What do you think is the most romantic song you have ever heard?

Adele's cover is lovely. But have you heard the original version by its poet/songwriter?
Yes I have. I’ve never been a Bob Dylan fan but I heard this for the first time the other day and and actually liked it. Of course I still like Adele’s version better. I sing to this song and play a sax solo in the middle. It’s a song I learned to sing to my mom and I sang it for her at the nursing home.
 

Trio Los Panchos.
Song: Solamente Una Vez

For non spanish speaking people.
Only Once

Only once
I loved in my life,
Only once
And nothing more.

One time, nothing more, in my garden
Shone the hope,
The hope that lights the road
Of my loneliness.

Once, nothing more,
The soul surrenders,
With sweet and total renunciation.

And when that miracle fulfills
The wonder of love
There are festival bells
Singing in my heart.

 
One of my favorites as well-although I like the video version that takes place in a town where we used to live (Woodside,CA) at a restaurant where we used to eat frequently (Alex`s Mountain House.) My kids went to school with Neil Young`s son Ben,who was disabled. His caregiver drove him to school every day in a tricked out van with the plates "MobilBen".She had pink hair (way before it was a "thing") and wore some pretty crazy outfits lol.

What a surprise @Knight ! Their music was played at Mom's funeral. Long story behind our love for their music.
