It's got to be right up there. Great song.

Never knew the site was full of so many Glen Campbell fans!

I dunno. I think this is better. (And that's just limiting myself to Glen Campbell / Jimmy Webb songs.)

Wouldn't say the best song ever written,but agree a great song, alot of great songs came out of the 60s best era for true talent in my opinion.Bob Dylan wrote great songs, The Kinks, Simon and garfunkel, john Lennon, Paul McCartney,Roy Orbison,could go on for ever. love Beautiful south they have some great lyrics.x :wink:
