Say you, Say me

This is a song from Lionel Richie. In my personal opinion, he is a great singer though he is neither handsome nor good at broadcasting himself. But he gets his reason to be great, and this song is quite an example.

I first listened to this song is during my high school life. I just learned a bit English at that time, and English songs could aid our study efficiently at least in the teacher's point. So we borrowed or bought, I can't remember, a English white-golden disc. I can't say I love this song more than the others, in fact, it's not that fascinating for me, maybe I couldn't understand what it means at that time.

As time goes by, I am growing up gradually and turn to know some stuff. I gets to know what Richie tries to express by this song, and understand the real friendship doesn't come easy. This is a plain song with greatness in.

The lyric:

Say you, say me; say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me; say it together
Naturally

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out

Say you, say me

As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand
Some one who understands
That when you feel you've lost your way
You've got some one there to say "I'll show you"

So you think you know the answers, Oh no
'Couse the whole world has got you dancing
That's right, I'm telling you
It's time to start believing - Oh yes
Believing who you are: You are a shining star

Say it together, naturally.
