I go on to say I will celebrate another day. I go on. If tomorrow tumbles And everything I love is gone, I will face regret all my days, and yet I will still go on.”

It would kill me if someone thought I was singing it about my wife.”
“I kiss you and kiss you, With arms around my own, Ah, how shall I miss you, When, dear, you have grown.”
