Great to see Tom .. still cool as ever... wrote some great tunes ... brings back happy memories ❤

[@markcouch7049]

Now that's a musician, that is how it's done folks. What can you say that hasn't already been said, Tom Bailey sounds as good today, as he did in the 80s. I remember slow dancing to this song at my prom with my Gf in 1988. That was 34years ago. She is now my loving wife, and we still dance to this song in the livingroom. Baby I love you so much, you are my heart, my soul, my love light, when I look at you baby in my eyes I still see that 17 yr old girl that I slow danced to this song with. Yes we're 52 now love but my love for you has not diminished one little bit, I still feel that fire burning just like it did way back then. My love for you is eternal and I'm so honored to call you my wife. Tom you are phoenominal thank you for this timeless song God bless you my brother♥️🌹🌹🌹
