This is beyond a classic. It's mind blowing how good this tune is. It's such pure expression of love. And the production is spot on. The strings. That shuffling beat. Johnny's vocals. It's all just wow.

56 years ago, the love of my life passed and I love him to this day. His photos and memories keep me sane. I've tried to love others but it wasn't real because my heart is buried with him.

@keri caye Sad but someday you will join him in heaven
