"There's never been a time where there's been a fork in my road."

BOOM!

Those words hit me hard. I think what he's saying is that he has not had a lot of choices in his life. He just carries on.

Yet I have had so many without appreciating how lucky I was to have them.

And then there's that word - "regret." In my vocabulary, that word comes with a lot of emotions, a lot of baggage. Maybe Frank Sinatra had the right perspective on regrets?

Beware

Beware

Beware

Seems like love should be easier to bear

But it's such a heavy load (A heavy load)

Worldwide traveler, you ain't been nowhere

Till you've traveled down love's road

I know I may be just a stranger (Just a stranger)

Lover, let me warn you there's the danger

Of the fork in love's road

Beware

The danger is there

Ho, ho, ho (Danger)

Onе way is for those who go along

That way tempts a girl like mе

Oh, but lovers don't try to make it on your own (Don't try it, don't try it, don't try it)

You don't want the misery

Oh, oh, why didn't I see the sign

Ooh, ooh, before I left my love behind

At the fork in love's road

Beware

The danger is there

Ho, ho, ho

If there is some thing that you don't see eye to eye (Eye to eye)

You better think before you tell your love goodbye (Goodbye)

'Cause your path may never cross again

You make sure you take the same bend

At the fork in love's road, baby

Beware

The danger is there

Watch the fork in the road

You better beware

(The fork in the road)
