Such a cheerful song!
Yes, his lyrics are lovingly poetic with thoughtful, emphatic phrases such as… tears being “wasted water”. Funny! Thanks for commenting.
Just love the feel of this song!! Love everything about this one. My dad’s band used to play this at weddings.
Would love to see your dad’s take. An obvious huge memory for a lot of love!💕🥰💕🎼
