My dad used to play this song every day when I was a little girl...it was his favorite song to sing and I loved it when he would because I could tell it made him really happy. I recently found out that this too was my mom's favorite song...it was their song. I didn't know this because my mom died when I was 3. I realized now that my dad loved it so much because it reminded him of her. Sadly, my dad also ended up passing away when I was 11 and I now listen to this song to remind me of him...


To anyone who read to the end of this, cherish the ones you love. You never know when your last moment together will be

My late husband would always put this song on and ask me to dance, he wasn't much of a romantic he knew I love this song, we dance to this song the day before he died of a massive heart attack so it makes me very emotional when I hear this beautiful song!! RIP Raymond 😇❤️
