Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Power Of You And Me Lyrics

Richard Marx

Everybody's talking, the world is goin' round
Rumors are flying all over the town
How could a stranger know what's still a
mystery to me

I don't know what to call it
I don't know what it is
I only know for certain I've never felt like this
And, baby, it's the one thing I can believe

There's nothing I fear in this life
Long as I've got you by my side

Chorus
We're mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything I've ever known
One look at us together anybody could see
There ain't nothin' that can stand up to
The power of you and me

We're only good together, no good on our own
Everything about you feels just like home
Before you I don't remember how I got along

You are the spark to my flame
The only one that burns in your name

Chorus

So many souls searching for
What we're holding right in our hands
You're the woman that makes me a better man

Chorus
