lost my dad on 28th March 2022 to cancer. this song is beautiful. it speaks so well of our relationship. he taught me to fish, hunt and to be honest, respectful and humble.
I lost my father in December 2023, this was the song sang as he was lowered down. Poignant moment for me. Means the world to me. Thank you for this. Will stay with me all my life. “You watched me come into this world, now I watch you leave it” ❤️❤️
This is not just a song, it is a work of art. Am 31 today, yet I sob like a little boy every time I play this song. May God bless you, GlasgowCeltic88, for uploading this.
My father would have been 83 today. I remember being young in the car with him listening to this in his father's honor. Funny how life goes sometimes. Have a great day everyone.
I lost my mom a little over a year ago and in March my dad was diagnosed with ALS, which has no cure. So my thoughts are often about my father's mortality. This song absolutely has me in tears right now.
Me and the family went to see Phil counter live and my mother just happened to bump into him before he went live and asked him to play this song for my granda who struggle with physical and mental health and I didn’t believe her and he went ahead with singing it forever grateful Phil one of a kind u are 💚👌
I was so touched by this song, that I even dropped a few tears Some time has passed since my old man died away, but hell there is so much truth in these words. "thought he would live for ever, he seemed so big and strong..." Thank you very much for sharing Cheers Sam
I love Phil Coulter. He has given us so much with his beautiful, inspirational music. I've been lucky enough to see him live in concert and what a gentleman he is.
THE OLD MAN The tears have all been shed now We’ve said our last goodbyes His souls been blessed He’s laid to rest And it’s now I feel alone He was more than just my father A teacher my best friend And He’ll still be heard In the tunes we shared When I play them on my own (chorus) I never will forget him For he made me what I am Though he may be gone Memories linger on And I miss him, the old man As a boy he’d take me walkin’ By mountain field and stream And he showed me things Not known to kings And secret between him and me Like the colours on the pheasant As he rises in the dawn Or how to fish and make a wish Beside a fairy tree (chorus) I never will forget him For he made me what I am Though he may be gone Memories linger on And I miss him, the old man I thought he’d live forever He seemed so big and strong But the minutes fly And the years roll by For a father and a son And suddenly when it happened There was so much left unsaid No second chance To tell him thanks For everything he’s done Oh, I never will forget him For he made me what I am Though he may be gone Memories linger on God I miss him, the old man
Phil God bless, Im that egit who wrote u when i was in Saudi, im from Antrim, and guess what im just up the road now in Shankill @ the local hospital, thanks Phil for reply to me when i was in Riyadh, Us nordies still love, this song means a lot to me, as my Da went to Heaven in 91.

I remember I first listened to this song when I was still a young man, and my English wasn’t so good, but I still could understand it’s meaning by feeling it.

아! 도대체 이런 노랠 만드는 사람은, 그리고 이런 노래를 이토록 아름답게 부르는 사람은 어디서 태어났고, 어떤 교육을 받고 어떤 사람들과 사귀며 무슨 책을 많이 읽고 살았을까.... 무릇 예술가는 이쯤 되는 분들을 가리키지 않을까.... 이런 시대에 살고 있어서 참 좋다. 눈물겹게...
wonderful ; I remember when I lost my father September 27, 2003 ; ironically on September 27, 1942 our kinsman Douglas Munro was killed at Guadalcanal and my father long told me that was a date I should never forget.
Having listened to Phil for years, this one hits home. An accomplished musician, I more than admire Phil. Here I am listening to this song on the 15th anniversary of my da's passing, like the song was written for us (of course I am sure so many others feel the same way I do about this song). What a Blessing to hear this. Thanks Phil for your brilliance, talent and heartfelt music! Rest peacefully dad! Miss you so much!
@spillane444 I wished we'd had this played at my grandfather's funeral... Had to have it played at his wake instead... It breaks my heart, yet fills me with pride at the memories of my grandfather, every time I listen to it (like right now as I reply to you!).
Why apologise for the watermark? That's part of the deal when using that unlicensed software. You should apologise for the shameless ripping of Phil's DVD. That said, Phil's creation is awesome and I enjoyed every second of it.
God bless you Phil Coulter I've been listening to your music for many years lost my old man 40 years ago when I was 22 and I've missed him everyday since

My Dad died 32 years ago. This song fits him to a tea! He was born in Ireland and loved his country home. I still miss him!
I lost my father in December 2023, this was the song sang as he was lowered down. Poignant moment for me. Means the world to me. Thank you for this. Will stay with me all my life. “You watched me come into this world, now I watch you leave it” ❤️❤️
My dad died 2 weeks ago following a short battle with cancer. I've listened to this for hours every day. We miss you so much dad !!!!

This is not just a song, it is a work of art. Am 31 today, yet I sob like a little boy every time I play this song. May God bless you, GlasgowCeltic88, for uploading this.

THE OLD MAN
The tears have all been shed now
We’ve said our last goodbyes
His souls been blessed
He’s laid to rest
And it’s now I feel alone
He was more than just my father
A teacher my best friend
And He’ll still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When I play them on my own
(chorus)
I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
As a boy he’d take me walkin’
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
Not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colours on the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
Or how to fish and make a wish
Beside a fairy tree
(chorus)
I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
I thought he’d live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him thanks
For everything he’s done
Oh, I never will forget him
For he made me what I am
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
God I miss him, the old man
Da s gone a few yrs and we had this at his funeral 6 yrs ago and I found it hard to listen back too for a few yrs but not now as it gives me comfort
My dad is a legend... Like all the good dads..
I lost my Dad one month ago and this song expresses exactly how I feel. It's beautiful and painful all at the same time.
No one knows grief until it hits them in the face. Take the memories and treasure them xx
4 years since my dad joined the angels, still have a tear in my eye when I hear this. Beautiful.
i remember watching my dad cry when ever he heard this song and now that he has passed i understand why his tear's fell.....
This song goes to my granddad miss you so much hard to believe you are 13 years gone

Brings .e to tears ......... Because it is from the heart. ... and I miss mine 😥 so much too
Beautiful song well versed one that is felt within the heart bringing wonderful memory's forward ever time i hear it! thank you so much.
I tear up every time I hear this song. I lost my dad when he was 85. This past September 4th, he would have been 102.
Priceless masterpiece!

me too
my beloved father in law died 6 months ago and i miss him, i thought he would live forever
@pogmo147 Its written for all dads who loved and cared for thier children... even for dads that are not blood dads...
@spillane444 I wished we'd had this played at my grandfather's funeral... Had to have it played at his wake instead...
It breaks my heart, yet fills me with pride at the memories of my grandfather, every time I listen to it (like right now as I reply to you!).
It's a pity about the volume --- not enough. Perhaps you could fix it. Or maybe I could get a hearing aid.
John Logan missed thy old man
absolutely dreading the day , me in boston and him in dublin , maybe the fucker will out live me for fuck sake , other dubs will find that funny ,
Tomas RIP
