I was absolutely in love with this song when it came out. I played it over and over. The words, the melody, the quality of tranquility that abounds in the song is beautiful to my ears. This song spoke to me in a very soulful, ethereal way. I had not heard it in years and, alas, again it is music to my ears! Thank you EVER SO MUCH FOR THIS POST.

@gva0917 You're welcome!! The song had the exact same effect on me...and I wore out my 45 as well! You stated this better than I ever could :)

@bze2nlz4 Thanks for letting me know. You read all kinds of stuff in Youtube comments, but this sounded genuine- and very disturbing. On a very different note, thank you for this wonderful channel of yours. I just discovered it, after listening to the Left Banke song you've posted here.  A very Happy New Year.

@written12 'Memmies' closed their acct. Hopefully this person is ok....

@memmies I hope you're okay. I can't imagine what pain you've felt, but please get some help. Your mother would want it. Even we here who don't know you- but share your love of this song- hope you find a way to go on.
