I lose it every time I hear it. I played it w/o earbuds in the back of a cab one night, and when it was over, I saw the driver was crying as he said, "What a beautiful song".

A dear friend knew she was dying several years back, and I played her the song and asked if it would be appropriate for her memorial service. She thought about it a few minutes and said, "Absolutely". A beautiful Broadway actress recorded it for my friend to leave to her daughter after she passed. That same actress came to the service and sang it live. Last Saturday, the daughter got married, and the opening song at the pre-cermony was the recording she had cherished since her mother's death.

Lots of weeping ensued.
