      Mick said this song came to him at 3 am apparently from "a higher power". Just as Lou Gram was to begin recording the final cut for this song a beautiful woman appeared in the studio apparently out of nowhere. Lou said her presence was a great motivator for this final version of the song. Upon completion the beautiful woman was gone?!

It just means the group wants to move on. Change is inevitable. Let's just enjoy the wonderful music that we are witnessing here.

    This song was number 1 all over the world because the original lead vocalist Lou Gramms voice made it famous. Lou could bring tears to you eyes when he sang this song...Lou had soulful voice filled with so much emotion. This man is good but will never touch the famous voice of Lou Gramm. Lou could sing the house down and bring you to your knees.....His voice almost operatic in nature and he had a range and vocals that were unbelievable......when that choir sang with Lou you felt like you were in Church...After Lou went through brain surgery in 1997 to save his life and then was able to sing it again years later...It was emotional for Lou and anyone else listening.

      Your statement is true regarding how Lou felt about the song . It is not documented anywhere that the band broke up because of his feelings about the song. My statements concerned the successfulness of the song. Lou Graham had one of the best rock voices in Rock and Roll history. This ballad will stand the test of time. Here it is 2017 and there is proof of that as we are still listening to it today. Thank you for your comment. At the height of his career Lou could sing the phone book and it would become a hit. It is a blessing that his dislike of the song did not interfere with its success.

    I've gotta take a little time
    A little time to think things over
    I better read between the lines
    In case I need it when I'm older
    Now this mountain I must climb
    Feels like the world upon my shoulders
    But through the clouds I see love shine
    It keeps me warm as life grows colder
    In my life, there's been heartache and pain
    I don't know if I can face it again
    Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
    To change this lonely life
    I wanna know what love is
    I want you to show me
    I wanna feel what love is
    I know you can show me (Ooh)
    I'm gonna take a little time
    A little time to look around me
    I've got nowhere left to hide
    It looks like love has finally found me
    In my life, there's been heartache and pain
    I don't know if I can face it again
    I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
    To change this lonely life
    I wanna know what love is
    I want you to show me
    I wanna feel what love is
    I know you can show me
    I wanna know what love is
    I want you to show me
    (And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
    (And I know) I know you can show me
    Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is)
    Love that you feel inside (I want you to show me)
    And I'm feeling so much love (I wanna feel what love is)
    Oh no, you just cannot hide (I know you can show me)
    Ohh, I wanna know what love is
    (Let's talk about love) I know you can show me
    I wanna feel it (I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it, too
    And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
    (Hold me back if I'm wrong, yeah)
    I wanna know
    (I want you to show me)
    I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
    (I want to feel what love is) I wanna feel
    (I know you can show me)
