Amazing how a song can impact you, and bring back incredible and wonderful memories...... I sang this song to my sweet little 6month old son, and I still hear him laugh! He is now 29, and my heart still melts every time I hear this song
They played this at my friends funeral the other day with a montage of photos of her and her husband... I sobbed and sobbed. She left behind such a wonderful legacy.
Love this song, I miss the days when singers sang from the heart and when musicians actually played music, music was so much better in the 80's than now.
I’m 88 baby.. just heard this song the other day! Been on repeat ever since.. just lately I’ve been listening to 80’s soft rock. My boss from work got me into it. Shit is 🔥 Christopher Cross is dope as well lol anywho, y’all have grateful day! Much love from California ✌🏽
The gorgeous and fragrant Mandy Wright and i chose this as our wedding song in 1988. Been a favourite of mine since 1983. Guess what, we are still married and 4 kids later we still love listening to this song. Lionel legend.
This is such a great song and video from my early childhood. I wish there were VEVO quality video of it on RUclips. This video should have more views. It’s one of my favorites from Lionel Richie.
Was that highlighting Black women comment meant to be sarcastic? LBS I mean considering the high majority of women (and people) in this vid are White. LOL
Everything about this tune gives me a lovely feeling inside, the beat, the video, the way he sings it and the tone of his voice.....PURE HEAVEN, LOVE IT!!! XXX
actually in Lionel Ritchie's old albums, the back up singer who harmonize with him was actually Richard Marx...that's how Lionel help him at the start...
I keep seeing comments like that about the fashions then but I just don't get it. Today we're basically living in a "People of Walmart" world where 99% of the population would qualify for that page. It's the era of the great American slob. People 25-30 years ago are a damned sight better that anything I see when I step out my door now. This video is great. I love seeing normal, decent looking people again.
I'm usually a big rock 'n roll fan, but this song really touches my heart. I like like Lionel Ritchie more than Barry Manilow. Lionel's singing is excellent. Nothing further. :)
For me, this is Lionel's finest solo moment, and even though I preferred him in the Commodores, for me, their best tune which was Brick House wasn't even a Lionel lead vocal.....
"You Are" Baby you'll find There's only one love Yours and mine I've got so much love And needing you so My love for you I'll never let go I've got so much love All I want is to hold you Let me show how much I love you baby (show you) I don't mind and I don't mind (loving you) Girl I love you There's no one above you [Chorus:] You are the sun You are the rain That makes my life this foolish game You need to know I love you so And I'd do it all again and again Tell me it's true I can't believe you do what you do I've got so much love And my love you'll see We'll stay together, just you and me I've got so much love Only you (know me) Tell me how to love you baby (show me) I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me) Girl, I love you Always thinking of you [Chorus] I know you know the way I feel And I need your love for always Cause when I'm with you I fall in love Again and again and again, baby. [Chorus]
I like to think I am lucky for being 18 and enjoying the classics from the 70's and 80's. I only have my mother to thank for raising me on R&B and classic rock so that I didn't grow up to be one of those kids who think that the new shitty music is good.
great song i remember playing it back in 84 when i proposed to my wife why music dont sound like that anymore i admit while listening to it knowing what i going to do after the song i started tearing and she looked at me in my eyes and asked whats wrong and i told her an she said yes now we both sitting in my moms driveway faces all wet what a night memories are forever (hey phambo im sorry for your lost but im sure she loved it)
I'll always love this his music it has guided me through my ups and downs in my life loving a good woman and then losing her in the process... the bad thing about the music scene today is you will never see love songs like this ever again being in love for real is gone sorry to say everything is fast, fake, quick fast and a hurry I've been out of the game to be for two years and I definitely want to get back in but not in a hurry to do so there's too much out there and some of it is not a good thing but if I want to take my mind back in the days well I just go to RUclips and pull up a old love song and just listen
When this song first came out, my little brother referred to it as "The WHOA-WHOA Song". I thought he was an idiot until I paid closer attention to the chorus. Start listening at 1:22, you'll see what he was talking about. ;)
I am born in 1981 but not in Canada or us but everytime I listen this song I always imagine the university or college students how to live their live without internet or mobile device
Lionel Richie’s first solo single was “Truly” (1982) which went to #1. “You Are” (1982) came next, giving the performer an uptempo song with energy. This is an “I will love you forever and give you the world” piece, with lyrics filled with metaphors to describe the lady of his life. We even learn that she is (metaphorically) both the sun and the rain❕ Richard Marx sang backup on this track, which required deft background vocals. Marx claimed : “Every session I ever did with Lionel, or for him, was a very fun atmosphere. I’ve been on so many sessions where it’s a downer, and you just try to get through it and nobody is having fun. Lionel is always having fun - no matter what.” A video was created for “You Are,” but MTV ignored it. The network didn’t give BLACK ARTISTS significant airtime until Prince and Michael Jackson broke through‼️ THAT BEGS THE QUESTION : since Prince and Michael Jackson are no more, what now⁉️ 🖤🎹🤍
I can't imagine anyone not having a liking for this song.
The “80s” the GOLDEN years of music , such a beautiful decade for music
Not only my favourite Lionel Richie song, but one of the best songs ever! Top class
Music doesnt get much better than this!
How can you compare Huey Lewis with Lionel Richie?
My all-time favorite song by Lionel Richie! They just don't make music like this anymore.

Amazing how a song can impact you, and bring back incredible and wonderful memories...... I sang this song to my sweet little 6month old son, and I still hear him laugh! He is now 29, and my heart still melts every time I hear this song
So he'd be 39/40 now in 2022? Is your heart still melting? I pray the last 10 yrs have been good to you and your son🙏🥰
according to Billboard magazine this was the 29th biggest hit of 1983 in the U.S.
I remember 😊 Whenever I want to be happy, I remember this song, the beach and boardwalk 💖
There needs to be a love button.
They played this at my friends funeral the other day with a montage of photos of her and her husband... I sobbed and sobbed. She left behind such a wonderful legacy.
Love this song, I miss the days when singers sang from the heart and when musicians actually played music, music was so much better in the 80's than now.
Basically times before the early early 2000's
Yes 90's and early early 200's
80's baby who still enjoys real music💯💯
same here
Richard Marx sung background vocals here. Lionel helped him get a start in the music business.
+Johnny English
good to know
Interesting...
that's good trivia
You the real MVP sir!!!!! 😂🤣 Cuz I was wondering cuz I love his part!!!! 🙏🏻💯🔥
I’m 88 baby.. just heard this song the other day! Been on repeat ever since.. just lately I’ve been listening to 80’s soft rock. My boss from work got me into it. Shit is 🔥 Christopher Cross is dope as well lol anywho, y’all have grateful day! Much love from California ✌🏽
What a great song, back when people actually liked each other and got along
This is a masterpiece love song by Lionel that takes way back to ‘82 memories, As 18 years old living In NYC
I LOVE THIS SONG! It takes me back to the year when I got married. Lionel you are a living genius!
"only you... Know me" gets me every time.
This song made me feel good when it came on as a child. And it stills make me feel the same way even today.
One of the greatest voices of the 80´ s ! Forever Richie !

The gorgeous and fragrant Mandy Wright and i chose this as our wedding song in 1988. Been a favourite of mine since 1983. Guess what, we are still married and 4 kids later we still love listening to this song. Lionel legend.
This song literally gives me the happy feeling as Stevie's "You're the sunshine of my life" does!

This Song Went To Number 4 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1983.
2nd grade Junior High School, feels just like yesterday...
This is such a great song and video from my early childhood. I wish there were VEVO quality video of it on RUclips. This video should have more views. It’s one of my favorites from Lionel Richie.
She is still my sun and rain ...
I could’ve died not knowing this beautiful song had a video. And to top it all, the choreography at 2:16 is absolutely enchanting. ❤
Still a great song! Sounds as fresh as it did.
This is my fave by Lionel...great vid as well...I love how they highlighted the beauty and vibrancy of the black women!!
I take it you are new to Lionel Richie ?
Anna Marie Why don't you fuck off...nothing new about that!!
Was that highlighting Black women comment meant to be sarcastic? LBS I mean considering the high majority of women (and people) in this vid are White. LOL

My favourite Lionel Richie song.
actually in Lionel Ritchie's old albums, the back up singer who harmonize with him was actually Richard Marx...that's how Lionel help him at the start...
Remember "You Shook It All Night Long"
I love this song. Never gets old.
Lionel Richie is one of the best singers and music
The early 80's version of The Carlton Dance at 3:21. LOL!!
The "Carlton" dance was a version of the dance in this video (it came first). what we called that dance back then, i can't say (not PC).
LOL
It's your birthday my love... I'm thinking about you as you've been gone for so many years. I pray I get to see you again on the other side.
I think my kids got sick of this song, lol. But I still love it. Pretty, mellow & romantic.
Great memories of the 80’s ❤✨
My favorite love song of all time. Perfection from the first note
It hit #4 on the charts in early 1983.
I keep seeing comments like that about the fashions then but I just don't get it. Today we're basically living in a "People of Walmart" world where 99% of the population would qualify for that page. It's the era of the great American slob. People 25-30 years ago are a damned sight better that anything I see when I step out my door now. This video is great. I love seeing normal, decent looking people again.
Wonderfully produced and choregraphed video for a song that, sadly, gets little airplay today. The ending is perfect. So good!
A song from my teen's, still love it today 😁
Wow, 80's throwback.
I love this song and this video 📹❤😍💕💗💜📹❤😍💕💗
83 84 was badass years for music
what a medley, ALL I WANT IS TO HOLD YOUUUUU.......
I'm usually a big rock 'n roll fan, but this song really touches my heart. I like like Lionel Ritchie more than Barry Manilow. Lionel's singing is excellent. Nothing further. :)
Still listening to this classic from my teen years *2022*!!
Kerry Washington's, 2022, Halloween costume made me think of this song. Also @3:26: I love that image.
Yesss haven't heard this in a while!!!
Listening in 2023!
Omg, im so sorry for your loss!
Bring back so much memories.
Fun fact: A then 19 year old Richard Marx sang background vocals on You Are.
Puts a smile in my heart ❤️ Thank you.
You are is my most favourite song
For me, this is Lionel's finest solo moment, and even though I preferred him in the Commodores, for me, their best tune which was Brick House wasn't even a Lionel lead vocal.....
Lionel Ritchie. Comodores and solo.
It's so romantic ❤️. Love this song.
A classic in the already must have Lionel Richie catalog.anotber gem and a feel good song
"You Are"
Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love
And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love
All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you
[Chorus:]
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again
Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love
Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you
[Chorus]
I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you
I fall in love
Again and again and again, baby.
[Chorus]
I like it of this my Favorite Lyric Song's
Fantastic
One of the best love songs!! ❤️
I like to think I am lucky for being 18 and enjoying the classics from the 70's and 80's.
I only have my mother to thank for raising me on R&B and classic rock so that I didn't grow up to be one of those kids who think that the new shitty music is good.
These are real artists.........
This is from a really special time in my life. u never know how good a song is until it stands the test of time.

So uplifting, the lyrics are wonderful.
When this song first came out, my little brother referred to it as "The WHOA-WHOA Song". I thought he was an idiot until I paid closer attention to the chorus. Start listening at 1:22, you'll see what he was talking about. ;)
this song makes me happy ! especially when they play it on 94.7 the Wave

Don't forget the 3rd single, "My Love"
Thats some feel good music

Tempo bom que não volta mais....
Good old times that will never come back....

Oh man! The good ole days!! 💓
