A Favorite By Billy Vera And The Beaters

[Neutron]

What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more

What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you?
Or say things to hurt you?
Cause you just don't love me no more

Did you think I could hate you?
Or raise my hands to you?
Now come on, you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When darling, I love you
And you know... I'd never hurt you

What do you think, I would give at this moment?
If you'd stay I'd subtract twenty-years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again

I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on, baby
If I could just hold you...again

Neutron, I know we dont often agree about things, but I must say that this was a great song. The Family Ties episode that it was played in where Michael J Fox and Tracy Pollan's characters meet and fall in love, and the song is played at a dance and throughout the two part episode, is one of my all time favorite TV episodes. As we know, it turned out great for them in real life too as they married and have stayed so for almost 17 years. Fantastic song, one of my all time favorites.

Oh god I absolutely ADORE this song! It is so touching, so moving, so full of emotion that your heart just breaks listening to it. Not to mention what an incredible voice he has. This song ranks in my top ten of all time. Incredible.

My favorite

Perhaps I'm showing my age here, but for me it's Bob Seger....

Against The Wind

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then

Against the wind
We were runnin’ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin’
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin’
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I’ve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still running
Against the wind

Thanks..

Actually the first time I ever heard that song was on that family ties episode and I loved it instantly (although I thought Tony Bennett sang it at first!)

qjakal, I LOVE Against The Wind but my favorite SEger Songs are Turn The Page, We've Got Tonight (which is NOT a love song by the way),

and Roll Me Away, one of my favorite songs ever.

Seger...

One of my fav artists..

Funny, would have thought Night Moves might make your list..lol.

I agree wholeheartedly with Roll Me Away, btw.

I'm a sucker for sappy love songs and "At This Moment" is one of my favorites from the 1980s. Click on this link, scroll down and click #8 to hear a small sample of the song:

tronnie,

I love that song!! And thanks to you, I finally know who sings it.

What other songs/singers do you like?

I love that family ties episode also.

I Like Night Moves

Main Street, Sunspot Baby,

I'm pretty much a Segerholic!! Always have been

But Roll Me Away really hits me because it reminds me of some certain events in my life.

Personally, I like "Night Moves", "Still The Same" and "Against The Wind." Both of his greatest hits CD's are here, you just have to click "Greatest Hits 2" to see that one. (It may take a few clicks to see it... takes a while to download):

I love Chances Are, Segar's duet with Martina McBride. I love Bob Segar's voice.
