@aknowneemus Good one. But, try this. If all songs are sent into the mind from God in expressions of love, He WROTE IT on Johnny Mercer's Heart.
Shalom.

I would love to hear Barry Manilow, just him and a piano, playing somewhere in a lounge as I had dinner with my wife. In an otherwise empty room.

if god has an Ipod, this one is on it.
The lyrics were from a poem by Johnny Mercer. Mercer's wife found them while cleaning out his things, following his death. She had a sudden inspiration to give the poem to Barry Manilow. He said it took him all of 15 minutes to write the tune.
Manilow believes there was a spiritual underlying this song. In any event, it is a beauty from one of the greatest jazz albums of the 1980s, 2:00AM - Paradise Cafe.
