Such a beautiful song...I almost picked it too, however, there is no way I could have written better lyrics than Simon/Garfunkel, ........or You!!! Congratulations, John!! ~ Love, Carrie

YOu certainly picked the right song choice for this poetic type of song. It was one of the songs I had my eye on, If I do it, I will likely take a comic approach with it. Good job, john! LUv, Andrea
