anyone who's familiar with this song? this is already an old song and i come to like it since the first time i hear it...i guess its way back in my highschool years. its just that i don't hear it much these days unless when it is played during sunday classic songs. this is something that really gives me some joy while listening to it, i love the story of the song and its lyrics as well and of course the way they sang it.
for those who's not familiar with it here's where you can hear it...

I like the melody of the song, as well as the voices in it.. haha =D HIs deep voice goes so well with the woman's voice.. hehe ^_^ I think i have heard a similiar song before, but it's not sung by him/them.. hehe
I have always love old songs, but not as old as these though.. lol =D MOst old songs i like, are mainly in the 80s, or oldest being in the 70s.. hehe ^_^ I like old songs, as they are really pure, straight forward with meaningful lyrics in them.. haha =D

well, when i was in highschool my mom has a habit of listening to the radio every morning and there's a certain day when her favorite station is playing old songs, and there i was able to hear this song and the rest of old songs that i like. i don't actually know the their title at first but they are all in my mind and so when i have a chance i do search for their titles. hehe
i find arthur's theme a nice song and i just come to know the title just recently even if i have liked it for a long time. haha

oh, those were nice selection. i also like those from carpenters, and songs from bread. john denver's songs are also remarkable. and that she's always a woman to me is also a good one. really there's a lot of beautiful old songs out there, i guess they are a lot better than the new one now.

hello amiga,
I like that song,and i like the story of it.
There's a good lesson from that song.
Not to under estimate love and age.
Age doesn't matter when it comes to love.
Some people think that,young people can not love truly,that young people are just playing with love.
But,sometimes,younger ones are more matured than older ones.
Age is not a basis when it comes to love,for the heart doesn't age with time.
Have a good day always dear amiga...

No, I've never heard that song before. Thanks you sharing the link so I could! I thought it was really depressing song, especially at the end...Ouch! That's gotta hurt.

Hi ckyera, thanks for that treat. I have not heard that sad love song for many years now actually. I was surprised to see Asian characters in the clip. But I like it. I was hoping to see John though.

Hi! Im very much familiar with this old song because my close friend during my high school years was so in love with this song and she kept on singing this again and again inside our classroom. She somehow dedicated this song to his long time crush for she felt that this song was exactly for her and her crush that time!. When i came to hear that song playing over the radio that time, i realize that its not just an old song, but a nice song with nice message too. Simple, but could really touch the hearts of those who are in love especially those who could place themselves in the case of Jimmy and Joni in that wonderful song.
Yes, im a fanatic of old love songs because they are much meaningful, soothing to the ears, could make me feel in love and sing together with them while reminiscing those days when im so in love with my boyfriend that is now my husband. Some of my favorite songs was, Old song, by David Pomeranz, Ocean Deep, Sweet Baby, Bluer than Blue, Break it to me gently, Love moves in Mysterious ways, Tonight I give in, One in a million You, Doors, On the wings of Love and much much more that i could,t remember right now. Good night!

I also like this song. I heard this from my mom and dad since I was young. They were singing this song, while my dad is playing the guitar while singing and my mom too. That's why I love this song because I miss the old times when my parents are still together.
I also like the beat, the melody and the story of this song. It's a typical love story of a young lady who fell in love with an older guy.
