It's not only one of the most beautiful love songs I've heard in my lifetime, it has an ending that truly takes my breath away every single time..... no matter how many times I hear it.

That sucks. I have a few love songs I try not to listen to because I listened to them after my dog died and I associate them with memories of her. I want to save them for when I think back to her, I loved her more than anything.
