So many songs have those crucial moments that just move the soul. With this one for me it starts about 2:58 with special affection for 3:02 when the strings (synth?) pick up. Discovered this song about a year ago and became a fast fave!

Have loved this song, Penny & the album it comes from. Great power-ballad sung with the heart of her mentor Chaka! ~K

Do you know where I can find lyrics to this song? I love it so much but some of what she says around the bridge is unintelligible and I find myself making up lyrics.LOL

@retrorhythms it truly is an underrated gem. I know you said the female from Rose Royce also did it. I would love to hear that but I'm sure Penny's would remain my favorite

LOL, I sing it, too, and get to that part and find myself in the same predicament. I think I deciphered most of them. Penny told me in my interview with her in 2012 (which you can find on BlogCritics) that Randy used her first take, sung straight through...so that is what you hear (and probably the reason for that)! She wanted to do it again, but he felt strongly that she really captured the feeling straight away.
