The best version of this song by far, in my opinion, and it's been sung by 40 or 50 people over the years. Carole King & Gerry Goffin wrote some lovely tunes and beautiful lyrics. "I want to be your lover, but your friend is all I stay. I'm only halfway to paradise, so near, yet so far away..."
Ben had a fantastic voice and the little nuances he puts into this song are lovely.
I looooove this song... I remeber hearing it for the first time when I was 13,,, My mother had the song stuck on repeat on her Ben e King CD... It definitley ignited something...:)
