Lyrics:
Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress, but I just don't know
And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Songwriters: Jamie O'hara

Hey friends! Thanks so much for the overwhelming response to this song. For all of you dealing with loss, my heart goes out to you. I only wanted to put this song out as a reminder to the world how family values used to be so important. What I’ve received in return other than amazing support, is stories of people who are missing a loved one. I’m so grateful for all the stories of love that y’all are sharing on here. I encourage you to read other comments and help each other out. None of us are alone here. Maybe we can take this small opportunity to love one another. It’s a safe place that only a special few will prolly ever see. If you feel like sharing this song with someone who might need it, I’d also be eternally grateful. I could use your help to reach more people. SPREAD LOVE LIKE PEANUT BUTTER
❤🍀🇧🇦
Don't forget the jelly.
Great job on this cover.
A million Dollar voice🍀⛪🗽🇺🇸
GOD BLESS
Good job bro
I like how just one man and a guitar can blow 99% of today's music out of the water.
For real brother I couldn’t agree more. My grandpa just passed and he taught me to play guitar that’s how I found this.. I’m glad that there are others who think like he taught me to think. One man with a guitar is all you need
not close but he is pretty amazing
Easily
Modern country is trash. Has no real meaning. This is simply a cover yet the way the guy sings the song puts some real emotion into the song that you don’t hear from these new punks that are cramming out music nowadays
Hey, I think this is great too. But you gotta be able to hear the keyboard right? Those are not guitar sounds lol
Hey y’all, my family!! I am so proud to share this. I loved this song as a kid. And it means even more to me now. This song isn’t really about grandpa...it’s about how far we’ve strayed from the simple, good values that the previous generation represents. I long for the days where we loved more than we fought. I love this song. I hope you do too. SLLPB
Ps. This is my wife, mom, and dad in the video. They were troopers. Haha
Beautiful my friend!
Amazing job, brother. My momma was from Lufkin...she would’ve loved your voice. My granddaddy (her dad) was a guitar player, she was a pianist, and I myself am a bassist. So I would be so bold to say that Lufkin produces some musical talent! Keep that good stuff coming, brother. Oh and go have some Lufkin BBQ and tell me how awesome it is! Love that joint!
I believe Mr. Fenley could control his own You Tube destiny. Sell merchandise, I'll buy! Keep pushing content, ur own songs, I'll play. He's as amazing artist 😍
I agree Dave... A few months ago I was singing this song thinking about my loved ones who have passed and a more simple time... Awesome job!!!! I've listened to this 3 times already in the last couple hours...
Thank you for sharing Dave
My grandpa has brain cancer and blood ancer please pray for him this song is for him
Jesus will heal him 🙏
Sending prayers to him hun. And for his healing
I’ll pray for him dawg keep ya head up family 💯
Godbless your dear Grandpa
Je vais prier pour lui
For every man who feels out of place in a crazy crazy world this song gets the tears flowing. I bet we all wished we could go back. It is not as hard as you think... Put down your phone.
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
im with you there charles wow the world has gone and changed so much and not for the better love to all x
If I didn’t I wouldn’t have heard this song. That almost took me back to a different time
I'd give up an arm for an hour with my Grampas.
Strike that - I'd give up a foot!
Passed away when I was 6…this song wrecked me as a Young man at 22
What a great cover. So relevant now. I miss childhood in the late 80’s early 90’s...simpler times
🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰
Yes, so right ,....Me? ,.....60 n 70's
Preach on
Not much simpler.... your just paying attention now
Grandpa: the toughest man we will ever know besides our father.
Pretty much was my father; miss him ever day.
Grandpa's are the toughest and softest hearted men you'll ever meet rolled into one man. I miss both of mine everyday
Fathers leave...grandpas stay and take on both roles.
@@rebo80 truest thing I've ever heard
My father got nothing on my grandfather
ill listen to this over taylor swift
💯
We played this at my grandpas funeral today. I'll never not cry when I hear it. Such a beautiful song. Rest in peace grandpa..
I wish I could hug you so tight. ❤❤
I really wanted to play this at mine, however my grandpa wasn’t known for his interest in country and my family refused to have it played. I have never stopped playing this for myself every so often within the weeks and months after release. Beautifully Sincere, this brought a precious view on the guys side of the grandpa’s relationship, and I thank you Dave Fenly So Much. Thank you for doing what your doing.
He’s best singer ever, Abbe how are you?.
Just lost my grandma and grandpa this last year. Totally get it. I feel like when I'm older the young ones wont ask me about the good old days because today isn't so great. The good days are gone.
Bro. This was legendary
This IS legendary
wow.....just wow
You basically made this song what it was. You brought the emotion to this classic!
@@cesar_yf2637 you said it. This IS legendary @No Life Shaq
IS
Why did this show up two days after I found out my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. If you’re reading this please send love and prayers my way. Thank you so much. Love you everyone 💕 beautiful song! Thank you!
So sorry to hear this. I lost a grandpa to cancer as well.
czcams.com/video/IjSM5hHsO2g/video.html
I wrote this song with a friend dying of cancer. She’s gone but her song and memory lives on. Jesus gives us the strength to find peace.
Dave Fenley, thank you for this. Much love. I’m currently listening to your music on Spotify. I have to say, I’m so glad I found you. You’re an amazing singer.
Hang in there!!! My grandpa died from cancer 20 years ago and I miss him so much 😭😭
Prayers from SC....
Prayers from AR
I grew up in some of those good ole days, born in the 50's! Grew up poor, but always had food to eat, but our Church was so important! I miss those days, life goes by so fast now, so many changes! Miss those days!
I lost my grandpa Abe last week. He was 98 years old and such an amazing man. He served in WW2 as a waste gunner on a b24 liberator in Italy and was even blessed by the pope! He became a chemist for General Electric and was married to my grandma for 66 years before she passed in 2015. I'm gonna miss him 😢 Sunday dinners at his house when I was a kid are still my best memories. He valued his family and loved his grandsons He was the best cook! I can only hope to be half the man he was one day.
Incredible story! Sorry for your loss. 😢❤️🙏
Sorry for your loss. My grandfather was also a WWII vet and was blown off the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor. They were truly a different breed!
The greatest generation. RIP Sorry for your loss
My hearth breaks when I hear stories like this and when i look at our families, how everyone is so busy and dont care for each other anymore, doesn't matter how much you try🥺
Lovely tribute. Thank you.
Dammit why am i crying? I swear im a grown- ass man.
Men can cry now a'days--let it out, it's a good thing!
Just cause you a man doesnt mean you dont have feeling like everybody else
Lol I guess I should say, I dont cry much as a dude, but this made it happen ;)
Me too bro. Me too.
Everytime i play it, and only when i am alone lol
Mad soul in that voice. I'll never understand why people don't appreciate authentic style and soulful voices like this.
Real people do. The issue with the music world is that all this fake bs crap music is pushed by the corporations and labels. They dont want real music and real artists, like this, but instead they want an industry that they can control.
Sadly modern music is made out of worldly corruption instead of soul and them good ole days.
But luckily theres a few of us out there that still listen, sing, and write good old soul filled music
2.9K dislikes??? What's WRONG with people??!
same
@@unastamus6122 they like grandma more
How do we make this song trend, the world needs to hear this !
Hey Dave and friends,
Heaven just got a new Angel this week, my Grandada passed away this week...it's a hard loss but we all know he's in a much better place with all the family and friends he's been missing! I'm so glad I found this beautiful song, it's definitely helped me out with this loss...I've shared it with family & friends and we all really love this song! Thank you so much Dave for this wonderful song, it's helping us more than you could imagine!
So sorry for your loss. 🙏😢❤️
❤
"Did daddies never really go away"
Hits deep
My dad left me so it does hit pretty hard
Same here...that was deep
My dad was my best friend he left when i was 8 never to return, my wife who i gave every ounce of me to left, my mom recently passed and guees what, even my step dad went away, to be with my exwife, so as you said that song hit so very hard, brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear it, the one man to never go away and to always srerr me right and true was my grandpa, the one that taught me that a man loves truly protects what he loves and suffers when he must for what he loves so his family doesnt have to
@@dewayneprince7429 prayin for u homie.
I’m dad that went away I’m glad to be back. I’m sorry for us we can be stupid.
My grandfather worked so hard to retire comfortably. Instead of taking vacations and living the life, he decided to raise a 6 year old boy...me. I would do anything to hear his stories again. I have two beautiful kids who I share his stories with. Wish he could be here to share them himself.
I miss you, Grandad. I will see you again.
This is an amazing version of the Judds song. Absolutely breathtaking. I will be listening to it for days to come. I lost my Daddy back in 2023 ..I miss him dearly. There are days when i just dont want to move ahead. The world is a different place now without him. So thankful For this song and the love of Jesus for holding me on days when I feel like just giving up.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Precious Father Michelle. I lost my Daddy too early this year. Even saying that is almost unbelievable. The pain is too much to bear sometimes. I _love_ this version of this song and when I hear it, even though I love it, I now burst into a river of tears. The whole world has changed for my Mum and I. I know Jesus will look after our loved Ones and surround our beloveds with perfect Love and perfect Light. From the little girl in me to the little girl in You, who adore their Fathers. Strength, love and hugs
Dave, you reach deep into my old heart with your love of the lyric. Thank you.
I just sang this at my grandpa’s funeral on friday. I will cherish it forever.
Sorry for your loss we all cherish stuff and moments that happen :)
So sorry! 🙏😢
Sorry for your loss 😢
Sorry for your lost.🌹💕🌹💕🌹💕
Smoking on that grandpa pack 🚬💨
My daughter danced with my dad to this song at her wedding. Back story, he had a stroke 5 years ago & refused to work with rehab, until my daughter came to visit and he got out of bed and started trying to walk again, working with rehab to one day be able to dance at her wedding. This song combined with his pure joy in his eyes as he stood out of his wheelchair to dance with her had the entire room in tears. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
That made me tear up that's fucking amazing
So Nice. The Power of Love. I hope He is doing good. Miss my grandparents. Beautiful song. I wrote a song to him and my grandmather. Peace and Love!
❤😢❤😢❤😢❤
😭
I like his take on this 😢😢
My grandfather is dieing and I wish I could just go back to the good old days that I spent with him as a kid and do it all over again.
Prayers sent. ❤️🙏😢
❤🙏
I'm so sorry for you 😢 I lift you and your family up in prayer that god comfort you through this difficult and painful time🕯🙏 God be with you all and shine his everlasting light upon you❣
My energy goes out to you and your family... 🙏🏽
Its the hardest thing ive ever been through in my life its been 6 months and i still come back here to cry sometimes. Good luck brother i pray for a recovery if possible
My gosh! I'm a city girl, not much of a country fan but my Grandpa is straight up from Tennessee with the strongest accent you can imagine. He's 91 and I love him so much. I call him sunshine and he calls me moonshine. I just heard this song and I've played it over and over again. It makes me cry so hard for your voice is just amazing, I can feel your emotion. Thank you for touching my heart.❤
Country music is blessed to have you!! - Cindy
@@davidholton9667 …r u trying to pick up chicks on CZcams again David?
Such a sweet pure heart. God Bless you.
Hi beauty
Moonshine, I love that.
i cried so much.. I felt this.. ALL OF IT!... i miss grandpa!🥲
That lead player has some seriously strong fingers to be able to play that on a acoustic guitar...ive been playing 40 years and it still hurts
Haha! I wish I had a lead player!!
Not often a cover is better than the original-but this is the exception. Not only a great song, but honestly this is the kind of song, the kind of message we need right now in 2020.
Daniel I agree. He nailed it and if 2020 ever needed a song to listen to it this is it
I agree, he took this to another level
Hope it's on iTunes, one day soon. Don't use streaming services
Josh S it is on iTunes and Apple Music.
I couldn't agree more!!!!! Love the Judds but your rendition of this song is just plain amazing! Love it and love your raspy voice....you truly are a one in a million singer
As a Mexican American this is a beautiful song much Respect From Anaheim
You are welcome
Love This! Awesome!! I Love My Grandpa!! He now Dancing with the Angel's🎶💜🎶✝️
I would be nothing without my grandpa and God. Love ya.
The best rendition of this song I've ever heard. And at a pivotal time in life. Thank you. Sincerely
Yep hands down the best rendition.
Thanks
Exactly how i feel too. This song just hit me like a Mac truck! Thank you
@@larry5948 k99999999
I agree
I agree.
Broken hearted for the current state of our country and longing so much for “them good ole days. 😢
The younger generation for the most part wont have these songs in their library. Good to hear people keepin old country alive. Good job!
Maybe because knowadays granpas are so young.
Joc Bonilla lol
15 and I love this song. I wish I was alive during 70’s 80’s or 90’s
just want us all to pour our energy into our children in these difficult times
How does that SOUND?

This song is for our kids
I'll carry you on my Shoulders
How does That SOUND?
@@josep211080 y'all can I share something encouraging with you today, how about a new song to help remind us of what matters? How does that SOUND?
czcams.com/video/mBW8wTDU0QI/video.html
the Judds and this guy together , chills! would be a great mix
Lost my grandpa almost a year ago and this song made me think of him and his lessons, witty sayings and morals. Men were built differently back in the day. Thank you for this amazing song!
Hey, how’s your week going so far?
"Раньше Мужчины были по- другому сложены"-Ваши слова красивы в своей правде. Уважение к старшим- это уважение к Душе,что здесь,на Земле,дольше в гостях,чем ты сам...
Всех благ,
Искренне
I hear that. My grandpa was an angel. Man of values in all his endeavors. Respect was his biggest lesson. If someone disrespects you they will do it again if you let them.
I think my estrogens high this comment got me 😭😭😭
If it wasn't for my grandpa, I would have little to no knowledge of the world... he was a fountain of wisdom and always taught me valuable lessons, i love and miss my grandpa more than anyone... he raised me from 10 months old, he was more like my father... he was there for my first breath, and I was there for his last breath...
R.I.P Grandad (1938-2018)
My Grandpa Cobb was born in 1890. He loved to tell me stories about what it was like growing up in Texas at the turn of the century. He lived through so much and was such a wise man. He passed away when he was 93 years old a couple of years before the Judds released this song and it always reminded me of him. I shed a few tears listening to this version.
Thanks for sharing your story Lorie. He sounds so interesting. I’m from Texas too so those stories would really captivate me.
To Grandpa, my best friend and my hero. I miss and think about you everyday. Until we meet again, I love you.
Beautiful Song.... Paint me a picture of long ago Grandpa..❤💯🇯🇲
Lost my grandfather on Father's Day 2020. Hands down the greatest man I ever knew. His wife, my grand mother, passed in 2019 after a long battle with alzheimer's. She was non-verbal and bed ridden for the last 5 years of her life. He never left her side and she never left their home. They were married for 67 years at the time of her passing. My grandma and grandpa were the definition of "the good old days". Max and Phyllis, I love you and miss you both.
i feel so with you😥🕊
I'm 45 years old. Listen to country music for decades. This moment, when I heard that song, sitting in my car, getting goosebumps from head to toe and my eyes getting wet. My Grandpa came to mind. Thx a lot for that great song. This is what music is all about. AMAZING SONG DAVE!!!!!
Ahhh😭 I miss my two old man’s 😭💙 Both passed in 2015
One in July and one in December
Best two grandpa ❤🥹
I’m weeping. I’m so nostalgic watching this video. Thanks for taking me back. You’ve got a lifelong fan
The only grandpa I knew passed away when I was 15..unfortunately I didn't realize how much I needed him and his lessons. Now I'm 25, and think about him often. I wish I had learnt more from him while I had the chance, his memoir is all I have. It seems like, he knew what I'd need to be reminded of. It's almost like it was written directly to me. It's my most prized possession.
I love this! Thanks for sharing your story
I know how you feel I was 11 when my grandpa died and I'm 26 now I miss him so much 😭😭 #cancersucks
Talk to aunts and uncles that spent Time With him im sure they can help maybe yall can Bond and help eachother Im sure they would wanna tell You bout The good old days yall can keep memories alive and make New old memories together to. God bless You son
@@robertgodbold9643 unfortunately i don't have a very big family, i used to reminisce with my grandma, but her mind is slipping now. :/ hope someone else can take that advice though!!
@@TrunkyDunks hopefuly
I’m only 15 but this song is so important to me cause I’m from a changing generation.... I’ve always loved sitting down listening to my elders lives how everything has changed so much... thank you for this song cause to me it represents how something could be so similar yet so different at the same time.
You have a good head on your shoulders sweetie ❤️
You sound wise beyond your years... must come from sitting down with your elders :)
Oh how I wish I had been more like you when I was your age...60 years ago! 😥
I feel the same. I’m 16 and grew up on old tv, old music, old culture; hard to connect with people my age who had different upbringings. I can’t spend time with my grandparents anymore but I always come back to things of my childhood like this song when I’m down, it will forever be a part of me
You are a very smart young man and when you grow older your elders will live on in the stories you share with others. Maybe your own children, even.
I remember singing along to Naomi and Wynona to this as a little girl. 🥲
Yup I wish 😢😢 my grandpa would tell me about the good old days he only has a couple of days of I can't believe soon he is going to be gone I just can't believe it. This is the worths pain ever
Boy.....do we need a song like this at a time like today.....the world's really gone nuts hasn't it.
Wished I'd listened to grandpa!
Now he's gone and it seem the good ol days are leaving to.
No disrespect to the Juds, but you killed this song!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just lost my Pawpaw and it has changed everything... it has brought me to my knees.
I'd say misspelling the Judds is disrespectful...... lol.
I listened to my grandad he was ma dad anaw. I have never seen or heard anything from my own dad. Now with epilepsy my memory and mental health is here. I can't remember what all my grandad said to me.
I met the man I call my Grandpa when I was about 10 years old. He married my Grandma and really took his role as a grandparent to heart. I remember him telling me and my brother stories of when he was my age and bagging his first deer, the first time he taught me a song to play on guitar, eating deer meat for breakfast with him and grandma, and spotting all the critters around the property, and many more memories. On my 11th birthday, he gave me my first guitar, and he is the reason why I became a musician and eventually a guitar builder.
This year, he won't be able to see me turn 29, after passing away a few months ago. I miss you, Grandpa. I can only hope to live up to your example.
You wrote a beautiful tribute to your amazing grandpa.
Hi, my heart goes out to you. I lost my Dad last August. What have you written. Where can I hear any of your songs. I bet your Grandpa was and still is very proud of you and the man you became. He's looking down at you. And he is always with you.
It's not hard to see your hand holding mine when it snows like this. I am always in Toronto all over again.
Jesus H Christ!! I cannot beleave this mans voice, his powerful rendition of this gr8 country song with nothing more than an accoustic guitar & his soulful Bruce Springteeness like voice damn near brght tears to my eyes ( i am not a cryer). i do not knw y i have nvr heard of this man b4 tday. i have it on repeat its soo good. This man blows most (if not all) othr country singers away! I hope 2 hear much more frm this artist. Dave is a REAL singer & these days they are very few & far between.
We need more of this. The real country. Not the stuff that’s being played on the radios. I’m only 17 but this song hits so hard
I agree
If ur looking for stuff on the radio cob theres fuck all ur better off dusting off ur mum or dads tunes and having a listen to
Well that’s what CZcams and indie music sites are for. If you like this era of country this is a cover of a 80-90s country back when it didn’t imitate pop.
“Did daddies really never go away..,” hits different when your great grand father, grandfather and father arnt your blood. Because every man in my patriarch has commitment and abandonment issues.
Literally every “father figure” in my life married into my family. None of my blood stuck around. Now that I have my own 3 kids (5yo 2yo 1 yo) I can’t imagine making them feel the way I felt growing up.
Be the change.
The curse is broken with you, that's a helluva thing to be proud of.
Amen brother. Be that man they need.
Good on you man! The world needs more good dads and grandpas!
My Father left when I was one and I can only remember a handful of times that I saw him after that. My dad came into my life at ten and treated me just like his son, like his blood, and I am eternally grateful for that. I now have three beautiful little girls and could not imagine leaving them alone to deal with this world. Y’all are right we must break this terrible cycle. Thanks so much Dave for this amazing cover of a beautiful song. It really hits me
tune, im about to be Grandpa by this time tomorrow ! First time for me !
My grandpa Lesley Baker was a man on great honour and respect. A man who has no enemies. Grand kids who would always laugh when he was around. Who would play the trumpet like no other. Or a man who when I had a hard day would take me to Dairy Queen. Who would talk to me for hours while sitting by a camp father. The importance of time especially teenagers which I’m one right now. If you have the opportunity to hangout with your grandpa or your friends. Choose your grandpa as time is of an essential. Mow his lawn help carry groceries into the house. Those little things and memories will last you a life time.
Representing our hometown with great clean music! The song hit home.
Fellow Angelina country native
Amen all the way..
Damn.. I lost my grand-father on march 5, 2022, he just had the time to turn 101 years old.. I miss him so much... Thanks for this song! It make me cry..
So sorry for your loss. Im sure he loved you as much as you loved him
Sorry for the disturbance I’m new here and the network at my camp has been good for few days now that’s how I’m able to communicate you,I’m a soldier and the United States Army and I would want us to be friends so you can be giving me updates of what’s going on okay,please do this for me it will really make me happy!!!
@@hellyeah3871 thank you 🙏
I would love to hear this man cover "country roads"
Grandpaa miss you a lot ..
Be safe up there in heaven .
Lots of love and thank you for all those bed time stories ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you
Needed a reminder that not everyone and everything is going off the rails right now.. Thank You for bringing a proper perspective back to our lives....
He didn’t write this. He covered this song. It’s a old song. I thought he did. My bad.
Bringing "the Ol country" to the younger ears. Nice job Dave.
Thrifty Lobster this still sounds like the same ol garbage on the radio what are you even talking about? Expand your ears to real country, my guy.
Matthew Torres Bro, you ever heard of The Judds? 😂 yeah, you’re definitely one of the “real country music” guys.
I agree with thrifty and Matthew u obviously have poor taste in music if u say this classic song cover sounds like trash the judds are just 1 group of many artists of classic country that we grew up listening to and keep em rolling dave
This guy’s a 99¢ store Chris Stapleton
@@9009matorres out of curiosity, what is your definition of real country?
I miss the times he remembered those stories about Vietnam and his young life he has dementia so he doesn’t remember anymore and I miss sitting down in his living room watching westerns while we talked and laughed
Sir ! My Daddy said never cry! But u just made me ! I love u Sir wish I could meet you ! Thank u !!!!!
Man I’d do anything just to get 10 more minutes with my grandpa.
Same here pal
Me too, friend. Me too.
My granddad died 12 years ago. Left. Giant hole. Oh for just a few minutes to say thank you to him for everything
not gonna lie, got choked up over this one, didnt get to say goodbye to mine.
@@bigdave6331 me too. But I made amends with him. Lose that guilt. My greatest mentor was my grandfather. Taught and regarded me not like child but a young man. You always told me made mistakes early in life. When your 18 grown man. Act like it. Work hard take pride in anything you do. Taught me about chores. Work keeps a man honest.
My grandfather was a foreman on the oil fields of west Texas. He was a quiet man most of the time and was sick the last few years of his life. The thing I remember the most about him were his fishing trips he used to take me on and the stories he gave me to hold on to. They weren't just stories. They were life lessons and advice for later. He knew that then. I didn't realize that until I was older. Thank you B.W. Pruitt. Miss you so much.
Soul in this man's voice.
Lost my grandpa a couple days ago. 88 years old. He was the best man I've ever seen in my life. I remember as a child siting on his lap and hum telling me stories and showing me pics. Gosh im gonna miss him so much. God gain one good man. He loved his wide of 70 years like no other. He loved his family like no other. He was a navy veteran and worked his whole life till retired. Him and gma had a good retirement. And he made sure my grandma is taking care of even when he isn't here no more. People don't love like they did in the good Ole days. I love this version better than any other and better than the original.
This was played at my Dad's funeral as his grandboys rolled casket into the chapel. Absolutely beautiful 🌹🌹❤️❤️
🙏😢❤️
DAVE FENLEY: This is the first time I've ever even heard of you and I LOVE your version of this song!!!
Thanks so much! Listen to my stuff on Spotify!
Same and same!!
New fan great song to get me trapped haha
Omg my niece just showed me your you tube and I am so glad to hear such a talented young man,,but when you sang grandpa I cried.I are blessed sir,,,oh I am happy to say I am 70 years old and still enjoying to see a very handsome man singing like you, God bless you and your family
I love this song so much my grandpa was my best best friend and I would do anything to have him back and riding in the old lil ford ranger truck. Ever since I was young I always saw him at 10 foot tall he was hard working man and even when he got older he always tried to cut the grass and work I’m glad I got to learn that from him. Grandpas are heroes.
I miss you Papa! I wish I would’ve cherished your presence more and made more time to just sit and talk with you. I’ll always cherish in my heart the days of sitting and watching NASCAR, football, and baseball with you. I love you and I know heaven is treating you well. I can’t wait to see you again when my time comes. I’d live to hear about the good old days when we meet again. RIP Papa I love you. I wish you were here to see your great grand kids. They’d love you so much!
Wife heard me play this on my phone and she immediately popped her head out of the kitchen and said oh he’ll yeah who’s singing that . Sang along with love and happiness . Warmed my heart
Thanks!!
THE WHOLE PACKAGE ! SKILLZ !!
Take me back to the days when a promise was something people kept and not just something they would say.
Thanks man.
I'm a 55 year old Aussie guy.
I'm lucky to have 15 grandkids that call me Grandpa.
I'm also basically a single Dad who is really lucky to be raising one of these kids.
We were having so much fun tonight and I stumbled across this song.
Praise God for your Grandpa, looks like he has a great Grandkid as well.
Steve
Thanks for being a good role model to them kids. Cheers!
Nothing like the good old days when families gathered together to spend time with loved ones. Those were the days when we took time to enjoy life.
RICKY not near as much. especially in younger generations . Families are being torn apart due to worldly aspects.
Wow! I just lost it sitting here listening and crying my eyes out...in the best possible way remembering my grandpa. Thanks for this trip.
This song hits Home, I miss playing Checkers and listening to my grandpa War stories. Listening to his stories of Leaving his home Country and Coming to the United State and working for 2.00 dollars and hr. I miss you dearly Thank you for a great childhood. 1/17/2017..
Lost my grandpa this year Valentine’s Day. He was my rock. This song had me in pieces ❤️
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for listening. 🙏😢
Lots of love tara
Just found this song. I’m so touched, going to get my grandpas handwritten note “love you” tattooed. Short time I had with him but man did he make an impact. Good ole days. He showed what a real man is and I pray one day I have a man like him.

"Everything is changing fast - we call it progress, but I just don't know." Man.. My grandpa would be so confused by the way the world has become in the past 2 years.
As would mine. What a rendition this was!
The last 30 yrs has changed so much. Families just don't get together like they use to. The only time it happens is during funerals.
@@danielgood8958 too true. My mom was the glue that kept my family together. She passed away in 2010, since then no matter how hard I try, the family.just drifts further and further apart. Now both parents, all 4 grandparents, and brother are gone. Uncle and cousins may as well be on a different planet even though they're in the same city. And that's just in 10 years.
@@CrazyJ1985 Welcome to urbanization of America. This is Liberalism. The destruction of the natural order.
@@TruthDissident sad ain't it, and to think, this is the world that we're leaving to our kids?
We miss you granddaddy! Love you!!!
Some of my best memories are sitting on the porch listening to my Pop Pop tell me stories of his motor coach bus tour driving days. I would sit there for hours and watch the red embers on his King Edward cigars glow between his weathered fingers. Hearing those endless stories made him seem like a larger than life superhero. How could he know so much and have experienced all these things?
I've listened to this song thousands of times, had up a wall that wouldn't let my emotions in. First time I heard this cover some tears ran down my face. Lost my grandpa and best friend 3 years ago. Not a day goes by I don't think about him. If your grandparents are still alive,give them a call or go have supper at their table. Say grace together over fresh mashed potatoes and hold their hugs a little longer than normal.
😭😭😭😭😭
Fuckin felt that man. I was alright up until "did daddies really never go away" I busted into tears. My dad passed away in April this year right before I turned 19. Miss him every day.
I feel you man I been strong the past three years my uncle died but this song just squeezes everything out of me
This is real music. This is an artist. What happened to the world? When did we lose our tracks? These lyrics is what the world needs in these times...
This song made me cry 😭😭😭
One Man No band jus him an his Acoustic...Killed it Bro...,,,Keep'm Coming....

Anyone else notice that Dave takes the time to read every comment and he responds in kind?
Sometimes it takes a few days...I have a lot of videos now! Haha
Thank you for this. My daughter sent this song to me when my dad passed away. of the very few times i was able to cry in front of people.
The Judds would be so proud of your version.
My gosh that voice. We need more of this in this world. His voice is amazing.
Do you wanna know what's amazing to me? The fact that so many of the comments have been liked by this man. Now don't get me wrong the voice and everything else is amazing but the love for his fans is insane and I respect it
You have the voice of an angel. Beautiful. YOU are making several smile up above and down here below. God bless you.
