This song by Charlene is one of my favorite. It always makes me teary eyed when I listen to it. Probably because am pregnant am just too emotional but the lyrics always touches a chord in my heart. I haven't heard this song for a long while until earlier tonight when my daughter wants to see my favorite song on youtube and I came accross on with this one.
Do you like this song too or do you have any song in particular that even if you haven't heard it for a long time, the next time you listen to it..it always makes you nostalgic or feeling romantic.

That song was written by Ron Miller. The song was a big hit for Charlene in 1981 or 1982 on Motown Records. I think she was also a one-hit wonder with it also.
In addition to Charlene, The Temptations also sang their own version, with some of the lyrics changed, & included it on their Reunion album. Dennis Edwards was the lead singer of that song. While I like that version a lot more, I have found it somewhat disappointing. The Reunion album was supposed to include two former Temptation members, David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks. I do not hear Eddie nor David on that song, not even in the background.

Thank you so much for the info. I never heard of the Temptations version but will look it up at youtube. I was thinking it was probably a one hit wonder but it is just a pretty song.
Thanks for the comment.

Unfortunately, it is probably not on Youtube. Also, being that i'm not home right now, I'll add you to my friends list, & see if I can send you the version that way. The only thing that you might find available from the Reunion album is the single (4 minute) version of "Standing On The Top" - the feature single. The album itself is out of print.
