I have loved this song since I was 12 years old. And this version is even better than the original. It's almost as if the song has matured along with me.

if you've seen the wildflowers in Orlando this would seem to fit
I love the acoustic/jaz z feel of this version. First time hearing it but it's just as enjoyable as the radio-played version.
Another song that yanks on the heart strings. Somewhat bittersweet.

One of the very best scotch sipping layback tunes ever.
I used to listen to this song when I was little, I remembered all the lyrics-it's good to hear it again.
Beautiful version of an already great song. Excellent!
I can't get enough of this song!!!
