Help me ID this song!

What's the name of this possibly 1970s adult contemporary FM radio hit?

This song's refrain popped into my head last night, God knows why, and it's but one cheesy lyric I can remember:

And ooooooooooh, I love you.

The artist puts me in mind of Elton John but I'm pretty sure it's not him. Given that, I think the artist could be a one-hit wonder.

Toward the end of the song that refrain is sung again except the oooh is drawn out twice as long. It's a piece of cheese, surely, but I can't stop singing it and my wife wants to slap me. Help!

Glad to be of help. Mr. Adams loves this song as well, which is how I recognized it so quickly.

Just for what it's worth, it's actually a 1981 hit. It was on the charts from February to September 1981, and peaked at #12 on the Billboard 100 on June 20, 1981. </kasey>
