I like his other song - also covered by the Carpenters - Superstar which he co-wrote with Bonnie Bramlett.
That opening verse sends a chill of longing down me everytime I hear them:
"Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and cleaer
But you're not really here
It's just the radio..."
