WOW this is fantastic!

This the most heart felt that I have ever heard. The duet was an added attraction!

Super job on this!

Hi Robert,

I wondered about putting it up but Shirley was ok with it and her son Peter was also so we went ahead.
I hope others can relate to it.
Thanks for listening.

Cheers.

Hello, Richard

This song has a really nostalgic melody.
I feel as if I heard it somewhere when I was a child.
And your instrumentation choices have ingenuity as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Richard and Shirley-Louise,

I absolutely loved this!

I'm a big fan of waltzes and really enjoyed travelling along with you on this one. The lyrics are sad but they so aptly reflect the essence of life. There's a very timeless quality in your writing. Even now, nearly 10 minutes after listening, I can still here the song really clearly in my mind.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening.

All the best to you both,
Noel

A sad song.

Sounds like Shirley has been threatening to leave for a long time... smile

This really sticks in your head...

I agree with my friend Floyd. Very well done, but very sad. Very well written RichMac!! Enjoyed this melancholy song! Take care. Greg
