I'm a 57 year old boomer who has been in love three times. In high school I loved Carmen, in college I loved Lisa and in 1980 I met my wife Pat. I listened to this posting three times before I really listened to the words. These words reveal exactly how I felt for these ladies when I Cherished them. Thank you my loves for bringing out these feelings in me. I Cherish my life with my wife Pat today! Thank you for posting this beautiful song.

EVERYTHING about this song is absolutely AWESOME ... the instruments, vocal harmonies, lyrics. .....Although it is true that most old song are wonderful and far superior --- but, EVEN THEN, this song is truly a cut above the rest of them all.

I WILL CHERISH IT FOREVER , indeed.... Thanks for the upload.

@DrJennyGyn Thank you for the comment !

One of a kind harmony deserves to be "cherished" foever.

When you think about listening to deep & solid harmonies,you have to look at these guys & the stuff they did. This particular gem is not only vocally challenging, but the chord arrangements(especially that bridge), are unbelievably outstanding. I'm a (59 y/o) baby-boomer who still gets blown away thinking about the great stuff that came out of the 60's & really shaped so much of the music that came after(even if some folks won't admit it). Long live the 60s.

[RadioCarino]

@jbyesterday Completely agree..... long live the 60's the best decade for cars and music in the 20th century.

I was watching one of Time Life programs about classic love songs and I remembered this song. It was the song that was playing when I had my first date and dance with a girl from junior high. It brings back such strong memories of my youth. Thank you for the post.

you don't know how many times I heard this on AM radio

It's been 42 years since I passed notes to Laurie in Mrs. Maynard's fifth grade class. I guess you never forget your first. Initially viewed as a curse and a blessing wrapped up in one transitioning into just a long term memory with age. An item to be rolled around in the mind like a piece of hard candy, when one is desiring something sweet.
