Listening to you with my eyes closed and my ears wide open ;-) Beautiful song of Nancy… beautifully covered by you my dear friend!

[CurtisMateer]

I like how this song has become so covered so soon. (Nicely sung and played too as always Babs). It makes me think of how artists such as yourself who cover songwriters on YT and choose certain ones to become new 'hits' or YT standards could enjoy covering this song by Anette one fellow in the USA has done a fine version of already...I mention it because it sis beautiful and special. You might enjoy hearing it too if you haven't already so I'll send it to you now.

@CurtisMateer Thank you, Pete! All of Nancy's fans are always so eager to sing her songs! I think her lyrics are lovely and I feel at peace when I sing them. I feel the same way about Desmond's songs - they are really special (where did he disappear to again? lol! I know he will be back soon!). I love the song by Anette that Ron covered! He is so talented and so is she! I will check out her channel. Thank you for sending it to me! Have a wonderful week! <3 Babs
