"Devoted to You"

A couple days ago, I figured out and notated the vocal melody (and harmony) for the bridges in the Everly Brothers' "Devoted to You" (I'd done the verses a few years ago).  Yester-day, I was still thinking about the song and noticed a feature that's also present in the Beach Boys' version (on Beach Boys' Party!).  In the lines "It can't die because I'm so / Devoted to you," "devoted" is held for more than a full measure, illustrating the degree of "so."
