There are a lot of songs about missing an ex-wife, but this one has some very heartfelt lyrics. It was Ambrosia's first major hit, although it's not typical of their sound. >>

Dane from Lima,ohio, FlMy favorite Ambrosia song,by far.I love the words,the music,everything."If I'd only known I'd need you..."
Charles from Charlotte, NcThe four members of Ambrosia all played on Alan Parson Project's first LP 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination' in 1976.
Barry from Greenville, NcGreat song and a find example of the multi-instrumental talent of this group. The violin underscores the sense of loss and longing.
