This next song was written by a fellow by the name of Graham Goble.
Now Graham wrote a lot of the big hits for the Little River Band.
Unfortunately, you know, he didn't write any when I was there.
No, he's a very fine songwriter.
He did, however, write me this song.
And I'm a lucky man.
I get to sing this beautiful song.
But this beautiful lady, her name is Danielle Gaha.
Would you make her very, very welcome, please?
