This is a song whose meaning has finally hit me. I am as my friend called me, "a life long loving companion". While we shared an intimate relationship at one time, we went our separate ways. But inside we knew our bond would keep us together. We were true soul mates. Words couldn't begin to describe our relationship that lasted over 40 yrs. He was diagnosed with cancer, as I held him in my arms, he gave me one last gift, this song. He asked me to play it for him. He looked up at me, smiled and said to me, "I have finally found peace", he kissed my hand and passed away.
