“No Regrets” by Edith Piaf

What do these have in common? How are they different? --No! No regrets/ No! I will have no regrets/ All the things/ That went wrong/ For at last I have learned to be strong --No! No regrets/ No! I will have no regrets/ For the grief doesn't last/ It is gone/ I've forgotten the past And the memories I had/ I no longer desire/ Both the good and the bad/ I have flang in a fire/ And I feel in my heart/ That the seed has been sown/ It is something quite new/ It's like nothing I've known --No! No regrets/ No! I will have no regrets/ All the things that went wrong/ For at last I have learned to be strong --No! No regrets/ No! I will have no regrets/ For the seed that is new/ It's the love that is growing for you “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” 2.
