When I was a student, I used to listen to a local radio station that played music from the 60s and early 70s and I used to hear this song all the time. But since that station changed formats, I hardly hear it anymore. It is so incredibly moving. Thanks for posting.

Classic 1960s Summer Song *****+

[bakokiwi]

I remember needing counseling and hearing this song brought me back to reality

[llanto75]

[captainsoul1953]

The beautiful lyrics of Bob Lind....one of those rare songs where it doesnt rhyme...a stream of concious lyrics

[tallulah1961]

This is one of my favorite oldies

[landof101dreams]

[bsw421]

This song always makes me cry! But in a good way. I love it.

[Roy701]

[philburrell]

[mongoose3002]

Lovely! Should be played more often. Your slide show of butterflies is beautiful. I'm a butterfly lover.

Thanks for sharing!

[ThenItsLove]

i love this beautiful song..its like a lonely heart is searching for an old love but not wanting him to see her in pain-i'll always luv you A.

[Herman47]

Excellent butterfly (flutterby) photographs and fine song!

[davpier59]

BOB LIND is a super fine singer. Check out his website...there are MANY fine newer songs there you will love...Also, Jane Morgan sang this song in English AND in French...probably the only singer to sing it in a foreign language.

[binkle1]

One of my personal "Top 100." You know, for a while I thought this was Bobby Goldsboro under his birth name! The imagery is strong in this work of art.

Hauntingly beautiful.

I love this song, reminds me of my ex-fiance who passed in 2004

[dowop4]

Yes, the same group. Bob Lind was in the group. But I'm not sure if Bob Lind is singing lead. But I can find out if you would like.

[zaaritha]

Thanks!

[zaaritha]

Who´s singing in this version?

It´s good!

[inneedoftherapie]

Bob Lind

[dowop4]

It's the original that came out in 1966. By Bob Lindm On World Pacific Records. Also listen to the "Cascades". He was in the group in the early 60's

[zaaritha]

Do you mean The Cascades with "Rhythm of the rain"?
