    My name is Amanda and my mom introduced me to Don Williams song about my name, when i was little! She'd sing it to me a lot. I'm 39 now and still love and adore this song. He honestly sets you at ease. Amazing singer.

      Yes, one of the best songs ever written and Don Williams sang it fantastically, yet... when it was released in 1973 it only made it to #33 on the country music charts???!! Are you as shocked as I am by that fact? Until I found that out recently, for decades I had assumed it reached #1.

    I saw Don in 1979 at the Silver Dollar in Austin, Texas. He came out, sat on a stool and mesmerized the audience for the better part of two hours. He’d sing a tune, chat a little and then go into another of his hits. We were filled with a peace, a joy and a strong sense of quiet reassurance. It was a unique experience and night I’ll never forget.

      Don Williams and Jim Reeves are two of a kind never again to have, even as a near imitation.
      Each of their songs had a message, meaning and a heart to appeal to.
      Many miss you, Don, so, sooooo much!!!

Hall in Slidell La..The way they were looking at one another with so much LOVE ..made me tear up a little bit ..I was a little embarrassed when my best friend noticed and made a silly comment.. My Dad passedaway afew years ago and now my beutiful Mother struggles with Alzhemers ....I would give everything I own if I could go back in time to that night..the great thing is that everytime I hear this song I kind of do ...Peace and Lets Love One Another A Little Bit More ..David Lee

I started liking it and played it in my truck when he wasn't with me because I had always made fun of it, calling it "hill-billy music." Well, I finally let him know I was a fan also and ate crow. Almost fifty years later our business is still going well and I am a long time country music lover and this song is the one that started it for me. Thank you Mr. Williams.

      version best but she knows she's named Amanda from Don's original version ❤

    That was my first wife's name, She past away 10 months ago. She was born 1979 which is actually when the video was shot. I used tell her that I'll luv her forever and ever. And I still say that to her whenever I visit her grave. forever and ever still stands. She was only 35. I still think about her every day, 28 is too young to be a widower and 35 is too young to go.
