Did you listen to it? Did you listen to it while looking out your window? Was it raining when you listened to it looking out your window? Did you love it? I love it.
I also love that song because of the lyrics, which are included in neither version I posted. Now that you've heard the music, here are the words, which are equally beautiful.
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
Together, you get this (sung by the composer Burt Bacharach):
Alfie - Burt Bacharach
