Babe

I can appreciate lyrics as much as the next guy, but I think this song is one of the sappiest I have ever heard. It's as if they said "let's write a top 40 love ballad hit" and proceeded to do so. I remember several couples in high school and college who chose this as "their song" when they had to part in September. Yeccchhh!! (of course, I didn't have a girlfriend at the time, so maybe I'm just bitter, but I still think this song is sappy)

This song was written by Dennis De Young for his wife Suzanne. I believe they are still married and have a good relationship, so I would assume this was written about him being on the road and touring, not about being in a dead-end relationship.

A sad song,but so beautiful. :) Dennis DeYoung is amazing musician.

WOW! I can't believe no-one has commented ont this song, it's awsome, it reminds me (the chorus) of this girl that I know. Whenever I think that I have no reason to do anything, she gives me the strength to go on.

About a guy who must move on and separate from his true love, for whatever reason their relationship is a dead end right now. Maybe she is married to someone else or maybe he's just mov'n on and she can't join him. sentimental and touching song.

I absolutely love this song...it's one of those love songs that really hits hard for me...

It's not my favorite by Styx, but it's certainly high on the list.

This is on i-tunes list of essential love songs. Just thought I'd mention that.

This has really nice lyrics, it's meaningful, mainly being, that he is leaving, for whatever reason, but will continue to miss her, and he needs to know that she'll will keep loving him as well.

i think this song is styx's way of saying "babe, jason loves jaime" this song is about me and my girl's great relationship! lol

byteskat got it right. Dennis Deyoung wrote this song for his wife because he was away from her so much while the band was touring. But if you have a special lady in your life, it also works as a love song to her. Beautiful song, BTW.
