I heard a song on the radio yesterday that is perfect for Brian and Justin and I wanted to share it with you all. Except now I can't remember the name. It's an older song, from the late 70s, early 80s and sounds like Boston/Foreigner/Journey (REO SPeedwagon, Chicago, Air Supply, etc. I've even looked up various love song compilations and still can't find it. Woe). It's about a man leaving his lover on a train to try for success but he gets his courage and strength from his lover. He also wants to be a success for his lover. They are still in love and I don't think the separation will permanent. Totally post-513 Brian and Justin, right? It would be great inspiration for graphics, if only I could remember the name!! It's a song you've probably heard and know the lyrics to. I sang along while the song was on the radio, but since coming home, I haven't been able to remember a long-enough phrase to Google successfully (apparently "I love you" and "leaving on a train" are too common, lol). Does this sounds familiar to anyone?

I found it, I found it, I found it! Perseverance rocks!


Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears

But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you

'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you

You know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you

Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
'Cause I know the feelings we're trying to forget
If only for a while

'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you

Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe

OMG, this made me laugh and laugh. But honestly, I am really sorry to be driving you crazy. It is making me crazy too! I looked up 6 or 7 bands, dozens of variations of phrases. I can't get the tune in my head to sing it to know what to google, besides a few words. I mean, how many love songs can possibly have the word "train" in it? Apparently a lot! Booo. Don't go crazy for real, we'd all miss you!

I found it! It's Styx's "Babe:"

Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way

The love, the need, your tears

But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you

'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe, I love you

Since I looked over Journey and Foreigner's song list three times each, I am just glad it turned out to be a different band. I can't wrap my mind around "Mr Roboto" and "Babe" is by the same band.
