Is “Babe” a “name song”? I’m gonna post the lyrics anyway!
Babe, I’m leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I’ll be lonely without you
And I’ll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
‘Cause I’ll be missing you
‘Cause you know it’s you babe
Whenever I get weary and I’ve had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it’s you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it’s true, babe, I love you
You know it’s you babe
Whenever I get weary and I’ve had enough
I feel like giving up
You know it’s you babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it’s true, babe, I love you
Babe, I’m leaving, I’ll say it once again
Somehow try to smile
‘Cause I know the feelings we’re trying to forget
If only for a while
‘Cause I’ll be lonely without you
And I’ll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
‘Cause I’ll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe

Not many rockers have been able to keep / maintain a good marriage through the years - DeYoung and his wife have, and the song shows it. :-)
