When I hear this song I envision simpler, honest, hard working times, a fruitful God-blessed life with my wife, children and grandchildren standing by at my side, being close to the Earth. I wish I had a time machine and go back forever. I don't like how the people of this Earth have become today. I don't like the direction that mankind is taking. I get so very emotional every time I hear this beautiful song. Soon, the green leaves of summer will be calling me home.
It is one of the most tragic stories in popular music history.
That the great singer Peter Tevis fell ill with Parkinson's and could therefore no longer appear as a singer and make further recordings.
That leaves us with the few recordings he made between 1962 and 1968.
To date, there is no CD by him with all his songs - just as tragic !!!
One of the best singers and no CD yet !!
Best version EVER!!
He was my uncle. Sang like this at family gatherings from time to time. I ended up giving the eulogy at his funeral. When I told family and friends that he “was my meteor,” the entire gathering broke down sobbing. He was a lot of fun in his day.
Sorry for your loss. You must have been very proud of him. He is singing and entertaining in heaven for sure. May your uncle rest in peace.
Wonderful singer
A really beautiful song. It reminds me so much of my parents and that special person. May God bless him.
This is my favorite version of them all. He was a very good man indeed. R.I.P Mr. Tevis.
Very best singer with charming voice, even Tarantino used this music version as opening theme in his film "Inglorious Basterds"
Peter Tevis was a good man.
I've stood by my wife at the moment birth of all of my children and would not have missed it for the world. I must say there are no words that can describe the emotional roller coaster ride thus, every time I hear Peter sing this song, my heart and soul melts. Makes me cry every time. There is no greater feeling, joy or happiness than witnessing the birth of your own children. It's a miracle of life in itself.
2020: Who is still listening? This is such a beautiful timeless track. He was blessed with such a great voice. Brings me tears everytime I hear this song. I'm sure he's with Maestro Ennio entertaining in heaven. R.I.P. Mr. Tevis.
Im listening.
