I was 6 years old when this came out. Dad used to play it for mom. Dad passed away 10 years ago. I still Remember him everytime I hear this song. The 80 were the greatest time to be alive.
boostedscooby1 this song always takes me back to meeting my beloved .... he went to heaven the day after our 19the wedding anniversary 11 years ago ...bet he & your dad are smiling now knowing this song makes us think of them👌🙌🕊
The 80’s were the last great decade for Rock music. Seems like every other song had great saxophone and keyboard. No one is making music like this anymore. But thank God we still have this to love forever!
It looks and feels so different to see an audience listening intently to the artists as opposed to a more modern audience where you can see most of them raising and looking at their cell phones to record what is happening.
What is it about some songs... they get past all your defenses and get to the very heart of our emotions. They can make you happy when you're sad, make you sad when you're happy, make you melancholy for another time in your life, and make you hopeful for the future. This is one of those songs. I love this stuff....
+Batt Mann How true! I had pretty much forgotten this tune until a few months ago I ran across it and since then cannot get enough of it. Brings back so many fond memories, emotions, and sad ones to but really gets to my soul!
I haven't heard this song in years. I came across today in a mixed cd. I played it 10 times today on full blast. The singing, instruments and HOW ABOUT THAT SAX? unbelievable and wicked. Glad I discovered that mixed cd.
One of the GREATEST love songs ever written. You, can really feel the passion they had for each other. To think they where at one time thinking of letting Whitney Houston sing this song. So, glad they chose to keep it for themselves. It's been one of my favorite songs for the last 20 years.
Paul K I totally agree Paul. This has to be one of the most romantic songs ever written and the nicest thing of all about it is the fact they were a married couple. I am hoping to have this as my first dance song when I get to marry the special lady in my life.
I have been eternally grateful for that. I wasn't a big Whitney Houston fan, and if memory serves, it was potentially going to be licensed to her, as other songs of their were...SO glad they did this themselves, it is an 80's masterpiece.
Anyone else find that this song causes a few tears to escape your eyes, yet in a melancholy way rather than sorrowfully? Guess it makes me think of someone who is extremely important to me, even after 35 years...
This is a fabulous song! "Waiting for a star to fall, carry your heart into my arms, that's where you belong, in my arms, baby, yeah." Now, that's LOVE! Fun Fact: George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam (not sure of that spelling) not only wrote *this* romantic song, they wrote *two* Number 1 hits for Whitney Houston! "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"!! Cool, huh?
Vincent --- I agree. My eyes tear up every single time i listen to this song. George and Shannon were so talented. Man. i miss the 70's and 80's music. Thank goodness we have RUclips to bring it all back.
I also fell in love with this song, first time I heard it and watched it on MTV, wow I was hooked on a beautiful love song. Waiting for a star to fall and carry your heart into my arms baby yeah. And I also loved Shannon, her smile, how she smiled during filming of their music video, and she had a lovely voice. A beautiful song and memory that warms my heart through all these years and still through today. Trying to Catch...
The 80s has gotta be the only decade where obscure people/bands could materialize out of nowhere write one amazing timeless song and then disappear. Man what a great time it was.
Brilliant song! I remember listening to this song in the late 1980's. Wow! they wrote to songs for Whitney Houston to sing. "How would I Know", and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
I think I was too young to have heard it (or remember hearing it) when it first debuted. Now I'm almost 40, and every time I hear it, it gets better. I suppose some songs have a way of getting better with time.
Yep....someone who I only met a year ago and is possibly the best person I have ever met. It's like she is a "star waiting to fall....straight into my arms"
The Saxophone is what seals it for me with this song. I just have this thing for saxophones in 80s music no matter the style. That and this song is just one of those song that has a feel good feeling about it.
"I wish I didn't feel so strong about ya, like happiness and love revolve around ya." "I can't love you this much baby, and love you from this far." Those lines make me weepy because of an on-line friendship that developed, and then disappeared. We kind of adopted this as our song since he was all the way across the country.
These were the days when music made you feel good & still does today, what is it with today's shit i sound like a stuck record always repeating myself, i just can't believe how shit today's shit actually is, long live the 80's :)
The singing, harmonies, keyboards, awesome bass, drums in the pocket, great chord progressions, sound design, arrangement and production. All top notch. No autotune required lol. A great song for so many reasons 😀
The drummer is propelling the entire song along and just listen to that shimmering duet chorus "Waiting For A Star To Fall And Carry Your Heart Into My Arms Thats Where You Belong In My Arms Baby Ya! Is sooooooooo nice...
I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you baby That must be what you are Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah I've learned to feel what I cannot see But with you I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much baby And love you from this far Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah Waiting (however long...) I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...) It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...) Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...) Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah I SUNG THIS SONG 🎵 LAST NIGHT AND MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND KATY WEATHERALL LOVED ME SINGING IT WE FACETIMED EACH OTHER ON WHATSAPP LAST NIGHT AND SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CHEER ME UP AND I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR HER DOING THAT FOR ME I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND I REALLY WANT TO MARRY HER AND SHE WANTS TO MARRY ME AS WELL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the true story behind this song. Whitney Houston could have owned it, Arista Records Clive Davis, said "it didn't fit Whitney". Belinda Carlisle recorded it, but rejected it. In the end they decided to just sing it themselves and they did a historical performance with it!
So true!!! You could actually go on a date and they were normal. 😊😊😊 Also if the date didn't work out you can stay and listen to the band with your friends!!! 😊😊😊
Always loved this song. Heard George do a slower solo version on electric keyboard, also great but sadder sounding...sadder yet was learning they'd divorced in 2000. Finally, saddest of all, Shannon hasn't looked me up.🤗
everytime i hear this song i remember 1989, i was 16 years old, that was one of my best times, and this song bring me to that time, thanks Boy Meets Girld for this song, its my favorite..
Back when music had meaning and feeling ! So many memories
and hair!
Amen🎼🎶🫶🏼 ❤❤❤❤❤🎶🫶🏼🎼
This such a beautiful song 🎵 the music today just doesn't compare 80s ✨️🦋✨️
I was 6 years old when this came out. Dad used to play it for mom. Dad passed away 10 years ago. I still Remember him everytime I hear this song. The 80 were the greatest time to be alive.
Huzzah! 👍👍💓
What country do you live in
Not live! 👎🏻👎🏻
お父さんは、星になり、あなたを見守ってくれているはずです。
この曲で時々、思い出してあげてください。
boostedscooby1 this song always takes me back to meeting my beloved .... he went to heaven the day after our 19the wedding anniversary 11 years ago ...bet he & your dad are smiling now knowing this song makes us think of them👌🙌🕊
The 80’s were the last great decade for Rock music. Seems like every other song had great saxophone and keyboard. No one is making music like this anymore. But thank God we still have this to love forever!
Yup, saxophone feature in Hall and Oates ManEater, Huey Lewise Hip to Be Square, etc.
The retrospective of 80s hits with this song as the theme, is AWESOME. The nostalgia is almost painful...
And also harmonica solos were used. Like Michael Monroe (of Hanoi Rocks) used in one of his songs.
Everybody here knows this is a great song lyrically, but he's a hell of a singer too
So True!
Wow I love both of their voices. I'm so thankful to have grew up to best decade of music
Grown
One of the best songs of the 80's
i agree
Yes and Feel good song. I miss the 80s music.😊
It looks and feels so different to see an audience listening intently to the artists as opposed to a more modern audience where you can see most of them raising and looking at their cell phones to record what is happening.
What are your other favorites?
Best*
Didn’t realize how much I like this song till now.....30 years later! Pure music!
Awesome fun times in the"80"s!!!!
I was 31 years old when this came out. It is a great tune that has lasted the test of time.
This classic masterpiece still gives me goose bumps all these yrs later..................BRAVO!
I don't know how anyone could dislike this song.
What is it about some songs... they get past all your defenses and get to the very heart of our emotions. They can make you happy when you're sad, make you sad when you're happy, make you melancholy for another time in your life, and make you hopeful for the future. This is one of those songs.

I haven't heard this song in years. I came across today in a mixed cd. I played it 10 times today on full blast. The singing, instruments and HOW ABOUT THAT SAX? unbelievable and wicked. Glad I discovered that mixed cd.
Yes the saxophone is great a point special in the soung. 👍😀
Finally found this song. Whata great song. So much better than most music today
Those 39 people that have thumbs down don't know music....
One of the GREATEST love songs ever written. You, can really feel the passion they had for each other. To think they where at one time thinking of letting Whitney Houston sing this song. So, glad they chose to keep it for themselves. It's been one of my favorite songs for the last 20 years.
I'm glad they kept it also.
Paul K I totally agree Paul. This has to be one of the most romantic songs ever written and the nicest thing of all about it is the fact they were a married couple. I am hoping to have this as my first dance song when I get to marry the special lady in my life.
I was thinking the same exact thing!
It was Whitney who refused it. Belinda Carlisle refused the song too, so Boy Meets Girl recorded it themselves and so it became a masterpiece.
Too bad, they are no longer together.
I dont care what anybody says, You Light up my Life is a great song
One of the best records ever made in the 80s, the Sax 🎷 at the start gets me every time, it's a beautiful record 💖💖💖💖💖 and both amazing voices
Im glad that they recorded this themselves. Sometimes songs sound better coming from the people who write them.
It's 2020 still one of the best song in my play list.
What came from the heart easy enter the others hearts
I have been eternally grateful for that. I wasn't a big Whitney Houston fan, and if memory serves, it was potentially going to be licensed to her, as other songs of their were...SO glad they did this themselves, it is an 80's masterpiece.
Shimmering and irresistible musical magic!
Pretty hard to believe this jewel of a song never hit number one...
Anyone else find that this song causes a few tears to escape your eyes, yet in a melancholy way rather than sorrowfully? Guess it makes me think of someone who is extremely important to me, even after 35 years...
Good old eighties. No pretence just enjoying themselves.
Hetgdss2rdď21
Awesome fun days!!! 😊😊😊
Absolutely one of the last great songs of the fabulous 80’s!
This is a fabulous song! "Waiting for a star to fall, carry your heart into my arms, that's where you belong, in my arms, baby, yeah." Now, that's LOVE!
Fun Fact: George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam (not sure of that spelling) not only wrote *this* romantic song, they wrote *two* Number 1 hits for Whitney Houston! "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"!! Cool, huh?
Huh?

I wish they sang those other two songs...
This song makes me forget my sadness
You are lovely, Lucy.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too...
Y sad?
I still sing it to my love even if he has been gone for 11 years.
I grew up in 60s but some of the best music came out of the 80s. Everything from pop to R&B to hair bands. Some great stuff.
The 80s has gotta be the only decade where obscure people/bands could materialize out of nowhere write one amazing timeless song and then disappear.
Man what a great time it was.
Actually Shannon was behind a lot of 80's artist with some of her most famous songs going to Whitney Houston
Awesome!!! Fun!!! 😊😊😊
Brilliant song! I remember listening to this song in the late 1980's. Wow! they wrote to songs for Whitney Houston to sing. "How would I Know", and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
At uncertain times like this, she's able to conquer the odds with her commanding performance.
Such a brilliant songwriting duo.
Fun fact: This duo wrote "How Do I know" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" for Whitney but kept this song for themselves!
Whitney's team unfortunately rejected the song though it's written about and for her
A great song from a great band ! I miss the 80s and 90s very much;(
Love, Live this song. One of the best of its time. 80’s best music.
Gran canción. Como ya no se hacen. Tuvimos suerte los que vivimos los ochentas
Great song one of my favourites shame they don't make songs like this anymore
Great pieces like this stands the test of time. Still love it after all these years.
Love this song! Breaks my heart that they are divorced now.
I think I was too young to have heard it (or remember hearing it) when it first debuted. Now I'm almost 40, and every time I hear it, it gets better. I suppose some songs have a way of getting better with time.
😊😊😊
The Hair and style was amazing in the 80s
loved growing up in the 80, it was amazing
me to, concerts at football stadiums, drive in movies, only bummer i had to go to all boys high school
Yep....someone who I only met a year ago and is possibly the best person I have ever met. It's like she is a "star waiting to fall....straight into my arms"
So beautiful and sadly underrated,..but us who knows it’s existence are blessed 🙏🏻😉❤️
I love this group. This song is the best. I wish there are more songs like this in 2021.
The Saxophone is what seals it for me with this song. I just have this thing for saxophones in 80s music no matter the style. That and this song is just one of those song that has a feel good feeling about it.
god i miss the 80's
Beautiful lyrics and performance. Can't do any better than this.
I love this song!
I love too!!!
Best “put you in a good mood song” ever.
He got a good thing with that woman. She's absolutely gorgeous.
Que Banda Maravilhosa!! Muito bom mesmo, e que qualidade musical!!! Parabéns mesmo!!!
I still cry when I listen to this...I'll miss her forever. So many opportunities for us to be together but life interfered...
"I wish I didn't feel so strong about ya, like happiness and love revolve around ya."
"I can't love you this much baby, and love you from this far."
Those lines make me weepy because of an on-line friendship that developed, and then disappeared. We kind of adopted this as our song since he was all the way across the country.
Ok, I admit it...I love this song in all its cheesy glory. Great melody and phrasing.
Nothing cheesy. Just class all the way
Great song. Happy song. Reminds me of my younger days in Myrtle Beach, SC working as a bar tender. Wonderful times.
Who is listening to this in 2021?? I am! Whose with me?? 😃😃😉😁
This song, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Great 80s tune! 👊🇨🇦
These were the days when music made you feel good & still does today, what is it with today's shit i sound like a stuck record always repeating myself, i just can't believe how shit today's shit actually is, long live the 80's :)
The '80s were the fun times!!!
I haven't heard this song in awhile, it is so beautiful. Great voices, great band, love the sax! Thank You.
80年代は最高の年代だった。
This is one of my all time favourites as someone who was there I miss the 1980,s
This song has precious memories for me about someone who I still love after 23 years...... wow
Love the song... Love the saxophone...! ❤❤
I wish i could fall in love again
don't we all .. don't we all .. ???
Any other songwriters/musicians realize how incredibly staggering this composition is and just blown away by it?
The singing, harmonies, keyboards, awesome bass, drums in the pocket, great chord progressions, sound design, arrangement and production. All top notch. No autotune required lol.
A great song for so many reasons 😀
Yes, it is incredibly staggering. The intro in particular is divine. It dropped out of a vault in heaven.
Que saudades dessa época 🥰🥰❤❤❤
I was 17 when this song came out...such a masterpiece.
The drummer is propelling the entire song along and just listen to that shimmering duet chorus "Waiting For A Star To Fall And Carry Your Heart Into My Arms Thats Where You Belong In My Arms Baby Ya!
Is sooooooooo nice...
Que bonito cantan el duo
Muchas estrellas para ellos
💿🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
Waiting (however long...)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...)
Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...)
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
I SUNG THIS SONG 🎵 LAST NIGHT AND MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND KATY WEATHERALL LOVED ME SINGING IT WE FACETIMED EACH OTHER ON WHATSAPP LAST NIGHT AND SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CHEER ME UP AND I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR HER DOING THAT FOR ME

The energy in this song is amazing
The drummer is awesome.

This song is like hope written as music.
Great song one of my favourites
Awesom classic 😀 child hood memories who's listening during lock down covid 19 thums UP
I love the true story behind this song. Whitney Houston could have owned it, Arista Records Clive Davis, said "it didn't fit Whitney". Belinda Carlisle recorded it, but rejected it. In the end they decided to just sing it themselves and they did a historical performance with it!
I like very, very much; this song brings happyness,and the hope in a new life, new friendship, new love.....😘😘😘,
So true!!! You could actually go on a date and they were normal. 😊😊😊 Also if the date didn't work out you can stay and listen to the band with your friends!!! 😊😊😊
Great sax!
ESA FUE POR LOS FINES DE LOS 80!!! EPOCA DE LA JUVENTUD
My alltime favourite feel good song ever😍🥰❤💕
What a song! Takes you right back to the days!
Always loved this song. Heard George do a slower solo version on electric keyboard, also great but sadder sounding...sadder yet was learning they'd divorced in 2000. Finally, saddest of all, Shannon hasn't looked me up.🤗
born in 1970-mis the 80's...the girls oh my god!
Absolutely wonderful, good-time feeling song!
I hope he as a pleasant time in heaven God bless his soul
I am a 60sometging diehard metal fan this song makes every fibre of being smile right from the intro onwards
Pasen los años que pacen te amo me encanta tu música ❤
