I was reading comments at yt when I posted it, and one person said he thought the last "stanza" was the worst part of the song. Well, that's why we have horse races.

I'm sorry too. She had been living in another state for many years and had a whole new set of friends. She would have gotten a kick out of me showing up and them all saying "Who is this guy?"

But -- of course -- I would rather that I could have seen her smiling face once more.
