During his last major concert, John sang this simple yet tender love ballad, which he wrote as a Tribute to his friend Marty and her husband. Marty was 93 yrs old when John sang this song in 1995. I’ve always loved the words and decided to try it out myself. One of the greatest love songs written by one of the best songwriters ever!
Here is the recording from today.

Words:

I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one

Imagine the morning no longer alone
The arms of another, a place to belong
No longer the struggle, no longer the night
And ever becoming in the quickening light

To see in the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song

In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?

And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight
Somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun
I hear them singing a song for all lovers
A song for the two hearts beating only as one
A song for the two hearts beating only as one.
