I used to send songs by email to my dad. This was the last one I sent him. My mom was in the early stages of dementia-he thanked me and said they held hands and listened to it over and over. A few days later they were both killed by a reckless driver. This will be my 2nd Christmas without them and I'm so thankful for this song and for their faith in God.
oh wow i can't stop my tears flowing down my cheeks after just reading your story i do offer this for you take the time to listen to them they are speaking to you to continue to guide you its a still small voice and i promise the more u thank them for the visit the more they will be with you im sorry im still crying as i write this i relate to your missing your parents i relate to your severe loneliness i have found a new calm in my life i took care of my parents since i was 4 yrs old a devastating story and the finale was just as devastating and your correct our Heavenly Father has a special way in wrapping his Love and arms around us
Also, on August 11, 2017, my sister and I went to see Neil Sedaka here in NJ and let me tell you...he still sounds great!! When he sang this song, I just cried thinking about how my dad and I cannot sing this song or communicate anymore due to his illness. Thank you Mr. Sedaka, it was awesome listening to you in person!! God bless always.
The way that he looks at his daughter with such a level of admiration and love is nothing short of breathtaking. I’m 55. My husband is 58 so we grew up listening to Neil Sedaka but we have a 16-year-old daughter because we started late and he said to me the way he looks at her. He’s like that’s how I feel when I look at our daughter with so much love.
I can't help but think of my late husband when I hear this. If I could have I would have never let him go. After 45 years of marriage, he passed away two years ago. My heart still aches for him every single day!
I know how you feel my wife was a saint she died 5 years ago there was a hundred beautiful things about her I'm crying now as I send you this 5 years later
I was 18 years old when this song came out and I thought I was a Sedaka fan before ¿ THIS SONG IS BEYOND BRILLIANT ! BRAVA MAESTRO NEIL ! FRIKKIN BRAVA !
I met Neil Sedaka in 1988 whilst I was an intern at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC. He was visiting my very young patient ( his nephew who was dying of cancer ). He was very kind and sweet. He told me that “ I was beautiful “. I’ll never forget that.
God! Her voice is so pure and strong! True talent of the gods , no autotune, Didn't have to use strong backup singers to "strengthen". No, no. Dara Sedaka Was just as blessed as her father
I was born January 1970 so obviously I grew up listening to Neil Sedaka. My mom loved him. I love him, but this song right here is something so special.
there's your answer, Rich - 215 (and counting) without a soul left. Feel bad for these people. I see people from my childhood and past now empty/dark/sullen due to their second act(s). They didn't chose a vocation they desperately loved - they choose "Where the job's likely to be." .
Usual idiots here commenting their pathetic virtue signals disrespecting the concept that artistry is dependent upon a diversity of tastes and opinions. The only soulless morons here are those stuck in their narrow-minded cultural ruts who think that enjoying something artistic makes you intellectually virtuous. Imagine what a shockingly sad and soulless world it would be if everyone shared exactly the same tastes. There would be no point in being innovative any more.
My dad and I used to sing duets all the time at church and weddings. He’s still alive but he’s 91 and doesn’t have that voice to sing anymore. But we often talk about those duets. ❤😊
Yes, this sound catured my soul right from the start. It felt the the beginning of something realy really wonderhaed. This song never disappointed or took the wrong turn. Thank You Jesus for these two beautiful souls and talents you created. And I love seeing a father and daughter so close that they can sing together and how Dara looks so much like her father. So amazing. Amazing Grace🎼🎤🫶🧔♀️🎹
I was in high school when this song came out, 1980, and from the moment I heard it I loved it. I used to stay in my room with the door closed and take my hair brush in hand and sing away. I have always loved music! This song reminds me of my dad because when I would sing he would join in and sing "Neil's" part. My dad is now 87 and is suffering from Parkinson's disease, he is in a nursing home and he is half the man he was back then but one thing has never changed...THE LOVE I FEEL FOR HIM IS ALWAYS STRONG! HE IS THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD! It's amazing what that damn disease takes away from a person. Thanks Mr. Sedaka for writing this beautiful song and thank you to my daddy for all you've done for me for 52 years! I LOVE YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!
Thanks for the comment and blessing. I hope I made my dad proud. Right now it is difficult to see the person that he has become due to that terrible disease. There are days that he doesn't even know who I am but I know in his heart he will always know that I am his baby and that I love him very much! God bless you and your family as well.
+Cynthia Calderon Just remember, your dad loves you, God gave you to him for a reason, God does not make mistakes. Your Dad knows you love him that is what is important. God bless you and your dad Miss Cynthia.
+Cynthia Calderon You are more than welcome Miss Cynthia, please excuse my use of Miss in my posts but my dad taught me to be a gentleman, though he went home to be with God 23 years ago, I thank God every day that he gave me a dad that taught me the proper way to treat a lady, as your dad taught you to be the lady you are now. Have a great holiday week Miss Cynthia.
This song still brings tears to my eyes. A gorgeous song - a very blessed man and his beautiful daughter singing in harmony together. Absolutely lovely. ❤️🙏
What more could a father who has the musical talent like Neil Sadaka wish for, to sing his own composition with his daughter on stage, A very magical moment in both there lives
38 years later this still puts a tear in my eye. this is music that could have only been God inspired thru the beautiful minds of neil and dara sedaka. this is so beautiful that it cant be described...thank you, neil and dara.
PERHAPS SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE COULD AND KNEW THE TALENT SHE HAD BUT DID NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE PRESSURE SHE SAW HER DAD HAD TO ENDURE DURING HIS YEARS PERFORMING. YES A BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HERS AND A MASTER TALENT WHO IS HER DAD. I APPLAUD THEM BOTH.
Tim Leach I heard Neil say in an interview that she didn't want to go the "show business" route. I think she did some commercial work at one point though. But I agree, she's got a beautiful voice!
This has to the Greatest Love Song Duet in the History of Music! EveryTime I hear them sing this song, I get Goosebumps and I start tearing up! There's just something about this song that Overwhelms me! Thank God for Neil and Dara Sedaka! 😍🤩🥰🙏🇵🇷
Update on my dad from the last time I wrote 2 years ago. My dad is now 89 and on Hospice, he has Parkinson's and End Stage Dementia. Please pray that the Good Lord will not let him suffer too much more. Thank you and God bless you all. I love my daddy very much and this is killing me.
It is okay to grieve, and it is okay to look back on all the wonderful memories, I lost my Dad when I was 14 and my Mom back in 2013, I think of both of them daily and I am closing on 67 next month. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep!!!
I miss you, so much, Dad. Sometimes I pretend you are still here. Yet now, you sing amidst the angels, with your beautiful voice. I try to make it through each day, without you here, but it sure is not easy. BFF's forever...xoxo Thank you juango5, for sharing this sweet video.
Very good but there are others as well performed. Paul Anka did a duet with his daughter Anthea: "Do I Love You?" : ruclips.net/video/iO9IfDjf2fA/видео.html And I believe Natalie Cole did a duet "Unforgettable" with her father Nat King Cole posthumously.
I remember hearing this very song when I was a typical tormented teenager filled with angst. Hearing this song after 40 years, brought back all those whirling, swirling memories. This is such a beautiful song, a haunting melody, lovely harmony. Just lovely. Thank you. ❤️
I was a little girl when this song came out. When i turned 25, my Dad and i sang the Nat and Natalie Cole duet. I always wanted to do this one with him. He passed 3-years ago Thursday. Although i thought about him all throughout the day, i finally got to honor his memory by playing this song. I will never let you go, Pops! I will always cherish you!!
With so many broken homes now, and fathers abandoning their children, its nice to see a father, and daughter, who seem to genuinely love each other.They look, and sing, so well together.
So many MOTHERS deciding they have had enough (of decent, even good, if fallible men) failure to forgive...yes, all kinds of excuses, I know I did that...COULD NOT forgive...now we are each with spouses who are not at all interested in the things and activities and depth of intellectual conversations...we used to read aloud to each other...for years...but he was unfaithful, he didn't want a divorce, he was a good, really good father, still is....but there was no way I could find forgiveness.....now we are "friends", sort of....I am NOT attracted to him, no longer find his extremely pronounced regional accent charming, it grates me..he is not physically appealing, but I miss the things of interest we shared, STILL share! My husband doesn't want to travel to the places #1 and I dreamed of in our 20's and 30's..and #1's wife doesn't want to go with him. We both go WITH OUR GROWN KIDS.... separately. Do NOT accept the false advice to divorce "for sake of the kids" it does NOT help them in life! It wounds them forever. That was a huge societal, trendy LIE to women back in the 80's.....I bought it. (Hope this keeps at least one woman from breaking up her family.) Get counseling from a pro-marriage counselor. TRY HARDER...P R A Y . My now husband was damaged from a wife who broke up his family.He is not perfect. WHO is? His kids are major messed up. A hundred times more than my kids. DIVORCE is NOT an answer, believe me. I was so SELF-centered, SELF-seeking. In the 80's it was "Look out for #1" I fell for that LIE.

Wow, Neil's daughter Dara can really sing! I remember when this song was first released (I was in my early teens) and I just loved it. And, true to form, it has stood the test of time -- the mark of a truly great song.
I still remember the first time I heard this, Dara was noticeably younger, on one of his specialties. I didn’t know she was his daughter, I was just amazed at the performance, and then thinking how much emotion this girl had. Then she was introduced, and that’s when I started loving my (step)daughter, whom I wouldn’t meet for almost 40 years. Neil, Dara, and this song taught me so much about love, it was only second to may parents.
I don't think you understand. Sweetie 🥰 You don't understand the effect you've had a my entire life. I'm learning to let go of all the bad things in the past and to be grateful for what I found in the world today. You 🩷🕊️ take away my worries. You take away my sorrow, you really do and that's why I'm crazy about you. 💘. Thank you! Honestly thank you for making me feel just so special 💘💘💘
I'm 58 yrs. old here in 2024. Back when I was in middle school (ages ago), my classmate and I were in choir and we would sing this song together in harmony with her singing alto and me soprano. We sounded sooo good! Love this song!
I remember when this song came out and even though it barely got any airtime at all (and I listened to a half-dozen stations in So. Calif. at that time), I knew this was extraordinary. So glad it's here and available to return to, and transport me back to those days.
I just watched a recent interview with Neil and he is still living in the same building/condo that he rented since 1972. They knocked down some walls and now he owns the whole floor.
This song has special meaning for me. Early 1980s (near the time this song was released)...... college..... the most beautiful girlfriend one could possibly imagine...... so much in love..... but we decided to go to opposite coasts for graduate school, and separated.......A few years later, we had a New Year's Eve date when I was in her city...... when she walked into the room..... "her beauty steals my breath away" ...... it was a magical night. "I should have never let her go." ..... But she married another. ....... And I have remained single ..... because even after all these years ...... no one else has ever compared to her. .... "You're the one I can't forget...." This singular song brings back all those memories from so long ago. "I should have never let you go."
Awesome song. I first heard this song when I was listening to a re-broadcast of a Casey Kasem countdown that this song was a part of a week or a couple of weeks ago.
Father and daughter singing beautiful harmony! It touches my heart every time I hear it. I saw Neil in person in the 1970's and again in the 2010's. He wrote and recorded some beautiful songs.
This is the music I grew up listening to. I always thought that music and life would remain this way. Glad that this was uploaded as a reminder that there was a generation who actually listened to great music. Thank you for the darling memories.
I asked "Alexa" to play Neil Sedaka songs. I'm familiar with most of his songs except this one "Should've never let you go". I like this duet so much and ask Alexa to play it on "repeat". Wrote the lyrics with chords on my music notebook while listening to it.
Beautiful neil sedaka your daughter is amazing when you walk in to a room if only my father was still here he loved this song it was a joy to watch while on this lockdown god bless stay safe and thank you again for sharing all of the songs music and dance for all to watch 🍀
What a beautiful duet. I remember them singing this on American Bandstand shortly after it was released. When Dara sings "go" at 3:43...wow! It's perfect.
Why isn't he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? He has more hits on the top Billboard list and has written a super amount of hits for other artists but still isn't in the Hall. That's a disgrace.
+ExBruinsFan So you believe that Cat Stevens, the Bee Gees, Johnny Cash, Dick Clark, Neil Diamond, Pete Seeger, Dusty Springfield, Louis Armstrong, Donna Summer, James Taylor are all rock and roll, but Neil Sedaka is not?
Billboard's #77 song of the '80 survey year. God bless you, juango, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! Shalom, Neil and Dara (they're Jewish)!
Oh my what a wonderful singer Dara is. Takes after her father. He will be so proud of her as she is of him. Absolutely impressive. Thank you so very much.
My late husband Paul 's and my Favorite. We attended one of Nerl's concerts in Lake Tahoe many years ago .Neil's.daughter Dara sang this with him that night 🌙 We were AWED and at 27 I loved him and still do to this day .

My deepest sympathies. 💔
I’m so very sorry
💜🙏💜
They should have done an entire album together ! Neil found a new duet partner!
Why did DARA NEVER HAVE A SOLD CAREER, SHE IS "WONDERFUL"
I have always wondered that.
One of the prettiest (saddest) songs ever
Also, on August 11, 2017, my sister and I went to see Neil Sedaka here in NJ and let me tell you...he still sounds great!!

Hi Cynthia 💐💐
this man is a national treasure.
simply lovely Dad and Daughter! BRAVO!!
Hello Cathy, How are you doing?
Neil passed his singing talent on to his beautiful daughter Dara ❤
That is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life
Top shelf
I totally agree
I agree my sister and me always loved it
Many years ago I saw Neil and Dara Sedaka at Westbury Music Fair in Concert..
I Miss those Special Evenings.
God Bless
The way that he looks at his daughter with such a level of admiration and love is nothing short of breathtaking. I’m 55. My husband is 58 so we grew up listening to Neil Sedaka but we have a 16-year-old daughter because we started late and he said to me the way he looks at her.

Beautiful girl. Beautiful song.
I think this is one of the most beautiful love song, ever written and performed
I can't help but think of my late husband when I hear this. If I could have I would have never let him go. After 45 years of marriage, he passed away two years ago. My heart still aches for him every single day!
So sorry about your loss. This is a beautiful song. My wife & I are approaching our 40th Anniversary on 21 Mar 21.

BRAVA MAESTRO NEIL ! FRIKKIN BRAVA !
This is the best father/daughter duet I've heard in a long time.
I agree 100% Beautiful, she has her daddy's voice. And she's very cute.
Besutiful... that's all that needs to be said...
nats is pretty awesome with his daughter
Beautiful song and duet! 👏
I've never heard her before. She has a beautiful voice!
I'll never understand why this song wasn't covered by a lot off singers. IMO it is the premiere song Sedaka ever wrote.
Adoro.neil.sedaka.sou.fan.
I met Neil Sedaka in 1988 whilst I was an intern at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC. He was visiting my very young patient ( his nephew who was dying of cancer ). He was very kind and sweet. He told me that “ I was beautiful “. I’ll never forget that.
Hi Molli💐💐
Neil needs to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
+j flo FOR SURE.
+j flo I join your proposal
He isn't in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame??? Someone there must hate him....
yes, I really agree after all those beautiful original immortal music he has composed!!! God bless us!

God! Her voice is so pure and strong!
True talent of the gods , no autotune, Didn't have to use strong backup singers to "strengthen".
No, no. Dara Sedaka Was just as blessed as her father
I was born January 1970 so obviously I grew up listening to Neil Sedaka. My mom loved him. I love him, but this song right here is something so special.
How could anyone with a soul
Give this a thumbs down?
maybe because it appears to be a copy of a copy of a copy.
Think of it as 97% of viewers "liked" this. 3% Don't know good music, when they hear it.
there's your answer, Rich - 215 (and counting) without a
soul left. Feel bad for these people. I see people from my childhood
and past now empty/dark/sullen due to their second act(s). They didn't
chose a vocation they desperately loved - they choose "Where the job's likely to be."

Never understood why Dara didn't have a carere . the girl is so talented

3 years later and I'm sharing a belated tear with you. So many wonderful memories!
Amen to that.
Simply amazing... One of the best duets ever..
Hi FROM A fellow PERKINS
S!
Same!!
Dara Sedaka should have never stopped her singing career. Great voice!
PERHAPS SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE COULD AND KNEW THE TALENT SHE HAD BUT DID NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE PRESSURE SHE SAW HER DAD HAD TO ENDURE DURING HIS YEARS PERFORMING. YES A BEAUTIFUL VOICE OF HERS AND A MASTER TALENT WHO IS HER DAD. I APPLAUD THEM BOTH.
Dara was a tad younger than Marie Osmond.
Those background vocals are haunting!
Paul Anka duets with his daughter on his own composition, Do I Love You ?.....
SHE sounds just like her dad.
Dick Tynan Dublin Ireland 2o21
No need to work she'll get daddy's money
I surprised Dara didn't become a star in her own right...she has a very wonderful voice...
Tim Leach I heard Neil say in an interview that she didn't want to go the "show business" route. I think she did some commercial work at one point though. But I agree, she's got a beautiful voice!
+Laura Stone He said last night that she does radio and TV commercials.
Laura Stone and IS beautiful!
Iron 12 That's so true..i thought of it.. she was very close to her dad that's for sure..
To become a STAR you have to be HUNGRY - Dara an Nancy (Sinatra) had tremendous potential, but... If you get what I mean,,,,
Memories of the one 1 lost
❤
I agree 150% Neil Sedaka belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame can't believe he not there yet.....
Beautiful duet by Dad and daughter.

Grammy worthy.
Like real Grammys
I miss you, so much, Dad. Sometimes I pretend you are still here. Yet now, you sing amidst the angels, with your beautiful voice. I try to make it through each day, without you here, but it sure is not easy. BFF's forever...xoxo

what a beautiful father daughter relationship! i want that with my two darling daughters. i am crying...
Highly polished performance, great singing, lovely song. We need music of this calibre more than ever now, but where are the Sedakas of today?
One of my favorite songs. Why Dara never became a huge star, I'll never know.

Sad you feel that way. @@scarred10

THEY ARE FABULOUS TOGETHER !!! BEAUTIFULLY DONE !!! AND NO "HALL OF FAME" FOR NEIL... THAT IS RIDICULOUS.... HE DESERVES IT !!!!SO MANY HITS....
It reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on the Adult Contemporary charts in 1980. It was Neil's last Hot 100 appearance.
Dara Sedaka has one of the prettiest alto voices. I wish she had done more recordings. Fabulous duet, great blend.
DARA..SO LOVELY!
Back again 8 December 2020, one word explains this song- "Beautiful"
Wow, Neil's daughter Dara can really sing! I remember when this song was first released (I was in my early teens) and I just loved it. And, true to form, it has stood the test of time -- the mark of a truly great song.
The sweetest father and daughter duet ever!!
Hi Denise 💐💐
I still remember the first time I heard this, Dara was noticeably younger, on one of his specialties. I didn’t know she was his daughter, I was just amazed at the performance, and then thinking how much emotion this girl had. Then she was introduced, and that’s when I started loving my (step)daughter, whom I wouldn’t meet for almost 40 years. Neil, Dara, and this song taught me so much about love, it was only second to may parents.
She had an impressively good voice. Sounds good with her Dad! ❤
Hello 👋, How are you doing?
I don't think you understand. Sweetie 🥰 You don't understand the effect you've had a my entire life. I'm learning to let go of all the bad things in the past and to be grateful for what I found in the world today. You 🩷🕊️ take away my worries. You take away my sorrow, you really do and that's why I'm crazy about you. 💘. Thank you! Honestly thank you for making me feel just so special 💘💘💘
Dara has a beautiful voice, she’s definitely Neil Sedaka’s daughter! They’re both are so wonderful & talented musical artists. Love this song🤗💕
Excellent duet..Oui.
I'm 58 yrs. old here in 2024. Back when I was in middle school (ages ago), my classmate and I were in choir and we would sing this song together in harmony with her singing alto and me soprano. We sounded sooo good! Love this song!
I know I’ve commented before but this song always always makes me feel about my dad who passed in 1992 and he was such a great dad❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember when this song came out and even though it barely got any airtime at all (and I listened to a half-dozen stations in So. Calif. at that time), I knew this was extraordinary. So glad it's here and available to return to, and transport me back to those days.
I just watched a recent interview with Neil and he is still living in the same building/condo that he rented since 1972. They knocked down some walls and now he owns the whole floor.
This song has special meaning for me. Early 1980s (near the time this song was released)...... college..... the most beautiful girlfriend one could possibly imagine...... so much in love..... but we decided to go to opposite coasts for graduate school, and separated.......A few years later, we had a New Year's Eve date when I was in her city...... when she walked into the room..... "her beauty steals my breath away" ...... it was a magical night. "I should have never let her go." ..... But she married another. ....... And I have remained single ..... because even after all these years ...... no one else has ever compared to her. .... "You're the one I can't forget...." This singular song brings back all those memories from so long ago. "I should have never let you go."
Galen, are you her?
What a heart break man, when you find that true love...never let it go and do what ever you can to keep it....for you may never find another.
Awesome song. I first heard this song when I was listening to a re-broadcast of a Casey Kasem countdown that this song was a part of a week or a couple of weeks ago.
Father and daughter singing beautiful harmony! It touches my heart every time I hear it. I saw Neil in person in the 1970's and again in the 2010's. He wrote and recorded some beautiful songs.
❤ so beautiful together.
Beautiful,brings me to tears thinking of my estranged eldest daughter....😑😑😑
This is the music I grew up listening to. I always thought that music and life would remain this way. Glad that this was uploaded as a reminder that there was a generation who actually listened to great music. Thank you for the darling memories.
So beautiful!
Re Discovered this beautiful song. They really don't make them like this any more.
What a romantic and bittersweet song! Love it! His daughter is so talented! She should have blew up way back then!
This was recorded in 1980. She was born in 1963. Do the math and be amazed at the talent of a 17 year old girl
I asked "Alexa" to play Neil Sedaka songs. I'm familiar with most of his songs except this one "Should've never let you go".
I like this duet so much and ask Alexa to play it on "repeat".
Wrote the lyrics with chords on my music notebook while listening to it.
Hello Maria, How are you doing?
Possibly my most favorite Neil Sedaka song.
Such beautiful voices
Beautiful neil sedaka your daughter is amazing when you walk in to a room if only my father was still here he loved this song it was a joy to watch while on this lockdown god bless stay safe and thank you again for sharing all of the songs music and dance for all to watch 🍀
What a beautiful duet. I remember them singing this on American Bandstand shortly after it was released. When Dara sings "go" at 3:43...wow! It's perfect.
that's very, very beautiful, father and daughter ❤️ really this song touch your heart.. 😔
Why isn't he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? He has more hits on the top Billboard list and has written a super amount of hits for other artists but still isn't in the Hall. That's a disgrace.
He's not rock and roll.
ExBruinsFan Half of the people inducted into the Rock And Roll aren't rock and roll either!
+ExBruinsFan So you believe that Cat Stevens, the Bee Gees, Johnny Cash, Dick Clark, Neil Diamond, Pete Seeger, Dusty Springfield, Louis Armstrong, Donna Summer, James Taylor are all rock and roll, but Neil Sedaka is not?
There should be no Hall if a legend like Neil Sedaka, as performer and songwriter, isn't in it.
RARHOF is a joke
A Father and daughter duet Niel and Dara Sedaka....
Their harmonies are spot on................
15? Wow. That makes me so envious. She should have never let her singing career go!
Hello Teresa, How are you doing?
Thank you....beautiful song.... a beautiful duo.
I love this song so much it's so beautiful to see father and daughter singing together this is from Hawaii
Neil lifts me every time I look at him, hear his voice, watch Neil here on
You Tube kindly giving concerts.
.
Billboard's #77 song of the '80 survey year. God bless you, juango, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! Shalom, Neil and Dara (they're Jewish)!
Oh my what a wonderful singer Dara is. Takes after her father. He will be so proud of her as she is of him. Absolutely impressive. Thank you so very much.
Dude this is out of the park!
Even though the video quality is pretty poor, I think Dara looks stunning sitting there are the piano, looking over at her dad. Beautiful!
My god why wasn't Dara a bigger star!!
This song always makes me cry, reminding me of me and my dad❤❤❤❤❤
My late husband Paul 's and my Favorite. We attended one of Nerl's concerts in Lake Tahoe many years ago .Neil's.daughter Dara sang this with him that night 🌙 We were AWED and at 27 I loved him and still do to this day .
