It was the fastest song I wrote, in barely 20 minutes. And this was the time when there was no Skype and Social networking so I had to ship the track to her. The song was very personal and was not intended to go public. But my friends pursued me to record it."

Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting
Marx wrote this song on the road as a love letter to his wife, actress
Cynthia Rhodes. In a 2010 interview, Marx told the Indian newspaper The Indian Express
the story behind the song: "I wrote the song for my wife Cynthia who
was in South Africa shooting for a film. We were not married then and I
wanted to meet her because I had not seen her for a few months. But my
visa application was rejected and when I came back I wrote this song
which was more of a letter from me to her.
It was the fastest song I wrote, in barely 20 minutes. And this was the time when there was no Skype and Social networking so I had to ship the track to her. The song was very personal and was not intended to go public. But my friends pursued me to record it."
