    Lyrics:
    Ooh, short and sweet
    No sense in draggin' on past our needs
    Let's don't keep it hangin' on
    If the fire's out, we should both be gone
    Some people are made for each other
    Some people are made for another for life, how 'bout us?
    Some people can hold it together
    Last through all kinds of weather, tell me, can we?

    I'm 43 years old. I've been with my wife 28 years, we have 8 great kids. Three boys and five girls. From 6 to 25 years old. I've listened to these songs for ever. It brings tears to my eyes when my kids pull in the driveway playing this kinda of music knowing I brought them up listening to great music. Love my family.

    My husband who has sadly passed away in January this year use to play this song when we were teenagers aged 16 and 17 in the 80's. " Some people are made for each other,, how about us" And we've made it for 34 years until he passed on this year. This song will be forever embedded in my memories of him.

      CONGRATULATIONS both, one in heaven waiting for you friend. Well done. That takes real LOVE and it is so much a matter of giving isn’t it. I feel like you about the song, no one has written a song exactly )of course not!) as beautiful as this. Every song has its own beauty and that’s why I do not compare it as the decades have passed the style of songwriting has changed. So many I love yet ‘How bout Us’ really is fixed in my heart. So happy you wrote this note because it matters, especially to me. I had a bad accident so even though I am a musician my life is much more involved with listening to music now, still wonderful. I am so appreciative of your notices and info about what this means to you. Thank you x💕

      The origins of Champaign can be traced back to a group called The Water Brothers Band. Their lineup comprised Dana Walden on keyboards and vocals, Howard "Leon" Reeder on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, Keith Harden on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, Scott Karlstrom on bass, and Bobby Carlin on drums.[3][4] They recorded a single, "Have You Ever Been Lonely?" backed with "How 'Bout Us" that was released on Sky Records NR6668. The single did not chart.[5][6] Members Walden, Reeder and Day would eventually become part of Champaign.[3][4
