Can you get any better than Jon?

I know it's proobably been sais before (probably by me) but can songlyrics touch you as much as those by Jon anderson and Yes?

There is a passage in "In the presence of" that really gets to me.

As the door was open wide
There inside was a diamond chair
Where I sat when I was young
I wrote down the words

Only when the young at heart
Can enter the real world
This chance I’ve waited for
For you to see

If I had chances I would spend them with you
To hold you close and let your love surround me
Deeper than before

However, the words are only really as good as the person singing them. Jons delivery of these words is spine tingling. When I first heard Yes perform this live on the "Magnification" tour I was literally moved to tears. They meant and mean a lot to me. Reminds me of someone very special everytime I hear them. I hope that person knows what I mean.......I'm sure they do.
