The closing number and credits from a Lawrence Welk Show episode from 1971, so until next time as the Maestro always said, "Keep A Song In Your Heart" as the band and singers sing "Adios, Au Reviour, Ah Weidershein"
I almost cried when I heard this. I used to watch this with my mom back in the seventies. I hated it then but now I have come to appreciate it and love it so much for its innocence and wholesomeness. I wish we had this in our society.
Same here, I almost cried too! This popped up in my head today randomly, my mom used to sing it and so I wanted to look it up on RU-vid. I can still hear her singing it. RIP mom, I miss you every day!
My great grandmother loved this show. she was 100 when she passed away last month. my sister made the slide show for her funeral and this was the closing song at the end.
I used to not only watch it but dance with my grandmother whenever it came on PBS when I was little! In fact, I just caught an episode and it still holds up today
My grandma and Mom loved this show. My brother and I, being typical teenagers, would poke fun at it. But now that Grandma and Mom are gone, and I'm now close in age to what my grandma was, I can now really appreciate what a gem this program was. They just don't make 'em like this anymore!😊
I'm 59 and was a small child in the late 1960s and 1970s and although I am a life long rocker, this SHOW will always have a special place in my heart...Oh, the Lawrence Welk Show, how I love it! Fondest memories...
@@Bad_Goy23 I'm sorry. We all know what it is like to lose a family member. I lost both my parents when I was born. They were murdered. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry about your grandma.
@@thatoldchicken8549 My condolences, sincerely. I completely appreciate the time I had with my grandmother, and I can't wait until I can see her again. Thank you for the reply.
+JN West I used to watch this at my babysitters home every time I came over this was their favorite show and I watch it with them, brings back so many memories growing up, I miss those days too.
What a beautiful memory. Ty for sharing. My grandmother loved it too. I miss her and those wonderful days of the 70’s. Time flew by and now I’m almost the age my grandmother was when she watched that show. I wish i could be with her again. 😢
I watched this show when I was just a little kid like 5 or older and the only thing that I remember from this show was "goodnight, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you..." I will always have this song in my heart. ahh the good old days :) ;)
I grew up hating this song since my Grandparents tortured us with Lawrence Welk. My Dad, who is now departed would yell "turn this shit off" every time it was on. Now, I'm an adult and I have such fondness for this song. I sang this to both of my daughters as babies. They know this song well. This song makes me happy, but also makes me sad since I'd give anything to be "tortured" just one more time... It would be so nice to rewind back to the 70's and have my Dad and Grandparents again.
I was the only one in my family that loved The Lawrence Welk Show, I don’t know what my Granny on my Mommy’s side of the family liked she passed away young. My Granny on my Daddy’s side hated me so I never got to know her except her verbal and physical abuse I knew that real well.Both My aGrand Daddy’s were HEE-HAW fans, and Maebelle my Grandpappy’s wife preferred Westerns and CBS’ Rural Comedies, Gomer Pyle and such. She also liked Wheel of Fortune and Space 1999, but who didn’t.
i remember when i would stay at my grandfathers house on sat nites, he would be in his chair i would lay on the couch and watch the Lawrence Walk show and the closing song. I can remember like it was yesterday. Great Memories.
i love this show. i used to watch this with my grandparents when i was a little girl. i miss them so much, and the good decent shows like this. they dont make shows like this anymore.
Growing up in the seventies and eighties, my daddy loved the Lawrence Welk Show and watched it every Saturday night. My mama loved it too. It would make me happy and as a teenager in the eighties, I got into Prince, Madonna and MTV. I thought I was way too cool for the Lawrence Welk Show. As an adult and with both my parents gone, I realized how much I actually loved it. It brings me back to a simpler time in my life. Miss you daddy and mama, watching the Lawrence Welk Show.
I remember watching this as a young girl in 19 70s watched the Lawrence welk show every Saturday night. Miss shows like that. Watching the it brings back memories. I especially loved watching the Christmas shows. Miss shows. Everything today is reality shows.
Brings back pleasant memories from my childhood, especially after the family bought their first color television. Mom, dad, grandma & grandpa, the whole family watched this show.
I go back further than you all, but I too remember sitting with my Granny and watching this program. I also sang this to my children as they went to sleep. Yes, the world was a better place when I was young.
This reminds me of my grandparents so much. They never missed it and when I was visiting, I'd watch it with them. I love listening to this but it does make me sad... and like one post said.. how did we get from this to what we have now. That's also sad, just in a different way.
I miss the show so much it was a very big part of my childhood my grandparents and I watched it from the time I was 7 years old up it was so cool and the ladies were so pretty. I'm 60 now and you think back on special things like that
This makes me miss my mom and dad... : ( My mom and dad used make us stay up and watch this show when I was young, and now that I look back on it, I wish they still had shows like this today...
I've been playing the theme song over and over again it just reminds me of mom and dad so much it feels like tear drops falling down inside ya know they loved this show and so did I I still do🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶,
I watched this everyday at 5pm with my great gram who would watch it and eat her dinner in her hospital bed.....then after she died I worked with a developmentally disabled man who's 90 year old mother brought him recorded episodes that he would watch all day everyday.. needless to say lawrence welk was a big part of my life
i was the same way with my grandparents. i used to sing this song whenever they would leave the house. both of them have passed on and i miss them a lot.
When I was younger, my dad used to sing this to me each night before I went to bed. I never knew where this song was, but after I looked up the lyrics, I found this video and it brings back so many good memories! Thank you for uploading this :)
We watch Lawrence Welk every Saturday. (We are 38, 43, and 2 1/2). Love it! Thanks for the post. My son started singing it randomly, so it was fun to play it for him.
Saturday Night 7pm....all those have completed their earthly journeys watched this....I hear it.....I cry....good tears not sad hurt ones just....nostalgia....I miss them...glad they are never hurting again.....but....yeah
As a kid, this song playing on TV signalled bedtime. I remember being so disappointed when PBS started playing memorial episodes instead of doing reruns. (I was also REALLY excited when I was allowed to watch NOVA, probably because that was the next show on after Lawrence Welk and it was past my bedtime. lol) Now it's so nostalgic. And weird that retirees and I are nostalgic about some of the same things. I am such an old maid at heart, lol.
Absolutely love this. I find myself humming this song once in a while and I have such fond memories of watching this as a little girl, now I’m 55 ⭐️💖💖💖⭐️👏👏👏👏❤️
@Witchblade1998 I used to watch this show with my grandmother too! It was something that we would always watch together on PBS or when ABC would show it late at night. They're simple, but those are some of the best memories I have! My grandmother has since passed and I miss her very much, but I know I will always have that to look back on and how awesome it felt to enjoy watching that with her! It's a shame things like this have phased out of television now... I think kids would really like it!
I remember hearing this all the time at my grand memeres house as a kid back in the early 2000’s, and I always enjoyed hearing it. In 2018 My grand Memere passed, she was 92 years old. I am forever grateful for her bringing me so many memories and being such an amazing person in my life and she will forever be in my heart.
I go back to this whenever I miss my grandma. I’ll always love this song and would sing along with her as a child. The lyrics now really mean a lot to me,
I used to watch this at my babysitters home this was their favorite show every time I came over I always watch it with them. Brings back those memories growing up, I miss those days.
My younger brother and I would be clean from a bath, in our pj's, sharing a big bowl of freshly popped popcorn. Our TV was in black & white. Is a good memory for me. Was for my brother also. We'd mention it often. I miss him, he died in 2019.
It is so funny that I found this song. I was singing it from memory to my nephew. I remember seeing it as a child... I so loved this song. I am not ashamed...LOL... Love it!
My mom used to sing this to me before I would go to bed. I always wondered where it came from, now I know. I always thought it came from sesame street. Years later, I still remember the words to this song.
smithredhawk Same here!! I googled the words on a whim, wondering where my mom even got the song, and found myself here. Kind of surreal to hear my childhood lullaby being sung by strangers!
There’s another song that has a special feel for me. When I was in my early to mid-twenties I used to sing “When I’m 64” to my girlfriend while driving her home after a date on Saturday night. Fast forward 50 years. In memory, I can still hear her laughter when I sang it to her. And when my father turned 64, I sang it to him. Kind of ironic, isn’t it? But nobody sang it to me when I turned 64. But I did blow out ALL the candles.
Great memories - I used to sing this song to my children when they would go to sleep and now i sing it to my grand-daughter.....And what's beautiful my son sings it to her baby girl (she loves it)
I'm sixty four and grew up watching this on Saturday nights. one set in the house you know. Loved those evening gowns (especially when we finally got a color TV), and the tap dancing.
Reminds me of my parents...they watched Lawrence Welk religiously. Us kids had to as well...now my parents and siblings are dead...all I have left is my nephew/Godson...ah memories.
This brings back good memories, especially of my parents who watched this show every Saturday night. I would tell them that the "Good Night" song was my favorite! :) I guess it had something to do with being a teenager at that time and thinking the show was so uncool. :)
This song came to my mind as I am lying in bed and I started to sing it then I googled it to hear it and I had every word correct! I used to watch this show when I was a girl and never wanted to miss the end because I wanted to sing the good night song... Great wholesome memories
Thank you. This song has been flittering around my head this week and I swore it was Lawrence but Alexa would play me another song when I asked for it. Google led me to you. I am very grateful your posted this. 9/10/2023
I have fond memories of watching this show with my grandparents when I was little. I always felt safe and loved when I lived with them. I really miss them.
My mom would dance with me on this closing song and send me to bed. I'd be walking down the hallway trying to steal glances of Lawrence's ending speech. What a beautiful, innocent time that was...
I remember watching Lawrence Welk with my grandmother as a small boy. When I hear that it takes me back to a time of innocence and wonder. I yearn for those simple times of kindness and gentle ways. I felt so secure in that little country house. The song of the whippoorwill at night. The magic.
I remember always getting out my costumes and dressing up durring commercial break then dancing, and changing and the end song was always my favorite. my parents used to sing it to me before bed sometimes-3
