Whitney's voice is what made that song so beautiful. She performed it well. But the song itself (the lyrics), meh.
Most of Taylor's songs by comparison tell a story. There is more to the actual words.
SO off topic, but you need to know- like many great songs, Dolly Parton actually wrote it and many years later let Whitney record it. Two totally different versions but in Dollys you can feel the emotion and understand the lyrics better. If you quickly got tired of Whitney's ponderous version, give Dollys a listen. You'll gain a new appreciation. Bonus points if you watch the movie from whence it came- best little Whorehouse in Texas, if only for the semi nude all men's locker room performance.
Where the hell did all the great movies go? REVERIE.
