time when they were wrestling and i saw a nipple. I was attracted to her best friend though Leslie. So thats my Valerie story.

Just found out the story behind this and about the lady it's about❤

[@manuelmartineztello1995]

My hero, if someone can help me how can I find the Winwood´s 21h year career concert(1987)? It´s important to me, because it was a memorable concert.

Nope. This song was about Marianne Faithful- though Winwood himself has never confirmed who the real inspiration to this song was. It was about a dear friend he lost to drugs.
