One of his most beautiful songs. I haven't heard this song for well over 40 years, but parts of it have never left my memory. Finally, today, I decided to look the damn thing up, wasn't sure of the title (but close) and finally heard it. Took me right back to jr. high, and the poignant despair I felt when hearing this master's lyrics. I don't think there's ever been a songwriter like Paul Simon. Glad I was alive to hear him.

Heavenly....no words to describe it....when we run out of words, there's music......Of course, Paul Simon wrote this in the USA after he had visited England and met and became Kathy Chitty's boyfriend, then went home and missed her across the Atlantic..................

In their concert in Central Park (?) Art tLks about this song, that when they were 22, they lived in London and played in the streets for change. Kathy was a friend that collected the money in a sailor cap. She was 'pretty'. Art dedicated this song to his wife Kathy at this concert.

Thank You, you are very kind to take the time and to have the courage to say so. . “I'd rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” ― H.C. Paye . Never give up Hope of finding your way to a perfect love for you. . "Hope is the dream of a waking man." Aristotle . Hope is the lifeline we all cling to everyday. It’s Hope that gets us out of bed in the morning. It’s Hope which buys that lottery ticket. Hope is the last thing we will let go of before we die from this, our glimmer of light against the dark of the eternal night... All love born within us is set ablaze by a single spark of hope! With each day we are reborn to new opportunity for spiritual growth in a timeless wisdom. Don't let bitterness paint you into a prison. Stay Strong, Will
