Every time I hear this song or try to play it I get tears in my eyes. He was one of a kind songwriter and his legacy lives on in each and every one of us.
Stan had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard can't believe he's been gone so long he will never be forgotten here in newfoundland hes a true national treasure
Where the earth shows it's bones of wind broken stone And the sea and the sky are one I'm caught out of time my blood sings with wine and I'm running naked in the sun There's God in the trees I'm weak in the knees and the sky is a painful blue I'd like to look around but honey all I see is you The summer city lights will soften the night Till you think that the air is clear I'm sitting with friends where forty five cents will buy another glass of beer she's got something to say but I'm so far away that I don't know who she's talking to Cause you just walked in the door and honey all I see is you (chorus) And I just want to hold you closer then I've ever held anyone before you say you've been twice a wife and your through with life ah, but honey what the Hells it for? After twenty three years you think I could find a way to let you know some how That I wanna see your smiling face forty five year from now Alone in the lights on stage every night I've been reachin out to find a friend Who know all the words sings so she's heard and know how all the stories end maybe after the show she'll ask me to go home with her for a drink or two now her smile lights her eyes but honey All I see is you Chorus
I never realized how much I missed Stan. His talents, shared in folk festivals, and small concerts across Canada.I feel so honoured, that I had met him. Hearts keep breaking for the man, who knew how to steal your heart, with music that carried your soul with him across Canada! Thank You!

This first came up on Pandora for me yesterday and right away I fell in love with it, the sound of his voice is just amazing. So I had to find it here and I’ve listened to it countless times now. And yes it does put a lump in my throat. I haven’t been married as long as that but I feel the same way about my wife Jen. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
Yes, a wonderful singer from Upstate, NY named Priscilla Herdman recorded it for one of her albums. She does a very beautiful cover. Hope you can find it to hear her version.
I could not find Priscilla Herdman's cover of this song on CZcams but if you go to her website, she recorded it on her album called, "Forgotten Dreams" and I think you can hear the song from that album on her website.

unequivocally the best folk singer of this country has ever seen a true legend gone way too early in life
You mean the world, the best ever to do it
Far far fat too young. Stan is boss hoss.
Check out" the dreadnaughts " it's his son's band the do a song called dear old Stan. It's a tribute to him
Him and Gordon Lightfoot were 1 and 2 for me. Sadly, both are no longer with us.
stan and jim croce for me, both lost too soon in planes
RIP Stan . You're songs will always play. Tks
Where the earth shows it's bones of wind broken stone
And the sea and the sky are one
I'm caught out of time
my blood sings with wine
and I'm running naked in the sun
There's God in the trees
I'm weak in the knees
and the sky is a painful blue
I'd like to look around but honey all I see is you
The summer city lights will soften the night
Till you think that the air is clear
I'm sitting with friends where forty five cents
will buy another glass of beer
she's got something to say
but I'm so far away that I don't know who she's talking to
Cause you just walked in the door and honey all I see is you
(chorus)
And I just want to hold you closer then I've ever held anyone before
you say you've been twice a wife
and your through with life
ah, but honey what the Hells it for?
After twenty three years you think I could find a way to let you know some how
That I wanna see your smiling face forty five year from now
Alone in the lights on stage every night
I've been reachin out to find a friend
Who know all the words
sings so she's heard
and know how all the stories end
maybe after the show she'll ask me to go home with her for a drink or two
now her smile lights her eyes
but honey All I see is you
Chorus
Aww, thank you for this!😍 I'm crying; of course.
Blessings,
Vancouver, Washington USA🇺🇸🙏

"That I wanna see your smiling face forty five years from now "... He died to soon to see it
It really is a shame that the current generation knows nothing of people like Stan Rogers.
19 years old and i am truly blessed that Spotify shuffle somehow gave me stan rogers, wish i had a more authentic story as to how i started listening
Hands down, one of the best love songs out there.
Then there's 'Lies'. A very wonderful love song as well. What a great talent.
I'll happily be the 45th like on this comment. I hope one day I can find a gal who will let me hang around for at least a few years.
My best friend, lover and confidant died last night, this was our song. I've been playing all of Stan's music and crying non stop.
I play this even for ladies I don't want to see for another 45 minutes.
It is one of only two love songs that can move me to tears no matter how many times I listen to it.
Gordon Lightfoot singing The First Time
Amen.
What a lovely man
and an incredible bard and singer is Stan.
Emmylou Harris singing Jean Ritchie's Sorrow in the Wind
How about listening to it now?
Pat Brown, you might also appreciate Marlon Williams’ version of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” - so beautiful.
We played this at our wedding 29 years ago today
Congrats on 30 years missus
great taste.
And after 29 year's you'd think I cud find a better song to chuse
Aww
@@seamusblabla5810 Maybe after 29 years you could spell better.
A great singer, we still celebrate him yearly in Nova Scotia! I thank my Dad for passing this music on to me and my brothers years ago.
I'm moving out east. Gonna bring Stan Rogers to mediate the lobster debate.
Stan Rogers still moves me to tears and laughter. Totally exceptional. Deserves to be remembered forever.
I heard he wrote barrets privateers backstage and went up n did it, true musician songwriter
45 YEARS today. David & Carolyn are STILL IN LOVE & TOGETHER..................! sydney, N.S. Canada
Gets me every time, beautiful song, such a tragedy that we lost this man when we did.
JTGaming I'm from Cincinnati, and I was here in 1983 when we lost one of the very best. A tragedy beyond words.
One of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard - filled with such pathos given Stan Rogers' tragic death.
I am so blessed that I actually got to hear in person, unfortunately that was his last concert
I also saw him, twice, perform in person - not the last concert, though. He was as powerful a presence in person on stage as his recordings imply.
The most beautiful love song ever written.
For me, it's a tie with Stan's "Lies" and "The Lock-Keeper".
So priveleged to have found a love that this song describes perfectly ❤
Stan Rogers is a legend without a doubt
one of the best folk artist of all time. strong voice !
I live in Cincinnati and I was here in 1983 when we lost the best of the best at the Cincinnati-N.Ky airport.
I took my hat off for this in respect. This song makes me teary.
Wow, what a voice. I just discovered Stan tonite on my birthday, September 24.
Beautiful song God bless Stan and his Family.
Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone
And the sea and the sky are one
I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine
And I'm running naked in the sun
There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees
And the sky is a painful blue
I'd like to look around, but honey, all I see is you
The summer city lights will soften the night
Till you'd think that the air is clear
And I'm sitting with friends, where forty-five cents
Will buy another glass of beer
He's got something to say, but I'm so far away
That I don't know who I'm talking to
Cause you just walked in the door, and honey, all I see is you
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
A way to let you know somehow
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
So alone in the lights on stage every night
I've been reaching out to find a friend
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard
And knows how all the stories end
Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
Home with her for a drink or two
Now her smile lights her eyes, but honey, all I see is you
Thanks for posting this!😍 Of course I'm crying!
Blessings,

Today, Mike & Mary Johnson are celebrating their 45th anniversary. 💙💙💙
A true canadian hero. RIP Stan Rogers ❤️

Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
This is why I have such a high standard of romance smh. I wish I could've seen him in concert but he died over a decade before I was born.
most beautiful song
He might be from ontario but he's ours!!!
Here was a great Canadian sadly lost much to soon. What other great songs could he have written? Sadly we’ll never know.
I live in Nova Scotia and, I go to the Stan-fest in Canso.
Twenty people don't deserve to have thumbs....
>this is for my wife
>one of the best love songs ever sung
Damn
I'm going to play this for my girlfriend someday. All I need is a better guitar and some lessons.
how did it go ?
Check out partymarty's channel
No guitar, can't sing, no girlfriend. You've got it better than me.
this song makes me cry whenever i hear it. especially when he dedicates it to his wife.
still a better love story than......
Love this song
My wife turned 45 yesterday. This is for her.
I love it
Amazing - that's all there is to say.
👍
Stan man, where do I find a pair of those slick looking boots? Channeling my inner Stan for this one!
rip
45 years is what I had with Kathy.
This is almost impossible to sing properly man what a great voice he had
awesome song, but I know a version sung by a girl? any one know that one, some sort of folk singer maybe, nobody real famous...
Yes, a wonderful singer from Upstate, NY named Priscilla Herdman recorded it for one of her albums. She does a very beautiful cover. Hope you can find it to hear her version.
I could not find Priscilla Herdman's cover of this song on CZcams but if you go to her website, she recorded it on her album called, "Forgotten Dreams" and I think you can hear the song from that album on her website.
The most real Love song. By the most talented man of his Time.
There's also a cover by children's entertainer Raffi. His is actually quite good
