I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn't know love could so cruel

You tell me mistakes
Are part being young,
But that doesn't right
The wrong that's been done
I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology,





But love is blind
And I was too blind to see

Where can i find more of this kind of performance, with audience laughing and singers telling a story and singing ? Its soo good.

@ravnmavn

They don't make this kind of music anymore because it humbles folks. They don't want people focusing on the good things in life! They like our depression our anxiety and worry and our fear! This kind of music doesn't serve the nefarious powers-that-be! πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ They don't want people to have hope!
