My husband dedicated this song to me at our wedding. It wasn't until recently, after watching our wedding video ( I had it converted from VHS to DVD) , I really listened to the words. My husband and I were married in 1997 and he passed away in 2021. And the words to this song are so emotional for me. Thank you so much for this song. Every time I listen to this song, it brings tears to my eyes because I miss my husband so much, but it is so touching that he felt this way about me. He was a wonderful man. At our wedding, I don't think I truly took in all the words and what they meant, but I am so grateful to have this song to listen to whenever I want to feel my husband just a little bit more. Thank you so much for that.

2024 Who's still here listening?

2023 and still listening. These songs are evergreen... Nothing can beat them!!!

The world's gone crazy, never will there be 80,90 music again.

Richard Marx and Bryan Adams were the kings of pop rock and power ballads in the 80s and 90s!

Whenever I'm weary From the battles that rage in my head You make sense of madness When my sanity hangs by a thread I lose my way but still you seem to understand Now and forever I will be your man Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see I'm holding a fortune That heaven has given to me I'll try to show you each and every way I can Now and forever I will be your man Now I can rest my worries and always be sure That I won't be alone anymore If I'd only known you were there all the time All this time Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand Now and forever I will be your man Now and forever I will be your man

If you listen in 2024, You're a legend.

We just lost my dad today. My parents were married 25 years. This was their wedding song. Listening to this made me realize how much parents truly loved each. Thank you for making this beautiful song and tribute to my parents.

We played this song at our Wedding in 1998 and the song has held true through the years...I married a truly wonderful man ❤️ Thanks for the song Richard Marx...it has touched our lives and kept us moving forward together. It will be 23 years May 30 2021.

2019 and I'm still here... listening to this beautiful song

Sent this to my lady today to let her know how much I love her. She works in a hospital and has some stressful days. She sent me a message back saying this song made her cry. This guy has an amazing voice. Loved his music for years. Top man thank you for sharing.

리차드막스님 언제들어도 명곡입니다 사랑합니다

One of my favorite song sung by Richard Marx.. You are truly a legend. It really touches my heart. September 2020, anyone ?

The amount of talent this man has.

This song came out when my son was born and I used to hold him in my arms and dance to this song. It has so much meaning for me, I even quoted it in his high school yearbook. We will dance to this song at his wedding and I will cry renembering those dances with him as an infant. Such a beautiful ballad.

I really find it hard to believe that someone, a human being at that, can actually dislike this song! What a weird, weird world we are living in!

I'm 16 and I love songs like this. Yes we exist😀

Ladies. This is real music. Straight from the heart.

Everybody listening??😊😊😊

This is the song that caused me to start to learn guitar when I was 14. Well Im 42 now and still playing guitar

This song was the one I walked down on my wedding day. On January 30,2021, I found out my husband had Cancer of the blood. I lost him on Mar 3, 2021. I cry every time I play this. My late husband thought this song was exactly how he felt about me. Thanks for writing beautiful music.

2024 who's listening?

This song so criminally underrated 😢

One things for sure, no one can sing a soft ballad like my man Richard marxs.. 🥺❤️

I will travel anywhere to see Richard Marx in concert . Let us know so we can see him in concert. He has a beautiful voice, and writes the best songs

I love this song cover by me by winning the contest 1996❤❤

Richard sang this at our wedding over 20 years ago .... thanks Ricardo!! :)

Why can't we have love ballads like this gem anymore ???

It's almost unfair how beautiful this song is. 3 minutes and 31 secs of heartbreaking, heartwarming beauty.

A classic and simple declaration of pure and undying love from a man to his woman.

Abis baca dear j lgsg nyari lagu ini dan liriknya nyentuh bgt😢😭

Met my love 12-31-77. It lasted 40 years until they passed last year. We were so lucky. I'm so lost without them. I will always be their man. Now and forever.....

One of the most beautiful songs ever IMO. It hits me right in the feels and makes me cry everytime I hear it.

Musicians making art! What a beautiful song!

My husband just sent me this song. Makes me love him even more. This song will never get old.

Yang nyari lagu ini gegara wattpad "Dear J" mari merapat:')

Love your music every day and night reminds me of my husband and me 49 years. September 27. 2024❤

A most beautiful, deep and profound song, excellently sung by Mr. Richard Marx

This is the most favorite song of my late husband. I lost him in 2021. He always plays this in his cellphone. We got married in 1999. He said this song is for me. I love you Dad. You are my forever too. I know time will come we will be together in Heaven & we will never be separated again.

My cousin and me, we used to listen to this song when this came out. We had this on a cassette tape and played it over and over again until it got unplayable. We used to dream big and both him and me did have a stint at singing professionally. Back then there was innocence, hope and a sense of invincibility we both took for granted. We planned our future, marked our future achievements and laughed so hard that we forgot time exists. Evenings of riding around in the city, visiting friends, singing....just joy. Then time led to time and things led onto things and we started our own lives. It wasnt until he died all of a sudden that I realized how much I miss him. How much I wish we hadnt drifted apart. This song reminds me of when I still had that chance to change my future. I wish I did. I wish he was still here.

This man is one of the best singer, song writer's I have ever heard in my life! Music that has the ability to touch your soul is very rare these days... I must say to evole tears to ones eyes, to have that power through musuc! Confirms you are truly gifted Richard Marx!!!

This is like the most beautiful song for a wedding. I know I'm crying my eyes out Everytime I hear it.

Who is still enjoying this song in quarantine? : me actually

Richard Marx is awesome. Has an incredible voice. Started listening to him in the 80s n still today sound so incredibly amazing. Such a great talent n God given voice. God bless Richard Marx

Que linda musica. Eu amo as musicas de Richard marx românticas. Traz paz no coração. Que voz maravilhosa. Ele e lindoooo❤

I am Listening this 2024 ....my most favourite from 90s. Who's else here ?

Who's here after Haein posted it in his intagram account??? 🙋🙋🙋🙋 Why does the lyrics speaks for SooHo himself?!!! And also, is this Jung Hae In sending a message to our Main Girl Kim JiSoo? 💜 Hope its real 💜 "Now and forever, I will be your man" 🎶🎶🎶 Reminding myself this is just a song! But... My HaeSoo heart!! 💜💜💜💜

One of my absolute favorite songs from my childhood ❤️ Such beautiful lyrics and melody.

Soy de la generación de ahora pero reconozco que la música de antes sí era música de verdad, me gustan mucho las canciones de Richard Marx, en parte porque mis padres mi inculcaron esos gustos musicales pero a la vez es por el talento nato de cada cantante de esos tiempos, así como a mí espero que estas lindas canciones sigan esparciéndose en las nuevas generaciones y que sigan viviendo en los corazones de las personas.

❤ My husband dedicated this song to me the minute he heard it back in 1994, at that time we had already been married for 4 years. We are still together, married 34 years, together for 36, still as much in love as ever, and this is still his song to me. ❤

I can't explain why, but this beautiful masterpiece always makes me shed tears. Thank you mom and dad for having his music in our lives! And thank you Richard!

Who is listening this song in 2020???

LOVE Richard Marx songs. Bring back SO many memories x

I saw Richard Marx with my g/f which has been my wife going on 30 years. He came to the Oakdale theater in CT in the early 90s and Eddie Money opened for him. Got to meet both. They were both really nice. Eddie of course was more the wild one. Ahh the good old days

I agree. Music like this is not only timeless but beautiful. Why can't the world love and have an attitude towards love like this amazing man who is a faithful husband with 3 great grown boys who plays many instruments and sings with him! An amazing love song with words that could change the world if people believed in them. Will never stop listening to this amazing singer!!! Thanks for your beautiful music. Love you forever!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

SIAPA YG KE SINI GARA GARA DEAR J

I will never forget all his music. 13 years ago.

初めて聞いたのは子供の時、英語が分かりませんが、メロディーの美しさと優しく語るような歌い方に強く心惹かれたのを覚えています。 今でもたまに聞きたくなります。 美しい歌ですね。

Uma vontade de chorar, de rir, de fechar os olhos, um embrulho no estômago tantas sensações ao mesmo tempo. Como não se apaixonar por músicas tão lindas.

Primera vez, que escucho esta canción, habla del amor de un hombre, de lo más profundo de su ser. Solo el que alguna vez amó, lo debe de sentir en su corazón.

In Loving Memory R.I.P. Darling June 15,1950 - March 3,2021

the best song forever..92 i'm 19yrs old..😢

Such a beautifully written song and soft heart lyrical genius. Only one Richard Marx.* 👌👍❤

It's 2021 and still his songs are so great to hear.. So soothing nd evergreen ❤

What a song...MAGNIFICENT!What a voice...So sensual...Goes straight to the heart.And he is getting better,just like the old wine...Just listen to "Whatever we started".AMAZING!

Años 80- 90 ❣❣ y por siempre me encantará la voz y el estilo de este cantante

still listening to this in 2017,2018,2019,2020.............

2018 Richard Marx is still good looking and a great musician.

What a precious song! I had forgotten it! It makes me remind when I was a teen. Richard is divine! And what a good musicians too!!. Delicious guitars 🎸🎶🎵❤

One of the coolest love songs ever written.

This great musician is so, so underrated ! He's part of the soundtrack of any guy or girl from the late 80's and 90's !!

Tenía 17 años cuando empecé a escuchar su música, siempre pensé que no iba a convertirme en madre.. Hoy estoy escuchando este tema nuevamente con otros sentimientos encontrados, mirando, observando lo más bello que la vida me dió.Mi hijo la Luz de mis ojos de tan solo 7 añitos..♥️

3:20. The Most Heartwarming scene

The golden age of music ....damn those were the days where we find soul in music ..

Its 2019 and still never get old ❤️💙💚

we love richard marx ..from sri lanka

OMG....Finally I found this song....I listened to this song so many times when I was young...but I didn't know who is the singer or title. Just got here by lyrics...Such a lovely song ❤

This guy is amazing! They told Richard Marx that he would never make it in the music business. His reply was "I Won't Give Up Until I'm Satisfied!!! :)

His vocal is a pure gold! Even with acustic, this song beats many of the recent songs. Just love how the 90's and grateful grew in the era to witnessed the much meaningful worty songs like this one

I never cried but Richard Marx touches me and his voice and lyrics is madness

Perfect song for wedding ceremony ❤️

This song brings back so many memories of a more innocent time for me. Barely two when the 'Paid Vacation' album came out, it didn't have much of an impact on my life until a few years later. I remember the summer of 1997, my twin sister and I both five years old and traveling to Pensacola on our first family vacation ever. My mom put the 'Paid Vacation' CD in and put every occupant in the car's -mom, dad, older brother and his girlfriend (who would later be his wife), and my sister and I -favorite song on repeat: "Now and Forever." I felt like singing along and, having no idea what "madness" was, belted out: "You make sense of mayonnaise!" Hey, I was five! So, now and forever, "Now and Forever" remains immortalized in my family as the "Mayonnaise Song"... Silliness aside, this song is cherished for another reason as well in my family. My older brother's first dance with his wife was to this song two years after the mayonnaise debacle. They have been married now for over fifteen years, and there is no song in the world that strikes such a chord with its lyrics at what they have gone through. My brother has bipolar depression, and has been suffering with the condition for probably twenty years or more, along with severe obsessive compulsive disorder. He has spent so much of his time phasing between manic and depressive phases, but his wife (a true blessing from the Lord) has always remained at his side, "mak(ing) sense of madness when (his) sanity hangs by a thread." She has seen him go from almost committing suicide to being overjoyed that he has been blessed with two children he would die for in a heartbeat, children born from miracles because his wife has severe PCOS and was told she would never be able to have children because of it. Most couples in today's society would have parted years ago, but they both are "holding a fortune that Heaven has given to (them)." I wish music today had the magic of those from yesterday. This song is only two years younger than I am; it has stuck with me that long. There need to be more artists out there like Richard Marx who should make comebacks only to show people of this modern generation what musicality truly means. Thank you, Richard Marx, for bringing such a powerful song into the lives of my family. -vixenrevitup

*_ketika aq lelah dalam sendiri_* *_aq dengerin lagu ini_* *_seolah kau datang menemani_* *_berbaring di sisiku_* *_kasih..._* *_entah sampai kapan engkau pergi_* *_aq akan tetap menunggumu_* *_sekarang n selamanya_*

Can we just acknowledge this man is the TOTAL PACKAGE

"Now And Forever" Whenever I'm weary From the battles that raged in my head You made sense of madness When my sanity hangs by a thread I lose my way, but still you Seem to understand Now & Forever, I will be your man Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see I'm holding a fortune That Heaven has given to me I'll try to show you Each and every way I can Now & Forever, I will be your man Now I can rest my worries And always be sure That I won't be alone, anymore If I'd only known you were there All the time, All this time. Until the day the ocean Doesn't touch the sand Now & Forever I will be your man Now & Forever, I will be your man

Richard's for now and forever a great artist.❤

That song reminds me of my teenage era bring backs memories

I saw Richard Marx in concert in Medford Oregon in August of 1988. I had started to grow my hair long (like his) going into my senior year of high school and my hair was naturally curly (not sure why). By the time school started my hair was down to my shoulders. Before graduation my mom made me trim it back so it was off my shoulders (this was because my grandparents were attending).

I wont ever forget this song", all my life,, my 1st ever love song played in my plucking guitar.

Essa é uma das músicas mais lindas que eu já conheci, letra linda e melodia perfeita 😍

아...옛날이여. 정말 많이 들었던 추억의 노래입니다. 예전에는 추억의 팝송 등의 제목을 붙인 테이프가 많이 유통되었죠. 또한, 친구들끼리 공테이프에 좋은 노래를 녹음해서 선물로 주고받는 문화가 있었는데, 이 노래는 늘 빠지지 않았습니다. 이 노래 말고 "Right here waiting"이란 노래도 아주 유명했습니다. "whenever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you"라는 노랫말이 귓가에 들려오는 듯합니다. 아무래도 오랜만에 리처드 막스의 노래를 찾아서 들어봐야겠어요. 추억 돋는 명곡을 소개해 주셔서 고맙습니다~~~

Thank you Mr Richard Marx for the memories. Performed this song as a diploma student in 93-94. Now the context is Mother Mary. Thank you again.

2020 aí alguém. Melhor canção ❤🎶🎵

I would play this song and dance with my wife under the moon light ☺

Going to see Richard November 13 !!! Can’t wait always admired his lyrics/acoustic and voice.
