My grandfather a Canadian Second World War vet, would sing this tune in the car, on Sunday drives. Good memories
Wonderful memories ❤
Wasn't in ww1, not in a trench , but I was an 18 year old in Vietnam in a fighting hole enduring a north Vietnamese 122mm rocket attack . I wish I had heard this song . it would have been a great comfort .
Good on you brother thank you
lie
Welcome home if no one told you brother
@@hoss-lk4bg why would you think that?
Thank you so much for your service.
downton abbey introduced me to this song & i've loved it ever since. it's so beautiful!
daile alexander but the downtown Abbey version is so much better and the only one I like.Its my favorite scene in the movie
Phil Burr here: Sure gotta agree with ya - Loved "Downton Abbey"!
I agree. How much more the beauty to have someone to truly share it with.
My father sang this all the time, but I never heard the verse, only the chorus. I love it.
Could you imagine being 19 years old, sitting in a dank dark trench with death around you, listening to this tune in the trenches?
Seriously, that's one of my biggest dreams. Today I'm sitting in front of computer and I do absolutely nothing - next generations will forget me forever... and ww1 soldiers? They were dying in the name of their countries. And we won't forget them. God, please - if I can't go to heaven, send me to Verdun or Somme. I will do my best...
Back then 19 year olds were extremely mature in comparison to 19 year olds of today. Blame liberals.
@@relaxandrefocuswithmegan extremely vacuous statement
@@zupan1758 I'm in France in Amiens, the seat of Picardie right now... Before you wish Hell upon yourself, spring for a couple of weeks of touring along the hundreds of thousands of graves all throughout this Provice (which is now called Haute de France) then go see the WWI museum in Peronne France.
@@briquetaverne I went to France two years ago, just to see Verdun, Argonne, Vauquois and other WW1-related cities around. I know what I wish for - though I know it is absolutely impossible and I will never be able to understand what Hell is. But if I were told to replace an innocent soldier and die for him in the trenches, I think I could do it. And I don't say this to be, idk, thought of as a hero, I just think that I could do that, moreover, this is just a dream of mine.
Henry Burr is a big favorite of me. He sang verybeautifully and had a so great singing style. I wish more peoples will be fan of him. This song is very beautiful and still very great today.😄👍
Was he Irish? He has a bit of a lilt.
@@relaxandrefocuswithmegan Yes. His birth name was Harry McClaskey.
I love this song but I really enjoy the version by Donald Peers. The lyrics are so beautiful, it always reminds me of my Grandma Sarah who used to sing all the old songs to me
Great pain produces great art they say, and much great art came out of the Great War.
I am 57 and my grandmother taught me this song. I love the old songs. I think Harry Secombe sang this.
I heard this song tonight on Downton Abbey too. I love this recording of this song because it sounds like World War I which is the storyline of the show right now.
Sung for the wounded of WWl on Downton Abbey on PBS as a duet......very touching.
The original is a Duett
I was born a century maybe after this was created, but I could imagine myself being at that time. It's an incredible feeling.
Wow, you write well for a one year old baby!
Heres to you for goin over the top with courage great granpop.
The WWI "We'll Meet Again"
My grandfather God rest his soul used to sing this song.
This is a treasure. Thank you for posting.
Sometimes when I feel bad
and things look blue
I wish a girl I had... say one like you.
Someone within my heart to build her throne
Someone who'd never part, to call my own
If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy.
No-one I'll ever care for dear... but you.
No-one I'll fancy, therefore love me do.
Your eyes have set me dreaming all night long…
Your eyes have set me scheming, right or wrong
If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy
Nothing else would matter in the world today
We could go on loving in the same old way
A garden of Eden just made for two
With nothing to mar our joy
I would say such wonderful things to you
There would be such wonderful things to do
If you were the only girl in the world
and I were the only boy.
This song is AWESOME 😊😊😊
Absolutely lovely.
My Dad used to play this on our piano when I was a young girl. He died aged 53 in 1990.Always loved hearing this.
I love the old photos.Men who never returned.
Beautiful to me..........................
loved the pictures!!
Brings such wonderful memories back Thanks to U Tube all can still enjoy .DH.
Wonderful pictures !
cliffford Yes, aren't they?
Bridge on the River Kwai introduced me to this song :) David Lean's finest direction
this song bangs
true
I see there's a lot of people that know this song from Downton Abbey, anyone here like me who knows it from Charmed?
So sweet!!!!!
Good sound quality for a hundred-year-old recording!
Probably because the Recording was issued by His Master's Voice and they usto supply the British Royal family
Right...who were the seventeen cretins who downthumbed this wonderful song...?
Thanks.
This song was published and is always performed as a waltz; this recording is unusual. It's also very beautiful - as Henry Burr's records always are. Thanks for the eye-opener.
***** I'll try, a love to teach, dear, fond and true
I sigh, a world to reach, dear, just made for me and you
Bless our boys then and now ❤and the non humans animal who didn't understand but died for us nevertheless..
My favourite version of this song. Can you please tell me where I can find it? I couldn't find this version on iTunes :(
Downton Abbey brought me here.
@Sk8erPunk8 its a love song... about a guy and a girl... its not about war
The question is, did Burr record this also as a waltz? The effect is stunning and highly emotionally wrenching on Downton Abbey, most notably when the strings cut in when Mary stops singing... This should never be done in 4/4, as it doesn't work: too bad they probably requested H.B. to sing it this way. Tch. There is also a 20's dance record (waltz) with Scrappy Lambert doing the vocal, very nice indeed. 🐸
@sillyg800 I just heard this tonihgt on Downton Abbey I love your story
wow. what happened to the music industry??
The pepper shaker got spilled 🤢
because of some imperialist people millions of loves relationships marriages were cut short the husbands that their wifes the loves that their huns waited never never come back the world and history will never forget...
Same song Mary and Matthew sing in Downton Abbey
Sad
Birdsong (pp144) brought me here...
@Sk8erPunk8 neither? totally unrelated in my opinion.
The original Upstairs Downstairs, 1970's tv series, the writing and acting of which puts Downton Abbey to shame, brought me here. WWI era England is portrayed so meaningfully and poignantly in Upstairs Downstairs, the original from the 1970's. I like Downton Abbey as well, lavish production, but it truly pales in comparison and was lifted almost whole cloth from this original tv series of the 1970's. Season 4, episode 7 is titled after this romantic song.
I'm watching it now.
Have you ever heard of Google?
Rrianna modernized this song
