Once again, let's play NAME THAT 70s OR 80s ROCK/POP SONG LYRIC!!!
Fire up your music synapses!

Someone will post a line or two from a fairly well-known pop or rock song from the 70s or 80s. Don't make it too easy. Then everyone else will try to GUESS the song and artist.

Here are the rules:

1) When guessing, NO GOOGLING. If you don't know it, move on.

2) When posting a lyric, Googling is encouraged--make sure you have the right lyrics.

3) To make it more entertaining, post a YouTube or other URL link so people can hear the song if they like. You can do this if you guess it correctly, or if you are confirming that someone guessed your lyrics correctly.

4) Have fun!

26. An old friend of mine ( casual friend, not a close buddy or anything) played guitar with him
for years, but I'm not sure he was recording with him at that point; I think its probably not him; maybe there's somewhere I can look that up ( BTW, Tim also did the guitar riff on Michael Jackson's Black or White)

I believe that the Everly Bros originally recorded the song- no idea who wrote it. Perhaps the first power ballad for better or worse.
