Subject: Most Moving Love Song - folk or non-folk
For me, it's got to be Bruce's

'When I Cannot Sleep At Night'

The touching emotion inside that song moves me so deeply, every time I hear it.

"...When the words get in the way
And my soul feels all undone
When I don't know what to say
Not to God or anyone
I turn my head up to the sky
And stare at outer space
It's then I'd trade the Universe
Just to touch your face
When the words get in the way..."
