This was a special song for me and my late husband. I sang it to him as he was dying. It has been 4 years today since I lost him. I miss him and this song always makes me cry.
It hurts so bad to lose a partner. I'm so glad I was there with him in the end, I didn't think I could do it, God help me, I made it through and I don't regret it.
I’m so sorry for your profound loss. I lost my sweetheart in 2o12 and miss him only more and love him as much as ever. Beautiful song. I hope you’re managing well. Peace Colorado
This is what songwriting is all about. This is a song, not just a disposable piece of pop music. I've loved this song ever since it came out. The 70s had some of the greatest songs ever. Most pop music today is just the aural equivalent to fast food.
I was born in Tennessee in ‘71…and until the day I pass from this life, this will be one of *the most beautiful* songs I’ve ever been blessed to enjoy. Some songs are so much more than the sum of their parts.
Im an old man now.A retired Marine.I know,after having accidently run across this song while scrolling,that as soon as I listen to it now...tears will flow once again.Curse this soft heart of mine.
@Ingerul_Mortii - NO SIR! I BLESS your soft, lonely heart! I am 70, and I understand! For reasons I don't understand, I woke up today with this song running through my mind, such an earworm, making me tear up just hearing it in my mind! So, I decided I needed to pull up the song and actually listen, and then maybe the earworm will go away! Ended up blubbering! Then I read your comment! Thank you for your service, and for your soft heart!
You have served your country, do not feel this way about yourself. I have not been in your shoes. Only men OF men handle the pain, rare and few these days. How could you not know you are this man. Maybe your the number one man? You are loved, push , hard push. Win or loose who cares? Your alive, live it honorably once again.
Dad was a corporate pilot, as a kid he was gone a lot. But sometimes when he was home, he'd pick me up after bathtime and we'd go downstairs. Nothing sinister! We just rocked in the armchair and belted out these songs. It was the biggest happy time I remember.
Joe , it's that kinda - song ! It took me hostage upon its release 74 ! I hope this reply finds ya in in Good health & spiritz ! I'm Ray & 64. Best wishes to you & yours !.
This song came out when I was in the throes of heartbreak. My first husband had told me that we married too young and he wanted to date other girls. Twenty-five years later he got back in touch, but by then i was remarried with adult children. We remained friends via email until he died at 53 in 2007. It's funny but i think we always loved each other. Life really has its bittersweet moments.
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever. And this song will always remind me that you will never know where you truly belong until you’ve been where you don’t.
I never tire of listening to this man's voice. Why anyone chooses to cover Please Come to Boston, I don't know. He's the only one who can sing it like he does.
It was quite a year, 1974, particularly for Vietnam veterans drifting through an America hostile or indifferent to their sacrifice, and with a sort of hippie culture left over from the late 1960s.
Oh, the hippies were around for a long time, a lot of them settled in my neighborhood. I remember them from the 80’s, artists, carpenters, and all around long haired freaky people.
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
Many years ago I was in a relationship with a guy who was a DJ and he would always play this song for me. He has since passed away but whenever I hear this song it brings back those romantic memories.
This song is one of many that I wound up re-discovering because of services like CZcams. I grew up through the '70s hearing so many songs on AM radio that both sounded like crap (in that delivery format) and were simply overplayed that I kinda blocked out that decade and ones before it. Every now and then I get blown away by stumbling on such a song that I haven't heard nor sought out in decades... to find that it really is quite beautiful, not just in content but recording quality and everything.
Dave Loggins, in my opinion, is one of the BEST singer/songwriters of all time! He has so many good songs and his voice is so emotive. Pieces of April and Secondhand Lady are also excellent songs !!
I grew up listing to this song in the 80's (When I was 10 years old). Out of all the songs I remember my dad playing (1000's) this song stuck with me. As I got older I searched on google using parts of the song and found out who the singer was and the name of the song. WoW! I'm 45 years old now and still remember that song getting played enough for it to be a part of my childhood. Keep in mind that that I was also an MTV kid. So the fact that this song has stayed with me my whole life is a testament to the talent of Dave Loggins. (FYI- When I bring up the name Dave Loggins to my music-crazed friends they don't know this song and it blows me away.) How does such an amazing song get lost over time? Well, Dave Loggins, you had an impact on my life growing up and you will always be remembered in my heart.
I have a song like that, Make The World Go Away by Eddy Arnold, it was the one my dad would play over and over and it became one of my favorites too, but people that say they listen to country ask me what my favorite song is I tell them and just get the blank stare, but again I've been listening to country music since the 60s and most of them think that country music started with Garth Brooks or George Strait.
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love
Happy Birthday Dave Loggins born on November 10, 1947. He is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Loggins is best known for his 1974 song composition "Please Come to Boston", which was a No. 5 popular music success (No. 1 Easy Listening) in the U.S. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1995. He is the second cousin of singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Loggins
Heard this song on the radio when I was a kid and still have the 45. Now in my 60s it makes me cry to think about the woman who is my number one fan, and would have demanded I come home. So thankful to have grown up with music like this.
Can't stand stand to hear anyone else singing this song, even Loggins' live version.. he changed it so much when he did it in concert live...The studio version is so clear and the guitar so powerful... he lost the raspiness in his voice when he left the studio and I miss the girl singers from the studio version..... I first heard this song when I played it on-air at a West Coast radio station I was working at, in 1974, and was so taken with it I began playing it every shift; even after it had left the charts. I'm still emotionally connected to it almost 50 years later, and still get chills about that girl that said " no, won't you come home to me.....
A truly beautiful song .. I have loved it all my life ..through his voice ya just feel the story so deeply.. Moves me so much it brings tears🙏🧡. .. this song probably why I love to sing and play guitar.. thank you Dave Loggins
Happy 74th Birthday David Allen Loggins November 10, 1947 Mountain City, TN. He's wrote songs for Tanya Tucker, Restless Heart, Wynonna Judd, Reba McEntire, Gary Morris, Billy Ray Cyrus, Alabama, Toby Keith, Don Williams, and #1 bhit "Morning Desire" by Kenny Rogers and "You Make Me Want To Make You Mine" by Juice Newton. Many more David Allen..
I am 62 and some change. This song stuck in my head for weeks. It's takes me back when I was younger. When song's really hit your soul and stayed there. I always wanted to be a disk jockey on WFBQ in Indianapolis 94.7. I tried a couple of times. But it just didn't work out. MARRIAGE, Houses and cars. Playing music over the radio was all I wanted do. This song reminds of the dreams I had and still do. Getting older doesn't mean life is over! I might just give a shot! To every person who still has what it takes to over come. Rock on! Shawn from Indiana.
Another wonderful song I grew up on. At one point I had (most) of the lyrics memorized. In my young adulthood I walked everywhere and I passed time singing songs to myself, this was one of them. Life was very hard back then, but those moments singing to myself were amongst the best. Life is filled with moments of simple happiness. Remember them.
I was 11 when this came out. For some reason I loved it from the first time I heard it. I loved the passion of his partner to ask him to come home. Fast forward 50 years, I married a man from Tn. 27 years ago and I sing this to him all the time. I am his number one fan❤️❤️
This song is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. 1974... I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old, with an older sister, two older brothers, a younger brother and another one on the way. We were an active family that year and i remember countless road trips and adventures, either perched in the "rumble seat" of our big blue '72 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon on our way to a weekend of sun, sand 'n' surf in Rehoboth Beach or squeezed in the back seat of Dad's badass Cougar Eliminator as we headed up to our getaway in the Poconos, where we boys - the "Little Knuckleheads" - would swim, fish, hike and tear up back trails on our mini-bikes. There are times I SO pine for those days that my heart hurts...
im an older guy, i remember when the world was like this song, freedom, love, yeah some drugs. but it wasnt the main thing. i remember this song playing one night on a am transistor radio, camped out with friends, barely awake to the light of a campfire, thinking things would always be this way. then the next song that played, 'sometimes all i need is the air that i breathe ; listen to that song friends. !
I haven't heard this since back then....It was my Girlfriends Favourite back then...Brings back some great memories and ofcourse some regrets..Lovely song..
I've followed Dave Loggins since the mid 70s, I bought the Apprentice album and fell in love with his voice and song construction. Now I have everything (i Think) by him. Please Come to Boston is such an amazing song. as is Sunset Women, Pieces of April, Good Side of Tomorrow, and my favorite Goodbye Eyes
I thought this song came out in the early 80s but it was the 70s no music today can even begin to compare to the music of yesterday's. This song brings back the good memories. I once known. Wish the world could be like that again.
I stumbled across this song when I ordered a CD with ballads of the 70s. Now this song is part of me. I listen to this beautiful song on the frequent ❤️
I grew up listening to this with my mom, she loved it. She played for the man I married when we started dating and he loved it. They are both gone and this song makes the memories roll thru my mind which makes me smile thru my tears
Brings back precious memories , of my first love , a Girl from Houston , we moved in 74, this song made me think of Dawn , we wrote each other for awhile , but that fizzled out , got to see her once after that, often wonder what become of Her .
In 1974 I was 9 and in a small town in Middle Tennessee. Mom was.38 Dad was 42 that October. Suddenly the visit came. Auto accident. Dad. I'm so grateful our Mom was spiritual and open minded. My sister 17 and 19 yr old brother were blessed with this music. Don't get me wrong not just bc of trauma. The music of this great guy and likes of Three Dog Night, Bread, D. Brothers, Elton John, Pink Fliyd and shish.it was awesome. But now at 58 and doing a revisiting healing session. Was it just frequency or a combo with spirit? Michael McDonalds Voicals plus America Woman and These eyes and Daniel. Just saying Sending love, hugs and prayers from your sister in Tennessee ❤ !!
This was a special song for me and my late husband. I sang it to him as he was dying. It has been 4 years today since I lost him. I miss him and this song always makes me cry.
So sorry for your loss
@@freedomliberty3103 thank you for your kind words.
It hurts so bad to lose a partner. I'm so glad I was there with him in the end, I didn't think I could do it, God help me, I made it through and I don't regret it.
I’m so sorry for your profound loss. I lost my sweetheart in 2o12 and miss him only more and love him as much as ever.
Beautiful song.
I hope you’re managing well.
Peace

SO sorry for your loss. We lost our daughter in 2012 and songs like this make me cry

True...😮😊
Your not more right. I have a playlist full of 150+ classics like these, not a single song after 2010 is on it
thx, you said it all. greetings from austria.
I was born in Tennessee in ‘71…and until the day I pass from this life, this will be one of *the most beautiful* songs I’ve ever been blessed to enjoy.
Some songs are so much more than the sum of their parts.
Born in 59 and agree 100%
The song is perfection
Soo true
Such a great time to live guys. This song does seem to preserve the taste, feel, and smell, of a time. Yeh, kinda perfect 😊😢
I was born in '52, and this song has always been special to me as well. Sheer perfection
Im an old man now.A retired Marine.I know,after having accidently run across this song while scrolling,that as soon as I listen to it now...tears will flow once again.Curse this soft heart of mine.
Oorah!
@Ingerul_Mortii - NO SIR! I BLESS your soft, lonely heart! I am 70, and I understand!

@@MRAMX390 Thank you.I really appreciate the prayers.
I was 16 in 1974. What a wonderful time to grow up!
Powerful, great perfect song. They don't make songs like this anymore. Glad I grew up in the 70's.
Some do. Check out Effron White. I love this song, too. It’s the Kleenex for a broken heart.
One of the most beautiful ballads I’ve ever heard.
His voice is blissful
I don’t even listen to this type of music but this is absolutely fantastic.
I would have to agree
It's our song
Isn't it?
Dad was a corporate pilot, as a kid he was gone a lot. But sometimes when he was home, he'd pick me up after bathtime and we'd go downstairs. Nothing sinister!
We just rocked in the armchair and belted out these songs.
It was the biggest happy time I remember.
Hadn't heard this song in years. Now I've listened to it 25 times in the last couple days. Love it
should be laws against SONGS written this well Mark stay well
Me too!
Me too
Same here.
Totally totally understand
I use to sing this to my ex wife in the 70s….saw her about a year ago in a Wal Mart…. I sang it one more time and walked away
Joe , it's that kinda - song ! It took me hostage upon its release 74 !
I hope this reply finds ya in in Good health & spiritz ! I'm Ray & 64.
Best wishes to you & yours !.
Why? The potency of this song stirs the spirit.
Joe gotta let me go cuz Joe isn't even in the know. Feed these ASAP but not Joe oh no. G
I mumbled love for years beleing that this ain't your kind would show up majestically and rescue me.yummy sobg
Finally what happened to both of you, Joe and Georgia ? 😮
Had a cassette of this when I was little, played it til the pad fell off, glued it back and played it some more. Masterpiece
And used a pencil to rewind it so you could play it again. Ahh the memories
I grew up with my 86 yr old uncle playing it on Lead guitar. Fine Musician
This song came out when I was in the throes of heartbreak. My first husband had told me that we married too young and he wanted to date other girls. Twenty-five years later he got back in touch, but by then i was remarried with adult children. We remained friends via email until he died at 53 in 2007. It's funny but i think we always loved each other. Life really has its bittersweet moments.
Wow, how tough. Glad you moved on but it was a really tough deal. My ❤ goes out to you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good health to you & yours Julia ! 💘❤🩹
I had a similar situation.
I fell in love with this song in 2005 when I was ramblin’ to Arizona to try and find my place in the world. I would play it over and over again. Now, after so many years and so many places I’ve called home since then, I have settled back in Tennessee where I will live forever.

GREAT SONG. GREAT SINGER
How is Tennesee
True ❤️
I never tire of listening to this man's voice. Why anyone chooses to cover Please Come to Boston, I don't know. He's the only one who can sing it like he does.
Rita Wilson, Tom Hank's wife, does a great job, but this is still my fav
David Allen Coe does a great song
It's his song. The original is always the best!
Kenny Chesney covers the song and its a pretty good version. He also sings it because of the Tennessee part since hes from Tennessee
@@chrisb3976 I will look for it
It was quite a year, 1974, particularly for Vietnam veterans drifting through an America hostile or indifferent to their sacrifice, and with a sort of hippie culture left over from the late 1960s.
I heard this in the 70s, particularly 1974 and I979.
Oh, the hippies were around for a long time, a lot of them settled in my neighborhood. I remember them from the 80’s, artists, carpenters, and all around long haired freaky people.
Indeed...1974 was a watershed year for a wide variety of reasons.
Oorah!
Nearly all those hippies I knew then are grey haired conservatives now. Very few exceptions.
Dave was only 26 years old when this song was released in April, 1974.
What a great tune.
Read the BIO , it's impressive . He is 76 now ! 🎯
He sounds much older,in a cool sorta way,like he's been around the block a time or two. A seasoned,well traveled drifter type. Lol
I listen to this with my eyes closed.
An often under-appreciated gem, just like a big part of 70's music the lyrics are absolutely beautiful . Thank you for giving us this song.
Why would play him this dumb song on his death bed? Sounds like last minute torture.
Everybody I know knows and loves this song. Not underappreciated here in Southern Ca.
Okay you did say often, but not by anyone I know.
Indeed thank you love
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Living the life of a drifter, chasing the dream. Everyone deserves to have someone who accepts them as they are and who loves them unconditionally. I would hope that, at the end, he goes home to her.
It's like the world was so much better when good music was coming out
Correctamondo!
Yeah, the sucky people have too much power and influence over the good people now.
Woke up to Dave Loggins' song in my head. Thanks for that, Dave. If you only created one thing in your life, this song would be enough.
I did too. One of my favs
Sounds like a insults I think his signing is Great
@@marysaylor9510 Thing about signing is you can't hear it. I do like his singing, though.
How funny, there are times I wake up with this song in my head also. Lonely I guess.
It actually made an appearance in my dream last night, so I wanted to listen to the original after I woke up.
This song started playing in my head and needed to hear it play. What a beautiful song.
This happened to me today, as well! Dang those earworms!🎶
@@MissAstorDancer
. . It's a GOOD contagen . . ha ha , Good Health to ALL ! . .

My first boyfriend introduced this song to me in 1986, RIP Jim
Peace and Grace to Jim.
He's in a better place. Please keep your head up and stay safe. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ ♥️ 🙌 🙏 ❤️
He had great taste! Rest easy Jim!
A song that every now and then crosses over time and back into my life, and hits me like a bomb every single time. ❤️😭
Yes... and it sucks. ❤
@@hipchicagal2111 , as so many great love songs do. But in the best way…
Damn, well stated. I agree I woke up with this in my head from out of the blue.
A beautiful song of regret 😢
Odd
Soothing melodies never hit me like a 'bomb'
This song I will always cherish ❤️ I'm a Tennessee girl. It reminds me of my Daddy.RIP
Me too!
Ima Louisiana man.
I can listen to this song over and over…great song..
His voice has so much "want" in it. LOVE THIS SONG!
So true. This is one of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes. So much heartbreak in this song.
Many years ago I was in a relationship with a guy who was a DJ and he would always play this song for me. He has since passed away but whenever I hear this song it brings back those romantic memories.
A.I. will never create songs so beautiful as this
So fn true...😚👍...best comment! ❤
AI is about making QUICK MONEY & targeting kids... it's really disgusting
This song has stood the test of time. It has no age; just a timeless classic.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was the Song that Ripped my Heart out the Day I Lost My Son.
It Means So Much To Me…..Thank You Mr.Loggins.❤
One of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard. Never get tired of listening to it.
I agree 💯%, the BEST! ❤️
A SONG AND A VOICE THAT MAKES ME HOMESICK.
@@brentcarr5965 It makes me “homesick” for beautiful, soul touching old ballads like this. 🎶💕
This song is one of many that I wound up re-discovering because of services like CZcams.
I grew up through the '70s hearing so many songs on AM radio that both sounded like crap (in that delivery format) and were simply overplayed that I kinda blocked out that decade and ones before it.
Every now and then I get blown away by stumbling on such a song that I haven't heard nor sought out in decades... to find that it really is quite beautiful, not just in content but recording quality and everything.
heard this in 74 was hooked ....ran out and bought the album u have good taste Steve
This is why I follow Rick Beato. To discover amazing music like this song, that I would probably never find by myself
Perhaps Rick should feature this on his "What Makes This Song Great?" series.
It’s just so good. We may not know why like Rick but we still know.
Listen to Paul Davis, I go crazy
My mom used to sing this to me when I was little. She sang it from the perspective of the woman.
Maybe Joan's version?
This is a jewel.
So sad.
So beautiful.
One of my favorite ballads of all time. The lyrics are just amazing.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever
Definitely
This world needs more music like this.....
no doubt
God damn right!
So miss this kind of music! Where are the musicians of the 60-70’s today.
Quiet, subtle, beautiful...genius!
I cry EVERY time I hear this.
Me too 😢
I sang this to a woman once in real life. The first time I heard this song I was in Denver driving from LA to New York. I wept. I weep now.
😥
This was a special song to moi for when my friend, Carole died
Sooo grateful to be alive when this came out originally.
First heard this when I was 5 years old. This type of music runs through my blood. It will resonate forever
I absolutely love this song. If you dont, check your soul!
Dave Loggins, in my opinion, is one of the BEST singer/songwriters of all time! He has so many good songs and his voice is so emotive. Pieces of April and Secondhand Lady are also excellent songs !!
How did the years race by so quickly? This song remains one of the very best!
One of the best songs ever
I love that song it seems so sad!
One if my all time favourite Dave Loggins tracks. A great singer and songwriter. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖
Jeannette...I was working on my truck this P.M...strangely started singing this tune. Very good lyrics..,no doubt, I liked Elvis.. he was a good soul.
You have great taste and a great name

Heard it in 1974, 1984, and 1991
48 here.....same. The song remembers when.
Never change who you are … you are special, please believe in (you)
No matter how old it gets, it still resonates with all of us as we have all been there to a certain degree. If you never felt this about anyone then you wish you had. Still reflects life and love
🎶 …. and there’s some stars that fell from the sky liven’ up on the hill 🎶. One of the greatest lyrics EVER! ❤️
That's funny. I was thinking of posting a lyric, as well, and that would have been it.
Yes, so perfect ❤

I love Kenny too!
This song brings back so many memories of 70s...
When I didn't care much for love songs, this one always touched me.
This and cats in the cradle hold a very special place in my heart. As does the seventies.
You know, so many have covered this song, but no one has done it better than the original. Outstanding.
I'm not doubting you at all, but I've never once heard a cover of this song. I'm lucky, I guess.
BULLSHIT DAC DID IT WAY BETTER
Best cover...BW Stevenson who cowrote My Maria.
@@sharongaskellNot for me. Loggins' voice has more depth and longing. No one beats it.
Heard this song on the radio when I was a kid and still have the 45. Now in my 60s it makes me cry to think about the woman who is my number one fan, and would have demanded I come home. So thankful to have grown up with music like this.
Can't stand stand to hear anyone else singing this song, even Loggins' live version.. he changed it so much when he did it in concert live...The studio version is so clear and the guitar so powerful... he lost the raspiness in his voice when he left the studio and I miss the girl singers from the studio version.....

He tells a great story. And sounds so Dreamy.I never can play it only once. Thank You .
A truly beautiful song .. I have loved it all my life ..through his voice ya just feel the story so deeply.. Moves me so much it brings tears🙏🧡. .. this song probably why I love to sing and play guitar.. thank you Dave Loggins
Same. Even after all these years, his pleading voice and this music tears me up
There is a great live version by him singing this on CZcams
I was in Boston this beautiful spring day. It was absolutely stunning today. Made me think of this song.
Only a person with a beautiful heart could have ever done this beautiful song

Shawn from Indiana.
What beautiful and amazing lyrics!
Beautiful, beautiful, hits you in the heart.
Another wonderful song I grew up on. At one point I had (most) of the lyrics memorized. In my young adulthood I walked everywhere and I passed time singing songs to myself, this was one of them. Life was very hard back then, but those moments singing to myself were amongst the best. Life is filled with moments of simple happiness. Remember them.
I was 11 when this came out. For some reason I loved it from the first time I heard it. I loved the passion of his partner to ask him to come home. Fast forward 50 years, I married a man from Tn. 27 years ago and I sing this to him all the time. I am his number one fan❤️❤️
I was 15 when this came out. Taught me to appreciate a melancholy ballad.
I had forgotten this one...Remember singing along many yrs ago🤗
This song is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. 1974... I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old, with an older sister, two older brothers, a younger brother and another one on the way. We were an active family that year and i remember countless road trips and adventures, either perched in the "rumble seat" of our big blue '72 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon on our way to a weekend of sun, sand 'n' surf in Rehoboth Beach or squeezed in the back seat of Dad's badass Cougar Eliminator as we headed up to our getaway in the Poconos, where we boys - the "Little Knuckleheads" - would swim, fish, hike and tear up back trails on our mini-bikes.
There are times I SO pine for those days that my heart hurts...
Pure. Gold.
Such a beautiful song. No one sings it as well as he does.
Rick Beato brought me here. What a lovely song!
im an older guy, i remember when the world was like this song, freedom, love, yeah some drugs. but it wasnt the main thing. i remember this song playing one night on a am transistor radio, camped out with friends, barely awake to the light of a campfire, thinking things would always be this way. then the next song that played, 'sometimes all i need is the air that i breathe ; listen to that song friends. !
Absolutely fantastic, for a Ramblin 64 year old!
Timeless!... a great song this one👍🎶

My FOREVER LOVE SINGING MY FOREVER LOVE SONG-I am 68yo & this song still feels like the FIRST TIME 😍🤗💃
I've followed Dave Loggins since the mid 70s, I bought the Apprentice album and fell in love with his voice and song construction. Now I have everything (i Think) by him. Please Come to Boston is such an amazing song. as is Sunset Women, Pieces of April, Good Side of Tomorrow, and my favorite Goodbye Eyes
With a voice like that, I was always surprised he didn't have more solo hits! Love this song!
You know he was with Loggins and Messina?
@@Mouser21 Nope. Wrong Loggins.
@@Mouser21 Kenny was his cousin.
Loved this song when it first came out; it was a road trip song. I still love it and still get touched by it today.
Such a pure and clean voice. Tears at your heart strings.
I thought this song came out in the early 80s but it was the 70s no music today can even begin to compare to the music of yesterday's. This song brings back the good memories. I once known. Wish the world could be like that again.
Rick Beato brought me here
Love this song !!!!❤
I stumbled across this song when I ordered a CD with ballads of the 70s. Now this song is part of me. I listen to this beautiful song on the frequent ❤️
I grew up listening to this with my mom, she loved it. She played for the man I married when we started dating and he loved it. They are both gone and this song makes the memories roll thru my mind which makes me smile thru my tears
Brings back precious memories , of my first love , a Girl from Houston , we moved in 74, this song made me think of Dawn , we wrote each other for awhile , but that fizzled out , got to see her once after that, often wonder what become of Her .
In 1974 I was 9 and in a small town in Middle Tennessee. Mom was.38 Dad was 42 that October. Suddenly the visit came. Auto accident. Dad. I'm so grateful our Mom was spiritual and open minded. My sister 17 and 19 yr old brother were blessed with this music. Don't get me wrong not just bc of trauma. The music of this great guy and likes of Three Dog Night, Bread, D. Brothers, Elton John, Pink Fliyd and shish.it was awesome. But now at 58 and doing a revisiting healing session. Was it just frequency or a combo with spirit? Michael McDonalds Voicals plus America Woman and These eyes and Daniel. Just saying
Sending love, hugs and prayers from your sister in Tennessee ❤ !!
I live in Florida right now but I can't wait to get back to Dickson Tennessee lay in the backyard and smell the honeysuckle the good old days.
You wrote your comment a year ago. I hope if you’re not back to the haller, you’re at least closer.
