    I came back from Vietnam and my wife would sing this song to me at night when i woke up screaming. Memories are not always good.
    Been tough since she died. I miss her more than i can say. Goodnight baby.

    My mom died in 1966 when I was 8 years old. When this song would come on the radio I knew that it was from her. I'd listen to it every night before going to bed. That was her goodnight kiss.

      Sorry for your loss.. Moms are special. They suffer so much from birthing you, nurturing you, protecting you and worrying about you as you grow and learn, and it continues even as you grow into adulthood and become a mother yourself. You follow the same course by the examples she set for you. You become her. That's why you never truly lose her because she lives within you.

Of all the bands from that era that she loves, the Mamas and the Papas are my favorite. I could listen to those gorgeous harmonies all day.

    Michelle brings incredible innocence and sincerity in the intro, like a gently flowing stream. Then, all harmonies hit. The words and music open the floodgates. I could cry knowing such a powerful, beautiful musical era is long gone, never to return. Or maybe. In my novel, Soothing The Savage Beat, by E. Augustine, I describe a dystopian future where such beautiful, sensible music has long been forgotten, but may be revived in an attempt to restore sanity in a world gone mad. Music is the therapy we need. And we need both. Even today, but by tomorrow we'll be desperate for both.
