This song probably has one of the best verses out of Joe's songs...other than my favorite Mary May and Bobby.
"You see, once he was a young man. And he was holdin' a young girls hand. And they where walking' down by the lake, And about nineteen-forty-eight,
And they had their first kiss. Oh, with the moon shining down, And they had the true love. Oh, it really could be found. In this town."
This verse grabs me because every grandma or grandpa has a grand story about how they fell in love. It's actually magical to hear. Not only that, but you have Joe Purdy signing it with a great tune. Great chemistry for a song. Really makes you want to find someone amazing to grow old with.....Not only that, but really makes you realize that "true love" can be found when you're least expecting it.
