My wife and I got married on a spur of the moment, it was planned to get married about a month later but we decided right there in the courthouse when we got our marriage license to do it then, have a courthouse wedding. She was dressed up, I was wearing 501's and a Styx concert T-Shirt. We were married for 34 years, she passed away on October 6th. Misty, babe I love you.
Nope. They screwed themselves out of the HOF with Mr. Roboto, the worst song of the entire decade of the 80's, and an even WORSE video. The Babe, Too Much Time On My Hands, and Renegade Styx....yes. But completely destroyed it with Kilroy. NO WAY!
Styx was one of my fathers favorite bands; this was his favorite song. My parents divorced when I was little; he never remarried. Up until the day of his death January 2021 he said he would always love my mom and remember the good times. I just turned 48 on the 12th of July and I still remember being 6 years old sitting at a booth with a jukebox at Dairy Queen, asking my dad for change so we could listen to music as we ate. It never failed that he always asked for this song to be played and every time he would tell me that it would remind him of my mom and everything that she meant to him and everything he couldn't be for her. Every time, it never failed, he would say he regretted not knowing a good thing when he had it right under his nose the whole time and vowed every time, I would be an only child and that his love for my mom would go on until the day he died. Those words rang true until his passing. He wasn't father of the year, but he was my dad and I will forever love him and I'm very fortunate, blessed, to be able to speak heart to heart with him before he passed. Not many get that chance. Love you Nico. I loved you more than I ever thought I did and I miss you like crazy.
iM 48 AND this was myt 1st and only loves song. i never remarried and dont plan on. She may have hurt me very bad ill always love her. She is all my best memories and she was the reason for my happiness. Since shes left my life has been ruins and wish for death each day.
My condolences. You are never prepared for tragedy. My mom is at her end of life and my brother's and sisters are already mourning her loss. My dad died of melanoma cancer 25 years ago on March 5th. Non of us were prepared bc he hid his symptoms until 5 weeks before his death. I wS so wrecked I couldn't even grieve properly until 10 years later.
Actually, Dennis wrote this song as a birthday present for his wife Suzanne and never intended to release it as a single. A&M President Bob Garcia backs up Dennis' story that when Tommy and JY heard it that THEY BOTH INSISTED that it be included on Cornerstone and be released as the first single on the album. This is all part of Tommy's and JY's FALSE NARRATIVE on how Dennis' songs caused a rift among the band. And another FACT, Tommy actually wrote the only 3 songs in the Styx catalog-Sing for the Day, Boat on a River, and Just Get Through this Night- that does NOT feature one single power chord. But again, it is all part of the FALSE NARRATIVE that Dennis only wrote ballads. Tommy and JY keep demeaning Dennis' hits while still happily cashing their royalty checks. Talk about the epitome of hypocrisy.
I would be willing to argue that mr roboto was the biggest with this a close second, but for me I believe this to be the superior song due to content and quality.
Babe I'm leaving I must be on my way The time is drawing near My train is going I see it in your eyes The love, the need, your tears But I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through So please believe me My heart is in your hands And I'll be missing you 'Cause you know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you You know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you Babe, I'm leaving I'll say it once again And somehow try to smile I know the feeling we're trying to forget If only for a while 'Cause I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through Please believe me My heart is in your hands 'Cause I'll be missing you Babe, I love you Babe, I love you Oh, babe
My late husband always called me "Babe", and used to sing this song to me often (he was a musician... and would sing this when he was away). When he died, the song came on the radio that evening, and the words meant even more to me than before because that day he left on his final journey without me.💔
@@60mark61 Thanks for that info. That’s shocking. & we get such “Mumbling” (incoherent) songs from Billie Eilish hitting #one & winning the Academy Awards. That’s ridiculous.
I'm gonna play this song to my 17yr old daughter this weekend to let her know hom much I love her through music. I'm gen x and me her mom spit up when she was just 3 . Because of my daughter and the Lord I got clean from hard drug addiction. At that time I had been on a 10yr meth bender and her mother took her from me. Because of my love for my daughter I haven't touched that stuff in 14yrs. I did regain co-custudy of my daughter after I got sober for her. My love for the Lord and my daughter is strong.
Beautiful song and musical masterpiece, my boyfriend who passed away from liver cancer 6yrs ago used to sing this to me. Whenever I hear this song I still cry. Styx, ty for your beautiful song 🎵 ❤️ 💕.
Times were changing n tough no doubt n w that n much more I will ALWAYS believe that growing into adulthood. Having this great music from all over our world was so comforting in troubled times. Thanks
I just saw the STORY ON TIKTOK of how he wrote this song for his wife. It's so beautiful. He wrote it for her birthday and didn't think anything of it as anything but a personal love song no one else would care about... and it ended up this hugh hit for him. It was written from the heart.

My Dad passed away back in February of 2024 I wasn't able to say goodbye. I remember him dancing and singing to this song all the time in the living room when I was growing up. As a kid I didn't get it. Now in my 30's it makes me cry tears in hopes that he's performing this song live entertaining people in his own personal heaven something he always wanted to do and something he gave up to raise me and my two siblings. I wish I could go back and tell him how much he meant to me and that me and him are not that much different.
2024 .I'll never forget this song. I was just 19 when I had an accident was in hospital for 2 years. My first love use to travel to me everyday with the train. .And this was the song we use to sing together before he would leave the..
I'm 23 and I'll never let this kind of music disappear! I'll make sure my kids and grand kids know all about this 80s love. Thank you styx for changing my life and my parents life and grandparents life.
Thank you for saying that. As all old people say life was much simpler back then! And you know what it's true with so much easier growing up when I did 70s and 80s. Nobody had smartphones and what we did on Saturday night didn't end up on UA-cam or Facebook on Sunday. Good luck to you and thank you for recognizing classic rock and the timelessness of it.
I was a 20 year old in the U.S. Navy the 1st time I heard this song. Our ship was off the coast of San Diego, it was night time when I was on the sponsor deck listening to some music on the radio. Babe came on and it was what I needed that night to make it perfect. Many years later as a retired Sailor and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Styx rocked then & I still rock to this song decades later. Thank you Styx for all of your great music. Rock on forever! I salute you!👍🎵📻⚓
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives.

True. That's what a democratic form of government does. It steadily weeds out and destroys talent. The majority (lacking talent and other gifts) simply hate seeing or hearing of anyone who's "better." What follows is a "gang up," that destroys these gifted people. For example, lots and lots of highly talented musicians and rock stars commit suicide. That's because the majority won't let them work, play their music, and won't let them have relationships either. The United States is doomed. It's steadily going down hill, because it has a dysfunctional system.
Carissa Dalton awe sweets it breaks my heart to hear that. You will meet again. Life here on Earth is just a raindrop in time against eternity. Take care
No matter how many times they try to remake a classic they can't do it. I feel sorry for kids who were never exposed to the music of this era and even into the 80's. I played all kinds of music (except RAP) to my girls and they have such an appreciation for it.
Such a beautiful time in my life. I'm sad there are no more bands like this one and never will be. This is the very first concert I went to; at the Warehouse in New Orleans.
@Vivian Farmer I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
Babe I'm leaving I must be on my way The time is drawing near My train is going I see it in your eyes The love, the need, your tears But I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through So please believe me My heart is in your hands And I'll be missing you 'Cause you know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you You know it's you babe Whenever I get weary And I've had enough Feel like giving up You know it's you babe Giving me the courage And the strength I need Please believe that it's true Babe, I love you Babe, I'm leaving I'll say it once again And somehow try to smile I know the feeling we're trying to forget If only for a while 'Cause I'll be lonely without you And I'll need your love to see me through Please believe me My heart is in your hands 'Cause I'll be missing you Babe, I love you Babe, I love you Oh, babe
Grew up with this music- nothing today that can compare to the vocals, the pure musicianship and artistry. The 80's were sacred and music like this were the soundtrack of my life.
I just saw Dennis play Best Of Times..podcast from his home in Chicago..Granted...hes a little old man these days. BUT his voice ...and tone are still solid...Actually more wholsome sounding than back in the golden years. Just search Dennis Deyounge. Right here on youtube!
Styx is one of my all time favorite bands. Everything Dennis Deyoung sang was gold. This is really one special band. Thank you for all of your music. Amazing.
I was in Chicago Midway Airport a few years ago, waiting for my flight home. Suddenly I heard some guy singing opera at the top of his lungs! I looked up as the man with grey hair and a mustache passed on the automatic sidewalk, arms flailing like he was conducting a symphony, a slim woman beside him, in awe of her wildman... It was Dennis DeYoung and his wife, still married to his "babe" after all these years. ;)
Quarantine was rough, but an end is in sight. Finally going to be able to get out and we're going to see Styx and Reo Speedwagon in concert in July. Babe means so much to me. 5 years ago my husband's hard partying ways were finally catching up with him and almost brought it to an end. He decided to go for treatment. The night before he left, I cried when he played this song for me. 5 years later, he has been completely clean and loving life. It's only after the dark that you can see the stars...when we finally see ourselves out of this, we're going to be listening to Babe live on his 6 year anniversary....can't WAIT! thanks for the great music to see us through!
Please know that the current Styx lineup will not play this song at your concert. If you want to hear "Babe", you have to go to a Dennis DeYoung concert.
😭😭😭 beautiful! Styx and Speedwagon concert would be MY DREAMM! It's so sad that these legends who make the best music there is don't have concerts here in India. All we get is Justin Bieber lip syncing on stage and leaving. Please! Just keep that autotune with yourself, ugh. Also, it's so beautiful that you have someone to share this music with and who shares it with you!💜💜
Sounds very much like the studio version. Also: who plays the synth (high strings) while Dennis plays the Rhodes piano? They probably mimed during the rehearsal before the show and edited in some live footage from later that night. This is done many times. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if I run the studio version at the same time, it will be a 1:1 match. Just to make it clear: I love Dennis deYoung and Styx. If they mimed/ lip synced, it was for technical reasons.
This brings back memories for sure. I always remember hearing this song travelling down Malibu canyon in the back seat of the car on my way to Zuma beach as a kid in the early 1980's. The early 1980's were a magical time as they were well past the turmoil of the 1960's and 1970's, MTV just came out, music was at its best but still well before social media, internet, cell phones, and all the problems that have resulted from them. It was like this special little gap in time between the turmoil of the past and present where you just wanted to go to the beach and go to rock concerts. Rock concerts in the 1980's were awesome, no one taking selfies just everyone having the best times of their lives. They truly were the best of times.
One of the BEST bands ever... I love love love Styx... I remember getting their album when I was in 8th grade for Christmas and I was so happy. Saw them in concert a few times too. So good live!
Minha mãe gostava desta música na sua adolescência... E me ensinou a gostar desta linda melodia!!! Muita linda está música, tempo de música boa que não voltam mais!!
One of the iconic Styx songs, this song speaks volumes and is so timeless. Pure magic, it brings back very fond memories of high school in the 80s being with my gf who is now my loving wife of 30 yes. Love you baby and always will😘❤️🌹

Oh wow, I was in the 9th grade when this came out. I spontaneously broke into singing this this morning and my dog was not amused 😒 😁 Anyway, we’re now in my childhood home waiting for the sale/closing next week and this song harkens back to a time when mom & dad were here and love, laughter and song were plentiful! Love y’all forever❤️ Thank you STYX for a timeless song✨
Still love this song - my sister was ten years older than me so I was introduced to this as a very young kid but have always loved it - I’ll be missing this kind of music- Babe I love you!
Tem coisas que nunca deveriam envelhecer e nem acabar . Styx é uma delas ! ............................... There's things that never should grow old and neither end . Styx is one those !
Linda canção, era criança e amava uma coleguinha da minha sala escolar, quando ouvia essa canção imaginava eu cantando para ela quantas lembranças maravilhas...
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
Good idea it’s like an alarm clock. But you got 30 likes in 3 weeks. :)
This song is bittersweet...fills my heart and breaks it at the same time. Have tears in my eyes..

I was a 20 year old in the U.S. Navy the 1st time I heard this song. Our ship was off the coast of San Diego, it was night time when I was on the sponsor deck listening to some music on the radio. Babe came on and it was what I needed that night to make it perfect. Many years later as a retired Sailor and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. Styx rocked then & I still rock to this song decades later. Thank you Styx for all of your great music. Rock on forever! I salute you!👍🎵📻⚓
Did you enjoy serving the military industrial complex??
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
Thank you. Missing my husband after 50 yrs together
Thank you. The Lord is almighty. In Jesus name, Amen
AMIN !

Thank you for the blessing ❤
The bands now couldnt shine these guys shoes.
I’m with you on that. I love The Bee Gees. How’s there ever going to be another group like them?
Gangster rap garbage.
The politicians now couldn't shine the old ones shoes.
The women now couldn't shine the old ones shoes.
True. That's what a democratic form of government does. It steadily weeds out and destroys talent. The majority (lacking talent and other gifts) simply hate seeing or hearing of anyone who's "better." What follows is a "gang up," that destroys these gifted people. For example, lots and lots of highly talented musicians and rock stars commit suicide. That's because the majority won't let them work, play their music, and won't let them have relationships either. The United States is doomed. It's steadily going down hill, because it has a dysfunctional system.
This was one of my Mum’s funeral songs....Everytime it comes on it makes me cry 😭 I miss you so much Mum 💕
Carissa Dalton awe sweets it breaks my heart to hear that. You will meet again. Life here on Earth is just a raindrop in time against eternity. Take care
It is going to be one of mine too. Hugs to you.
Sending you a hug
Your post brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful tribute to your mom.
Well...and you are "lonely without her"...but you've had her "love to see you through." I bet she was an amazing Mom.
A guy sang this to me while standing out his t top in his car. At a Sonic drive in. I actually still remember 😊
You’re a lucky woman that means he loves you
They don't make classics like this anymore. Yep, real music. Written, produced and performed by true artists.
he was so beautiful with his mario bros mustache
Dude they don't made because the listener are not classic anymore 😒
Its true 👍👍
No vocoders, octavers and other junk…. Just pure real music
No matter how many times they try to remake a classic they can't do it. I feel sorry for kids who were never exposed to the music of this era and even into the 80's. I played all kinds of music (except RAP) to my girls and they have such an appreciation for it.
Such a beautiful time in my life. I'm sad there are no more bands like this one and never will be. This is the very first concert I went to; at the Warehouse in New Orleans.
Theres but its impersonators
Cover bands
@Vivian Farmer I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
@@jameshandy-qq3gu memories are beautiful and sometimes bittersweet. So sorry about your wife.
@@vivianfarmer965 Thank you so much for the kind words. It’s really hard to loose a partner
Listening to this song Wow alot of memories of my first love, that never fade away
Babe I'm leaving
I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going
I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So please believe me
My heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you
'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary
And I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage
And the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you
You know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary
And I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage
And the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you
Babe, I'm leaving
I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget
If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me
My heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Oh, babe
@Vegan Higler I wish
@Vegan Higler so sweet… sounds incredible 😌
@Vegan Higler Dang it… I live in Florida. Also, I am probably too old for you but it sounds delightful!
You sound like an old soul and very interesting.
@Vegan Higler that sounds like a great idea. As fast as time is going by these days it’ll be here before long. Let’s make a plan.
So many memories of a wonderful time in my life

Me too!beautiful songs
I was 17 when this was released…
Thumbs up.
I was 10💥💥
The best live song I've ever heard ..still to date there has never been a live song that sounds so beautifully perfect..what voices STYX has...💜
must not have ever heard running on empty by Jackson Browne then
@@michaelwallbrown3726 nope..I have not but each to their own🤷♂️
A little too perfectly like the studio recording. I think they’re lip syncing
And this is why I believe that the 70s was one of the best decades for music!! ♥♥♥
Fact!!!
They were the best my wild care free days
You don't have the believe something you know to be a fact. Belief implies doubt.
The 70s without a doubt 2nd to none
Damn square. ♥️
Grew up with this music- nothing today that can compare to the vocals, the pure musicianship and artistry. The 80's were sacred and music like this were the soundtrack of my life.
yess I'm 2008 and I love these music makes me calm
That's because the pants were tighter back then which resulted in a different pitch.
@@kurts3779troll
I heard this song for the first time at a Burger King yesterday and now I can’t get enough of this band.
Burger King sm north me listening now. 😍
Bagay kayo haha
have it ur way
What did you have? I believe their fries 🍟 are superior to most other fast food joints.
Lady is a great song to
Hell yea..its june 2020..still listenin to styx..
Of course ! It's wonderful!
Awesome. 23:57, 07/01/2020. Lima, Perú
I just saw Dennis play Best Of Times..podcast from his home in Chicago..Granted...hes a little old man these days. BUT his voice ...and tone are still solid...Actually more wholsome sounding than back in the golden years. Just search Dennis Deyounge. Right here on youtube!
👍 Attended Styx concert in November 1979 the year this album was released.
September and I'm with you bro. Beings back my Military Days
Styx is one of my all time favorite bands. Everything Dennis Deyoung sang was gold. This is really one special band. Thank you for all of your music. Amazing.
This song is fire 🔥. I love it. How many ways can you express your love?
I love this Band. They're great!!!
The river Styx flows through hell.
The time when music is a gift for our ears, real instruments, real voices, real musicians , thank you Styx especially Mr. Dennis DeYoung!
I was in Chicago Midway Airport a few years ago, waiting for my flight home. Suddenly I heard some guy singing opera at the top of his lungs! I looked up as the man with grey hair and a mustache passed on the automatic sidewalk, arms flailing like he was conducting a symphony, a slim woman beside him, in awe of her wildman... It was Dennis DeYoung and his wife, still married to his "babe" after all these years. ;)
Great story
I would have loved to be there to experience that. The guy still has, not just the pipes and the voice, but the heart. I love it.
got goosebumps..really.wow!
🙌 amazing !! Thanks for sharing🙌
Cool! Thank you for sharing.
❤M❤A❤S❤T❤E❤R❤P❤I❤E❤C❤E❤
Styx is an Awesome Band, I Love them.❤😢😭 Symbolic song for me.
Takes me back to my childhood when all was well ... Miss those that are no longer here 💔
No school dance was complete without this beautiful slow song…thanks for the memories
1983 more or less. it seems yesterday for me in 2024. i do not know if cry or to be happy.
Quarantine was rough, but an end is in sight. Finally going to be able to get out and we're going to see Styx and Reo Speedwagon in concert in July. Babe means so much to me. 5 years ago my husband's hard partying ways were finally catching up with him and almost brought it to an end. He decided to go for treatment. The night before he left, I cried when he played this song for me. 5 years later, he has been completely clean and loving life. It's only after the dark that you can see the stars...when we finally see ourselves out of this, we're going to be listening to Babe live on his 6 year anniversary....can't WAIT! thanks for the great music to see us through!
Please know that the current Styx lineup will not play this song at your concert. If you want to hear "Babe", you have to go to a Dennis DeYoung concert.
David is correct, they still put on a great concert just without Dennis Deyoung’’s “Babe”
😭😭😭 beautiful! Styx and Speedwagon concert would be MY DREAMM! It's so sad that these legends who make the best music there is don't have concerts here in India. All we get is Justin Bieber lip syncing on stage and leaving. Please! Just keep that autotune with yourself, ugh. Also, it's so beautiful that you have someone to share this music with and who shares it with you!💜💜
Comment didn’t age well.
The live concert which just sounds like recorded in studio... So clean!! Wow.. Just wow! 😮👏👏👏
Sounds very much like the studio version. Also: who plays the synth (high strings) while Dennis plays the Rhodes piano? They probably mimed during the rehearsal before the show and edited in some live footage from later that night. This is done many times. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if I run the studio version at the same time, it will be a 1:1 match. Just to make it clear: I love Dennis deYoung and Styx. If they mimed/ lip synced, it was for technical reasons.
I thought the same. Awesome
Pretty darn sure that was edited in.
One of the last pop songs of the 1970's !! 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
when the ballads were danced on a single tile on the floor
Such an incredible song..Dennis wrote 95% of their hits..he is sooo great
Best song on planet earth.
It really inspired me in childhood as to how beautifully special a love song can truly be. Thank you, Styx. 💖
Who else is here 2020?
Meeee!😀👍
Me 😂😂😂
Rachel Cay ...... me... why do you ask?
me and my wifeys song were hear
pardon the spelling lol
Wow, just hear this sound and the teenage years come back instantly.
I lost my wife Donna 6 years ago today this was her song I Will Always Love You Terry
Brings back memories of slow dances at the school discos and not having the nerve to ask a girl I liked for a dance sigh !!!
Me too brother, this song rocks
Such a bewitching piece of art.
Nicely stated 🙂

This brings back memories for sure. I always remember hearing this song travelling down Malibu canyon in the back seat of the car on my way to Zuma beach as a kid in the early 1980's. The early 1980's were a magical time as they were well past the turmoil of the 1960's and 1970's, MTV just came out, music was at its best but still well before social media, internet, cell phones, and all the problems that have resulted from them. It was like this special little gap in time between the turmoil of the past and present where you just wanted to go to the beach and go to rock concerts. Rock concerts in the 1980's were awesome, no one taking selfies just everyone having the best times of their lives. They truly were the best of times.
and Styx has a song about just that . The Best of times.
Great band, love their music 🎉
The 70s is the Best Raw Music Ever‼ Genius ‼💕🔥💕The Harmony Genius🔥
this song is a piece of magic and genius.
Yes, Indeed 👍
One of the BEST bands ever... I love love love Styx... I remember getting their album when I was in 8th grade for Christmas and I was so happy. Saw them in concert a few times too. So good live!
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.

Damn I still love this song...A True Rock Anthem

One of the iconic Styx songs, this song speaks volumes and is so timeless. Pure magic, it brings back very fond memories of high school in the 80s being with my gf who is now my loving wife of 30 yes. Love you baby and always will😘❤️🌹

Tô aqui .kkkk
👋 setembro de 2024❤
❤
Dancei muito de rosto coladinho ao som desta linda musica, ohhhh tempo maravilhoso. Saudades
This song is definitely a master piece 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
Oh wow, I was in the 9th grade when this came out. I spontaneously broke into singing this this morning and my dog was not amused 😒 😁
Anyway, we’re now in my childhood home waiting for the sale/closing next week and this song harkens back to a time when mom & dad were here and love, laughter and song were plentiful!
Love y’all forever❤️
Thank you STYX for a timeless song✨
Tough place to be. Have been there recently. Hold on to your memories.
💕
❤️👍 one of the best bands of all time! Today’s music can’t compare.
Babe I'll say it once again.❤
Love This Song! Always Have! ❤️
This was real music. Back when people could sing and play instruments, not stand around in a studio covering the flaws with filters. Golden days.
👍🌹
Your ignorance is showing.
Styx has performed at Parx Casino in Pennsylvania several times over the past few years, and they're as good as ever!
2050, anyone?
😂😂😂😂I don't expect to live that long...but as long as I live,I 'll be listening this song by Stix!I'm 63 now.
2024❤
I’m 36 I hope to see 2050
Estaremos lá,desde o Brasil......
A Beautiful Love Story, This Song always reminds you and her of a great love story
Masterpiece Of Rock Ballad
Still love this song - my sister was ten years older than me so I was introduced to this as a very young kid but have always loved it - I’ll be missing this kind of music- Babe I love you!
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
35 yrs ago and I still goosebumps on this song and other songs of styx. Love 80s and 90s songs ❤️❤️❤️
Músicas de verdade como esta nunca ficam ultrapassadas...
Lv this song.❤Love is definitely our reason for being here..God BLESS those who LOVE.💕 and may not be with the one they love.
My favorite Styx song. Kelsey Esquivel, this song's for you. It's been 7 years but thoughts of you still linger on my mind.
I'm sorry for your loss, Jayson.
Jayson, same here for Lori; I will hold my thoughts for her as long as I live.
This was my husband and my song. Rest in peace Raymond.
I remember hearing this on the radio on the school bus in the morning. When radio stations played real music.
Never tire of hearing this lovely song Thankyou❤
Tem coisas que nunca deveriam envelhecer e nem acabar .
Styx é uma delas !
...............................
There's things that never should grow old and neither end .
Styx is one those !
Vdd essa música marcou na minha vida até lembro é de 79 lembro da 1 namorada a sdd
高校受験を控えてるのに深夜ラジオに

STYXで1番好きな曲です❤
His voice. Such clarity and power. This band. Incredible memories for all of us.
@emilytom3590 since 1975
@emilytom3590 vocals and instrumental arrangements
Desde que o Ed Motta falou que na primeira vez dele tocou essa música tem sido muito difícil ouvir de novo a canção.
Muito linda.
Wears your gold harp and moms still teaching angels a song
This sing is forever. I love it.
Linda canção, era criança e amava uma coleguinha da minha sala escolar, quando ouvia essa canção imaginava eu cantando para ela quantas lembranças maravilhas...
