When I was a young boy I heard this song performed by James Ingram and Patti Austin and immediately loved it. Now I hear it sang by an angel and a choir of angels. I cried when I heard this arrangement just because it was so beautiful performed! Thanks for sharing your talent ❤️
Her low notes have an unpleasant nasal tone. Lots of aaaih. Old English nasty ash. Beautiful upper register, though, and she kills the lyrics. Choir is magnificent, as usual.
What a profound comment. I’m so moved. Caring for someone with dementia is incredibly challenging, and it sounds like you’re going through a very tough time. Your dedication and love are truly admirable, even when things are difficult. Remember to take care of yourself, too, and lean on support systems when you need them. You’re doing an amazing job. Sending you strength and compassion.
Good sir. Please remember that it is the dementia talking not your beautiful wife. I’m betting she still loves you with all her heart. My best to both of you.
The choral sound was nothing short of breathtaking. The harmony and clarity of each note created a truly magical experience. The soloist did an extraordinary delivery---lovely, lovely voice! ♥️
I happened to run into this wonderful piece of music by Michel LeGrand, about four years ago. I since have heard it sung by many artists including Frank SInatra, Barbara Streisand,, and best of all Tony Bennett. The lyrics are in my opinion the best love song ever. I am 92 years old and became a widower five years ago. how I wish I could have sung this to my dear wife whose mind became scrambled to dementia. The young lady soloist was absolutely angelic. My deepest congratulations to whoever thought out this choral presentation. It goes in my #1 favorites list. Please put it on a CD.
John,, there are many versions of this most beautiful romantic song by M L , with lyrics by Alan & Marylin Bergman . Try Arojo Paco ,,,or a piano version by Emile Pandolfi ,,,or a duo by Nana Mouskouri and Harry Belafonte
this song saved me in June of that year, i was with covid 19, i was already giving up when a friend sent me this song, when i heard it it brought me back. gratitude 🙏
I can't imagine a better soloist, a more extraordinary chorus and a more sensitive conductor for this exciting song. This is choral music at a stratospheric level: it doesn't happen very often to have this opportunity. Carpe diem :-)
When the full choir comes in on the second chorus, that made me cry. How I miss choir & showchoir. Simply made an already beautiful song even more beautiful. This choir is amazing.
Ex Trinity chorister here - the Trinity Chapel has almost ideal acoustics for choral work, and a world-class organ. Kings also do much of their recording there, given the extreme echo in their own (glorious) chapel.
My mother LOVED this song…but she only knew the Ingram/Austin version. She was a choral director, mezzo soprano performer - rare, beautiful operatically trained voice. Music was her life. She knew of this choir, she listened to their Faure Requiem (beautiful). She died last month. It breaks my heart into 1000 pieces that she didn’t know of this wonderful version…she would have loved it. 😭 😭 😭
Helen - this is simply remarkable. Your singing for The Self-Isolation Choir with FIERI is amazing. This, however, is remarkable. Stephen and the choir - thank you.
Each time I have listened to this Trinity College Choir version, including Helen's angelic voice, I simply cannot stop the tears rolling down my cheeks such is its beauty. I am looking forward to learning the piece with The Self-Isolation Choir, with Helen as the soloist, in June. I shall have a huge handkerchief handy!
With music by Legrand, and lyrics from the Bergmans’, the only topping on that duo would be hearing such a magnificent chorus and soloist perform their masterpiece to perfection. I’ve played this a dozen times today and am amazed of the quality and balance of this choir. It doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you so much for posting this, it made my day.
This is a really moving arrangement and Helen is outstanding. Fantastic vocal talent backing her too. I hope this performance is enjoyed by many in the future.
"I know the way I feel for you is now or never, The more I love the more that I'm afraid That in your eyes I may nor see forever, forever. If we can be the best of lovers, and be the best of friends. If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows, With any luck then I suppose- THE MUSIC NEVER ENDS." Growing up I've always been a Michel Legrand fan. This morning as I was having coffee and some toast with peanut butter, I opened my computer and saw this post by a colleague on fb, so I thought I'd give it a listen. Just as when the solo came in, I found my self unexpectedly bursting in tears. Not only the beautiful rendition touched my heart, but after not hearing this song in a long time, it shook my inner feelings, touched my profound and deep emotion, my soul. And with all the craziness that is happening in the world right now, if we couldn't live together in peace and harmony, I ask, "how do WE keep the music playing?" Ms. Helen Charlston, your solo is just stunning. Just the perfect amount of emotion, warmth, temperament, expression and grace, yet very powerful. I could listen to your fantastic voice all day. Very inspiring. Thank you. As we are currently inhibited from doing what we do best and love, this is one of those perfect reminders not to lose hope, and that sometime, someday we will be back together in concert-- for love conquers all, and that any form of hate has no place in our heart. Then I suppose- truly music never ends.
@@silviafigueroa8813 I think most people listening to this know the original very well, and the hundreds of covers too. This though - this is sooo much better. Stunning, heartbreaking, breathtaking, just not enough superlatives. Thank you, Alexander L'Estrange, Stephen Layton, and Helen Charlston, for refining and moulding this classic to perfection.
It's too bad we are allowed to hit the "Like" button only once. Oh well... This was lovely. My mum passed away today and I needed something soothing. I've been hitting the replay button a few times before Ieaving a comment.
The “music never left” & neither will your dear mother, even as she is physically gone, you keep her spirit alive in your heart & memories. Sending hugs & loving support to you; be gentle with yourself. ✨♥️✨🤍✨☮️✨🎶✨🎵✨
If music can bring people closer together, then it has probably achieved the highest of all goals. This song is undoubtedly a pearl and touches a lot of people very deeply in their hearts when it is arranged so masterfully, so courageously rehearsed and so lovingly and sensitively interpreted as we can experience it here. Many thanks to everyone involved! Every musician knows how much work it takes to make such a miracle happen.
This is an incredible performance from all involved. I know this song through Tony Bennett's moving take, but this is incredibly moving and melts my heart.
This is fantastic. When I saw the link title, and the date, this choral director thought...Oh... here will be some helpful tutorial about how to proceed with life without choral singing. Well, no, but thank you for this sensational gesture, reminding me of an example of all of the amazing choral singing that has been going on in the world. I am weeping as I write. We all corporately sigh as we figure out how to make music like this in masks and keep our droplets to ourselves. Sing on people. In gratitude.
Indeed- I was hoping to get some specific creative ideas I hadn't heard before on what to do with my choir since I have to teach them despite the dangers. So seriously, this is gorgeous, but if anyone has anything about how to run a choral rehearsal/program outside and with a mask, and with no in person performances practical, which is what the recommendations are, I want to hear it.
Oh my, those low notes...(and all the other notes too). I've recently been through a divorce and this is some of the best therapy imaginable! Thank you thank you thank you!!! My ex-wife and I saw Michel Legrand perform at Ronnie Scott's in 2011 - he made the piano sound like an orchestra - so many colours. He was also verrry funny. I'm sad that he is not around to hear this, but pleased that his music will never end.
Hi Ben, small world!! I actually enjoyed the honor of playing a concert with him back in the day! It was just extraordinary. We performed his suite from 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg' (spelling correct?), 'Pieces of Dreams', and this song as well. My eyes kept welling up, made it tough to see the music on my stand.
@@augustpressllc342 "I will wait for you" is another transcendent work. I haven't listened to Legrand's music for years - it is very easy to get lost in it - I may have exceeded a sensible daily allowance...
Très belle voix et limpides ! Excellent chœur ! Ensemble très homogène ! En plus ils sont Jeunes ! Bravo !🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 un moment de pur régal !
Präzision kann man selbst erlernen, das wunderbare Timbre von Helen Charlston aber ist ein Geschenk Gottes. Vielen Dank für dieses Video an alle Mitwirkenden!
This is the sound of the sunrise and the sunset happening at the same time. I love how the bass vocalist in pink is keeping the downbeat and feeling the groove. Gorgeous vocal arrangement. And the lead vocalist is just pure love. I want her to be my daughter. LOVELY. JUST LOVELY. Thank you for this.
amazing singing and Helen Charlton is superb as soloist. But for me, it is the bass in pink shirt and headphones behind Layton grooving at 3:10 that makes it for me. HE IS SO INTO THE MUSIC he cannot restrain himself.
I agree what everyone is saying hest. I would give almost anything to be there in that chapel that day. To hear it live reverberating through the chapel would have given me deep down shivers! My heart probably would be beating fast. I love great music so much!
This is simply stunning. What an outstanding performance. Absolutely amazing. Listening over and over and getting chills. Congratulations Mr Layton and the singers
This is beautiful though so emotional, I only listen now and then as i know tears will follow and painful memories. Then i remind myself genuine love is always worth the hurt.
I've been listening to this rendition of "how do you keep the music playing" over and over again. Heavenly blending of voices...so relaxing, it touches one's heart.
Toujours une répétition de la même phrase,une forme d'obsession chez mr Legrand..... un désir de refaire pour être sûr que le sillon sera traçé à jamais! Oui mr Legrand un style qui laisse une "empreinte" un amour de ce qui est précieux! La vie! Merci mt Legrand Un patronyme à votre hauteur!
I started the Self Isolation Choir course today learning this sublime song with the fabulous Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and the wonderful Helen Charlston. We’ve had the privilege and joy of singing with Helen and Fieri for many of our SIC works.
I had the pleasure of hearing this choir at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, Ontario during their North American tour. They were wonderful that evening, but this piece surpasses even that performance. A simply magical rendition of a beautiful arrangement. I have listened to this every day for the last two weeks - can’t get enough of the piece and the angelic performance by Helen Charlston. Incredible!!!
Absolutely beautiful - thanks so much to Helen, Stephen Layton and everyone involved in this stunning recording. I can't believe I've never heard this song before and can't wait to learn it, with Helen as soloist, with the Self-Isolation Choir. If you love it too, why not sign up to the course with SIC?
TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT - I wish the instructor could have this group cut a full album and DVD, etc., of music like this. Superb training not only in the music but the studio techniques. BRAVO.
Trinity College, thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful music! It is Thanksgiving here in the United States today. I wish you all many blessed days to come, and much to be thankful for. 🇺🇸
No words can possibly do justice to this performance. All I can say is that it moved me, as others have posted, to tears. Utterly, utterly beautiful. To Helen Charlston and choir and choral director, thank you so very much Russell Schofield
I heard Carl Anderson sing this piece , and loved it !! Listening to Trinity College Choir , unbelievable!!! Absolutely beautiful !! If Trinity choose it , it must be good 👌!!
Great song and a wonderful performance. Congratulations to all for showing us how moving this song can be. Please put it on a CD. Scala should be playing this.
Fell in love with the Tony Bennett /Aretha Franklin version, then came across this, makes me cry, simply awesome! Can't stop listening to the music playing.
Magnifique ,émouvant!!!Passer après Sinatra et....faire ce petit bijou.On ne peut être qu'admiratif.Un duo Sinatra /Helen Charlston avec ce coeur un rêve!
A wonderful performance of a most beautiful song and a fantastic arrangement by Alexander L´Estrange. The choir and the soloist, Helen, truly excelled. Well done to everyone involved!!
Lyrics: How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last? How do you keep the song from fading Too fast? How do you lose yourself to someone And never lose your way? How do you not run out of new things To say? And since you know we're always changing How can it be the same? And tell me how year after year You're sure your heart won't fall apart Each time you hear his name? I know the way I feel for you is now or never The more I love, the more that I'm afraid That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows With any luck then I suppose The music never ends I know (how do you keep the music playing) The way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last) The more I love the more that I'm afraid (how do you keep the song from fading) That in your eyes I may not see forever (Keep the song from fading) Forever If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes With any luck then I suppose The music never ends (source: LyricFind)
Wowsers! And other American low-brow but meaning-well euphemisms. I was a singer in the Cantare Chorale and wish we had thought of this, but after hearing this most perfect version (and I have heard Tony and Frank, and Barbra, and well, you know) I am cornswogeled and gollywhomped. Just a most perfecto arrangement of notes and voices that have ever graced any venue, even a cathedral. And I once toured there but they were not there. Well, I am 81, so they were probably not born yet. Okay. They are all whippersnappers. But I loved what they did. I forgot the !!!!
Everything about this is perfection! Thank you to all the artists who brought this to existence, from the composer to all the participants. I've listened to this multiple times since its debut. It takes me to another realm, a better place to decompress and enjoy the beauty that still exists in the world.
Music is a universal language that can speak to and touch our hearts. In this terrible time it can can help us mourn for our loved ones that have lost their lives. It can help us heal. Thank you for the music!
Incredible coherence, proportions and fluidity of sound. Pure magic. Your harmoniousness delicately hugs the listener and simultaneously caresses his heart. Greetings to the indispensable conductor Stephen Layton.
God i miss singing in choir. Of course my local church choir cannot be compared to them lol. But to sing together as one, no ego, making your own voice blended perfectly with the others making (if done right) a beautiful harmony..
I've listened to this young beautiful voice so many times that l go to bed most nights thinking "what a voice" God is praised for giving a young lady such a beautiful voice.
![Come to me - Ivo Antognini [Session Video] | The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yEYHEXeUZ8Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Why cannot younger generations embrace these truly exceptional voices? We’re lost without those who can carry it on
When I was a young boy I heard this song performed by James Ingram and Patti Austin and immediately loved it. Now I hear it sang by an angel and a choir of angels. I cried when I heard this arrangement just because it was so beautiful performed! Thanks for sharing your talent ❤️
Hai la possibilità di inviarmi il testo di questo brano sublime? Te ne sarei tanto grato!
This young woman is simply magic. If this does not touch your very heart, you may no longer be breathing.
i love it, it alwasy make me cry too i remember my dad he loves this and followed this choir when he was alive
What a beautiful arrangement of this song…She has an absolutely beautiful voice! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
She is. I can vouch for that;)
🎯💕
Somebody call an ambulance!!! Lol
Try +66
If Heaven has a sound, it´s the sound of this choir.
Fantastic 🙂
I do not know how many times I have listened to this, and it NEVER gets old. Magnificent!
Same! I keep coming back to it because I can’t get it out of my head!
Same
Same here.
Is it available on a CD/Stream somewhere other than here?
Same
Her voice, phrasing and interpretation are impeccable!!!!♡
Her low notes have an unpleasant nasal tone. Lots of aaaih. Old English nasty ash. Beautiful upper register, though, and she kills the lyrics. Choir is magnificent, as usual.
I am caring for my wife of 50 years, who has dementia. She is still beautiful but does not like me anymore. Thank you and God bless you all.
What a profound comment. I’m so moved. Caring for someone with dementia is incredibly challenging, and it sounds like you’re going through a very tough time. Your dedication and love are truly admirable, even when things are difficult. Remember to take care of yourself, too, and lean on support systems when you need them. You’re doing an amazing job. Sending you strength and compassion.
Good sir. Please remember that it is the dementia talking not your beautiful wife. I’m betting she still loves you with all her heart. My best to both of you.
When you both meet in heaven one day, she will show you just how much she loved you always and forever. Don't be sad. Everything will be ok.
Trust me, she is there inside her body, and the connection she made with you is there and vital in her heart. I promise you.
I’m sorry that’s going on Mr Keuer. God give you strength during this very trying time.
Her singing and the arrangement sent chills up my spine. -so very, very moving...
The best version in as far as Im concerned. Helen Charlston made the big difference. The choir is fantastic. Their voices sounds like singing angels.
VERY BEAUTIFUL 😢THANKYOU ❤
Helen Charlton deserves to be heard much clearer and louder in this beautiful Michel Legrand song!!
Proof that God exists for who else could make this possible!
she preformed this song later...due to her youth in her voice makes this version superb
the young choir with the young Helen superb
She brings a lot of energy,love and happiness into this song. What a beautiful talent.
Se conosci il testo di questo brano, puoi farmi la cortesia di inviarmelo? Grazie di cuore!
Can’t get over this. I keep on replaying.
I'm with you!
Me too … it’s utterly gorgeous 😢
This choral arrangement is breathtakingly lovely!
The choral sound was nothing short of breathtaking. The harmony and clarity of each note created a truly magical experience. The soloist did an extraordinary delivery---lovely, lovely voice! ♥️
Her voice is Angelic.Pure unadulterated pitch perfect voice I have the privilege of hearing.I can’t wait for her to graduate&start a recording career.
She's more than started since this video was made @teddzik278 - she's just won a Gramophone Award!

John,, there are many versions of this most beautiful romantic song by M L , with lyrics by Alan & Marylin Bergman .
Try Arojo Paco ,,,or a piano version by Emile Pandolfi ,,,or a duo by Nana Mouskouri and Harry Belafonte
What a lovely tribute
Did you hear the version of James Ingram in duet with Patty Austin? There can't be any more yearning voices ringing with each other.
Music by Michel Legrand

Como eu queria a partitura desse arranjo tão belo, para mim Essa foi a melhor versão dessa música, não me canso de escutá-la, linda demais! gratidao 🙏
What an absolutely beautiful and moving performance! I can’t stop listening to it!
Beautiful harmony and control. Beautiful voice, that soloist has.
I can't imagine a better soloist, a more extraordinary chorus and a more sensitive conductor for this exciting song.
This is choral music at a stratospheric level: it doesn't happen very often to have this opportunity. Carpe diem :-)
Perhaps Barbra Streisand could perform this as well
Streisand did.

Barbra did but the arrangement is different. I meant exactly same arrangement
@@dalerider3124 go to youtube put in Barbara Streisand and song title. That's it. It's from her"The Movie Album"
Stephen Layton is a really gifted conductor who always brings out the best of the young voices. Magnificent.
When the full choir comes in on the second chorus, that made me cry. How I miss choir & showchoir.
Simply made an already beautiful song even more beautiful.

She died last month.
It breaks my heart into 1000 pieces that she didn’t know of this wonderful version…she would have loved it.

Now she knows I promise… probably enjoying it somewhere ❤

My heart goes out to you, sincerely...

No one, but no, one sings “The more I love, the more I am afraid” better than Helen …… just stunning, telling the story … wow
I LOVE the accoustics of their performance. What a beautiful job they all did.❤❤❤
Wow, Helen’s voice just gave me goosebumps
I'm speechless. This is how you define the word "perfection." What a masterful performance.
Beautiful❣️

As a member of the Self-Isolation Choir I totally endorse everything said here. Truly sublime!
I am a huge fan, Helen. Loved your performances in Gabrieli's Christmas Oratorio, as well.
Each time I have listened to this Trinity College Choir version, including Helen's angelic voice, I simply cannot stop the tears rolling down my cheeks such is its beauty.

I started the Self Isolation Choir course today learning this sublime song with the fabulous Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and the wonderful Helen Charlston. We’ve had the privilege and joy of singing with Helen and Fieri for many of our SIC works.
wow.......I was not expecting this to be this good. Really well done guys.
Tears are flowing through my eyes listening to this beautiful rendition
One of the loveliest things I have listened to in years - thank you so much.... keep doing it!
Thanks for bringing tears to my eyes with this gorgeous performance!
I am literally crying. This is incredible!
Me too.. cant stop crying
Like a musical prayer to love...
Helen's youtube videos are shall I say challenging. Can't seem to find videos as wonderful as this. Absolutely sensationally moving. ⚘️
I had the pleasure of hearing this choir at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, Ontario during their North American tour. They were wonderful that evening, but this piece surpasses even that performance. A simply magical rendition of a beautiful arrangement. I have listened to this every day for the last two weeks - can’t get enough of the piece and the angelic performance by Helen Charlston. Incredible!!!
Astonishingly beautiful performance.
Bravo to the Prime Vocal Performer, of course but the whole Choir is just audibly stunning.
Thank You All
Absolutely beautiful - thanks so much to Helen, Stephen Layton and everyone involved in this stunning recording. I can't believe I've never heard this song before and can't wait to learn it, with Helen as soloist, with the Self-Isolation Choir. If you love it too, why not sign up to the course with SIC?
TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT - I wish the instructor could have this group cut a full album and DVD, etc., of music like this. Superb training not only in the music but the studio techniques. BRAVO.
One of the most beautiful rendition I heard, her expression is captivating.
I agree. This is the only rendition that brings tears to your eyes every time.
A beautiful voice that melts one’s heart…music such like this transcends time.
Having sung in choirs since 12, to hear this group was precious to me...and the song echoes my feelings. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning arrangement and amazing vocal harmony of this beautiful song. Gives me chills every time I hear it. ❤
wow !!!! no words needed !
OMG!!! Wow, this is soooooo beautiful made me cry in delight and awe
heartstopping...
That's what beauty is supposed to do...
Trinity College, thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful music! It is Thanksgiving here in the United States today. I wish you all many blessed days to come, and much to be thankful for. 🇺🇸
No words can possibly do justice to this performance. All I can say is that it moved me, as others have posted, to tears. Utterly, utterly beautiful. To Helen Charlston and choir and choral director, thank you so very much

Great song and a wonderful performance. Congratulations to all for showing us how moving this song can be. Please put it on a CD. Scala should be playing this.
Fell in love with the Tony Bennett /Aretha Franklin version, then came across this, makes me cry, simply awesome! Can't stop listening to the music playing.
😭😭 I have no words to describe what I just saw and heard. I would really like to have this sheet music. Thank you!
Magnifique ,émouvant!!!Passer après Sinatra et....faire ce petit bijou.On ne peut être qu'admiratif.Un duo Sinatra /Helen Charlston avec ce coeur un rêve!
A wonderful performance of a most beautiful song and a fantastic arrangement by Alexander L´Estrange. The choir and the soloist, Helen, truly excelled. Well done to everyone involved!!
Soooo angelic....wonderful, pitch perfect...so amazing! Very very heavenly. Thank you for showcasing such enormous talents!
Lyrics:
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
Too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things
To say?
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart won't fall apart
Each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
I know (how do you keep the music playing)
The way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(how do you keep the song from fading)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
(Keep the song from fading)
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends

Wowsers! And other American low-brow but meaning-well euphemisms. I was a singer in the Cantare Chorale and wish we had thought of this, but after hearing this most perfect version (and I have heard Tony and Frank, and Barbra, and well, you know) I am cornswogeled and gollywhomped. Just a most perfecto arrangement of notes and voices that have ever graced any venue, even a cathedral. And I once toured there but they were not there. Well, I am 81, so they were probably not born yet. Okay. They are all whippersnappers. But I loved what they did. I forgot the !!!!
Everything about this is perfection! Thank you to all the artists who brought this to existence, from the composer to all the participants. I've listened to this multiple times since its debut. It takes me to another realm, a better place to decompress and enjoy the beauty that still exists in the world.
What a great lead vocal!
The entire thing is mesmerizing! Love you all!
Waow, still cant stop listening to this
Music is a universal language that can speak to and touch our hearts. In this terrible time it can can help us mourn for our loved ones that have lost their lives. It can help us heal. Thank you for the music!
Incredible coherence, proportions and fluidity of sound. Pure magic. Your harmoniousness delicately hugs the listener and simultaneously caresses his heart. Greetings to the indispensable conductor Stephen Layton.
Worthy of a Bach's chorale. Simply beautiful.
God i miss singing in choir. Of course my local church choir cannot be compared to them lol.
But to sing together as one, no ego, making your own voice blended perfectly with the others making (if done right) a beautiful harmony..
I've listened to this young beautiful voice so many times that l go to bed most nights thinking "what a voice" God is praised for giving a young lady such a beautiful voice.
I miss my choir deeply. You said it perfectly.
I'm getting goosebumps!!! Beautiful !!! Stunning !!! This song just toughes my heart 😊
