But Wait, There’s More
Richard S. Levick, Esq., Chairman & CEO, LEVICK

It used to be so natural
(Used to be…)
To talk about forever
But ‘used to be’s’ don’t count anymore
They just lay on the floor
‘Til we sweep them away
(You don’t say you need me)
And you don’t sing me love songs
You don’t bring me flowers anymore
(You don’t bring me flowers anymore)

– Sung by Barbara Streisand & Neil Diamond
