Jean-Michel Byron is a South African-born funk and rockvocalist. The singer-songwriter is best known for serving for a time as the lead vocalist for the Los Angeles-based progressive rock band Toto for new material on their first greatest hits album, Past to Present, as well as the band's Greatest Hits Live...and More project. Byron was the fourth frontman in the band's history, replacing Joseph Williams after Williams had suffered from voice issues due to intense touring, and the South African singer was pushed heavily by the group's record label. The line-up change divided Toto's band-members, yet key group member Jeff Porcaro expressed support at first. His tenure with the band ended up being both brief and highly controversial with fans. In more recent years, Byron has collaborated with the jazz fusion group Michael Sanders & the One Tribe Nation.

Lyrics:
Paint me a picture of two lovers,
show me the lovers torn apart
You made me fall in love with you,
the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped,
and so did our love
I tried to put the pieces together,
and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute
who holds on for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you
I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
just let me love you
When I see your face,
my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love
