Most people have never even heard of this song. If you love Ray this is pure gold, one of his best and stands up against any of the greatest songs ever recorded, in my humble opinion anyways. Elvis...Sinatra...Ray.....the sounds of heaven!

Ummm...Kind of insulting to the old sun there, can't we admit? The old perpetuator of life. Supplying our energy, heat and light. Commands our days and our nights.

My dad sang it, too. Along with "Born to Lose." He was a Marine who saw a lot of action and lost a lot of buddies. Was humbled and baffled by the mystery of life that he was still alive, narrowly escaping death countless times. He finally died in 1994 and buried in a military graveyard with his buddies and had a 21 gun salute. Those were his final wishes. A very brave and noble man. And I will always love him very much.
