while driving home last night, i had the radio tuned to 89.9.  "dance me until the end of love," played on the radio, soft and sweet.  my heart stopped.  i had never heard it before.  actually, listening to the song... i believe i stopped breathing for a minute.  i grabbed an ink pen, waited for the song to end and scribbled the song title and cheeky duo, THE CIVIL WARS onto the palm of my hand.
when i came home... i didn't walk, i ran to my laptop and googled THIS.  clearly, it is one of the most beautiful love songs i have ever heard in my life.  please take a minute an listen.  google the lyrics, if you need to.  read them.  they are indeed, profound.  I believe it was Leonard Cohen, who originally sang this gem and who deserves a huge hat tip, as well.  Listen and watch this beauty, HERE.

Thanks for the heads up !!!

Loved this song. So reminded me of your mom and dad, just once in a life time, and how wonderful they had this.

I love Leonard Cohen. He's written several other songs that I enjoy.
