@SeattlePogo ....then if he doesn't dance....tell him "honey...let's just sway together....anyone can do that..." and tell him to be NOT afraid of the emotions that come out of him.......EnTouch
Here in UK we had a really good (for a change) reality TV program. Where a bloke had had some problems in his marriage, and had to learn this song! He then had to get his wife to a Restaurant and on queue get up and sing this song to her, it was good as his main problem was remembering the words!!! Well as you may have guessed happiness reigned supreme.
I just love the arrangement to this, especially the piano. It makes Rod Stewart's version seem so amateurish. This song is truly the mark of a master of his craft.
I love this song! Once I sang this song alone now I have a 1 year old granddaughter I am dancing with,........ And I am not old enjoy today remember this is no dress rehearsal! tomorrow is not promised to any one Peace !
THIS IS HOW I FEEL HAVE I TOLD U LATELY ...... SING IT FOR GOD.... MY VOW.... WAS TO BRING HIM....HIS GOOD CHILDREN..... HYPTNOTIZE CENSOR...SLOWLY.... LIKE AN AGED WINE A LOVELY LADY A WARM EMBRACE WE OWN IT LETS WORK OUR MAGIC WE ARE THE WORLD WE ARE HIS CHILDREN WE ARE THE CHOOSEN ONES HIS WILL HIS GAME GOT ME TOO... PURE HEARTS MAY DRINK AND SMOKE.. WE ARE / WALKING THE WALK .../ ON SO MANY PLATFORMS THRU MUSIC AND ARTS....THAT'S WHY...IM TRYING TO BE SILLY ... SO EVERY AGE MAY RELATE. AMEN
Dear LuvNickelback09: What a simply beautiful and touching memory to your Grandad! With deep gratitude, I thank you for sharing, from the bottom of my heart..
You know, I have ALWAYS felt a connection to the lyrics of this song, but I never realized that it was a Van Morrison creation. Van Morrison, what a treasure!
This was the song my husband said always made him think of me when we first got married. We've been married 27 yrs now and this song is still my song from him. ♥
Nobody phrases a lyric the way Van does. I don't know why Rod Stewart chooses to embarass himself with his cheesey cover, or why so many idiots can't seem to tell the difference.
Wow, bro, that sucks! Whose computer did you have to use to make this video? Are you, like, some kinda extreme monk? Or is this a statement about American debt...?
This song reminds me of my dear long time friend Jerry Trahrey..........If you are out there you are in my thoughts...........It was your favorite.................Been a long, long time......
My Nana was in the Van Morrison video for this song. It was partly shot at Seapark in Holywood Co. Down Northern Ireland. If anyone can turn up a copy I would be greatful
its my boyfriends birthday i love this song to bits...yet he keeps comparing this to toilet music (the music u hear playing while taking a pee in posh places........like public toilets....) hes a dick ....

SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
That's brilliant man, I've been looking for the original version for ages. There used to be a few Van Morrison versions on Youtube, but most of them have been taken off. Thanks so much!!
Beautiful. This song reminds me of my grandparents. I can remember my Grandad dragging my Grandma up to dance to this and her calling him a dope but going up anyway. How cheesy am i! ha.
@DaddyTre65 do you do realise who he is singing to ? "We Should Give Thanks And Pray To The ONE" Note, WE, not 'me' 'I', not anything in the first person.
@rafhenlow ... I believe Mr. Morrison is singing about a special love two PEOPLE share. That's why he sings: "There's a love that's DIVINE / and it's yours and it's mine..." Mr. Morrison knows that the very best love a couple can share is one that is blessed by GOD! That's why he also sings: "We should give thanks and pray to the ONE". P.S. >> On the Avalon Sunset CD, Mr. Morrison openly acknowledges the importance of God in his life. :)
@DaddyTre65 "It's yours & mine". That would be the LOVE that is Divine, ie the love of God. That is how I read it. Only God can do everything mentioned in the song. I love my wife with a love I have never known possible, BUT, some stuff in my life I have to be left alone to deal with, as Tom T. would say, "Me & Jesus." Again, my outlook. God bless.
Fantastic love song. Can anyone not like it?
