My momma sent this song to me 2 months before she passed away on June 29th 2020. She just wanted me to be the best man in the world for my wife. You were such a strong single parent momma. I love you with all my heart RIP Pauline Chavez
❤❤❤❤❤just think how AMAZING JESUS IS HE GAVE US A CHANCE TO SEND FOR EVER ANS FOR EVER TO BE WITH OUR LOVE ONES SO BE READY WHEN WE LEAVE THIS SIDE OF LIFE IT'S COMING ONE DAY WHEN WE SLEEP SOME TIMES ITS LIKE A MINUTE OUR A WEEK BUT IF YOU TAKE A MILLION YEARS OUT OF FORM FOREVER IT'S JUST A SECOND.😮😮😮
Listen to the lyrics people! A real man appreciating his lady, the intimacy, being next to her and being so grateful for her love. (To whisper words to make you feel like a woman)....Lord have mercy!!!!!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I can relate because my 2nd fiancee who I was going to marry last year in November, died in August last year. This song reminds me of the lovely fiancee I'm with now, like many other love songs that remind me of how lucky I am to have her in my life.
This song explains everything. I had never heard it until I left my wife. Now after 4 years of being a part, by the Grace of God we will be back in each other's arms one day. Through Him, all things are possible.
Keep on believing. My husband and I were together since I was 16. When I turned 40, he left. We kept in contact because of the kids. I prayed about it and did not get in another relationship. I started traveling and enjoying myself with friends and my 2 sons. Eight years later, he returned. God is good.
A timeless classic. Still love this song and still playing it on my playlist along with Three Times a Lady and others. This is what real music is all about.
One and a half years ago I found/located an old love/wonderful friend who I lost touch with for 18 years. Found him when I Googled him, messaged him and we have one of those 'forever' friendships!! We went to Europe a year ago and it was wonderful! He is visiting in December. He sent this song to me on my i-phone. How lucky can a girl get??
The Commodores have been my favorite group since I was a teen in the late 70's and this is one reason why, Great Song. Thanks for making this wonderful video and sharing it also.
I want to dedicate this song to that special young woman i have yet to meet. So we can live in love forever. Live our lives together. Truly a blessing from God. I can't wait to meet her. Girl you got me yearning for your love.
Touching words......... Just to be close to you girl Just for a moment, well just for an hour Just to be close to you girl Oh well ah baby aw You know I've been thru so many changes in my life girl Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody Aw and then again I've been down real low where There was no one in my life who needed me Aw and I found that material things I thought had so much value Aw girl didn't really have any value at all There was a lonely man A man with no direction, with no purpose With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me Aw girl then you, then you came into my life You made my jagged edges smooth You made my direction so clear and you aw woman You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl
I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO THAT SPECIAL WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA. MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE TO HER! MY HEART WILL NEVER LET HER GO! GOD KNOWS I HAVE TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO LET HER GO. I JUST HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I HAVE GIVEN INTO LOVE! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT WOMAN FROM CALIFORNIA❤!
This is so touchy. I have the same feelings for my first love, which I'm connected with now. This was one of our favourite songs when we were in love once. (1982-1984). Love you, Erik for the rest of my life, even tho we're not together.
This describes my life so perfectly minus the getting the woman part- I've been so lonely since my divorce in 2010. I've dated different women and none fill the void in my heart. I have turned to material things, and that doesn't fill it either. I am 48 now and getting older. I am still waiting for that special lady that will love and caress me till my dying days.
... Aw... and I found that material things I thought had so much "vay-ya" (value)... hilarious!...😂 He's so "country" at the beginning, speaking some of his words and then he breaks off into this beautiful melody..."then I was a lonely man"... Gotta love it! 🥰💕
I remember first hearing this in my Auntie's Black Pontiac, must have been 4 or 5 yrs old in 1979-1980. The big 8 track cartridge. Looking at the cover, "The Commodores."
Do you know how hard it is playing this on the radio and not starting the beginning part over and over..... I'm here to tell ya it's extremely hard! Lol! But I pushed through! Peace!
This beautiful song remind me of my high school days in the 70's at high school dance and that boy I had a crush on, he has pass on to glory and when I hear it I think of him RIP M. Lacy🙏
I love cateyes. Been in my life for over 10 years . We had alot more goods goods days then bad. I want here to listen to this song. I will always love you. That's another song...

My favorite band growing up , have all there albums treasure them , first concert ever went to , brought most of my high school class !!!
Touching words.........
Just to be close to you girl
Just for a moment, well just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl
Oh well ah baby aw
You know I've been thru so many changes in my life girl
Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody
Aw and then again I've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me
Aw and I found that material things I thought had so much value
Aw girl didn't really have any value at all
There was a lonely man
A man with no direction, with no purpose
With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me
Aw girl then you, then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my direction so clear and you aw woman
You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl
