Question about song in last episode 'Hello Goodbye'


I loved this show and the final 2 hour episode called "Hello Goodbye" was a great way to end the series. I have a question about a song played toward the very end of this show. It's played as the group visits the Vietnam War Memorial. They visit the memorial and then say goodbye to each other with hugs before they leave. This song is played as they show the various scenes of them hugging and leaving one by one until McMurphy is left alone with her daughter in the very last scene. It sounds like The Eagles and there's a phrase "time to love again" that's repeated and it may be the title of the song, but I'm not sure. This song has stuck in my mind for the last 17 years and I would love to finally find out what it is for sure. If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!!

I don’t know that much about The Eagles, and I don’t remember hearing that song anywhere except in the China Beach episode, but to me, the lyrics sound like “try and love again.” I put that phrase into Google, and sure enough, it pops up as lyrics for and the title of a song by The Eagles. And the lyrics I found on the Web match the lyrics in the CB episode. (If you Google it, putting quotation marks around the phrase ensures that the search will be for those words in that exact order.)
