Floyd / Janice,
This is one, if not the most beautiful song I have heard on the forum... It is a tremendous song and the performances are incredible.
This should be Number 1 on the charts - it's that good.
Outstanding!

floyd / Janice
Classy indeed! A beautiful production with flawless vocals superbly harmonized.
Love how you two synchronize so seamlessly.
As you say a classic number, with all the elements in place.
A real showcase for the talent on the forum.
Excellent.

From the opening, it sounds excellent. The lyrics proclaim it's classic country, the vocal pairing is excellent - of course. Janice is superb as always, and I love the cry in your voice. Great writing, arrangement and chorus. Piano is especially good. Love it.

FJ, This is probably one of the best duets with Janice from your collection. Well thought out piece lyrically and musically. Janice is loud and clear on this  Duet choruses are very strong! Mixing & production is top notch. Congrats to both of you + Bud. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Great writing, arrangement and chorus. Piano is especially good. Love it. Plus one! This is the best duet I`ve heard on the forum. Move over Garth & Trisha, Floyd & Janice will take it from here!

Wow!
This has to be my new favorite song from you, man those vocals! And then when Janice comes in ..... goosebumps!
Possibly the best country song ever posted on this forum, pure perfection from the write, the performance, and the production.
One to be proud of, well done you two!!

Nice work Floyd, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. This sounds very full and I dig the overall timbres. Very captivating lyrics. Great work!

Such a sad emotional song. Lyrics were so well done. Loved the vocals. Both added so much lament to the song. As Peter said "Classy". Loved the way the song . Vocals were so clear. Well done....

I could well imagine both of you sharing the same vocal booth...looking into each other's eyes with a mixture of regret and hope. Bud's at the control booth, being all professional and stuff. You're singing the hopes of millions, whether their situation has been a lapse or long-term. Your voices blend and "fit" so well, one to the other.
And I come in to take out the garbage, listen a while and say, "Yep."
Hard to imagine a better song. Way to turn that title phrase into a love song.
