Subject: RE: Song Search: Friend of mine is going blind
I have had this song haunt me since I first heard it in the mid-70's, when FM radio was in transition to popular music. The lyrics made me cry when I first heard them, so long ago, and the song made a HUGE impression on me. Over the years, I have been able only to recall stray fragments of the words, and I had not heard the song itself in at least two and a half decades. Thank you all for sharing this song. It's nice to know that there were others besides myself, who were deeply moved by its words, and its message. God bless!
