Regrets

I cannot see this word without having that very annoying song echo somewhere in the back of my brain. "Regrets, I've had a few...." It's a barroom song popular in the 60's and not a good one at all. Andy Williams? Lorne Greene? Cannot recall. DH suggests Frank Sinatra; I believe he is correct.

I read a captivating editorial today that held this line:

"No one can reach my age with their eyes even partly open and not have hundreds of regrets."

How true is that.
