This is the one that did it for me. For decades I followed McKuen, seeing concerts, buying records and books. I thought that was all there was; I thought I knew this renaissance man who reached into parts of me I hadn't found myself. Along the way we heard the critics who thought he was too sentimental, and maybe we agreed because his gentle longing felt like a guilty pleasure. But this song, more than any of the romantic songs of the past, got inside of the lover, got inside of me, and spoke the same words I had felt and lived. I had been this lover since I was about 10 seeking to understand myself and the world. We all are this lover.

This is one of my very favorite songs...and video's. It "hooked" me on Rod as a teenager. The last lines are so moving....
Lovely, just lovely. Thank you.
