17 years ago this evening I said goodbye to my dad for the last time. He used to sing this to my mum and me. What a song, what a voice to take me back to happier times. X
i bought this beautiful song for my girlfriend when we were both 18,most of the words in this song meant a lot to me i loved her so much we were married for 32 years i miss her so much.
This reminds me of my dad who passed a year ago but it felt like yesterday, i remember sitting with him while he was listening to this smiling. I do miss him dearly because he always had this way of making other laugh and just if i could see him again just to spend some more time with him, i also remember this song playing as i carried him to the mortuary car, everytime i would hear this song tears would always come. Everything has changed so much and he was taken away from my life so soon im almost 18 now and i wish he could have lived a little longer. I could not describe the emotional link to this song and i know if i hear it again ill cry all over again over my daddy.....
Now at 68 years old I still love this gentle music as much as I did at 10 -15 years old. So simple but so lovely and what a voice. If you want country at it's best this is the way to sing it ! Been all over the world and heard all kinds of music but this is where my heart lies.
