    Chorus:
    And, oh, after the love has gone
    How could you lead me on
    And not let me stay around?
    Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?

    Let me lay some facts on you my fellow UA-cam Listeners: This song was written b y David Foster, Jay Graydon and Bill Chaplin. It was first offered to the duo group " Hall & Oates."At the time they were not interested in recording any music that wasn't written by them. When D. Foster presented to Maurice White, he gave the song a thumbs up. Verdine White, brother of Maurice White, stated that it was the most difficult song they had ever recorded. They felt the vibe had to be right in order to pull it off. He went on to say they recorded 6 to 7 times before M. White said that's it. Thats the one. It found its way to #2 on Billboards 100 list in 1979 for 2 weeks. It took home 2 Grammy's. Best R&B duo or a group and Best R&B song Grammy for composers D. Foster and J. Graydon. And now you know. Lol

    I am 21, and still jamming out to this song. This song reminds me of my mom, she...unfortunately succumbed to colon cancer back in 2013. Every time I hear this song, it would make me sad, because she was my mom, she might've not been a good mom to yall, but to me, she was a great mom. She told me to be happy, she told me that not to cry about her, she told me that she will be in my heart and watching over me. Those were her last words. I dropped down my DS (ended up breaking it) and was crying at her side. I never thought I would lose my mom, and when they disconnected my mom from life support, I went running and hugging my dad and crying. Fast forward to May 25th, 2019, I was graduating. Once this song came on as the Graduation Song, I looked at my family, and I went running to them and cried. I wanted everyone to be there, including my mom. My friends were there to comfort me also. I really miss my mom. Someday mom, I will reunite with you again! Until then, I will try my hardest. I love you mom!

My daughters lost their Mom Christmas of 2015. The oldest was a Sr and the youngest an 8th grader. I remind them both of how proud she would be of the beautiful women they are today! Carry on and thrive…Moms would want it that way! Praying God’s peace for your journey!

    My mom just passed away. Earth Wind and Fire was her favorite band. My Dad abused her for a long time and her parents before that and she became addicted to drugs and alcohol as a result. Didn’t really get to know the good parts of her. One of the few memories I have during the good days of her life is standing on her feet as a toddler dancing with her to this song. Grateful for Earth Wind and Fire.

I heard Ornithology and time stood still. Coltrane practiced 8 hours a day to get his sound and fluidity, Bird was as good after a day of drinking or guzzling on fried chicken.

    Dear Maurice White..
    I am here on your 80th birthday, not to say much,but to say thank you. I'd be lying if I say that my appreciation for quality music and everything which goes into it,and my appreciation for the real things of life(time,relationships, true love) hasn't been bolstered,after I found EW&F. I fell fully for EWF after I gave this song a try on midnight in September, and it's been no turning back from then. The soundtrack of my youth is rightfully tuning, and I'm happy about how I'm seeing my future,now,as a young guy in his 20's,all which has your influence. In all,I want to say,thank you,for giving us Earth, Wind and Fire.
    A Happy Posthumous Birthday to you,Maurice. Keep doing your thing,now for God,up there. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💯

    Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    For awhile, to love was all we could do
    We were young and we knew
    In our eyes, we're alive
    Deep inside, we knew our love was true
    For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
    We knew love would last
    Every night, something right
    Would invite us to begin the day
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Something happened along the way
    What used to be happy is sad
    Something happened along the way
    And yesterday was all we had
    [Chorus]
    And, oh, after the love has gone
    How could you lead me on
    And not let me stay around?
    Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    [Verse 2]
    For awhile, to love each other with all
    We would ever need
    Love was strong for so long
    Never knew that what was wrong
    Oh, baby, wasn't right
    We tried to find what we had
    Till sadness was all we shared
    We were scared
    This affair would lead our love in two
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Something happened along the way
    Yesterday was all we had
    Something happened along the way
    What used to be happy is sad
    Something happened along the way
    Oh, and yesterday was all we had
    [Chorus]
    And, oh, after the love has gone
    How could you lead me on
    And not let me stay around?
    Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    After the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    Oh, oh, oh
    After the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    Oh, oh, oh
    After the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    After the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?
    Oh, oh, oh
    After the love has gone
    What used to be right is wrong
    Can love that's lost be found?

I thought it Was them, I had to look at my album to see who it was. It is a mixed album called: Soul from the cities: vol.2, Chicago. I'm about to look him up for more - see if I like anything else he does. I never/heard of him. I Have heard of Babyface, but it may be someone else. Check it out on Utube, while your here. Enjoy!😃

      Sometimes you will find that the person you thought loved you was just a liar and a deceiver who is now just hurting you out of her own insecurity. The problem is that people these days feel like talking about their feelings makes them a pussy, but not being brave enough to tell it like it is actually is what makes you the pussy! If 2 people in a relationship can't learn to talk about things and work to make each other happy, then it's not a relationship is it?

    David Foster said that EW&F recorded this the very same night that he pitched it. He said it took 24 takes...,and, of course, they changed it...,threw in the modulation at the climaxxx.....,I mean this is just flat out incredible musicianship, production and above all...,one of the finest songs ever written. Ok, call it a popular song...,but it really isn't that...,it's more...,like an opera or symphony in 5 minutes...,sheesh...,and they did it one day...?

      Co-written by Foster, Jay Graydon and Chicago's Bill Champlin. Brilliant songwriting, indeed.

    My stepdad played this classic song when I was six. I knew it was great and loved the harmonies, but I didn’t know why. This hallmark song has served my own personal harmonies in my writing and influenced me highly to this day. I had the opportunity to meet the band at the NAMM show years ago and thank them personally for their contribution. Such a great honor!

    3 times I was in love as an adult. My son's father passed away at 43 about 4 years ago and another one I loved passed away at 52. I'm 46 now. Then, the third guy I'm just friends with. My dad passed away at 56, but glad I knew all these men. They all had/have a special place in my heart. By God's grace I make it. Jesus is now my best friend. Also have a 19 year old son whom I'm very proud of. Sometimes good to reminisce though. I'm 46 but older in a way then my years. You all have a good day and a blessed Christmas season.
