- They'd sing so real nice harmony together, it sounds so amazingly beautiful ...
This song is just perfect - the tune, the lyrics, the harmonies ... awesome ... How can one dislike it??
... this is from Johnny Cash's Christmas Show 1978
You can see it in their eyes - lots of desperation and scepsis, though also still love and hope - it had already been over at the end of 1978...
That's what Rita said about their divorce

I also love Kris' demo version from (ca) 1970 which is in my uploads too

Kris today sings this song in the finale of his solo concerts - either this one is the last song, or it is Why me...
Please don't tell me how the story ends (1970)
This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again.
Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.
See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.
Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been.
Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends. - Hudba
I never understand why Kris and Rita are never on any greatest duet list.
Sometimes when you see two beautiful people side by side, it leaves you breathless.
He is dreamy
When they look at each other I almost cry. What a sad story. Rita’s book filled in a lot of the good and bad
But she even said years later they have a special bond.
Two souls that found and lost each other. They looked beautiful together.
This is one of the saddest songs ever. They loved each other, perhaps will do so forever but like so many, could not find the path towards staying together.
They were such a lovely couple....true love there for sure.
So sad they couldn’t stay together.
His womanizing and drink…like many
What a wonderful duet. You can see in their faces how in love there are. It makes me sad each time I see them singing together to know they did not make it as a couple.
Uh, no. Didn't you see how he shoo'd her away at the beginning and the look on their faces?
fantastic song. He wrote some great songs...MOST OF THEM
Brilliant
@@summer2786Wow, thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t see it at first. She reached out to grab him or hold his hand or something, and he brushed her hand away. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to perform these types of songs while experiencing marital or relationship troubles.
She did not look happy here.
There is something so sad and heartbreaking about this song. Love inevitably coming to an end.
.
What a beautiful voice Rita has.
The most precious thing in life is love and to be loved
Drugs, women, inner demons, machismo?😢
Two voices that blend beautifully.
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
@Honest Mark wonderful knowing everyone is against me but I don’t lose any sleep
@@JamesSmith-yg1iociao James!🙋😍😘💘🍀
I'm surprised at how much I care that they should still be friends. Have been listening to their singing now for SO many years!
What a beautiful song, I ran six miles today listening to just is song. Sad they were singing their life. How I wish they could have worked it out. I spent the day listening to her story. Glad they stayed friends to the end.
They did NOT stay friends. After she ripped him apart in her book at a time when he was 80 years old and they thought he had Alzheimers, I was told that neither he nor any of his children (except the one they had together) ever spoke to her again. After reading that book, I have never had any use for Rita Coolidge.
@@user-lg6be5hf9wHow did she rip him apart>
@@user-lg6be5hf9w Didn't know about her book. If so, have to change positive image of her.
Such a sad love story with these two.
She is so sad,its heart wrenching, a breakup is in their future, and its in her eyes.
Their hearts talk to each other with out words.i love it.! the pain sadness can be
Felt miles away.
Rita had one of the best voices ...she was so underrated ❤
I bought a house 30 years ago there was a billboard of Rita Coolidge in garage along with Kris. It's still there.
Two great people. Their music was such a gift to the world.
Love these 2, I grew up with them - she is such a beautiful woman.
When I first heard Kris Kristofferson I thought what a beautiful voice and then I saw him and thought what a beautiful man. Still beautiful Kris with a beautiful soul. Thank you for all the beautiful music.
I am so hooked to this ... just can't get enough of them and their music. Rita's vibrato and unique half raspy voice is absolutely lovely and magnetic. Such priceless gift!
probably my favorite kris's song...and it is heartbreaking to see them look at each other and knowing that the words of the song applies to them...
Hi Catherine
Yea m no 😮💨
This song and Loving Arms
My feelings, Igzackly.
You could see the sadness in her eyes as they sang. A hurt love leaves a forever pain. Such sorrow has destroyed so many great loves the first love always lasts the longest. The first kiss the best . The first child a for ever happiness.
But... Rita was not Kris's first love. He had been married to Fran before. Neither was Kris Rita's first big love 😊
I love listening to Kris and Rita Coolidge singing together. Too bad it did not work out. May God bless them both
How are you ?
I wish they were still together but I suppose they have their reasons
I think I could stand to hear that again
@@christinevicker9017 Rita wore 2 black eye's all the time she was with Chris is the reason they didn't make it together, later her and Lou Rawls made a much better duo
Too bad he was a cheater! After the divorce he said she was one mad squaw!lol..
Wonderful Harmony...I'd say one of the best duo that paired up in the 70's...!!!
Rita has a beautiful voice.
Yes she does.
mooie samenzang
you can see the tension, they both want to be together but they know it will only end up in heartache.
Beautiful. I'm British just found this couple, had heard of Kris but didn't know much about him
hadn't heard of Rita Coolidge. What a couple, they are singing together but separating, yet they look as though they still love one another. How sad. Love their music, will now be listening to them every day now. My favourite now deceased American was and still is Elvis Presley, what a great singer of any genre, good looks, stage presence, etc a gift from God!
I'm rambling now but wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the music that came out of USA. Kris has a something I cannot quite explain other than to say he appeals to me and I'm sure many ladies in US feel the same.
Back in 1973 this was Farlon Oakley and my song. He passed in 1976 at the age of 21 I will always love him, not a week goes by that I don't think about him or relive our time together. We had a story.
Hello 👋 mary.
It needs to be told. Write it with this song at the beginning and at the end. I’m sorry you lost the one you loved. But that love will always be.
A beautiful song by a beautiful couple. Shame the story had to end for them.
Hello
This song gives me goosebump every time I hear it. Its so beautifull and you Can see the sadness in there eyes. Big fan off both off them. Saw Kris once in copenhagen best concert ever.
Timeless music and love. I was a teenager or young adult when this music was happening...I still love it, listen to it, ...and actually raised my girls listening to this music...REAL music and real love. What is the old saying....live and learn.

Beautiful Couple Great Harmony. So sad they didn't make it.
About the 10th time I watched this, I noticed a kind of subtle sadness in Kris's eyes. Perhaps he knew they were drifting apart and just wanted to suppress it. Which makes the meaning of these lyrics even more real.
@@jackwalker1822 They had already separated when he wrote this song. His drinking and being on the road too long took its toll on their marriage. They still love each other.
@@jackwalker1822ciao Jack! 🙋♀️😊😘💘
@@billygoat1883not to mention other substances he was indulging in
Nothing lasts forever..don't remember if that's Kris or me..the world's most appreciated art and poetry has come from artist who loved drink or drugs or both..it's a fact ..art doesn't think about longevity..only people with children think that way..
Rita Coolidge sang this song so well with so much feeling she carried it right through
One of the best songwriters in the world,and a so fine guy..best friend of (RIP) Johnny Cash.
Hello Harry
I had an uncle and one of my grandfathers who became alcoholics and you would not recognize the otherwise sweet men when they were drunk. They hit their wives when drunk and would not even remember it later. I am glad Kris stopped drinking for good but I have to say I loved the albums they did together and was so sorry there wouldn't be more. I am glad this last marriage is a happy one. We all do make mistakes and we can indeed change for the better. He has done that very well.
I just love them for their music. Such a beautiful duo. Great duets don't come every day. I am just glad I got to hear them at their best.
I keep coming back to them . So great together. Wish they could have made it.
Hi Anita
@@christiandonaldson31 Stop ur trolling..
I agree, a smashing couple. I have tears in my listening to this song. Such a shame they split.
This performance and song pack about a lifetime of emotion into two and a half minutes. KK is such a songwriting genius. Sure wish they could have stayed together.
This should have been an eternal duet. They were so good together.
Don't tell me how the story ends.
DesertRat1935 After all these years, it still makes me a bit blue that these two couldn't make it together.
Prolific vision, two highly intelligent people beautifully portraying their love story. Yet knowing how fragile love truly can be
Saw this beautiful man in Norfolk, Virginia last night. He is still the most handsome man on the planet!!! A poet who evokes so many emotions that I couldn't contain the tears. What a treasure he is! Love always!
Hello Cathy
The song is something like their relationship... each so wonderful, yet it didn't work. I saw them in concert when Rita was pregnant. Must've been 1974. Such great harmony but listening to their albums told the story. Love 'em both.
Hello TC
Fantastic harmony with great lyrics.
What a beautiful singing couple shame their marriage ended, have been listening to their songs all night and loving them.
One of my favorites . Never get tired of Kris he is the BEST!
Hi Ann
COUNTRY MUSIC IS MY FAVOURITE❤
What a beautiful combination of two great singers
“Lonesome, as a love, that might have been…” makes the tears come. So heartfelt❤
Yeah I agree, have always loved his songs
Been a fan all my life
He has a magical voice so beautiful
What's your favorite song by kris?🙂
@@marcosbryant865 Many! Can’t pick just one!
@@kathleenalopiccolo3466 yeah I agree
I love all his song, you just can't pick one
He was phenomenal, with a magical voice
What do you admire most about him?
@@marcosbryant865 Oh, I admire so many things! The great talent, and how versatile in songwriting, singing, and acting. But also, who he is as a person. Unique, unconventional, thoughtful and compassionate, through his wisdom and experience. He is like no other. Simply the best!
@@kathleenalopiccolo3466 now that's beautiful, I agree he's an icon
And he sings from the heart I just love that man
So what other musicians do you find interesting?
I think Kris and Rita's best work was on their Full Moon Album. If youve never had a chance to listen to this Album you are missing out. My favorite song on the Album is Got To Take Some Time For Love. And this was my wife's favorite Album she was in love with Kris, and I never told her but I was in love with Rita. Not really I happened to love my sweetly, and I hope she's resting in peace I just know she is.
I like Loving Arms..not written by Kris but they did a Great version!
Gosh they were so good together.
Hello
Absolutely beautiful...and so sad too...sorry it had to end😢💔❤️
Hello how are you
As I grow older I appreciate Kris music a whole lot more. His music is poetry.
exactly, i love his poetry more than the music!!!
I like you're comment Fidel, and Rita's beautiful voice is as sweet and precious as a heartbeat
Hello Carol
@@knowzmyname Sweet and precious,
absolutely!
oh, yes,, don't tell it how their story ends💖 at any rate - keep singing good songs for us🎶 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH🙏💞
Her voice is like butter. If only he could have beaten his addictions and the women on the side, maybe they would have stayed together and continued to make beautiful music.
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
He had beaten his addictions. And you only have her word that there were women on the side. I think she used him to get famous and was tired of his moodiness.
@@user-lg6be5hf9w I heard him in an interview say that he broke her heart by cheating with the “roadies” while touring. He never denied it. She didn’t need him to become famous, she was a wonderful singer on her own.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL
Yes. Yes. Yes. And a million. No. Quadrillion Yesssss.
They look so in Love. It makes this song that much greater
Wow need to listen to more of Rita. Chris' harmony was impeccable here.
agreed, a heart rendering performance, what lyrics, A true musical genius in my ears, Thank you for posting
Hello Captain
This is so beautiful, the perfect couple and magical.
... Habe noch "Gänsehaut" und ein paar Tränen in den Augen.
Das ist Nostalgie pur! Wundervoll. Grossartig. Danke!
Thank you so much "biggestkkfan"! Its such a great pleasure to dream about the so called "good times".
Lot of love for all KK and RC - fans from old Europe/Germany! ;-)
This is absolutely beautiful.
Hello Brian
beautiful together!!!
Have always been a great fan of the duo and will always be
I definitely love Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge songs together duet. Kris is handsome and Rita is beautiful. They were married but did not last forever due to not compatible in everything. In the end they had to part with new undertakings and found new spouses. For Rita she found a Japanese tycoon in their old age. My favourite song they sand together duet "Bobby McGhee".
my husband passed away when he was 39 on xmas eve 91 I still love him and believe I will see him again as I often feel him with me I know his body is ashes now and so will mine some day but our spirits that connected still have that thread so glad to read you took the good and didn't stay bitter about the bad
GOD DOESN'T GIVE THEM TO US. HE JUST LOANS THEM TO US FOR AWHILE. THEN WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM BACK.
I lost my wife by cancer ten years ago. Baby powder caused the cancer. What is in medicine. WE NEVER KNOW.
Great duet 🥰
Wow! Their voices blend together beautifully!
Hello Rukhmani, how are you doing?
I agree, one can see it... Kris now finishes his solo concerts with this song, looking up to heaven with the last line... at some concerts he then sings Why me Lord.
Kris has to be the absolute best writer I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to. Thank you sir
True
Kris with new wife Lisa always stop by my little bbq operation to buy their lunches. Kris is an amazing singer and songwriter. Always a pleasure to watch him and Willie do concerts to raise funds for our little community”s NPO.
during pandemic this is the best song to listen back and forth . Sad for this couple
Just the voice combination! OMG!❤❤❤
I saw them together in Hartford , Ct. years ago. They sang together so beautifully !
it's great to have a computor to hear all these beautiful songs.i never had one until recently .

Can not get enough of this song
Even in a song of a breakup you two have managed to have lyrics, sound and rendition a perfect blend of a captivating listening .
Hi dear,how are you?
@@davidmoore2325ciao David! 🙋♀️😊😍😘💘🍀
Rita's greatest song is called, The Way That I Loved You. Unfortunately you can only hear it if you have her Greatest Hits Album. It is a mesmerizing, tear jerking song with beautiful orchestration that had to be about Kris. The song is hard to find but, as you will hear, well worth it. I had the album for dozens of years before I Discovered it. The Way that I Loved You is the next to last or last song on the album.
yes I agree re it's Kris . it's also on her 'Thinkin about you ' & the Delta Lady cd's which I have. my fav cd of Kris & Rita together has to be Full Moon , with a couple of songs they wrote together , but I love all their albums.
I just love ,love,love these two they're so good together , it breaks my heart to see them when they sing this song. I wish them both the best in life's journey.May God richly bless ss them and their family!
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.
Yeah I agree, have always loved his songs
Been a fan all my life

I remember watching this show. My husband and I got married in 74 and he thought she was so beautiful. Of course I was jealous but at the same time, I thought she was gorgeous and talented myself. I also loved Kris Kristofferson. My husband and I are still married today. This brought back great memories, that I had forgotten about. Thank you for posting this.
The wife and I were married in 84 and like you 2 we are still together.

Hope you are safe from the virus Donna ?
Congratulations Donna, you're just 3 years away from your 50th Golden anniversary...what wonderful memories you must have made. The magic of being together for so many years. Wishing you many more happy loving years.
I've been widowed almost 3 years now, lost my husband 3 weeks to our 36th anniversary.
This is such a beautiful song, emotional, honest, but such a sad story...and I'm hearing it for the first time.

I too can listen to this song for ever. So sad and poignant in the light of the fact of their splitting up.really their shadows came together so softly and I hope they enjoyed each other till it was over.sorry that it wasn't for ever
Love this song.
It's truly a gift that we don't know how these stories end and truly a blessing that we can know how our eternity will be! We have hope in Jesus the Christ
