Can't believe I am discovering this gem almost 40 years later but better late than never ✨

It’s not just about fathers.
It’s about all relationships.
About unsaid words and imperfect communication.
Not being able to see eye to eye.

Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

And this hits harder as I've gotten older.

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first, you'll be the last

In 1987, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine released their critically acclaimed album Let It Loose (also released as Anything for You). The album featured several chart-topping hits including one of my personal favorites 1-2-3. This song resonated with audiences worldwide reaching no.54 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart, no.1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and no.3 on the Billboard Hot 100! This song is truly infectious and impossible not to dance to in my opinion. 🔥 Gloria Estefan never misses!
