On June 5, 1982, this song played at our wedding ceremony. Later that evening, it was the first song my husband and I danced to at our reception. It is still as beautiful to us today as it was then. We never tire of hearing it.
Our 40th wedding anniversary is September 8th and this was our song as well, only sung by my best friend's boyfriend who didn't quite have the vocal chops of Dan Fogelberg!
This was the song I walked down the aisle to marry my husband, the love of my life and my love for eternity. In a few minutes it will be March 24th and our 21st wedding anniversary. It seems like we were just married yesterday. I don't know what I have done in this life to deserve him but I thank God for such a blessing. I love you more every day Bobby Jones 💞❤❤💞.
This was the song my boyfriend & I sang at one of my dear friends' wedding on June 9, 1984...40 years yesterday! Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea...a song for the ages and so profound! 💞
3 years have passed since my husband unexpectedly passed away. This year would have been our 40th Anniversary. Songs that have special meaning to us, like this one, somehow brings him back to me in a way...as I close my eyes and remember......
My mother sang for weddings (accompanied on guitar by my ex-step-father for a lot of them. He also harmonized with her and has a beautiful voice himself) all throughout my childhood and the first time I heard this song it was done by her and some of her friends, all of them harmonizing, some playing guitar and her on piano. I remember sneaking down a few steps down from the second floor to sit and listen to them play and sing downstairs. Absolutely beautiful. That was how I heard many beautiful folk songs from this era for the first time. They loved to jam so there was always music, singing, guitars playing or piano, dancing, even clapping along. Or the record player playing Jim Croce, Loggins & Messina, Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Kansas, The Doobie Bros, Allman Bros, Zeppelin, the Who, Billy Joel, Elton John and so many more. So glad I was raised on the best music.
Must have been spectacular to have a mother like yours! I do believe our generation has been graced by the world's greatest music ever.....1958 - 2000??❤
This was our wedding song - and today 36 years later on St. Valentines Day - my husband dug out the old LP - i haven't heard it years - and played it for me. Best present I ever got.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, accompanied by gorgeous scenery. Some of those gardens would sure make a perfect spot for a wedding--if you're lucky enough to find Mr. Right! And this is the perfect song to play, while you're walking down the aisle. RIP, Dan Fogelberg--thanks for the wonderful music!😢💒
I swear I can't listen to this beautiful song without crying. I've tried. I'm lucky enough to have been married to a man I met when I was sixteen years old. I know our time grows shorter everyday, but who can complain when I've been so blessed?
The year was 1987. I was playing piano at Vanessie's of Santa Fe,.....when I took a break and went to the bar. A gentleman complimented me on my rendition of a song I played by John Denver. He said he loved my arrangement. I said "Thank you", and my name is Allen Quintana and I often play here at Vanessie's. He said " It's nice to meet you and you are a great pianist. My name is Dan Fogelberg. My jaw dropped.....and I kept talking with him, but I don't remember anything after his compliment. What a great singer / composer. I love playing his songs.....I hope I do them justice. Thank you......Dan. Allen.
Which John Denver song did you do? I met John when he and the Mitchell Trio played our Homecoming concert in October in 1966! He'd lived Texas as an "Air Force Brat," and I spent 3 years of my youth in the shadow of Carswell AFB, where John's father undoubtedly flew some of those planes! He signed his autograph to me, "Yea Texas!"❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤RIP John AND Dan!
My husband Edgar first heard this music, was on the 80' & he told me right away as soon as he heard the lyrics of this song told me that this is his favorite song for me. He wants me to memorize this song for him & this will be our theme song. Now that he is gone I still remember him every seconds of my life.
This is one beautiful song that keeps coming back to me. I've recently met someone whom I love deeply. This is our song. I have always admired and loved Dan's music. His legacy continues on.
Amen! We humans are His MOST TREASURED Creation. Precisely why it's an apostasy to allow anyone to mess with our Dee and Nay, in any way, shape or form.
Dan was such a gifted Singer and Songwriter who was taken before he should've been. His music is timeless and something I always come back to when life goes pear shaped. Puts a smile on my dial and everything else into perspective! RIP.
This was my grandparents wedding song. My grandfather recently died last spring and this very song was played at his funeral along with many songs by Willie Nelson like Amarillo by Morning, and My Heroes have Always Been Cowboys 😥
@@RDMKYsucks Thankyou, just 5 months ago my uncle on the same side of the family who was 37 just randomly died of a heart attack. He introduced me to the PlayStation 2 when I was a baby and was my cool uncle.
one of my best friends and I sang this in our sophomore year of high school for the annual talent show. my family moved out of state and I lost touch with her. found out a few years ago that she passed away from cancer. makes this song that much more tragic and emotional for me. love you Janelle
I want this song played at my wedding to my Fatima!! She is so amazing and the answer to ALL of my prayers!! God blessed my life with her!! Love you baby, Forever and Always!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ M
When I heard this song I always thought these words are ridiculous, but then, when I thought about it little more, it made me think of God writing this song to each one of us. Books, wings, God said he knew us and created us before we were formed. The books will be opened and then our judgement is determined. Something to think about.
To Angel the father of my children I love you so much & always have. I hope the good Lord brings us together one day again & we can be happy again. Even though you said you don't have feelings for me anymore my feelings for you never died. I love you Angel
I've been having this beautiful song on my mind so much lately; singing it, humming it and there's only one thing I can think of every time and that's my youngest brother who passed away. This song fits him so well and I dedicate this song to him. My dear brother, Lito, this song is for you!!!! Love you and miss you so much.
I love the sophisticated lyrics-- though the binding cracks and the pages begin to yellow, I am in love with you. One of my favorite love songs of all time. And no surprise it comes from Dan Folgerberg, who has so many great songs.
This is one of the most saddest song i have ever heard in my entire life. :( i adore you Dan fogelberg. thank you so much for brining such a magical music we are listening up to today.
I guess it can be a sad song. It is strange how some songs can sound sad to one person and exciting to others. The music part does have a little sadness to it but the words aren't. I always think of Journey songs as sad. The music sounds sad but not the words. It also has to do with your past and a song too. If it played after you break up with someone you love it would be a sad song that way too. Everyone reacts to music different but to me this song is relaxing. A good example of a song that became sad is Nights are forever without you. I lost my dad and it played. I was real close to him. Even though the song is about something totally different it still reminds me of him just because I heard it right after he died.
I wrote about the Sunday dinners, at the Pastors, and how I thought you guys, would be like brothers. I wrote you about all their 8 kids and how much they loved me. I wrote about, how they felt like our family.
This song is our theme song when my wife say yes to me till now we are already married for 40 years by God's grace still love is becoming stronger and longer Godbless
The most beautiful, reflective song with wonderful video depiction that emotionally reminds me of my dating days in the 1980s with my husband whom I'm so grateful that we're still happy together through all these years...
Like someone writes below, this is divine love, or the love of our mother. No one like a mother, in most cases. Or a daughter to her mother. Human love is often so fragile... and still there are wonderful exceptions, like "Memorizing One" expresses below these lines. Such a pity that Dan Fogelberg died so young, like John Denver. Both, especially sensitive singers, with beautiful voices. Thank you for sharing this video, Aldrin.
Of all the things Dan Fogelberg was good at it was his amazing guitar playing that blew me away. He is to blame for me loving the big, beautiful sound of the dreadnought guitar. This wonderful song was his first I ever heard and I was hooked and have nbeen a fan since.
WOW !! I JUST LISTENED TO THIS THE OTHER NIGHT. I WAS.REMINISCING THE TIME I PUT THIS SONG ON A CASSETTE FOR MY FRIEND. HE WANT IT TO SPEAK HOW HE FELT FOR HIS FIANCE
this song is for my childhood sweetheart,bebet.i love you noon pa...until now mahal pa rin kita...nakakaiyak man kasi nde tau nagkatuluyan...but still my love for you still lingers.
This song I've carried in my heart for 40 years for my ex. We divorced many years back and wish it had not turned out like that. But still love this beautiful song that brings back happy memories. Thank you♥️
Very beautiful song words to say I Love you but expressing my feelings of love in a different way . Songs can say for those who dont always say . I Love You often enough .(*_*):-)
@helgadanielsen2212, I find this song VERY reassuring because this is God speaking in it, reminding us that he created us because of His everlasting love for us. I encourage anyone ex periencing some kind of loss, battling severe depression, PTSD, or @ worst, even trapped in a domestic abusive relationship, whether you're female or male, to listen to it.
This was on radio 2 today and listening to it led me to search it on YT and I found your video. What a beautifully tranquil piece of work- well done and thank you for creating it 🤜🏻
I read the story about an old couple in their 90s who died minutes apart holding hands. Do you believe that love can be so deep that even your souls are intertwined 🌹🌷
@mandyinfectedlover3600, and as for me, a Born-again Christian, only a couple of years after this beautiful song came out, a love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, because He has been in love with us even before His Father, God created the earth in a week's time according to the Book of Genesis. 🌎
My dad passed away October 30th,a few months ago. Love is the only thing that's important in life. We are constantly inundated with distractions for material things. I wish everyone,myself included,would try to remind ourselves every morning when we awaken, to be kind and thoughtful to each other. Don't let worries about finances, work deadlines,family drama, prevent you from appreciating the beauty in our lives.
Our wedding song from 1980. Many highs and many lows along the way but thank God, we're still together. Amazing how a song can make you young again, if only for a moment or two.
