Beautiful ballad about a love that cannot last. It’s been covered by Barbra
Streisand, Elvis Presley, and Neil Diamond to name just three, but for me Buffy's
versions are always the best of all!
This transcribes a wonderful 2011 live performance from Bluesfest

You're not a dream you're not an Angel you're a man

Yes we're different worlds a-part we're not the same
