Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
One of Ted Bluechel's best romantic efforts, very light, very positive,
with lots of rich harmony. Like "Requiem For The Masses", this song
underwent two complete productions before release on "Insight Out".

Than all the wealth and fame that fortune brings to me

We love us, she and I
