    John, he's been gone over 7 years now. I played this song today for him to hear it once more....I'm sure he's smiling. Thank you♥.

    This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Gorka's true greatest is reflected in lyrics and music like this!

    Thank you John. I've listened for years and years and years,...and thanks to wolfwinntx for uploading. Many years ago, when I first heard this, I presented it to my wife as a measure of my love to her. It still is.

    I cannot stop listening to this song. I can play the "simple chording" version on my guitar, but it doesn't quite do it justice, Kudos to John!!

    Thank you for this Posting. I have enjoyed John's songs for many years. He is the 'genuine article' Singer / Songwriter. Exemplary skilled use of language, each word chosen for purpose and precision, delivered with his natural rich, articulate voice.

    Big JG fan since the eighties His music is so beautiful and the lyrics of his love songs bring out such vulnerability he skillfully or perhaps instinctively uses humor afterward to balance it out Otherwise all of our hearts will be exposed and we can only take so much of that :.)

      Get his newest one jorge, just came out, sort of a lifetime retrospective with re-takes of some old songs.

    It's a shame John and so many other singer/songwriters don't get the credit they deserve...and so many untalented jerks in the industry are "Household Names"!!!!!

    One of the best love songs I've ever heard, especially being in a long-distance relationship. "I am here, you are there" and I love to play it at my gigs. Beautifully done John. Looking forward t seeing you at Stoughton OperaHouse next week!

    I am now learning the "easy chorded version" of this on my Martin Guitar. I just love the words and melody!!

    Saw him last night in Grass Valley, CA. Previous time was at the Bottom Line in NYC 28 years ago. He is in top form and his voice is as beautiful as ever. The only difference is he is much funnier now. The between-song patter was hilarious.
