Yeah, I'll go up the octave. Ready? Here we go. You got all my love. No, love. (Laughing) I can hear it. You got all my love. That it? Well, it's in the right city!

Whether it rains or pours I'm all yours You've got all my love whether it rains it remains you've got all my love What is love? Boy, (laughs) that's they've been attacking that question for centuries. I don't know. It certainly is a feeling of caring about the welfare and the life of the other person as much as you care for yourself Oh, can you see that? This is just in our first home when we moved to California Oh there's Carri Beth who was born there Chris is the oldest. There's Barry and Stacy I've had dreams where I am I don't know depressed or lonely or hurt or something

and she comes to comfort me actually comes to comfort me The part I love is 'until I die'. Yeah 'let me hold you if you cry' So beautiful Until I die Let me hold you if you cry Be my 1 2 3 forever I'm acutely aware that I'm you know could go any day now but I don't know why it doesn't concern me I'm not afraid of it I have that feeling totally against anything intellectual I am that I'm going to be all right You've got my love whether it rains it remains you've got all my love I think I'm one of those lucky people who got to do for a living what I would have done anyway when you think how lucky I am I got to do what I do play and act silly La Lay whether it rains or pours I'm all yours La Lay

That's all, (big family, big family) all I can say Before we go, will you close your eyes and think about all the people that have meant something to you in your life. Ok.
