Lyric discussion by ksandbergfl 

This song has always been in my Top 5 Saddest Songs of All Time. The lyrics are a little cheesy but the music itself is first-rate. The orchestration and string arrangements are among the best ever done on a pop song.

It really does a great jobo giving you an overwhelming feeling of sadness in the way the piano is used and his voice. Its very sad

@ksandbergfl the piano parts between the verses is borrowed from Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto, second movement. Indeed first rate.
