My sister Becky's favourite song back then, always reminds me of her. The backstory to the song is good, how the police officer wrote the song about his current girlfriend who he would marry. You can see David Foster at the beginning of the video with the long hair, his wife DJ is singing back up on the record. RIP Donny Gerard who passed February 2022.

As I understand it the song was written by a police officer about his girlfriend who was a nurse for cancer or hospice patients. They were supposed to go out for dinner and she came home upset and crying needing having lost sever patients that day. Needing some time she laid down to rest and fell asleep. He watched her sleep and thought it best not to wake her but let her get a break from it all and dream away. And that inspired this song. Understand the story behind this song makes it that much more powerful.

I met my wife in 1973 and this is one of the songs that I associate with that wonderful time in my life. Also, this song employs a brilliant metaphor that made me and still makes me realize how delicately special she was.

From what I remember, a classmate of the lead singer had wrote this song as a poem and lead singer formed it into a song I could be way off, but I’m pretty sure I’m close that is awesome. What a mega hit for all your women out there you’re irreplaceable!!!!

In his PBS special (Hit Man) back a few years ago, David Foster had Blake Shelton cover this song and it was a sweet country version, but this original... it just hits in all the right places and is dreamy, melancholy, and romantic. This is a perfect song to me. ❤

Hi Angela, This ballad "Wildflower" by Skylark is a timeless classic that will never grow old!!! The next best cover of this song was done by a band called NEW BIRTH, which is also worthy of reacting to, as their build up, add-libs & harmonies raised this song to another level...and here is the Link to NEW BIRTH'S version of "Wildflower" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6tgo8WJqZutfHU.htmlsi=6BynkLaHq5lloK-Q

@crsounddoctor4937 11 ай бұрын
I'm not knocking Skylark's version at all because it was very good & done well, but I totally agree with you, that's why I said that New Birth's version with "their build up, add-libs & harmonies raised this song to another level." In other words, they upgraded this song, which makes it better!!! And I hope that Angela reacts to New Birth's version also!!! @@lavantwooten2581

1973. I was dating this brickhouse named Heather. I thought things were copacetic but then she laid a guilt trip on me, saying how I was a total spaz. But between LBJ dying, Roe v Wade and the peace agreement with North Vietnam I needed to take a chill a pill and watch the boob tube (“DY-NO-MITE”) Have a nice day.
