Yet another cover version of an old song which I think is great with it's relaxed

feel and soothing voices - hope the dance does it justice and you enjoy both. My idea

was to do an easy dance that didn't take too much brain power so you could sing

along….especially as there are no tags or restarts to worry about - and you certainly

don't have to worry about the tempo!

This version is from the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain .
