Oh, a favorite that I haven’t heard in a long time! So wonderful to listen to the songs of that time. Lyrics that had meaning. So not like what we hear today. Many “artists” today just throw words together that make absolutely no sense. You are lucky if you can even hear the words – on second thought, best if you don’t hear the words!!
