| Unbelieveably beautiful. Even after all the years that have passed, this song still hits the spot. And for all of us that are thinking, "Man, I'm getting old!", Art is 71 years old as of today — I looked it up. |

| Holy hippy haze! |
| absolutely beautiful classic... |
| Wow. The best male vocal I've ever heard. |

| One of the greatest vocalists that I have heard in my lifetime, and likely other's lifetimes as well |
| What a dream I had
dressed in organdy
clothed in crinoline
of smoky burgundy
softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets down
past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
dripping down the alley ways
as I walked on
and when you ran to me
your cheeks flushed with the night
we walked on frosted fields
of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
and when I awoke
and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
with my grateful tears
oh, I love you
oh, I love you
Sweet!

| I am so going to Garfunklepalooza this year! |
