I played this on my guitar for my millennial neighbors. They said omg did you write that? I said no it's bread. So now I hear bread playing through the neighborhood. It's the small things really
I was in H.S. in the late 80's & I had a history teacher that would play mellow music, including Bread's greatest hits during class study times. I'm really thankful she turned them onto me as I came to love pretty much every song on that album.
1976 My dad and me alone. He lost his job and we moved in with friends. Sad times for a lost 16 year old. Best of Bread 8-track helped me cry my self to sleep at night. Still takes me back. ❤️
I grew up in the 70's with their songs around me. every time I hear them i am transported into the warm summer past. It fills me with both happiness and sadness. All those wonderful memories. Thank you 'Bread'.
Bread were one of first super groups I recall. Everyone put around David Gates. And what a band. My favourite has to be Aubrey and guitar man. Awsome band. Play them all the time So heart warming and harmonic. Just beautiful.
Many songs take me back to the 70s like a place marked in time by different music with different memories. I don't know if kids nowadays have that but they sure are missing an important part of life. If you can't look back how do you know where you are or where you're going?
Back in the 70's I was too cool to like music like this, but now as a grown man I am crying my eyes out over how beautiful and moving it is. What fantastic talent Bread was.
I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I was 14 in 1972 and I ate up David Gate’s bittersweet ballads. I also loved rock n roll, drank and smoked too much, and was not uncool. Now, I am sending this song to my 22-year-old daughter, who has the same taste, and will send others to her every once in awhile. Another one I relish is Guitar Man. A long time ago I went with my father, who was a crooner, to a piano bar and for a last song I requested ‘If’. He immediately recognized what a poetic and beautiful lament it is. The songs speak across the generations.
I was 22 when this song was on the radio. I don't know how it never made it to #1. If I were to introduce one song of the 70's to the millenials these days, it would be this one. As a music major, and one who has done some song writing myself I can appreciate the effort it takes to create something like this. The song is beautiful, from the lyrics to the melody and to the arrangement It is flawless. My favorite song of that decade!

I just bought it last week and I’m 17. Discovered Bread recently and fell in love with their sound. Nothing better than listening to good music, especially on vinyl.
It takes a rare love to let his woman go after learning she is not in love with him. It takes even a stronger love to give her blessings as she leaves him for the one she truly loves. BREAD is so deep with their lyrics, which is what always make them a classic group. U should check out "It don't Matter to me"....another deep thought by them.
My mother of 97 years old lived through the great depression and unimaginable hardships, she told me once one thing she cannot bear to see is a grown man cry, it just tears her apart. She grew up around lumberjacks and some farmers. She said men of that era were so strong that if they finally did break they had done everything possible and some impossible to make it. We live on the backs of giants.
Any guy with a soul can relate to this and feel the pain it evokes. That's the mark of a well-written song. David Gates never got much credit for his songwriting abilities; it was his voice matched to the mood of his compositions that elicited all the airplay and the girlie fans.
The sweetest song I ever heard in my life and one that I have loved for over forty years! Total classic. Thank you David Gates and the guys for a song that will be with me for the rest of my life.
Damn, I am 26 years old, wasn't around during Bread's heyday but damn I wish I was. Grew up listening to Bread, my Father and Grandmother love these guys and godammit so do I. Why can't music today be as poetic and as thoughtful as this. Such an amazing track from an even more amazing band.
If you look hard enough you'll be able to find modern music with the same amount of deep meaning as this song. They are significantly rarer today and they don't often become popular. I recommend you listen to daughter specifically their songs smother and youth. They have a lot of good stuff :)
Rae Anne Sure, I'll give that a shot. I know of a few modern bands that do as well but not primarily. Iron Maiden has a few that border that style and Rush as well, such as Rush's song "Different Strings" or and the live version of Maiden's song "Journeyman". There are others I cannot think of at the moment but I'll give them a listen, thanks.
Clever, thoughtful lyrics like these are rare these days. This is a generous acknowledgement of some people's ever changing emotions, (even our partner's) which we can't control. Bread's best.
I'm a 75 year old English man and I grew up with their songs. The beauty of their words makes me cry. I thought I was foolish to be affected in this way so it is reassuring that others are affected in the same way.
Every time I hear this song when he sings "I found her diary under the tree" I scream, "NO DAVID! DON'T DO IT! DON'T READ IT!" But he never listens to me. He opens it and starts reading.
I love this song so much I had a girl that I was very much in love with but as the song says the one she waited for was someone else not me. It broke my heart. But I found out she went to on to marry a very fine man and have a good life so I have to be happy for her,, But sometimes it just does not stop the tears that flow when I hear this song from way back in the early seventies, But I wish her well God bless her and thanks for the good times..
Can anyone please tell me whatever happen those sweet, innocent, and tender times of our lives? Those were GOOD days gone by :( This black man is now 55, military vet, and shedding more tears, wishing to take a leap back to those happy years. Oh well..., you folks have a splendid and blessed day, okay.
You know it's too bad that there aren't tender, thought provoking songs like that anymore. I mean songs that were played on the AM radio band. I think those songs were called, "middle of the road" music, if I recall. It's between soft and rock. Other artists like, AMERICA, Three Dog Night, Firefall, Orleans, and Dan Fogelberg, would fall in that category.
paula maricle Paula......, you are welcome. :-) I think you and I have the same thoughts regarding music, actually a whole different culture than what we grew up in. Sometimes I ask myself, what happen to America. It wasn't the same America we grew up in during the 1970s. Oh well.....you have great day Paula.
It's just not the same music is not as good thank God for ipods for my songs are only a second away and for RUclips and to all the beautiful people who share these songs,God Bless 🌹
I'm 18, obsessed wt this generation's new songs... but I heard this once on the radio my mom listening to... and dang! how come it got into me, strikes me hard that made me think I'm unfortunate that I was not born during this era where music can touch someone's soul.
You are just showing your feelings and it shows you are a beautiful person and your 💓 is wonderful there are so many more Aubrey,by bread they have many Everything I owned,is my favorite bread song ,my personal favorite is John Lennon his music is great ,the Beatles I can't get enough,thank you
I'm 13 and almost all millennials are obsessed with modern day musics. My brother was the one who said I should listen to this and carefully read the lyrics. It's heartbreaking in the most calming way. Old songs are so poetic and meaningful. I just simply love it. Gotta listen more from Bread :))
I think it's wonderful that you're listening to some of the most beautiful songs and groups that made the 60s and early 70s the best times in my life. At 75 I am so grateful our generation was for love ❤ not hate. Sadly so many young people are not In this mindset. Our quote still stands as one which should be spoken in the 21st century. Make love Not war.. PEACE to you and all of My generation. We lived this.
One of the most beautiful songs made at that time, still holds true today. The feeling and the simplistic vocal and arrangement that hits you right in your heart. I fell in love at an early age with an older girl. Sad to say things changed, mistakes of a misguided youth & yet this song...I lived during a time when girls had diaries some may still have them, it was a good time. Many are gone, innocence lost, age & time take it's toll on our lives. But music like this remains with us to feel, enjoy, & reminisce. Peace 2 ya who remember what it was like back in the day.
When I was a small, small child, my father sings me this song till maybe I fall asleep. Now he's gone, I'm trying to recall those memories of him singing this song. I wish I could still hear him sing this song even just in my dreams. I love you, Papa. The one and only man in my life.
Beautiful, and created with great sensitivity, the tree, the diary, the smudgy tears on the writing... it's all there. Well done to convey the song. Bravo.
This music and time in my life is what I remember most. Be it a warm Sunday evening, walking to school or working my paper route, I felt full of life with everything I learned. Ed Sullivan, duck Clark, don Cornelius, don Kirchner, Casey Kasem and others were all I needed to get by on... Peace to you all for listening and your thoughtful words. Im now 65. Id listen to "soft rock", r&b and gospel all the time and I still do.
Im HOH, was deaf til 1976 and first thing i heard was my older sister playing Bread album on her record player..So Bread holds a huge part of my life for that reason and they are my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND!!! 🤗💞 I've LOVED music ever since! (Oh, and dancing!)
This was always been one of my favorite songs, i remember playing this before i go to sleep. I was so young to realized how selfless this song is, the last two lines speak volumes "All the good things she can find, all the sweet things they can find."
This song is just so beautiful ❤️ You can feel all the emotions ❤️ wish i live through their years back then. Would love to hear them singing their songs live. Especially Aubrey ❤️
I first heard found this band by accident I didn't know the name of the band even I listeened to the album over and over back then was 14yrs old I'm 54 now and over the past 40yrs I've found myself cotinuely finding my way back to listening to them there are no words to say how these songs make me feel or the memories old and new I've got now because of the wonderful guys in the band know as BREAD. Thanks guys you've do a great thing by Gracing us with this pleasure. 9
I am 61. I introduced my little kids to this song and now they want to say something. "I loved it!" Why? "Because it..." "I'll tell them ... the first time I heard it...the second time I heard it was now...I really think that it is a good song. I especially like the first part." "It feels like it is in the summertime and it is sad and happy at the same time." Thank you Gabriel, age 7.5 and Pia age 5.9.
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 12 yrs old. Remember the moment that song touched me. The bittersweet tears ... This song still makes me cry.
Im 13 years old now and I love the songs from the past and this song plays on the radio of my mama many times me and my mama and papa listening to this song and its beautiful until now were still listening to the radio and Im waiting for verry beautiful old songs when I heard a beautiful song and I dont what it is, I asked mama whats the title and search it in youtube and while me and mama listening to songs on radio, were singing too
Everytime I listen to this song a tear comes to my eye. Such sad, beautiful lyrics and phrasing. David Gates had several great songs, but this is my favorite.
My childhood friend, my first love, just got wed. I still love her, even now. So every time I hear the lyrics "And as I go through my life, I will wish for her HIS wife", it hits a bittersweet chord on me. I'll always love you... Always...
@Ben Lee You can say sometimes again. The main reason I still watch that once great, now shitfest called The Simpsons is because of Tress MacNeille. That woman happens to be my favorite voice actress ever. And losing her might even be the only way that show is ever gonna end.
I was 22 and just was getting married when this came out beautiful then much more beautiful today! Thank You David Gates and Bread ! I had you on my old 8 track in the car! Love it.
It has been many years since I heard this song, I think I heard this on a road trip in a car when I was little. The Simpsons played it in tribute to Edna, voiced by the wonderful Marcia Wallace and I forgot how moving this song was. Edna has one of the best character arcs on the show. To see her go through all that hardship, from overcoming past relationships ... I'm glad she found happiness at the end. She was a great balance for Ned and the boys. Marcia Wallace portrayed what every school teacher should strive to be, whilst maybe having a tough outer exterior they have that deep inner core to help kids out and persevere no matter what. It's why she stayed in Springfield after all. Albeit I miss her from the show, it is a tremendous sign of respect from her colleagues to retire the character when Marcia passed, knowing that no one could ever truly match the wonderful character she had created. I hope you inspire many generations of teachers to come. We will really miss you Mrs K.
Just when you think she likes you, all the signs she gives you, it’s all in your head- an imagination you created cause you wanted it. She was never yours, despite my aching heart i will wish her the best :/
I was pining over lost love as a young feller. My granny said to me "Son, if they don't want you, you don't want them." Now all these years later, I see the wisdom in those words.
My love was unrequited, and I spent so much time trying to control the situation, trying to get her to "realize" what we had. Letting go was excruciating and took yet another long time. This song pierces my heart every time. How can such a sad reality be made into such a beautiful song?
I first heard this song during my freshman year of college down in Orlando. I was doing my Gen Ed and my philosophy professor played this for the whole class. I loved the song and it introduced me to Bread as a whole lol. Even though this song doesn’t really relate to my situation, I sometimes think of this one girl in that class that I never made a move on whenever I hear this. She had dark hair, wore glasses, used to wear lots of band shirts, and crack her knuckles a lot lol. She and I always sat and waited near each other. We interacted for a bit but I never had the courage to take it any further. I regret not taking an action. There’s a chance that I might see her again seeing that I’m still at that university (albeit in my final year), but I’m hoping that maybe she might visit this video again one day and remember how it was back in that class. I learned my lesson though, I’m never gonna pass up a girl I think I might wanna ask out again.
Damn. I hope you get to see her again one day and fix your mistake. It’s good that you learned from the experience though. Life is far too short for regrets my friend!
Es verdad la voz de David Gagues es tan linda y mágica q te llega muy dentro del corazón mas con esta bonita canción otrq de mis favoritas para siempre🎵💖🎵🎼🎵🎹🎸😔😔😪
Healed over many heart breaks with many Bread tunes since I was 15 ! 42 years ago damn lol. Thanks Bread :) BTw She's mine now with 5 beautiful kids 36 years later .. so hang in there the right one will come...Don't give up !!!
RUAmplified - Ignore all the stupid references to the edible stuff. Good for you, they were a fantastic group. If you like this give Gabrielle's 1999 album 'Rise' a try. This is also very thought provoking in parts. But then it does remind me of the past.....same as some Bread tracks do.
So many great songs by this amazing band. It don't matter to me, If, The guitar man. Aww, takes me back to great times growing up in the 70s. Life was easy, sweet and fun back then, sending love to my fellow 70s generation, may you be safe during this crazy time. ❤
For some reason, this song just kept rattling around in my head for the last couple days. Finally, the title came to mind and I here I am listening to it again after so many years. I plan to share it with my peers who are also in their 70s.
This teen from the 90's is glad to have been raised by a mom who was a teen in the 70's. Thanks to Bread I have the name Aubrey and this is my favorite song.
59 now at the time things were hard but these songs seemed to help get through them . God bless all serving or not music is always a way of expressing life ,emotions, hard times and good times.
I bought the single here in Germany in the mid-70s, didn't know the group and was fascinated. The beautiful singing and the instrumentation. Since then I've listened to all of this group's music.
I'm sorry but anyone else thinks this wife is a bit of a cow? Marrying some other poor man that she doesn't love is hardly 'waiting for' her true love. And then the bint leaves her diary all over the place for him to find because she doesn't have the decency and courage to tell him herself. Well rid, Mr. Bread! (But it is a lovely song).
@bigpippie littlepippiesmomma I think she did make it clear and I think she did it on purpose (This is hilarious, listen to me going on as if they were real!)
Love this group the songs are just so touching with so much meaning I just lost my dad ,and the words to the song everything I own was posted by my little brother since then I have not stop listening to this group where can I purchase their album love them

Wonderful
Yeah, I totally wrote this !
Damn. I'm high and this comment gave my mind the greatest trip into a beautiful 1980s movie of a normal neighborhood in the 70s. ❤❤
OK, that Was so very surprising from this lovely song greetings from Mexico

Why the hell do we only realise how good some music is when we get to old age...
Unfortunately they were too busy getting drunk or high in the 70's to even notice...and then DISCO took care of the rest!

I first bought the vinyl album of "The Best of Bread" when I was 21. I'm now 66 and still love it - so many memories!
Reminds me of an Alan Partridge scene. He was asked what his favourite Beatles album was. His answer - 'Best of the Beatles'. Made me chuckle 😄
I just bought it last week and I’m 17. Discovered Bread recently and fell in love with their sound. Nothing better than listening to good music, especially on vinyl.
I'm now 66 and still love the album "The Best of Bread"". I bought it 1978. I was 21 years old. What a beautiful coincidence.
It takes a rare love to let his woman go after learning she is not in love with him. It takes even a stronger love to give her blessings as she leaves him for the one she truly loves. BREAD is so deep with their lyrics, which is what always make them a classic group. U should check out "It don't Matter to me"....another deep thought by them.

David Gates wrote and sung all of these songs. A master.
I just said this a while ago, “diary” and “it don’t matter to me” is what i’ll say if anyone asks me what love is.
My mother of 97 years old lived through the great depression and unimaginable hardships, she told me once one thing she cannot bear to see is
a grown man cry, it just tears her apart. She grew up around lumberjacks and some farmers. She said men of that era were so strong that if they finally did break they had done everything possible and some impossible to make it. We live on the backs of giants.
There's nothing wrong with a man crying. Shows empathy and emotional maturity. Better than hiding behind booze or drugs which many "strong" men do...

+Schyler Silvey Saw them when I was in college. Loved their songs.
Then you would have to be 58 like me. No doubt though, we had so much great music back then.
Of course it can be. Write your poetry, create your music. Don't you know, music is timeless, and ageless. Welcome, Young Voyager.
Clever, thoughtful lyrics like these are rare these days. This is a generous acknowledgement of some people's ever changing emotions, (even our partner's) which we can't control. Bread's best.
Well said..
Plenty of people are still making thoughtful music. Don't be so entitled.

Can anyone please tell me whatever happen those sweet, innocent, and tender times of our lives?
Those were GOOD days gone by :(
This black man is now 55, military vet, and shedding more tears, wishing to take a leap back to those happy years.
Oh well..., you folks have a splendid and blessed day, okay.
You know it's too bad that there aren't tender, thought provoking songs like that anymore. I mean songs that were played on the AM radio band. I think those songs were called, "middle of the road" music, if I recall. It's between soft and rock.
Other artists like, AMERICA, Three Dog Night, Firefall, Orleans, and Dan Fogelberg, would fall in that category.
simpler times gone by, reliving my teenage years listening to some good music. Thank you for service Tony Mul.
paula maricle
Paula......, you are welcome. :-)
I think you and I have the same thoughts regarding music, actually a whole different culture than what we grew up in.
Sometimes I ask myself, what happen to America. It wasn't the same America we grew up in during the 1970s.
Oh well.....you have great day Paula.
Beautiful thank you
It's just not the same music is not as good thank God for ipods for my songs are only a second away and for RUclips and to all the beautiful people who share these songs,God Bless 🌹
I'm 18, obsessed wt this generation's new songs... but I heard this once on the radio my mom listening to... and dang! how come it got into me, strikes me hard that made me think I'm unfortunate that I was not born during this era where music can touch someone's soul.
Ayo GG - Please give some of their other stuff a try. 'Make It With You' , 'Sweet Surrender' and 'Guitar Man' are also superb.
You are just showing your feelings and it shows you are a beautiful person and your 💓 is wonderful there are so many more Aubrey,by bread they have many Everything I owned,is my favorite bread song ,my personal favorite is John Lennon his music is great ,the Beatles I can't get enough,thank you
My 45 year old son tells me that he feels left out by not being a teen in the sixties. It was a great time.
É um grande privilégio ter vivido essa época.
I'm 12
I'm 13 and almost all millennials are obsessed with modern day musics. My brother was the one who said I should listen to this and carefully read the lyrics. It's heartbreaking in the most calming way. Old songs are so poetic and meaningful. I just simply love it. Gotta listen more from Bread :))

Lol hope you're not like this anymore mate
No
I think it's wonderful that you're listening to some of the most beautiful songs and groups that made the 60s and early 70s the best times in my life. At 75 I am so grateful our generation was for love ❤ not hate. Sadly so many young people are not In this mindset. Our quote still stands as one which should be spoken in the 21st century. Make love Not war.. PEACE to you and all of My generation. We lived this.
Im a millennial and I know more old songs than new ones. I listen lots of 60s-80s songs with my father
Loved growing up in this time period, I'd go back in a split second if I had the chance
Only with the knowledge I have now, then it would be amazing.
Me too
How many of us found ourselves in the same situation. What a great song and even better Band!
Similar situation. I accidentally found my ex wife FBing a guy from her work. It was somehow in my E-mails. I read it...not good 😢
One of the most beautiful songs made at that time, still holds true today. The feeling and the simplistic vocal and arrangement that hits you right in your heart. I fell in love at an early age with an older girl. Sad to say things changed, mistakes of a misguided youth & yet this song...I lived during a time when girls had diaries some may still have them, it was a good time. Many are gone, innocence lost, age & time take it's toll on our lives.
But music like this remains with us to feel, enjoy, & reminisce.
Peace 2 ya who remember what it was like back in the day.
Lance Corporal?
I love this band. I grew up listening my babysitter in the 70 played them all the time and it's always stayed with me. I love. Their music .
Nice. haiku reply. Debbie.
When I was a small, small child, my father sings me this song till maybe I fall asleep. Now he's gone, I'm trying to recall those memories of him singing this song.
I wish I could still hear him sing this song even just in my dreams. I love you, Papa. The one and only man in my life.
I was listening to Everything I Own when my dad passed. Godspeed
That is Absolutely Beautiful . God Bless You and Your Papa 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
My dad played this song as well , and it makes me sad hearing it x
I was moved by your comment. My dad's been gone for over 40 years, and I miss him too.
Close your eyes,listen to the song,and your papa's voice will come through. Such memories. 💙
Bread accompanied me through my teens in the 70's...I still love EVERY one of their songs...THANK YOU David for being such an amazing singer
Same here! I listened to them constantly. When everyone else was listening to that other stuff....I enjoyed Bread ❤
13 yrs old.Under my girlfriends
Window.1973.I still know every word.Rene'
I'm 71 and still play this album, their best! Love Bread!
Beautiful, and created with great sensitivity, the tree, the diary, the smudgy tears on the writing... it's all there. Well done to convey the song. Bravo.
this song is so much memorable to my life..
It's called 'imagery', and a lot of songs tend to forget that nowadays that they feel like empty words.

This music and time in my life is what I remember most.
Be it a warm Sunday evening, walking to school or working my paper route, I felt full of life with everything I learned.
Ed Sullivan, duck Clark, don Cornelius, don Kirchner, Casey Kasem and others were all I needed to get by on...
Peace to you all for listening and your thoughtful words. Im now 65. Id listen to "soft rock", r&b and gospel all the time and I still do.
Im HOH, was deaf til 1976 and first thing i heard was my older sister playing Bread album on her record player..So Bread holds a huge part of my life for that reason and they are my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND!!! 🤗💞
I've LOVED music ever since! (Oh, and dancing!)

Born in 2000 and i heard this song its so beautiful and sad. Now who's with me in 2021 playing this song?
Another great song by bread.....Love all of their songs.....
This was always been one of my favorite songs, i remember playing this before i go to sleep. I was so young to realized how selfless this song is, the last two lines speak volumes "All the good things she can find, all the sweet things they can find."

Breaks my heart. You can feel his pain. It's pain most of us have felt some time in our lives.
Tango Eliott Actually this very song is a song of a time where the girl broke my heart and this song reminds me of that time all those many years ago.
***** Well it just shows you have a good heart and I hope much love and many good things since that time.

so true
If you can shove words such as "disconcerting" to a song and make it sweet...that's genius!
Haha I was just noticing that myself.

All the songs of bread fantastic and the lyrics very touchable and meaningful . Unforgettable music of Bread.thank you so much.
This song simply reminds me of my puppy love.. That diary! Love those yesteryears!
I am 61. I introduced my little kids to this song and now they want to say something. "I loved it!" Why? "Because it..." "I'll tell them ... the first time I heard it...the second time I heard it was now...I really think that it is a good song. I especially like the first part." "It feels like it is in the summertime and it is sad and happy at the same time." Thank you Gabriel, age 7.5 and Pia age 5.9.
Great, sentimental, poetic, soothing ....... BREAD! The pride of the 1970s. Love these tunes so much! Wow! * Cav *

Everytime I listen to this song a tear comes to my eye. Such sad, beautiful lyrics and phrasing. David Gates had several great songs, but this is my favorite.
My childhood friend, my first love, just got wed. I still love her, even now. So every time I hear the lyrics "And as I go through my life, I will wish for her HIS wife", it hits a bittersweet chord on me.
I'll always love you...
Always...
Sorry brother. Been there.

The latest episode of The Simpsons brought me here when Bart found the diary of his late teacher, Edna Krabappel.
Sometimes the Simpsons can really hit the heart. Homer and his mom was my fave.
@Ben Lee You can say sometimes again. The main reason I still watch that once great, now shitfest called The Simpsons is because of Tress MacNeille. That woman happens to be my favorite voice actress ever. And losing her might even be the only way that show is ever gonna end.
Me too.
I remember this song but hadn't ever really listened to the lyrics.
Heartbreaking. To love someone that much.
Stfu
same bro episode 11 hehe
I was 22 and just was getting married when this came out beautiful then much more beautiful today! Thank You David Gates and Bread ! I had you on my old 8 track in the car! Love it.
The words of this song humble this old man and bring him to tears every time he hears it.....

Just rekindling myself with this amazing group..the words..the voice.. harmony..bliss all rolled up in one very sweet loaf of Bread
Im 71 yrs Old but still love to hear this Music.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It has been many years since I heard this song, I think I heard this on a road trip in a car when I was little. The Simpsons played it in tribute to Edna, voiced by the wonderful Marcia Wallace and I forgot how moving this song was. Edna has one of the best character arcs on the show. To see her go through all that hardship, from overcoming past relationships ... I'm glad she found happiness at the end. She was a great balance for Ned and the boys. Marcia Wallace portrayed what every school teacher should strive to be, whilst maybe having a tough outer exterior they have that deep inner core to help kids out and persevere no matter what. It's why she stayed in Springfield after all.
Albeit I miss her from the show, it is a tremendous sign of respect from her colleagues to retire the character when Marcia passed, knowing that no one could ever truly match the wonderful character she had created. I hope you inspire many generations of teachers to come.
We will really miss you Mrs K.
ruclips.net/video/vEJ99NhLQ5Y/видео.html
« If you can teach one kid to do one thing, today will be a success » So much heart that teacher had in the show , We miss you Ms.K

Just when you think she likes you, all the signs she gives you, it’s all in your head- an imagination you created cause you wanted it. She was never yours, despite my aching heart i will wish her the best :/
I was pining over lost love as a young feller. My granny said to me "Son, if they don't want you, you don't want them." Now all these years later, I see the wisdom in those words.
I feel it too.. We're all powerless when our hearts were broke
She does like you. all the signs she gives you, it is all real. but you are not the one she truly loves.

A very loved and one of the most popular love songs during the times! So beautiful and lovely song!
My love was unrequited, and I spent so much time trying to control the situation, trying to get her to "realize" what we had. Letting go was excruciating and took yet another long time. This song pierces my heart every time. How can such a sad reality be made into such a beautiful song?
When you are happy you enjoy the music , but when you are sad you understand the lyrics ! 😂
This the first Bread song I fell on love.. its as if Im watching or reading a novel... tha story behind the music.. old musics really is ❤️
I'm 70 years young & I'm listening to this great song on Monday, 8/16/2021.
I first heard this song during my freshman year of college down in Orlando. I was doing my Gen Ed and my philosophy professor played this for the whole class. I loved the song and it introduced me to Bread as a whole lol. Even though this song doesn’t really relate to my situation, I sometimes think of this one girl in that class that I never made a move on whenever I hear this. She had dark hair, wore glasses, used to wear lots of band shirts, and crack her knuckles a lot lol. She and I always sat and waited near each other. We interacted for a bit but I never had the courage to take it any further. I regret not taking an action. There’s a chance that I might see her again seeing that I’m still at that university (albeit in my final year), but I’m hoping that maybe she might visit this video again one day and remember how it was back in that class. I learned my lesson though, I’m never gonna pass up a girl I think I might wanna ask out again.
Damn. I hope you get to see her again one day and fix your mistake. It’s good that you learned from the experience though. Life is far too short for regrets my friend!
@@giornobeneviste2479 It most certainly is. Thanks for the words.
Beautiful! Cannot find songs like this anymore. It's sad to say.

Healed over many heart breaks with many Bread tunes since I was 15 ! 42 years ago damn lol. Thanks Bread :) BTw She's mine now with 5 beautiful kids 36 years later .. so hang in there the right one will come...Don't give up !!!
1972 was a really good year.
The music was great in the 70s
@@toddeidson7520 yea
yes...I agree...not only the music, but in September 1972, I first met my wife in school....
You're so lucky to experience that sir :)
Too young to vote for McGovern though.
22 yrs old, I took my dad's cd of Bread and is now on repeat in my car
I was that 22 year old, and i loved Bread, such sweet, soft, good music! Glad to hear your father was once very cool, probably still is!!
i was that 13 years old, and i love Bread , such sweet , very soft to pinch and very delicious .. and my father bought it every morning .
I was that fetus year old, and i love Bread, such sweet, very healthy.. and it always came to my mother
RUAmplified - Ignore all the stupid references to the edible stuff. Good for you, they were a fantastic group. If you like this give Gabrielle's 1999 album 'Rise' a try. This is also very thought provoking in parts. But then it does remind me of the past.....same as some Bread tracks do.
This song is beautiful it's very sad because it's how it goes the woman he loves ,loves someone else kind of my life story
I listened to this song at hang outs in the 70s, I didn't have jukebox money, it was wow! Even back then 😉
Some hidden treasure that only ancestors have a good time to listen this songs, i'm only 18 yrs old but i love this so much

For some reason, this song just kept rattling around in my head for the last couple days. Finally, the title came to mind and I here I am listening to it again after so many years. I plan to share it with my peers who are also in their 70s.
A teen in the 70`s.................I`m glad that was me
This teen from the 90's is glad to have been raised by a mom who was a teen in the 70's. Thanks to Bread I have the name Aubrey and this is my favorite song.

Absolutely Beautiful Masterpiece from David Gates and Bread, music at its very best
I bought the single here in Germany in the mid-70s, didn't know the group and was fascinated. The beautiful singing and the instrumentation.
Since then I've listened to all of this group's music.
"I will wish for her his wife."
Thats true love
I'm sorry but anyone else thinks this wife is a bit of a cow? Marrying some other poor man that she doesn't love is hardly 'waiting for' her true love. And then the bint leaves her diary all over the place for him to find because she doesn't have the decency and courage to tell him herself. Well rid, Mr. Bread! (But it is a lovely song).
@bigpippie littlepippiesmomma No. 'twas a reply to Brian Wiseman! (:
@bigpippie littlepippiesmomma I think she did make it clear and I think she did it on purpose (This is hilarious, listen to me going on as if they were real!)
