@@comeoninmykitchen82There's still real country singers out there, but it's a lot harder to find them these days, that's true - and they don't come from Trashville, that's for sure
Lonnie, you are right. I just went to a funeral service today, and thank God my friend lived long enough to see his children grow. He was a hell of a man. Rip my friend.
When I was young, I thought I would never get married, but I did, when I was 28. Then thought I would never have kids, but I did, when I was 32.. My dad died when I was 17 and for that reason, I would listen to this song and pray I would live to watch my boys grow up. Shortly after that somehow, and I still don't know what happened, it just seemed like I turned around and now I'm 66 years old. I've been retired for a year and my boys grew up wonderful (I knew they would) and now I'm watching my 3 year old granddaughter grow. I guess I made it past "too old to die young," but now I pray my boys can do the same and, I hope can stay a little longer and see what happens. Seems like life before 20 lasts forever, but shortly after, it just fly's by! I don't know where the last 48 years went but, I went fast! I love Moe Bandy and his music, he is such a great storyteller and his lyrics seem to come from real life stories. "Americana", and "Bandy the Rodeo Clown" are also Moe,s songs and have also long been favorites of mine.
I love his songs as well. However, he was not the songwriter it was Kevin Welch. Check out his music, his version in particular, it is all the more touching imo.
Think of your dad as one of the stars that shine down upon us, I believe the stars in the night sky, are people in heaven opening their windows to watch over us. That thought alone has helped me through some difficult days since I lost my dad over 30 plus years.
I love the fiddle solo at the end of this song just beautiful sound especially when played outside late at night way up loud down the country just resonates off the hills like the angels are there playing this themselves
To the people who gave this a thumb down. There is an empty hole where your heart was. You must be pretty hateful, lonely and miserable. Our Lord is bigger than anything the devil can throw at us. One of the greatest songs sung by one of country music singers. God bless him.
This is without a doubt my favorite Moe Bandy song of all time. It is more than likely the same wish we all possess in your hearts and souls. The more of my friends that leave this world, the more the song hits home, and someday someone, hopefully, will be saying this about me. Rest in Peace to all my dear friends that have preceded me in death. When you stop and think about it. We are all like a candle, and one swift breeze and we are out.
My Papa loved this song so much. He changed some words of the song to let me watch my GRANDDAUGHTERs grow. I danced with him many times Even surprised him at my wedding and danced with him to this song. Happy Heavenly Birthday Papa hope your dancing with Rhonda. Love you so much miss You everyday. Have a great.time Dancing my sister Rhonda , what I wouldn't give to talk to you. I love you my Sister. You have a precious grandson .❤❤❤❤

I grew up listening to this song.....reminds me of my mom in the kitchen fixing breakfast with the radio on and this song was always playing when I was a kid....great memories!
He is one special loving man, I would Love to be beside him singing to old to die young. My brother passed at away at a tender age and he sang this song where ever he went, I would give anything to meet and sing with you.
Hearing this tonight on our local "country classics" show made me a bit sad; it was written by Kevin Welch, the occasion being the birth of his daughter Savannah, who became a founding member of the indie group The Trishas. They happened to be together shopping a farmer's market last month in Texas when she was struck by a car and ended up losing a leg. Wishing all the best for her journey of recovery.
I'm still here but so many of my mentors and friends have gone. We will all live forever in some form somewhere. The immortal part of us will survive the grave and never never never die.
My dad has been gone for 30 years he played this song up till his death which was cut short died at the age of 45 im 43 just to think about him and this sing breaks me down every time
This is just a great song. It all reminds us how precious are lives really are when we spend time on this Earth. Just how fast it can be snuffed out...just like a candle in the wind. I have lost so many friends at such a young age. Gunshots, auto accidents, suicides, and diseases. Keep your friends and family close always. Blink and they may be gone...remember, they say times goes...no, time stays we go!
AMEN LIFE IS SO SHORT CHERRISH EVERY MOMENT.ME TO HAVE LOST MOST OF MY FRIENDS.WHEN THEY ARE GONE YOU REALISE HOW PRESCIOUS THEY WERE. SURE MISS THEM ALL.THIS SONG IS SO TRUE TO LIFE. YOU REALISE HOW MUCH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS MEAN TO YOU.
I love this song. Unfortunately my daughter was taken from this world 3 years ago at the age of 16. It always hits home when I hear this and although I love it, It makes me well up when I do.
Mo Bandy said that he wrote this as a prayer from his heart. I heard him talking about it when he performed it on RFDTV. Larry's Country Diner, I think it was. I love it.
I wish country music was still like this
I agree.
I agree
Born in 1982...grew up with country like this. Miss it and wish it was still this way 😢

@@garylefevers Thanks for the info.
As parents, we all hope for this. Love this song!
I believe this song is not just about growing old but about living and enjoying life in honour of our loved ones that are gone 😞
I've always liked the song. Lately it has become my prayer.
+Steve Sauder I liked that comment ... sounded sincere.
This is what I ask God nearly every night. Thank you Moe.
My husband's favorite song. He got to see his children grow. He past away in 2013, 8 days before our 50th anniversary.
Beautiful song that you don't hear on the radio anymore. Thank you for posting this.
Hall of Fame, this guy belongs.
My daddy would sing this song to me. I lost my daddy 4 years ago hearing it again I'm in tears right now I miss him so much I love daddy
I hear you! I lost my Daddy too!
Think of your dad as one of the stars that shine down upon us, I believe the stars in the night sky, are people in heaven opening their windows to watch over us. That thought alone has helped me through some difficult days since I lost my dad over 30 plus years.
My dad died when I was 3 weeks old😭
My pops favorite song-- playing gently n the background when he took his last breath-- GOD BLESS
Hope you are doing OK, Jeff.
I love the fiddle solo at the end of this song just beautiful sound especially when played outside late at night way up loud down the country just resonates off the hills like the angels are there playing this themselves
Moe bandy still good after all these years. U go Moe!
This was always my daddy's favorite song.
yes i love that to
Meant more my husband after he found out he had cancer. He did get to see the boys almost completely grown!
@@shyanneboucher590 thank you
this song is amazing when i first heard it on radio it was my mission to learn to sing.i cant count how many times i sang to my children.
To the people who gave this a thumb down. There is an empty hole where your heart was. You must be pretty hateful, lonely and miserable. Our Lord is bigger than anything the devil can throw at us. One of the greatest songs sung by one of country music singers. God bless him.
id say anyone that cant relate to this song something wrong.give your head a shake
i agree
@@percywatson6105 needs there teeth kicked in with a steel toed workboot
Y'all sure are a hateful bunch.
@@wilfredheggart647 I think what you are trying to say is, "Those that can't relate need their teeth kicked in with a steel toed work boot."
One of my all time favourite by a very beautiful voice...... God bless Moe Bandy.
For sure
@@bjrunnels9712 definitly
This is my favorite Moe Bandy song.
Great song by moe Bandy.
Hall fame one day.
Get chill bumps listening to this song---lot of truth here---everone's wish.

GODs word says we like a mist then we gone....proverbs
Mine too, from many years back
leftlanecharlie God also knows every ridge of your fingerprint He made that makes you unique to Him.
Unfortunately this is not the original studio recording charting single.
It seems Moe rerecorded all his songs, or a whole lot of them.
Your description couldn't me more spot on!
My Papa loved this song so much. He changed some words of the song to let me watch my GRANDDAUGHTERs grow. I danced with him many times Even surprised him at my wedding and danced with him to this song. Happy Heavenly Birthday Papa hope your dancing with Rhonda. Love you so much miss You everyday.

Beautifully sung beautiful song

Great classic by the one and only... this one, understandably, always makes me emotional - true country through and through
Thank You Jesus!
Love hearing him sing this beautiful song!
This song carries so much memories
This October 21 will be six years since Dad died. This song we chose for his service. I miss him.

You got that right, William RE: Philosophy blended with music. Specifically, existential philosophy.
i agree with that
