I'm approaching 80 but the feelings and memories of those years easily return when I hear songs like this.

@Val NaufftsYours is a great truth and I think it is beyond explanation. True love never dies, though it can bring great sorrow as well as great joy. What trivia we encounter in our lifetimes. But true love, that seems without end.

I´m on my 30s and just knew this one and got very emotional on this at 2022, music is really a timeless thing

I was in high school when this song came out and it blew us all away. I can remember many slow dances to this beautiful song. I was soooooooo lucky to have experienced the 50’s. What an era for music and it’s gone with the wind!!!
