What's that beautiful instrumental love song from the late 80s/early 90s? It!
Question: I know that the song included a piano, violins, a brass section (French horns, perhaps?) and it featured a sax in the middle of the song and at the very end of the song. I've searched many Kenny G songs and still I can't find it so I don't think it's him. I know it's also NOT Hazel O'Connor's "Will You", David Sanborn, or Dave Steward & Candy Dulfer's "Lily Was Here." The song was very soft...no guitars or rock sounds at all. It's more orchestral/easy listening than it is soft jazz, except for the saxaphone parts. I haven't heard the song since I was about 9 or 10 (I was born in 1980) but I remember that it was played a lot on the easy listening radio stations my mom listend to. I think the piano and the saxophone actually mirror each other. The song opens up with the violins playing, then the piano comes in with the main melody. Later in the song the saxaphone plays the exact same tune as the piano, then the song closes with the sax playing a solo (different melody).

Maybe your thinking of the love theme to the movie St. Elmo's Fire, which came out in 1985 - David Foster wrote the theme, which was released as a single. It's a great movie theme, which has a saxophone playing in the second chorus. (Man in Motion was another single from that movie, sung by David Parr)
