Beautifully tender love song brought to our attention by Roberta Flack. Elegant strings added by Russ Deane, and as usual, my talented guitarist son, Shannon Morris......my musical pillar. Inspiration? Life

About the song
It's been said that Evan Maccoll wrote this song for his first wife, and that he wrote it for Peggy Seeger, Pete's sister and taught it to her over the phone. One story is that Roberta Flack wrote it for her mother. The truth is, I wrote it last night......well, maybe not.
