    I woke up with this song in my head! A 1976 song living in 2020.

    One of my favorite songs of all time. It will be in my personal cd that I want played at my funeral, as it speaks to my credo of "showering those that I love with love" ...time is short and no one knows when their own number will be called.

    I was at Hamricks today and I heard this song playing. I never heard it b4 n something about the lyrics touched me so I wrote down what I cud remember and I'm here now. Such a beautiful song. Yesterday I went to c my gma at the hospital and she been there for the last 6-7 yrs. She told me that I come and c her more than any of her own kids. Smh. Today I found out she passed away. She was 75. Ladies and gents plz don't let another day go by w/out telling ur fam/friends that u care n that u love them. U never know when it will be ur last time seeing them. Peace n love from Ft Bragg, NC.

    Had the privilege of seeing this legend live some years ago on tour in Australia. Was only a few rows from him, what a superb, moving concert and that guitar picking.Thanks to those responsible for putting this classic music online.

    You can play the game and you can act out the part
    Though you know it wasn't written for you
    But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
    Ashamed of playing the fool
    One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
    Oh, father and mother,and sister and brother
    if it feels nice, don't think twice (yes)

    @beluro7 14 лет назад

    You can run but you cannot hide
    This is widely known
    And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
    When you're all by yourself alone
    Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
    You can feel it beginning to ease
    I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
    Always getting the grease.

    I love the idea of 'showering people' like rain on the people we love. I've lost too many people in the past and I NEVER told them how much I loved them.Stupid or what? Maybe it's a man thing.

      Frank Burns I lost my wife last September. I wish I had told her more often. We often think there's always tomorrow, and then one day there isn't

    • @frankburns8946
      @frankburns8946 9 лет назад +1

      Rick Ernest I am so very sorry to hear that. What you say is SO right. I have lost people and later thought to myself ''Why didn't I tell them THAT!'' As you say...too late after they have gone. My parents died many years ago...and in hospital at their bedside I felt embarrassed to hold their hands in the final hours. Now I regret that so much. We were never 'tactile' you see. Never really hugged. Now...My nieces 2 boys...9 and 11... I hug them each time I see them. can't imagine life without my family. I wish I had also told friends who have drifted away just how much they meant to me. Men find it SO hard to 'let go' of their feelings. Stupidly so. Thank you once again for your comment. It's a Saturday night here...your words are ringing in my ears. Open a bottle of white wine if you have one and toast her memory.
