    My Father had Alzheimers and shortly before he died he wanted to hear this song, he sang the chorus to me and I remembered the album growing up. I found it on You Tube and sat beside his hospital bed and played it over and over. He sang it to me and it is a memory that I cannot find words to describe. When I sit and think of my Father I put this video on and listen to this beautiful song.

    What I love is that John Denver doesn't give in to the temptation of trying to battle with Placido. So many singers who duet with opera stars feel the need to blast out their part as if in competition with the power of the opera singer. John used his own pure sweet voice to good effect.

      I understand that John used the moment as inspiration to sing more naturally, than forcing his voice as it matured.
      I too used his advice to grow into my voice that can span the hollers

    I had an appointment today with a patient that has advanced Alzheimer's. I was talking to her significant other about various 60s folk/rock singers (even though I wasn't born until the 70s), and the patient started singing this tune out of nowhere. I hadn't heard this tune for a while and couldn't place it at first. She was in tune and got most of the words in what was a gorgeous middle finger flipped to the disease in her head. Music won for today.

    Perhaps love is like a resting place
    A shelter from the storm
    It exists to give you comfort
    It is there to keep you warm
    And in those times of trouble
    When you are most alone
    The memory of love will bring you home
    Perhaps love is like a window
    Perhaps an open door
    It invites you to come closer
    It wants to show you more
    And even if you lose yourself
    And don't know what to do
    The memory of love will see you through
    Oh, love to some is like a cloud
    To some as strong as steel
    For some a way of living
    For some a way to feel
    And some say love is holding on
    And some say letting go
    And some say love is everything
    And some say they don't know
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    Full of conflict, full of change
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Or thunder when it rains
    If I should live forever
    And all my dreams come true
    My memories of love will be of you
    John Denver

    Simply incomparable! I adopted a blind, feral senior cattle dog boy in early 2011, and he was so terrified of being near a human, being in a house (that he never saw, because he was blind) and having several health issues (glaucoma, broken teeth with still-living roots, a corneal infection, and several bb's inside from being shot at during his life as a feral dog). I never knew how old he was, but named him Good Boy and fixed his teeth and eyes and he blossomed into a wonderful dog and friend, perfect for visiting nursing homes. During our first month together, I played this song for him, over and over and over again, and it relaxed him in a way that nothing else could. God bless John and Placido for this gift!

    When I was a child, Placido Domingo and John Denver went to my city for a show. My family would
    never have enough money to buy me a ticket, so I waited one year for public TV to reproduce the show at 2 am. I convinced my mom to stay awake until the show. She stayed with me, and somehow, this song became "Our Song" from my mom and me. When I got married, she walked with me to the stand, and
    they played that song; she was very emotional and barely held the tears. One year after that, she went to live in heaven as the cancer was already taking its place in her entire body. She passed 55 days before my daughter was born... I can't express my feelings when I heard that song again, all memories that it brings to me

      That is because Placido knows that John has made a smash-hit and it is going to make him rich. So of course he is thankful that it was him he picked to be there right next to him.

    Perhaps love is like a resting place
    A shelter from the storm
    It exists to give you comfort
    It is there to keep you warm
    And in those times of trouble
    When you are most alone
    The memory of love will bring you home
    Perhaps love is like a window
    Perhaps an open door
    It invites you to come closer
    It wants to show you more
    And even if you lose yourself
    And don't know what to do
    The memory of love will see you through
    Oh, love to some is like a cloud
    To some as strong as steel
    For some a way of living
    For some a way to feel
    And some say love is holding on
    And some say letting go
    And some say love is everything
    And some say they don't know
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    Full of conflict, full of change
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Or thunder when it rains
    If I should live forever
    And all my dreams come true
    My memories of love will be of you

      I loved Placido Domingo. Saw him @ LA OPERA in some of his favorite roles. Though not a fan of Denver, this duet is outstanding. They blend their voice, not competing but enhancing each voice. The lyrics demand perfect harmony because love is an extravagant feeling that only The Love of God can give us.

    ...The first time I heard this song, it was tear time. (Almost a flood of tears, which could've drowned the class.)
