Sometimes I wonder if we'd never met would I have been spared those regrets , or would the story have been near enough the same, Would I have made the same mistakes in a different time and a different place, would I still be the cause of so much pain, and if we only knew where our road was leading to would we have taken the chances that we did , or would we have chosen the easy way in the hopes of a better day, I really have no answers to this.

This song reminds me of that one line. "I wish there were a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." -Andy, 'The Office'.
Thank You for this song. I enjoyed listening. It reminds me of a telephone call I received from a friend dying of cancer in an old folks home in Hendon, north London, alone. It must be terrible. It all makes my laundry list of medical woes seem like chicken feed.
Well, I was about to go to bed (long sleepless night, it’s the proverbial 3:30am for me), but saw you’d just uploaded a new original. Always a precious reason to stop what I’m doing, and always glad I did. Such a deep, beautiful song. Your picking is always better than the last, your lyrics always so adept, more thoughtful and relatable with each original you craft… God bless you, Frank Watkinson. 😊
Here a mexican random guy, sorry if my grammar is not god at all I am having bad days, and i found your song, after that, I hug my cat, and now i feel a little better now, thank you
I'm 17. I hope I'll become a good musician just like you. Your songs put me in such a peaceful mood. Could you play The Sore Feet Song by Ally Kerr? ♥️
Thank you very much mr watkison for sharing your beautiful songs that speaks of love of friendship between beings warmth and poetry may god bless you thank you 🌼 🌺
Beautiful song!!! God love you!!! There is only one path in this life, theres are no what ifs. God have only one path planned for us so we can grow to became what He want us to be and help us grow spiritually. The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. -Zephania 3:17
I'm 25 years old, drinking a gin and tonic all alone... I'm crying listening to your song. This came at the right time and right place. Thank you Frank...
This is a well crafted song, There is no answer, we're in the mystery but the flow of the writing and passage of time across the verses the flow to the structure of the chords/melody is immaculately crafted. Nice picking mate and great songwriting. Touched my heart, that's good honest yodelling fine sir.
You’re a beautiful human, Frank. Thank you for just spilling out your personality and heart through this music. I look forward to finding time to do just what you’re doing now. I’m 30 and I only pick up the guitar once a month now, but my heart misses it. You’re an inspiration.
Regrets... no known cure. Beautiful, and moving. Like so many of your originals, this one too touches the heart and spirit. Thank you for sharing it. xxx
Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself through your music. Through this song, I was able to sense your wisdom, compassion, humility and kindness. Your presentation and expression while playing evokes an extremely emotional response, since you channel your own emotions and feelings into every note that you play. Your music is truly powerful, to the extent that I felt the need to pause for a while after listening to one of your songs, in order to process my own feelings and thoughts. I wish you the best throughout the rest of your journey.
i stopped playing guitar for a couple months and im really trying to get back into it and seeing you play such beautiful music so effortlessly is such an inspiration to me and being accompanied with soothing vocals makes it all the better, thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world!
Anyone in their right mind would be far more devastated if you left us than if some royalty did. Just saying. You contribute far more to the good of society than they ever could.

heart wrenching day for me today
These songs usually make me feel either sad or nostalgic; adding the calm way the guitar is played and the calm voice sometimes helps me to sleep
Ви надзвичайні. Я сбогодні вперше знайшов ваші відео - і не можу передати, як мені сподобалось. Дякую, і привіт з Україні.

These are such amazing songs Frank... Gives me the same deeply emotional, melting on a hot summer night feel of a Dylan ballad

Your voice is so soothing, i'm in love with what you're creating and sharing with us, please never stop
This makes me feel some sort of way, it’s beautiful.
I like how the dog gets up partway through the song, walks a couple of steps, then plops down again. At the 3:50 mark. 😀
That’s Marshall.
Paitiently (most times) waiting for his ‘walkies’ as they do after Frank plays some music… 😊
Another awesome song Frank, all the way around. You never cease to Amaze us. Thank you my friend. Much Love from OHIO ❤
Thanks Tom.
I'm a fan of your original songs, hands down. 😎

Another beautiful song Frank!
You’re a beautiful human, Frank. Thank you for just spilling out your personality and heart through this music. I look forward to finding time to do just what you’re doing now. I’m 30 and I only pick up the guitar once a month now, but my heart misses it. You’re an inspiration.
