I'm 58 now. .My Dad took me aged 12 to see Neil at the Sydney Showground in Australia. I thought I was too cool to be at his concert 😄 yet im so grateful I got to witness Neil Diamond. What a master-class in pure emotion 👏. The lyrics in his songs have had me in tears for years. This song was very underrated 💎.
