I lost my wife 9 years ago. People keep trying to replace her. It seems like they never loved anyo be one. Can you replace the sun. Can you replace a dream. Our wife's do so much for us. Don't forget to thank yours every day and hug her every night. A empty bed is so cold. Thank you Phyllis you left me with a beautiful pot of golden memories.
In 2008 I lost my beautiful daughter and 5 months later my beautiful wife I love them just as much today as I did when they were living they both were one of a kind
my mum loved this song, she heard it live by the fureys when they had just released it, and got the single at the venue.. the lyrics hit different now shes gone
My father just died of pancreatic cancer. I’m absolutely devastated. We loved the times spent in Ireland at his house in Lismore. He never saw it again after he got sick. It’s doesn’t seem real but he loved this song. I listen to it a few days a week. I cry and smile at the same time.
Such a beautiful and meaningful song. May all our loved ones who passed on, rest in eternal peace. God only knows how many nights I've listened to this song and cried bitter tears for my parents ❤️
R.i.p.my darling carlos I will always love you deep in my heart our favourite song love you with all my heart for ever your beloved wife simone r.i.p. my darling love you Lways till we meet again simone chau mi amor...tu esposa simone xxxxxxx
It's my friends birthday today I lost a great friend and drinking buddy 17years ago he introduced me to the Fury's they are a great group those words are wonderful . time is not a great healer it just makes you long for times that used to be sometime the longing hurts so much it's unbearable Happy Birthday Ken Chapplow where ever you are 💔💯
Love this song, makes me think of my husband who passed away in 2009. I learned how to play it on guitar, but have never managed to get through the whole song without crying!!
I lost my Husband who was a huge fan of the Fureys. I had never heard of you before but now you are my favorite. He passed so very quickly , within 18 hours hours. Now all I have is the music he showed me. He was one of the most wonderful men in this whole world and Absent Friends is the most one of the mysteries to me,
My pop pop used to make me burnt CDs of Irish artists. He always said the Fureys were his favorite. Now he lives in these words, of this song when I sing.
Beautiful song! Reminds me of my lovely parents who were from Dublin, they’ve both sadly passed and we miss them every day. Hearing the Dublin accent makes my heart hurt with nostalgia - but it’s also so great to hear it. My mum and her sisters used to sing sweet 16. When my mum passed, my Dad would listen to Finbar and Imelda May singing it and also ‘I wish I had someone to love’ …. he missed my mum terribly, they got together at age 14 and 15 and used to go the dance halls back in Dublin. My mum was a great dancer and my Dad the biggest joker - wonderful people! Love the Furey’s - great story tellers! We’ll be seeing them in May next year in London. Very proud of my Irish ☘️ heritage ❤️
Ya cant be the Dubs for their wit and one liners always sharp as a pencil. Plenty of Dublin accents on tiktok videos if ya want to hear real dubs talkin . Just sayin.
I heard this song 15 years ago in a Dublin pub, I cried as I listened to it. The words were how I felt about losing my grandfather. He was my best friend and always there for me, nearly 20 years later I still miss him every single day. Had forgotten the name of the song over the years but never the feeling it gave me. 2 years ago I messaged the bar I had been in and asked if they knew what the song could have been, and after a few messages they put me on to this! I had it back. Thank you Darkey Kelly's. Xx
It's a mystery to me that 10 people dislike this song. It's beautiful. People drop out of our lives for all sorts of reasons, this song expresses our feelings exactly.
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,so love the people who treat you right,and forget the ones that dont,and believe that everything happens for a reason,if you get a chance take it,if it changes your life let it,nobody said it would be easy,they just promised it would be worth it...The one who holds your hand will never let go!
This is the definitive and absolutely best outstanding version of this song, often copied, never equalled! Sung with passion and belief by George Furey, the anchorman and outstanding guitarist and vocalist of the Fureys over the last 30+ years! Dedicated to all our absent friends! Listen and enjoy!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have EVER heard!!! Man ohhhhhhh man.........I have no words to express what this song brings to me when I listen! (speechless)
I'm not an Irishman , but my love of the music the voices the instruments and songs makes me think that perhaps I was in a previous life 😊.Perhaps I could be an honorary Irishman .
the words brought a tear to my eyes as my mother and brother passed not long ago but it also made me think of my grandfather and aunty beutifull mooving song
william mccrory i hope you both find peace soon with youre god and i hope you find the great strengh that youre going to need both now and after god bless
Lost my dad in 1995 mother 2014 brother in law 2019 uncle 2019plus umpteen friends 2019 this song makes me sad I play this song often for all my absent friends
Lyrics: Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away. I wonder why it never happens for me. It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day. Why you had to go is a mystery to me. What seemed important then becomes trivial when Fate deals the card that forces your hand. All the places we'd been, all the things we had seen, No more in the future; it just isn't planned. It's all very strange, but when you went, I changed. It just seemed to happen with the passing of each day. I don't understand. Is it part of a plan? Does one person grow when another fades away? Small things you'd do weave pictures of you. They're printed for life on the back of my mind. I was always so sure. Your life was so pure. To the faults and to bad times a loved one stays blind. I always found that when you were around, You helped me with worries and eased all my fears. You always had time for problems of mine, A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear.
What an absolutely wonderful beautiful song ~it comes from a place that unfortunately we all have to visit in our lifetime so FEEL PROUD of your mind The writer of this song FAIR PLAY TO YOU
I have sure got of them now the years have gone by I surely miss them all but like others you think you have all the time in the world but as you get old you just have your memories as the song says
I went to see the Fureys the other night,in Luton,and they were superb. Such an enjoyable evening.This is a beautiful song whoch always makes me feel very emotional and think of my lovely Mum and Dad both of whom have passed on.Love you Mum and Dad and miss you so much...
had the pleasure of seeing the furyes at the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe a few months ago and what a great bunch of lads they are and still playing wonderful music after all these years
I lost my wife 9 years ago. People keep trying to replace her. It seems like they never loved anyo be one. Can you replace the sun. Can you replace a dream. Our wife's do so much for us.

Lost my dad in 1995 mother 2014 brother in law 2019 uncle 2019plus umpteen friends 2019 this song makes me sad I play this song often for all my absent friends
When I first heard this song I cried . So very true. My husband's friend found this song in memory of him. Just love it.
Lyrics:
Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away.
I wonder why it never happens for me.
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.
Why you had to go is a mystery to me.
What seemed important then becomes trivial when
Fate deals the card that forces your hand.
All the places we'd been, all the things we had seen,
No more in the future; it just isn't planned.
It's all very strange, but when you went, I changed.
It just seemed to happen with the passing of each day.
I don't understand. Is it part of a plan?
Does one person grow when another fades away?
Small things you'd do weave pictures of you.
They're printed for life on the back of my mind.
I was always so sure. Your life was so pure.
To the faults and to bad times a loved one stays blind.
I always found that when you were around,
You helped me with worries and eased all my fears.
You always had time for problems of mine,
A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear.
Eu procurando a letra, e achei logo de tú? kkkkk
Para músicas sim você tem bom gosto.
beautiful song, my wounds are yet to be healed though x
What wounds are we talking
Leandro Requena A
711ROWDY the wounds that death and the absence of friends and loved ones leaves on us as they die and grow apart
Beautiful song and so sad, always makes me think of my late brother. RIP Mark beloved always xx
found this after my mum passed and the words struck a chord.she passed in 2008 and I always think of her when hearing this
What an absolutely wonderful beautiful song ~it comes from a place that unfortunately we all have to visit in our lifetime so FEEL PROUD of your mind The writer of this song FAIR PLAY TO YOU
I have sure got of them now the years have gone by I surely miss them all but like others you think you have all the time in the world but as you get old you just have your memories as the song says
This song is even more relevent during the covid pandemic and so true how many friends have buried friends and can't even say their goodbyes
Times heals everyday and hope never leave a beautiful heart, a pure heart.
Alot of people say they have your back, relationships are so fragile even good ones, very few have your back
So beautifully sung and related to us all, thankyou.
This song brings memories of my mam who passed away October2011 r.i.p.mam love you Steve
