It's here. Here is where it's going to stay.
The Barry Manilow version of this song was not the first - David Martin did that. But Manilow made this song his own, and this is how he did it. First, he sang the hell out of it. He just did. No argument. But what he added - the sweet whistle at the beginning, a few lyrical changes - really made the song into the classic song that it is.
Credit, however, needs to go to the original songwriters - Christian Arnold, Geoff Morrow, and David Martin - who really captured in their lyrics what being in love really is. It is one of the most pure and beautiful representations of this in music.
