This used to be common to the point of triteness, like having 1Corinthians 13 (mis)read at your wedding. Tracy and I sang it in two parts and were asked for it occasionally.
One doesn't often hear it anymore. Overuse, perhaps, or too strong an association with a particular era. I love the guitar tuning and work; love the lyrics; love the melody and his voice.

Love it! It does, of course scream "1970-85," but it's a great representative of that era.

Yep, we had it at our wedding, too. Still like it and it always evokes positive memories. Thanks for posting.
