And Station and Shut up et al I agree totally with "Too Late for Prayin' " - and there again he really pulls out the stops in his masterful singing.. .

Hello Bru ! - I agree completely with Clouds of Loneliness - so sad.

And with losing Merry, "our song" was "Beautiful"; had that sung at our Wedding and played at Merry's funeral, so Char I agree on this one big time- it breaks me up major.... but also makes me smile..

Bo(rder) I agree at the end of Too Late for Prayin, even if I hold out til then, In the You Tube vistory version showing Jesus t the end with with what appears to be a tear in his eye and I lose it right there for sure, if I made it to begin with... . And of too many more to list - one that stands out currently, two actually, again (sorry guys) fron losing Merry, are: before she passed - "Your Love's Return", and now after she is gone - I am a basket case listening to: "The Last Time I Saw Her Face"
- her eyes were bathed in starlight, and her hair hung long....
oh Lord here I go again God Bless Gordon and his crystal ball into our hearts, and his foretelling lyrical paintbrush....how does he KNOW that what he writes is in our hearts, too....? I guess its no miracle to to be able to write what all men and women of passion feel in their hearts.... but it sure is a gift.

Hi Steve,
I have been reading all the posts and wanted to add my prayers of sympathy at your loss. And I echo your thoughts: I thank God for Gord. It brings tears to my eyes thinking how his songs express what is in our hearts (happiness and delight, as well as sadness). I am so thankful to be part of a group of people that appreciate his gift and each other.

Once again, please accept my condolences...
