Also here (sorry, no video for this one either.) It's extremely clear, especially the catch of breath at the very end.

He's such an emotional singer -- and an emotional man, too, apparently.

Gorgeous rendering of such a sad song. Thanks for posting.

I can definitely hear the tears in his voice. He's always been a favorite, ever since I saw the Tony awards where he won for Phantom.
As seen here, sorry about the lousy video quality.
According to his autobiography "Parcel Arrived Safely, Tied with String", right after this he went into the men's room and wept uncontrollably because he was so relieved and thankful that he won.

I do remember that story from his book. As I said -- an emotional man.
