For me there’s a big difference between the over-the-top cheesy pop of that period and the rich ballads like this, as well as a lot of the studio versions of the prime Disney decade, the ‘90s.
In the same category falls "Promise me" by Beverly Craven. A huge hit at a time though musically it was no longer into 80-ties. Arranged and usually performed in the style of "vocal nocturne" brings the emotional story of incoming separation starting with growing fear and anxiety but ending in acceptable consolation. Ability to write open message and enclose it with appropriate music has long been lost.
Time flies so fast. One day, you are watching this video as a kid. Then suddenly, you will realize that you are already an adult rewatching this masterpiece.
Never saw the video until a decade ago actually. Always relied on the stations only. Maybe VH1 did a Behind The Music or Pop-Up Video special I don't know lol.
On my way home from the supermarket yesterday evening, I heard this song playing in an apartment complex and thought to myself, "Wow, haven't heard that one in quite a while." So, sometime after getting home I searched UA-cam for it which brought me here. This is such a wonderful song; a true classic. In 2224 people may still listen to it in awe. Why not? We listen to classics by Bach etc. and thoroughly enjoy them.
Sometimes our taxes turn to us, Sometimes our work is what it's worth, Just when I caught a pant's ballast, You go and shave a monkey's ass This song really writes itself
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥
I miss when I was a kid and it was the 90's. My mom and dad really liked this song and now both of them are gone. I heard this song in the supermarket the other day and it all came flooding back to me. Great song.
I'm so sorry to read this. I become weepy listening to this song, and I'm not even sure why. Even when it was new (I wasn't quite a kid anymore, but my parents are long gone now, too), it made me sad. Weirdly enough, I sort of lump it in with sad Christmas songs, which is why I find myself here listening to it now! I hope someday you will be able to listen to this lovely song and it will bring you comfort and healing in all those memories, when they come back to you. Music has such a way of transporting us, doesn't it? :)
She was crowned Miss America and was stripped of her title when they found out she had stripped for playboy .. I feel .. it was racism and race based politics. She was truly gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤
I remember about 1993, that song. I also remember those days were like heaven earth. I realize now these are hell on earth in comparison. But there is hope. The beast last.
@@feliscatus6419 ok thanks, just edited, I am 47yrs old so I participated through the epic we had in 80s and early 90s, unfortunately I couldn't remember which songs we enjoyed which year.
OMG! Music is a true time machine for the soul. For a minute, I was transported back to this wonderful era. It was so much better than this cellphone dominated social media mass shooting era.
It came out the time when I thought I saved the best for last but that didn't happen until a few years ago!! We were blessed even if it was only for a short time love you always SK❤
First heard this song in 92' when I met my last girlfriend who is now my wife married in 94' still going strong in 2018 truly the best was saved for last for me
Agreed. SHe's underrated in terms of "the most beautiful women in America". Don't think she's made it onto any list (not that I follow that stuff intentionally). She had that "beauty pagent level beauty". She was Miss America iirc...till she decided to do her Penthouse nude layout with some other chick. Calculated move. Which I think worked. Got her a needed jump start into her movie/singing career...cost her the Miss America crown... Beautiful lips. Best shaped IMHO. Ideal. Some "beautiful women" might not have nice lips. I think that matters too.. Mixed race people are generally more attractive when they are. She is half black/white. I think she was (and still is) better looking than a Sophie Vagara...who was at one time said to be "the most beautiful woman..." according to some standard. :P ?? It's make up. Ever see her w/o? YIKES!! Vanessa Williams doesn't need it. Even today. There are photos of her with next to no makeup on. Still beautiful. As a singer...I'd say she's decent"...good voice here...but not at the same level as some of the "legends"....Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBell, Whitney Houston..Glennis Grace (Dutch)...
@@AGC828 Maybe not a great singer, but really good and she was part of the 80's/early 90's. Her voice is awesome though because her music brings back memories. Plus, she sang "Colors of the Wind" beautifully!
@@raegibson3066 Yeah I was listening to Celine Dions self titled album from 1992 the other day along with Colour of My Love from 1993. These also bring back good memories.
This takes me back to my high school days, when Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Vanessa Williams were cranking out the hits. I didn't have a care in the world back then. How the times have changed...
Yup I was a freshman 91 experiencing new sounds new music clothes and trends. It was like the world changed in every way from the end of 89 to 90 and this video made me fall in Love with R&B. God shes beautiful in this.
This song makes me feel nostalgic for the early 90’s. Beautiful song from a beautiful time in my life, back when the world seemed wonderful and filled with hope. I long for that time. Man, how time flies...

She was sooo beautiful. I mean still is. It’s funny seeing her in hallmark movies playing such bitchy characters lol. Wonder what it’s like to be this beautiful with an incredible voice 🤔

Clearly the most beautiful woman to ever live. This song came out in January of 1992. I was sad and young and lonely and hopeless. I heard this song while working at a bar/restaurant. It was late evening. There was light snow in a place that rarely ever has snow. And the woman who sings this song that night didn't, couldn't know it, but by her song, she gave me romance and the idea of love and happiness and hope. And now it's been a long time since then and maybe there was no real reason to hope for happiness after all. But that night I felt it and have never forgotten it. Thanks, V You'll always be my Miss America.
She would have looked even more beautiful, here, if they hadn't tried to thin her lips by painting inside the natural lip ine. Should only mess around with lip lines if someone's lips are very uneven and even then, only with extreme caution.
A lot of 90's melody (like this) was very much piano, beautiful voice and dreamy romance vibes. We grew up as kids believing this is what life was about. Guys, we lived some of the best musical times, ever produced. I shall cherish them.
As a typical compound African boy I never understood this song in 90's, but i felt peace, love and calmness each time this song played, now in my 40's understanding it absolutely still invokes peace, love and calmnes to my soul. I really LOVE it. Thanks to God for the gift of music !!!
Everyone has a unique quality from God and we can't have everything, But although this was my favorite song as a child I thought she was just very pretty
it's so trendy to say "insane" in place of the educated & proper words: great/tremendous/profound. We're living in the Plant of the Fools... Oh, and "Amazing" is pretty overused, isn't it. It's almost as if it's a Band-Aid for a lack of vocabulary.
@@dennisclark1767 Dear Sir Clark, Every normal human being sympathizes with the loss of a loved one. Your statement to your angel wife brought tears to my eyes because on my side, I have never heard or read my father (who is no longer of this world) make this kind of statement to my mom. Men who dare to declare their love are so precious to me. When I see fathers and husbands who make the necessary efforts to make their family or wife happy, it restores my faith in humanity. Thank you sir for warming my heart. Your wife from where she is (in paradise) must be proud of you! You deserve happiness even if it's hard not to share it with your loved one anymore!
@@rjpanwar are you f*cking kidding me? those were the the lyrics from the song that any average joe should understand the context. you are stupid! next time i'll draw a picture for you. lmao!
i lost my husband about 3 yrs ago but this was our song. absolutely. i always think of him every time i hear it. you just cant replace someone you have lost. RIP wayne....
My thoughts are with you Susan, may he be at absolute peace, I think of my mom and dad everytime I hear this but I feel certain they are both at the upmost peace, please take care of yourself, we certainly understand how you feel
It;s so sad that we'll no longer have megahits with this type of ballad these days. Oh, how music had evolved. Gone are the days of powerful love songs and love ballads.
I hate almost all the new music in America today. It's all garbage rap or junk curse words. I can't remember a song I've heard recently that sounds as good as the 90s
@@unskillfullymasterful Try some Lumineers or Home Free or Peter Hollins. Those are newer singers that are pretty good. I get what your saying majority of modern music is crap. But you can sometimes find newer stuff that is good. Vanessa Carlton her song "Thousand Miles" is early 2000s and is pretty great.
31 years have passed, it seems incredible, this song is so sublime it is a caress to the soul her voice is angelic and she has the most beautiful eyes in the world 💘
+Flenif2247 Yes, it happened just a few months after she was crowned Miss Teen USA. It broke my heart to learn that she was stripped of her title soon afterwards. Anyways she's always been one of my most fave singers.
My best friend from high school passed away on Wednesday and he would always play the piano at our church and sing this song to me, saying "If we ever got married, this would be our song." It will always be our song forever!

Explosion of talent during the 80/90s foundations in the 70s but what has happened because everything now is pretty crap apart from the odd one or two tunes :(
I still remember when I saw the music video in the '90's . I was mesmerized and fascinated by her beauty. She's awesome. And later I could understand the lyrics and the meaning and I could relate to it very deeply. This song is very very important for me , honestly I can not stop listening , singing this song. I just love it :-)

This is a masterpiece to me...simply beautiful!🤗
Donald m campbell jr Vanessa saved the best for last
The quality of soft rock adult contemporary music that was made in the 80s and 90s will remain unparalleled and irreplicable
For me there’s a big difference between the over-the-top cheesy pop of that period and the rich ballads like this, as well as a lot of the studio versions of the prime Disney decade, the ‘90s.
And then there’s Delilah that sets the soundtrack to my childhood ❤
if an ai can achieve that, i concede that it ACTUALLY has a purpose.
I agree
I'm from 2030 and still listening this song
Takes me back to the 90s. What an amazing era that was.
Yes it was !!
Early nineties. Just before mechanized music arrived.
Same, I wanna go back too.
This is one of the greatest love songs ever made. Vanessa Williams is truly a star in every sense of the word. A truly poetic and touching song!
In the same category falls "Promise me" by Beverly Craven. A huge hit at a time though musically it was no longer into 80-ties. Arranged and usually performed in the style of "vocal nocturne" brings the emotional story of incoming separation starting with growing fear and anxiety but ending in acceptable consolation.
Ability to write open message and enclose it with appropriate music has long been lost.
Brilliant song, timeless
@@JanKowalski-vj9py I forgot about this song!! Thanks
You can that again and again she is a hero
I don't think it's one of the best, it's _the_ best. What other songs rival this? Are there any? Maybe "Gloria Estefan - Can't Stay Away From You".
Time flies so fast. One day, you are watching this video as a kid. Then suddenly, you will realize that you are already an adult rewatching this masterpiece.
Never saw the video until a decade ago actually. Always relied on the stations only. Maybe VH1 did a Behind The Music or Pop-Up Video special I don't know lol.
A real best lovesong i love to listen again and again.....until the last beat of my eradrums
So true
Exacto
😢😢😭😭😭😭 now 42
Beauty, elegance, voice. Nothing like that today. Thank you Vanessa.

This song reminds me of when I was younger.
Check out Solitary Moon by Streisand. Thank me later.
Check "Love will lead you back" by Taylor Dayne. ;-)
One of the most underrated singers in the game.. Lets give this Queen some flowers💐💐💐💐💐
love that !! 🙌
Oh, she was never underrated. Maybe by women. LOL
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is one of my favorites. It is definitely not underrated by me. Watching this video clip in Jan 2024 brings back my fond memory.
my balls
0% nudity
0% violence
0% vulgarity
100% talent!!
MEMORIES, profound memories.
When you don't have talent you need nudity, violence and vulgarity to get people to listen. Unfortunately that's the case for 99% of music today.
@Zurround100 Valid point.
She’s wearing a turtleneck. We would never would see that today.
Cha Coo agree , guess talent lacking these days so all nudity etc is a distraction.
She's has a wonderful voice, she should been a Queen. Anyone listening this Song in November 2024. Its a masterpiece.
Whoever wrote the lyrics to Vanessa Williams is Genius and Romantic
Well actually a few other artistes were offered the song such as Barbara Streisand, whitney Houston and mariah carey but they turned it all down
I did.
From Wikipedia : (Songwriters) Phil Galdston / Wendy Waldman / Jon Lind
This was our prom song in 92. Now I'm going on 51 this year and it's still timeless. Just beautiful.
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. I wish this was our prom song, so romantic.

It's absolutely timeless.

Absolutely breathtaking beauty
Gorgeous and extremely talented. This hits harder as you get older. Still loving it and listening in 2023 and beyond.
First time hearing and I’m in tears. So sad that they don’t make songs like this anymore
Me too since I was 8 years old that year
The tears roll down my cheeks when she says "how could you give your love to someone else and share your dreams with me." Absolutely beautiful.
Me too this happened to me year ago 😥
Plizz help me understand this song
So true
💔💔💔
@@patrickelias6498 😢
So crazy this song just popped in my head absolutely still love her voice 2022 * (now 2023 ) ,🎶💓🎶💗🥂 who's still listening to it with me?
Yes.
Beautiful 🏂
@@irenarudnicki5485 ❄️💓🙂
How can we not be listening to something so perfect? Vanessa Williams voice is always going to sound in my ears.
@@tsekoivanov agree 💓🎵 it's so beautiful
She was sooo beautiful. I mean still is. It’s funny seeing her in hallmark movies playing such bitchy characters lol. Wonder what it’s like to be this beautiful with an incredible voice 🤔
Hands down, her. BEST song!!!!!!!!!!!
Dreamin' is her best song, this is her second best song.
Totally agree! 💯🎯
Eulnglidis curbani essa música Eu ofereço para um lindo homem hoje eu te vejo aqueles que desistem da luta é porque desiste da vida pois eu não desisto nem da minha luta nem da vida nem do homem a qual eu amo suga Augus t Yoogy o amor verdadeiro é aquele que atravessa fronteiras
Clearly the most beautiful woman to ever live. This song came out in January of 1992.
I was sad and young and lonely and hopeless. I heard this song while working at a bar/restaurant. It was late evening. There was light snow in a place that rarely ever has snow. And the woman who sings this song that night didn't, couldn't know it, but by her song, she gave me romance and the idea of love and happiness and hope.
And now it's been a long time since then and maybe there was no real reason to hope for happiness after all.
But that night I felt it and have never forgotten it.
Thanks, V
You'll always be my Miss America.
This song is timeless, it could be from any decade and still be as beautiful

Beautiful woman and beautiful voice.

Today we are not allowed to tell a woman she's beautiful. Sad!
This is such a beautiful song and even more beautiful watching her singing it. Awesome video.
Justin Cooper Heyy I've covered this on my channel I'd really appreciate you taking your time to listen 😊
I wish I could turn back time. 80s love songs were the best.
This came out in 1991
All these years later, this song still gives me butterflies! Perfect performance, perfect production! It’s timeless.
Hello Garland 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather over there ?
@@nelsonwayne6997 Hello Nelson! Inordinate amount of rain this past weekend but back to typical today. How about in your neck of the woods?
Production is Perfect which I why I’m such a ballad freak! Lol. Another good one is “The Voice Within”
Of course, we have to ignore the fact that the two things that start the damn song do NOT happen ever.
@@fuzzytalz the weather here's great and perfect
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Vanessa Williams has a gorgeous voice and she is a stunning beauty!
Success is sometimes the best revenge. She remains beautiful and gracious and conducts her life in role modeling quality.
She really is gorgeous, I've been binge watching Ugly Betty and even with all the wickedness she's strikingly beautiful!
@@kc476 YUP. AND DON'T FORGET, BUDDY. THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER FILM "E R A S E R" WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, MY FRIEND.
This song never gets old ..and she is beautiful no doubt.
You're right
Everytime...the tears
timeless, romance always is, special song and tone makes your heart sigh, all the best xrich and preeyax
She was a beauty queen tho
She would have looked even more beautiful, here, if they hadn't tried to thin her lips by painting inside the natural lip ine.
Should only mess around with lip lines if someone's lips are very uneven and even then, only with extreme caution.
A lot of 90's melody (like this) was very much piano, beautiful voice and dreamy romance vibes. We grew up as kids believing this is what life was about. Guys, we lived some of the best musical times, ever produced. I shall cherish them.
As a typical compound African boy I never understood this song in 90's, but i felt peace, love and calmness each time this song played, now in my 40's understanding it absolutely still invokes peace, love and calmnes to my soul. I really LOVE it. Thanks to God for the gift of music !!!
Absolutely...... I understood it then, I understand it now even better. Age definitely makes u wiser n appreciate things more.
you just grew up and evolved
you sound like a lovely human being, god bless you
And God gave us war.
You had your own lyrics
An absolutely amazing talent.
People were so focused on her beauty they neglected her immense gifts and insane abilities.
Basically she had everything. Wonderful beauty and a wonderful voice. A young mans dream really
*Disclaimer* - this doesn't mean she isn't incredibly beautiful. It means a masterpiece like this got lost in her beauty.
Everyone has a unique quality from God and we can't have everything, But although this was my favorite song as a child I thought she was just very pretty
it's so trendy to say "insane" in place of the educated & proper words: great/tremendous/profound.
We're living in the Plant of the Fools... Oh, and "Amazing" is pretty overused, isn't it. It's almost as if it's a Band-Aid for a lack of vocabulary.
Not me. I enjoyed all she gave us
I miss my deceased wife when I hear this song. 33 years ago did I have the time of my life. Retired now, rip Missy.
RIP Missy

Dear Sir Clark,
Every normal human being sympathizes with the loss of a loved one. Your statement to your angel wife brought tears to my eyes because on my side, I have never heard or read my father (who is no longer of this world) make this kind of statement to my mom. Men who dare to declare their love are so precious to me. When I see fathers and husbands who make the necessary efforts to make their family or wife happy, it restores my faith in humanity. Thank you sir for warming my heart. Your wife from where she is (in paradise) must be proud of you! You deserve happiness even if it's hard not to share it with your loved one anymore!
"sometimes the very thing you're looking for is the one thing you can't see". so true!
comment is deep but context is not shown.. i am not stupid to ask that throw some light. u should have done that while posting.
@@rjpanwar are you f*cking kidding me? those were the the lyrics from the song that any average joe should understand the context. you are stupid! next time i'll draw a picture for you. lmao!
Vanessa Williams, the actress, the singer and Miss America.
Absolutely 🎥👑🎤✨
She was very good looking..nice song!
@@joeschsuster4804 Still is
Truly stunning Woman.
Really good song from 93 think of me at 17 waiting to go to join navy
i lost my husband about 3 yrs ago but this was our song. absolutely. i always think of him every time i hear it. you just cant replace someone you have lost. RIP wayne....
Susan Cange be strong.
Sorry for your loss God bless. 💝
Susan Cange Its life my sister,, God will always confort you
God Bless You Susan
My thoughts are with you Susan, may he be at absolute peace, I think of my mom and dad everytime I hear this but I feel certain they are both at the upmost peace, please take care of yourself, we certainly understand how you feel
this woman is stunning
Congratulations if you are here it's because you have a very high musical level and good taste ;)
Привет
😁
Neat
Nice 😎
David Leonard it’s a beautiful song.
It;s so sad that we'll no longer have megahits with this type of ballad these days. Oh, how music had evolved. Gone are the days of powerful love songs and love ballads.
I totally agree how music and relationships have changed...sad
Hard out agree ❤
I hate almost all the new music in America today. It's all garbage rap or junk curse words. I can't remember a song I've heard recently that sounds as good as the 90s
@@unskillfullymasterful Try some Lumineers or Home Free or Peter Hollins. Those are newer singers that are pretty good. I get what your saying majority of modern music is crap. But you can sometimes find newer stuff that is good. Vanessa Carlton her song "Thousand Miles" is early 2000s and is pretty great.
@@morrigankasa570 oh I don't mind that one, but to be honest I didn't care for it til I heard one ok rock covering it lol
She’s beautiful in every way.
This song never gets old! Thank you Vanessa Williams!
31 years have passed, it seems incredible, this song is so sublime it is a caress to the soul her voice is angelic and she has the most beautiful eyes in the world 💘
YEAH. 🙂 SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. 🥲 I WILL ALWAYS LOVE VANESSA L. WILLIAMS SO VERY MUCH.
Thousands of young men fell in love with Vanessa Williams after seeing her perform for this beautiful song. I was one of them
@@davidwilliamgay4821 YEAH, I KNOW. BUT I LOST MY FATHER. 🥲😢😭 HE'S GONE.

I’m literally watching friends and pretending it’s still the mid 90’s lol
Anyone listening to this beautiful song in 2024?
I did...
First time I would see the music video...
Since I first heard it around 2000
🎉🎉
Absolutely
@@awesomesauce5974 I'm crying for the other characters

She has such a beautiful voice , and she looks absolutely beautiful singing this. 💜✨️
I KNOW, RIGHT? SHE'S THE WOMAN FROM THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER FILM "ERASER" WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, BY THE WAY. I'M HAPPY. 🙂🥰
So underrated as a singer…love her ❤
Duh. She WAS a miss America winner 😂 of course she looks beautiful here. That was her appeal: to be that damn fine and also know how to carry a tune
That's EXACTLY what I thought watching this!Incredibly good song sung perfectly so beautiful.You just don't hear good songs like this anymore!
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You.
I give props to the keyboard player...the keyboard player put emotion into this song because you can feel it.
This woman can sing and act. Very beautiful and talented in total class!! :)
l love u and you and your music
+Flenif2247 Yes, it happened just a few months after she was crowned Miss Teen USA. It broke my heart to learn that she was stripped of her title soon afterwards. Anyways she's always been one of my most fave singers.
I don't know why, but when I hear this music I feel like everything will be ok, and it reminds me of better times
Yes! Simpler times, calmer times, when people actually listened to one another and took their time to fellowship with each other.
Same here
I agree
Pray for the virus victims and pray for the world ❤❤❤
Chris McTeggart I agree
Beautiful woman. Even better song. When she closes her eyes in the video you know she’ll pulling on that emotion. Beautiful stuff.
My best friend from high school passed away on Wednesday and he would always play the piano at our church and sing this song to me, saying "If we ever got married, this would be our song." It will always be our song forever!
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have this nice memory. 🙏❤️
I don't know you, or him, but I am truly sorry for your loss, on the real....

Timeless classic. Flawless.
Only one word about this song it's so beautiful song..never boring listening it..2024 and years to come I will definitely enjoy this song❤❤❤❤
I'm 18 and I like 90's music. They are simply the best. I don't care what anyone says.
I'm 41 and I'll confirm that 90s is 2nd best. 80s is #1. I'll almost agree, I'm sure 70s and 60s have an argument.
The 2000s is decent but I feel bad for 2000s and 2010s kids. They missed alot
Too bad you missed out during those times but yes 80s and 90s were the best music era!!! Not like today's trash...
You have a good taste. Congratulations.
Explosion of talent during the 80/90s foundations in the 70s but what has happened because everything now is pretty crap apart from the odd one or two tunes :(
These are the good old days, when music was pure, fresh, and Classic! Vanessa Williams always looked good in her videos, and she's a stunner now!
YEAH. ☺🙂😁 SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, AND SHE'S THE WOMAN FROM THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER FILM "ERASER" WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, BY THE WAY.
Beautiful face
Beautiful voice
Beautiful song
How are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winston and how is the weather over there
@@WinstonMoore-ki4cr what the heck
And beautiful body
90’s were just the best. We had it so good.
These poor kids today are being robbed.
This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. This brings me to my childhood, when times were easier. 😪
I was born a year after this was first heard on the radio.
I still remember when I saw the music video in the '90's . I was mesmerized and fascinated by her beauty. She's awesome. And later I could understand the lyrics and the meaning and I could relate to it very deeply. This song is very very important for me , honestly I can not stop listening , singing this song. I just love it :-)
Taylor Muse wow well said my brother
Lol. Times weren't easier. You were just a child.
osimeon00 damn you beat me to it 😂😂😂
