Hi will be waiting ther for you . Love has no end it goes on after dead . My women pastaway when i was 24 now 6 years ago . I know she will be waiting ther
I was 11 in 1972. The words of this song hit me later in life. My father passed two weeks before my 38th birthday. His funeral was on the day before my birthday. It poured rain that whole day of the funeral, like the sky was crying with me. There's just no good time to lose someone you love.
I was born is 69. I was deeply moved by this song. My dad passed at the age of 61. I was only 38. Like you and so many, I felt lost and alone. What comforts me is the universality. Not one person is not affected by loss. "Want do we do?". Collectively. No one is immune to pain. Sure that doesn't minimize your own grief, but instead makes you cognizant others may be better equipped to comfort the mourners or those experiencing grief as they were themselves equipped to handle it and now can help another. Bless you. And, God never left His alone. Hugs.
I was 19 when this wonderful song was recorded. I felt so grown up then. Now suddenly I'm 71 and I don't know where all those years went. Looking back across the years, I had so much growing up yet to do, and now I'm the older generation.
When I was a child in the seventies I always used to play outside with friends and there was an old slim man named Jack he always wore a farmer’s cap. He used to stand outside his terrace house watching us play. He never made any kind of facial expression and he was all alone To this day i still think of him and I wished i just said hello to him ✌🏼❤️
If you ever feel alone, come to the comment section of this video and see that we all have each other. None of us are ever truly alone. Love this song, so sweet and melancholy. I used to hear this on the radio and try to fumble through it on my piano. I hope if you are reading this comment you know that you are not alone. May God bless and comfort you all.
Mismo 1972, yo en mi primer trabajo (Lima-Perú), con toda la ilusión de la juventud, a mi adorado compañero de vida ni lo conocía, el haciendo una maestría en Finanzas en Bélgica ((Bruselas), la vida circunstancialmente nos unió, fuimos muy felices, hasta que el 25 de julio del 2020, la magia se rompió, un beso hasta el cielo Ronald Filinich, nunca te olvidaré!!!
I was alone for years till my beautiful Rosemary entered my life 35 years ago. She passed 9 months ago in May. Alone again. I miss her everyday. My Rosemary!
May be the word "happy" is not the right one to describe the real emotion this song can arise, but the thing is that when you are getting old even sad but beautiful songs like this can make you happy, because you realize that at that time you were really happy being surrounded by your family and friends and also neighbours that I in the meantime have unfortunately passed away. I wish you all real "happiness" in your present❤
It’s January, 2023 and as I continue to listen to this song over the years, I think of both of my parents who have both passed away. My life has never been the same and I am left with a broken heart that will never heal. 💔 I love you Mom and Dad and I miss you both. 😢 🙏
There's so many of us. Orphaned later in life - just the way life is meant to be. If you're lucky, you will have so many great memories to cherish. I know I do, even when it wasn't all a bed of roses. But I'm truly grateful for what my parents gave me. I try to pass those many good things on to my children - just the way life is meant to be, if you're lucky enough to be blessed with children. It's allright to mourn. To miss your parents. To feel sad about the loss. But remember: it's a good sign. The feeling tells you that life has worked out just the way it should. Count your blessings. And know that you're not alone. Naturally.
My Beloved Dad passed away in 1977 when I was only 17. This song always reminds me of that time when my heart was shattered. I had this on a 45 and would just play it over and over. I miss you my Sweet Daddy. See you in Heaven.
I was 16 in 1977. My father passed two weeks before my 38th birthday. His funeral was on the day before my birthday. It poured rain that whole day of the funeral, like the sky was crying with me. There's just no good time to lose someone you love.
@@rozchristopherson648 so sorry for the loss of your Beloved Dad. Being a young girl, my Dad was my Prince and Hero. He donated his body to science so my last vision of him was laying on his bedroom floor with paramedics pretending to revive him. I was young but I knew he wasn't alive. No goodbyes or even a hug. I had no closure and I'm still waiting for my hug. Here I am at 64 years old, grieving the greatest man I ever knew. Fortunately my Sweet Momma lived until I was 50. She truly was my Rock and Comfort. My profile pic is my little sisters and I a year after Dad's passing. My life was changed forever in 1977. Heaven was Blessed but we were broken. I Love You Daddy 💝💝💝
@@orlandosoto6080 so sorry for all your losses. My aunt was the last of 13 children. She always said she hated to be the only one left. She finally was reunited with her family about 7 years ago. I always told her to live her life with joy bc she would eventually be with them again. I truly believe she finally embraced her life again just like you need to. My faith tells me I will spend eternity with my loved ones, one beautiful day. God Bless You and always try to live life to the fullest. Our loved ones are just around the bend. 😇🥰😇
My Dad died when I was 9 .I remember I cried when my father died...Alone all my life for the love of such a great man.I m 85 now and have missed him all my life😢 Thanks for such a poignant song Gilbert🙏🥰
I know how you feel. I was a young girl of 17 when my Beloved Dad passed away in 1977. I'm 64 and despite moments of joy here and there, the crushing loss of my hero has forever changed me. The yearning to just see him again, has never went away. God Bless our Precious Dads
I understand completely. My amazing Father died when I was 11 years old, in 1975. My Mom and Dad were 42 years old when he passed away from a sudden Heart Attack. I dreamed about his passing 3 days before it actually happened. My Mom fell apart and couldn't even dial our push button phone. I had to handle the whole thing, which is what I did in my dream. God truly prepared me for what I had to do and I'm grateful for it. Four years later, the last dream I had of him, he said, I have to go now. He hugged me and disappeared. Fast forward to 2023, I had an NDE, and I got to see my Dad, and his Parents, my wonderful Grandparents. Dad smiled at me, walked up to me, and spun me around and I came back. Not my time, but just seeing them even briefly, did me a world of good. It was indescribable, but so amazing. I miss all 3 of them, and the pain of losing them has never left me. I was just too young. However knowing I will get to spend eternity with them in Heaven, gives me such great peace.
I was 12 when Gilbert sang this song. It seemed like it spoke to me. It’s hard to be locked inside your own head. I realized that I wasn’t alone, even if it felt that way. Its still one of my favorite songs 🙂
Yeah, but you're just repeating what every generation says about the next generation. People of the 1940s said that about the music in the 50s, and the 50s about the 60s....and so on. Comments like this have been taken place since Ancient Greece. Adults just seem to forget what it was like to be young, and todays kids will become adults and say the same about tomorrows kids.
This song make cry, my husband passed, my Son also passed, they fought the good fight, I believe that will see them again soon and very soon when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoice that will be when wevall see Jesus we will sing and shout of victory !
I am sorry for your losses. I do know that pain. I really believe God has carried me through some things I did not have strength to endure...... God bless
My father died when I was 14. I memorized parts of this song and sang it after his funeral over and over again. Although it is a sad tune the melody is a peaceful one and it helped me with my grief.
Classic beauty: - music, - Lyrics, - the voice of an artist who simply sings and talks about something important. I was 13, 14 years old then and I miss this beauty. God bless you, Mr. O'Sullivan!
Beautiful song ❤. Song reminds me of my. Beautiful wife. Judy ❤. I miss her so much ❤❤😂. I love you Judy. I. Miss you so much Yobo. I love you for ever and always. I love you Judy ❤❤😂🎉
64 here. That takes me back to Dad driving me to hockey practice on A.M. radio!! CKLW...The Big 8 !!! Life was still wide open ! Miss you, Mom, and Dad... every day. Thank you for all you did for us.
This generation don't have any great songs. They don't have the love songs and song like this stuff who had meant something. It's the words is in the words. The words have a meaning that's a message. And the music and a message in the words today's music aint got no message. There's no message in this stuff. It makes no sense. They do whatever coming to mind to sell records to sell the songs that's all they care about.
Oh brother. GenX here…This is a clever song with a great hook. Guess what?There are still songwriters doing that. Why do Boomers always have to come to the comments and attempt to elevate their generation by putting down those that came after? Clearly you haven’t actually spent any time exploring the music of the generations that came after you. It’s such an ignorant and pointless boast. As if you had anything to do with it anyway. Also, this generation seems to be the only generation that does this.
Ah yes, "a REAL man" You are a woman or wokey and can tell everybody what you want them to do or what a "Real Man" is ? The millions of men who died in WW1 and WW2 all cried about it.@@Modeltnick
One of the most honest songs ever written. Just tells it as it is in an unpretentious, straightforward manner. At 71 years of age I feel that I am on borrowed time and this song truly strikes a chord. I shall hopefully soon be reunited with the two most important people in my largely miserable life - my Mum and sister....
Listened to this song a trillion billion times before, but never *heard* it until just now. What an absolutely beautiful song! The melody is spectacular! Wow!
Dad died in 71 and I was 21... reminds me so much of Dad and Mom a strong lady she was and the cornerstone of our family...brings back so many memories... thanksgiving
This song came out on the radio when I was a kid and my parents were going through a bad breakup. Kinda tore me up inside- it's a very sad song, but beautifully composed.
My hero, my late Papa loved this quirky song- every time I hear it I relive those great days with my most respectable and handsome Papa- Love you Daddy wherever you are X
In a little while from now If I'm not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off In an effort to Make it clear to whoever Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Were people saying, My God, that's tough She stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about, God in His mercy Oh, if he really does exist Why did he desert me In my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that There are more hearts broken in the world That can't be mended Left unattended What do we do What do we do Alone again, naturally Looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally
Gilbert o, sullivan wrote some lovely songs very underrated brilliant singer song writer, they don't write songs like this anymore the talent isn't there
To all that have loved and lost their heart to deaths cruel sting. We survive for a reason. Only God knows, but if we are patient. God will reveal his will. Praying for you and all your families.
It's a shame RU-vid was bought by our evil rulers because it's a great place for things like this song that I haven't heard for decades and it just pops up.
