REALLY NICE Post, Bob! (like the song clip too)
oops…was adding this too…but it jumped ahead! The song should be titled at top “True Love WAITS”…sad how they missed that important word!
by the way…for anyone who is wondering…Yes, I DO realize the song Buddy Holly sang was indeed “True Love WAYS”…but I am in the “WAITS” camp…just sayin’
