I'm talking about this love
This love will take us
To the top of every mountain, yeah

Straight in to heaven, yeah

And there's no denying, I feel merry
Good and high as the sky

THE TRUTH EMBASSY.
I grooved with this song with a lady that I was so much in love with named Funke.
I figured that she dumped me for the fact that I was a poor lad at the time. Over four decades later, I still remember her and tear up just a little bit whenever this song is played and I bet she smiles whenever she hears this song too. Thank goodness that no condition remains permanent.
Thank you Barry and continue to rest in power.
