    this is such a sad song, about a guy (it was made famous by ray charles) who's in love with a friend, but he can't tell her how he feels about her...peter cincotti does a great version, he has an awesome voice and plays piano very well.

    is she singing about a gay guy or about a girl she loves but could never have? every time i hear it it applies a different way...

    minze08, this song was originally done by a guy, so he was singing about a girl who walks away with the lucky guy. jann arden covered this song and kept the lyrics exactly the same. personally, i love it when people do this, even if their sexuality and the song they are covering do not mesh. i love the ambiguity.

    I think the best scene in My Best Friend's Wedding is when Julianne and Michael are on the boat... I love when they dance and he whispers The Way You Look Tonight words in her ear... And she can't help crying... I cry when I see that scene... Wonderful...

    Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by...the chance that you might love me, too. Isn't that the worst part of it all? Knowing that you had a chance, but you were too afraid, too insecure, to take that risk and tell them how you felt? And now it's too late, and they'll never know the person that loved them like you did.
