Cohenites!
May I ask you to transcript the lyrics of "My Oh My"?
I personally can't do that, but I believe, it should be rather easy for a native speaker. Plus a pleasure to listen again the least known song of Leonard Cohen.

Thank you!

In Berlin we use this phrase when something is extremely beautiful or superb . Hope it helps, I have not heard the full song.

Here you are, Goldin - this is what I hear:

Feel the spirit trembling
Beauty passing by
Feel the spirit trembling
Beauty passing by
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my

Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my
Held you for a little while
My oh my oh my

Some things got no ending
Ending don't apply
Rainbow keep on bending
Clear across the sky
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my
Held you for a little while
My oh my oh my

Some things got no ending
Ending don't apply
Some things got no ending
Ending don't apply
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my
Held you for a little while
My oh my oh my

Feel the spirit trembling
Beauty passing by
Feel the spirit trembling
Beauty passing by
Held you for a little while baby
My oh my oh my
Held you for a little while
My oh my oh my

Kudos to you, Rachel! Now, when I know all the words, the song sounds much smarter to me!

many thanks from me too Rachel

And, me, Rachel... though I haven't heard the song, yet.

Thanks, Rachel!

I think this has to be about his music career and love of music, not about love of a woman.
