This song always hits me.. My father was 99 when this came out.. he lived to be a glorious 106!! and when I would ask him, of course he said it went fast.. the 70 yrs I had with him went fast enough.. now my granddaughters ask me.. and I say it's going too fast..All we have is what the Lord gives us.. live faithful and true to Him..
I was just 2 years old when it came out, and 22 now. Every word hits me hard. I want to appreciate every moment the Lord has given me. It does go by too fast it's true 😂. Peace be to you and yours ❤
I was 45 when this came out. Little did I know the chilling accuracy of these words, "I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis." My crisis was breast cancer. I'm 63 for a moment and looking back with gratitude on these last 17 breast-cancer-free years. Each day, each breath is a gift.
Absolutely, each day is a gift. You beat the odds, want through terrible pain and look at you now, still standing like a Boss. So many, many people never got to see 45, or 17 for that matter. You definitely received a miracle. I'll pray for you to have many more years since so many were taken from you. God has blessed you.
God has plans for everyone. My mom was cancer free around the same age as yours but had a cancer recurrence around May last year. The doctor said that she had at least six months left. She was a woman of faith and wanted to see he grandchildren grow up, which she eventually experienced. Sadly, she left us behind last year. Please have your annual medical check-ups done, as she has failed to do so during the Pandemic.
About to turn 63. I lost my wife of 34 years, treasure of my life, a bit over 4 years ago. This video always results in me bawling like a baby. CHERISH YOUR LOVED ONES! EVERY SECOND!!
This song played almost incessantly as I drove over warm and beautiful mountain roads with my youngest son Daniel in the car. We both loved the song. Daniel only got 12 1/2 years. He died of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome suddenly in 2008. He truly deserved a hundred years. I can't hear the song without seeing his smile and feeling the warm breeze of those days. Thank you.
Oh, Jane. I'm just so, so sorry. I grew up in s.West Va. & the mts. & warm summer breezes are synonymous w that beautiful region. Your post just took me back. Even the thought of losing a child is utterly tragic. Strangely, I am hearing that diagnosis more & more the last few yrs. Has the loss gotten somewhat more bearable, Jane? It's been a while, but it's a grief, I think, in it's own category. At least you've got these magical, loving memories. How many other children do u have? Im sorry if that's rude. I have 3-Jack🤯55, Mandy-44yrs, Meg 40y. God bless & keep you, Jane. Liz
52 years old now. Married my high school sweetheart. Kids are grown and married or engaged. Life goes by quickly. Cherish every moment you have. There is no such thing as wasted time with the ones we love.
Hi Jeff, I just want to say I was really moved by your comment, I'm also in a relationship with my Elementary Crush. Now we are already 25, planning to settle down. Wish we could be just like you and your partner Cheers
@@reymarkd.2411 best advice I have ever received. Remember love is a choice, it isn't a feeling. If the two of you wake up each morning and choose to love each other then there will be no obstacle that you can't overcome together. I wish you a long and happy life together.
@@jeffreyallen2778 Thanks for advice. Although I have no childhood sweetheart, elementary crush, or even middle school love, I'll keep that "love is a choice, not just feelings."
I am commenting from my great grandsons account. I am 100 years old. I love this song. I fought in World War 2. I will be gone soon. This song will play when I pass on
My dad is 99. He will turn 100 on March 3, 2025, God willing. He, too, served in WW2 and like you is a member in good-standing of the greatest generation. On behalf of him and myself, I thank for your service.
I was 25 when this song came out and I thought I was invincible. Now I'm 42. Savor every moment, kids. It all passes so quickly. Don't fall into routine. Challenge yourselves. And most importantly, don't be afraid to love.
Oh bless your heart, I know especially in today's world- 15 years feels like an eternity!? But really, you've only just begun! Just wait till you're celebrating your 50th anniversary!? Remember, these are the good ol days, enjoy them, make memories & remember, time is fleeting & life goes by quick! 100 years seems like an eternity, but those who've lived that long assure me, that one day their 17 & the next, they wake up & an entire lifetime has passed them by. Cherish each & every day!
Don't ever rush to grow up. Have fun while u can, get dirty, scrap a knee, and get into trouble....just enjoy ur life and enrich others with ur radiating light
Fuck ups last a long time and sometimes can't be undone. My daughter was born when I was 27. Her mother divorced me when I was 37, I'm 56 now and my daughter won't talk to me. This video is poignant for me
I started listening to this when I was just 15 for a moment. My mom used to get teary eyed and tell me how true it was. She's past 67 now, and I'm 33 today. I will always love this song.

My Son Chris was 26 for a moment. He passed away serving this country in the US Navy 11 years ago. He never got to get married, or have children. He was wise beyond his age. I think of him and others who have passed when i hear this song. Life goes by to fast!
We have to talk our kids out of fighting foreign wars. All of our wars are foreign. If you cant fight a war on your own soil, then why join the military. Our military is to protect our country, not others. I was in the Marines and got out after one stint because I wasnt giving my life in Desert Eagle or Storm. Im still here. Thank the people from Israel.
I accidentally found this song on the radio when I had just turned 50 and going through a major crisis. Now I’m 70 and in a very happy place. Life is so bittersweet.
I heard this song tonight played for a friend who was celebrating her 90th birthday. Just wanted to say that my wife and I were married at 18 and 17, and we're now 71 and 70, and still married to each other. We lost a daughter six years ago to breast cancer at age 41. Never take time for granted; it passes too quickly. Love the people in your life while you can. I would also add that our faith in Jesus has carried us through many storms of life. Blessings to you all.
God bless your marriage and my condolences to your family on the loss of your daughter. My daughter carried your first child for a full nine months, only to have my sweet granddaughter's heart stop just before she could be delivered. Now 25 months later, the pain remains, but we ask each day for our Heavenly Father to keep us strong as we honor our granddaughter's memory each day. My daughter has since had a son, God bless him, and she is pregnant again, but memories are hard to erase. Each day of the pregnancy we put our hope and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your foundation is solid with your faith in Jesus and I wish God's blessings to you both.
No offence.. i am sure that you are american and so it is not your fault...but have faith in real people...not silly man made religions. You have enough real love to not need silly religion.
If you can somehow make it through the song without crying, reading the comments will start the tears flowing. With every passing year, this song becomes richer, and deeper in meaning. I can't believe I'll be 60 next year. I lost my father last year, man that was hard. So many good people gone over the past twenty years. But at the same time, I'm blessed with two beautiful boys and maybe I'll have grandchildren in a few years...still so much to look forward to. Not really sure how many more 'moments' I'll get. I'll be happy with 40 more healthy ones. Time to meet my grandkids, time to deepen my friendships, time to accomplish a few more of my writing goals. And maybe time for Paris...somehow never found the time to go there.
My mom died on Thanksgiving 2024 at 93. I always told her she would make it to 100. I’ve played this song multiple times. So powerful, moving, beautiful, and abstract enough to open up memories and imagination. Thank you for the music and the lyrics. Love this song. Genius.❤
My son passed from suicide almost a year ago. How my heart grieves for his goodnes. Such an amazing man, tortured with demons and addiction. Cherish your loved ones
I just turned 58. I'm an old guy now. Lost my Dad two years ago and he always said "son, take it all in because it passes so fast." Man was he right. I look in the mirror sometimes and wonder who that person is staring back at me. I feel like 2020 passed in the blink of an eye!
It's wild I just turned 36 I have two kids and the oldest is starting school. I feel like I'm strapped on a ride and we just created the the hill. I'm sorry for your loss my dad is my best friend.
I'm 44....a d I watch reruns on ALL IN THE FAMILY as I get ready for ready for work and the two main characters were in their late 40s in Real life...back then....ARCHIE looked like TODAYS senior citizen...you are NOT an old guy....
I turned 62 this summer and the memories can seem like they were only yesterday, but I have learned to take each day one day at a time and let tomorrow worry about itself when it gets here.
57 and boy can i relate man the time seems to accelerate ironically loss mydad 2years ago and my partner of 17 years in 2009 to greatest men in my life i have lived that 100 years already. 30vyears go by fast and i will be lucky to get that now i cherish every moment
This is the song I want for my Funeral when I die♥️ , Thank you Lord for the life you gave me everyday , Thank you for everything. Please guide always my family🙏
Agree and Praise Jesus! This was song used in my "dad's" ( stepdad of 30 years as real dad died when I was a teen.) video tribute at his funeral at my moms house with bag pipes! It was amazing Blessings to us all!
I'm almost to 67, and I know it will be gone quickly. I can still "feel" 15, and 22, and 33, and 45, and half time at 50. It's a mural, isn't it? So thankful that my true eternity with Jesus awaits after this earthly life. God is good.
Yes, a mural...what a lovely way to describe it Dee. Every so often in this whirlwind called life, something catches our eye or ear and nudges us to stop, think, reminisce and look forward with a bit more clarity. John's legacy song here always does that for me, and now, so does your ethereal comment.
My son 22 yrs old passed away 18 months ago. He had so much time left here on this earth to grow and be able to have a family . I miss you so much son but we will be celebrating our 99 yrs soon. I love you.
I do understand how we feel cheated when our sons could not remain to finish the life we had hoped for them here on Earth. I truly believe that there is much in Heaven to which to look forward !
Sorry for your loss ma'am..I lost a child also..I understand what your going through..just always know God loves you..and your son will be waiting for you in heaven..
@@janeofvirginia153 Not only in heaven but one day all of creation will be restored to God on a new earth forever. Jesus truly is the savior of the world. The early church proclaimed this, it is the real good news. The bible in its original language shows this. Look into the literal concordant versions for a very accurate translation. We are in eon 3 now. Eon 4 will be the millennial reign of Christ and eon 5 will be the new heavens and earth. At the end of eon 5 is the consummation when death is abolished and God is all in all.
I am 76 years old. My husband - my Love - passed in 2018. This song was one of his favorites and mine. On trips we listened and sang along with this song many times. It lifted our hearts and reminded us of the numbers already lived and the numbers to come.
I'm so sorry to hear. I lost my mom a year ago. She was 87 years old. My dad is 88 now and he's missing his girlfriend of 65 years. I'm 61 and I feel lost. My husband passed away 5 years ago on our kitchen floor on his birthday. I'm so tired. I wish I could say that I knew more about life now than I did when I was young but, I don't. Hang on to anyone who you love and who loves you. 💙
@@CarlyFaith15 Bless your broken heart & weary soul ~ I can feel your pain from where I am. I’m truly sorry for the loss of your husband & mother & your dad’s loss of “his girlfriend of 65 years”. We never know when the ones we love will go from us, and you’re so right ~ we should hold on to anyone who you love & who loves you… And we should always let them know, in every possible way, how much they are loved.
I was 22 for a moment when this song came out. I'm 39 for a moment, realizing how true his message is. It all passes by so quick and you wonder what you did with it. Don't waste your life.
Me too! I remember listening this song at 22 when I was preparing for my wedding. Now I am 39 and I have a 15 year old and still married. My life went by so fast.
I was about fifteen when it came out. It has a very special ring now. Those years were hell, but I still wish I could go back, just so I'd have it all ahead of me again.
@@mikejacobs2886 Do you honestly believe the propaganda? Yes, he was brave and courageous, and sacrificed, but let's not act like the whole intent wasn't probably to give a reason to establish Israel in the middle east.
I usually don't get involved in political discussions, and I've only posted on RUclips maybe 3 times, but I can't let this one go unaddressed. I am THANKFUL for your Grandpa and all who fought in WW II to stop Hitler! Hitler is to be blamed for WW II - his intent was to ANNIHILATE the Jews, not help them establish Israel. The Allies wouldn't have had a bone to pick with Hitler if he hadn't started to invade other countries. SO I THANK GOD FOR YOUR GRANDPA AND THOSE WHO FOUGHT TO STOP HITLER FROM TAKING OVER MORE OF THE WORLD!!
@@willp.8120 bro my grandpa served in WWII at Okinawa the movie Hacksaw Ridge was based on. Don’t get it fucking twisted most of those men were real life heroes that laid it all on the line so you can have an opinion and not live in communism. I just have to say your a big boy I’m sure but when someone is vulnerable enough to share something you should learn to be kinder instead of being angry all the time. I promise it’s not a good look. I can be a real asshole but the people in my life deserve better. Try working on Empathy it will change your life and maybe you won’t be so angry. Cheers Good luck
Amazing how he was able to sing all that without bawling. Heard this today on the radio while receiving radiation for a cancer diagnosis, while my mother states away recieves radiation too (as we were diagnosed at the same time). It was hard to remain still, to say the least. I'm grateful for everything I still have, including the time I have now with her. Don't let the years slip past you. I 🤍 you mom, and I'll see you soon. Let's aim for 100.
I heard this on the way to the hospital when I was on my way to deliver my son a month before I turned 22. I gave birth to him on 07/20/04. Tomorrow he'll be celebrating his 18th birthday. Next month I'll be turning 40. This song brings back so many beautiful memories & moments for me. Thank you!🥰
@heatherpierce9123 just four years before your son’s birthday I had a son, Ryan born 7.20.2000 about 3 weeks early, his lungs not fully developed. Ryan knew my voice as he seemed to be very active every time I was around his mother. While he laid in ICU, I put my smallest finger in his little hand as he naturally grasped it, I told him I loved him. He was laying on his belly, turned his head and looked at me with his beautiful dark eyes. about 30 hours later, I decided to stay with his mother in her room. Before we even got to sleep, they called us and no parent should ever have to see someone doing CPR on an infant. They tried. They let us hold him for about 45 minutes before letting him go to holding room before the morgue picked him up for a later funeral. Yes July 20 has a significant meaning as my grandfather passed on that day to In 1986. Some may get 100 years some maybe just a few hours and none of us know what tomorrow holds and life can sure have unfair consequences, however I have the faith that I will see all that have passed before me. I to without would have been gone in December of 2019, except doctors blessed with technology are amazing at times with what they can do with your heart to keep you going. 🙏🏻

I was 11 when this song came out in 2003. I'm now 28, a decade passing since I graduated high school. I'm blown away by how slow and fast time seems to fly by at the same time.
I was 16 when this song came out, now at 33 i miss the good days of the 90's and 00's when the world was so much better places. These days it seems like not being able to wake out of a bad nightmare.
Welcome to adulthood my friend, im 32 with a wife and 3 kids,,,, seems like yesterday I was graduating H.S. and moving on to my next chapter... the military.... would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Everyone has said it, time seems to go both slow and fast at the same time.
We played this song at my grandma's memorial, she was 3 weeks into her 99th year, she was "99 for a moment." No matter how many times I hear this song I cry. It's all the beauty and all all the loss of life together.
And you should cry. Memories will bring us joy and pain, but the Joy will always win the day. Remember her. Her backed bread, her Italian Tacos, and everything else she was. Okay Italian tacos, was what I called my Grandma's Tacos but she was Scottish. In retrospect they were more street taco then most street tacos I have ever had... Miss you Grandma...
What puts my mind at ease....all of us who come to Earth and have our Earthly Journey...no matter the length...once it is completed...we return Home...then...when one of The Greatest Events in The History of Everything Occurs.....The Wonderful Resurrection...why we get to resume our Earthly Journey....forever and always...so we all get more...than 100 years to live.
LYRICS I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between ten and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15 There's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live I'm 33 for a moment I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they" A kid on the way, babe A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star 15, I'm alright with you 15 There's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on I'm 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15, there's still time for you 22, I feel her too 33, you're on your way Every day's a new day Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose, hey, 15 There's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live Traducir al español
Reading this comment made me think about my grandpa he died in 2019 from natural causes he surved the army as a pilot over the pacific and survived world war 2
My daughter's sings this song every year on Father's day. We saw 5 for fighting here in Billings Montana together when she was 13. We also got to meet him and took pictures❤
I was 15 when this song came out, had my first love/worst heartbreak at 22, now I'm 33 married with a kid on the way. This song feels like the anthem of my life.
I was 17 when the single debuted in late 2003, and getting ready to turn 18 when the full album came out in early 2004; I was in high school and wondering where life would lead me. Now I’m 36 years old, married with 1 child. I remember thinking the song was beautiful then, and now 18 years later and I still do. It just hits differently as you get older and can truly relate to the fast passage of time. :/
I remember being 12yrs old wanting to grow up. Now I'm 50yrs old both parents passed away, grandparents gone. Makes me wish I was 12yrs old again, surrounded by them without a care. Playing baseball in the back yard, drinking out of the hose and riding my bike to the lake. It sure goes by quickly!
I was 34 weeks pregnant with my first and only child, my son. I had cardioversion and was hospitalized to be monitored. The nurses played this song throughout the night. They apologized, I said absolutely none needed. This next month my boy will be 18. Life flashes in the blink of an eye. Experiences, relationships, family, and my baby boy has grown into a man. Hold every moment close, and just smile whenever possible. Love like crazy.
I remember listening to this song when I was 15…I thought I had the whole world in my hands…I remember saying I had forever and ever till I can relate to this song. I’m 31 and wow, just wow.
Going into my senior year of high school in the fall and I'm really not ready to grow up. Times flies when you let it. Cherish your childhood. You might just let it pass you by
I was 16 when this song was released on Nov 24th 2003, I turn 37 in 5 days and Where does the time go. For some reason it was in my head the other day cooking with my oldest, shes 14 and I just watched her help me cook. I remember the day I saw her open her eyes.God bless you all.
This song makes you realize if you follow a life of comfortable routine, years will fly by and you will question what have you done with your time? Live your life to the fullest! I am learning at 25 (almost 26) how fast time flew by when I didn’t pay attention and got comfortable doing the same thing over and over. My parents warned me the older you get, the faster time flies by and they were not kidding!
Very true. I am 51 and honestly, it feels like 25 was just a couple years ago I have a 27 year old daughter - and I swear, I don't feel much older than 27 myself. It is absolutely terrifying how fast the years go by if you aren't paying attention
I'm turning 26 in 24 days, and I'm trying so hard not to fall into a depression because I sometimes think and feel as if I'm letting my life go to waste. I don't want that. I want to leave a legacy behind for my kids and their kids...But it's also a bit hard when moral support is directed at the wrong thing. Hopefully things will get better before it's all too late.
I turned 70 this year and I still hope to meet the love if my life because I don’t think I have yet. I don’t feel young - but I also don’t know why I’m supposed to feel old. I’m not waiting though, doing insane travelling on my own. I don’t want more regrets. I don’t wait for companions or approval. Within my modest means I’m living a big life. I’m blessed.
Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
I was 18 when this song came out , now I am 39 and I am still coming back listening to see whre I am right now. This is more than just a song, this is the song of our lives. Thank you Five for fighting for giving us this masterpiece
Heard it in a store two days, and listened to it about 50 times since then. Lots of crying and thoughts of being 15, when my mom, dad, and grandma were still alive. I heard it On April 27th, which happened to be the day Mom went to Heaven 34 years ago, Now at 71, I still miss her like crazy. She only got to be a grandma for one year, but knew we were expecting our second child when the Lord called her. And we named our third child, our daughter after my Grandma and Mom, the two kindest, sweetest, and strongest ladies God ever made. I will continue playing this and cry each time. Young people, don't waste a minute, as this old timer wasted more than I care to remember. Enjoy each day the Good Lord gives you.
Wow, you nust have lost your mom when you were 37. I also lost my mom when I was 37. I'd have missed her for 34 years also by the time I'm 71. What a lugubrious parallel. Only problem is that, I don't think I can survive that long without her. She was a special mom. My condolences to you!
I’m 75 so I’m 3/4s there. Still a lot to do and see. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you’ve got your health , you’ve got everything. Take care of yourselves and adopt a healthy lifestyle and you’ll make it! Thank God for every day because every day is not promised.
I was told this nor to bust your bubble but middle ages isn't 50 its 35 most people don't make it as long as u or I have very few make it to 100 so we have to be blessed we made it to here
I remember listening to this song in the car as a 10 year old with my dad in 2006 when my grandfather passed. Now it's 2021 and I'm 25 listening to this a year after my dad passed, Time really does fly. Really miss you Dad
I am 42 years old, and this song really reminds me about the importance of cherishing every memory we have especially with the people we love. thank you, my wife who always shares with me, in any situation.
This song reminds me......I married my husband in 1968. We were married almost 48 yrs when he died in 2016. 😢 Wow! Time went by so fast. Hard to believe. He was such a wonderful person and loved by so many. Spent his life helping others. Miss him so much ❤
My parents married in 1969 and were still married when my dad pass in 2015 at 88 years old. At the visitation was the first time my mom looked weak in her whole like. She came out after seeing dad by herself and almost collapsed. My nephew and I caught her before she fell.
I am not too far behind you, the other day, my banker was asking me when I was going to start my S.S . Benefits.. What? Wait? I can't be getting that old...
My son was born the year this came out. He’s 20 now. I was 31. Now I’m 51. He’s in college. I’m still a teacher. Older but still have the heart of the 30 year old. I have Lupus now and cancer slowed me down. But I’m here.
This song makes me cry every time thinking how fast time flies how quickly life passes us by and current moments becomes distant memories. Things change people change and we try to hold onto time but is slips out of our hands like sand in the wind😢
My son is 15 now. I'm a single dad and when I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. IDK where 57 years of my life went to, but they just flew by. I hope my son can realize that life is fleeting and make better decisions and better use of his younger years.
I get so sad and happy at the same time listening to this song. It hits me even harder every year I come here to listen to this song. Live life to the fullest!
If I create a playlist for my funeral, this may be the final song...the way the piano ends with an unfinished chord feels a way of saying “I’m not with you, but I’m not done.” I’m 57. When I listen to it, I still get tears in my eyes.
I was 15 when this song came out. I've been using it to track where my life is headed and how far i've come. I'm 32 now and doing my best to live life to the fullest and savor every moment. I'm getting married with a family on my mind. Hopefully I'll make it all the way to 99. If I do, I'm leaving another comment here.
When this song came out in 2003, I was 23 years old. Now, I'm 44 years old, and I'm a father of 4 boys. It meant something 20 years ago, and it has even more meanings now. Beautiful song, hope to comment again in another 20 years. That would be awesome.
This song brings back fond memories of my late 30s, watching my son at age 3 (and my baby boy, less than a year old in 2004), and marveling at how blessed I truly am. Those boys are now in college! My grandmother died in 2004 at age 102, Christmas Day. The best thing to do while listening to this song is to go through your own ages and list something for which you are thankful, an experience or person in your life. Do that up to the present moment, and feel the love bubble up inside. Life is a patchwork quilt, with squares of joy overlapping squares of pain and loss. But the whole effect is breathtakingly beautiful, and absolutely perfect.
This song always makes me cry, no matter if I listen to it once or several times over. Both of my children are out of college and living on their own. My daughter was 9 and my son was five in ‘04, so I know exactly how you feel. I loved every stage of their childhood. It’s bittersweet, but satisfying at the same time to watch them become the successful adults we had a hand in. Make sure to visit them in college during their birthday or any obscure time. Whichever child I visited, I took them and their friends out to eat. Watching each one interact with the friends they would have for life was not just great fun, but gave me a glimpse into the future life they were building. I miss them terribly! My daughter lives two hours away. My son is a meteorologist on the west coast. I have the station’s app on my phone; I watch him each and every time he does the weather forecast. Of course it’s not like being there in person, but I love hearing his voice and watching his mannerisms. Being thankful for the people who impacted your life, whether friends or family, is the most wonderful way to honor or memorialize them. And even when your children are grown, they will always be your babies. God bless your memories and future memories with them!
Started listening to this song when I was fifteen. The day before my 16th birthday. Turning 23 tomorrow so, out of tradition, I had to watch the song. Next comment from me: 13 June 2031. Thanks for making this the most important tradition in my life. Reminds me to appreciate my time here on earth. I want to be 99 and dying for just another moment...
i;m 50 and life is cruel . it's to fast . my heart is 17 and my body hurts and i get hurt sleeping . haha ! take in your youth and enjoy it all . you can' stop the clock .
I’m 28, time flies so fast, I feel like I’m still 17-18 years old. 2 more years and I’ll turn 30. I don’t wanna grow old :( I just want to stay young forever. I wish I could go back in time to when I was 13 years old (2005) and re-do my life all over again and this time I’d appreciate it so much more and do things I didn’t do when I was in my teen years.
"100 Years" I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live I'm 33 for a moment I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they" A kid on the way, babe A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on I'm 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you’re on your way Every day's a new day 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live
My Dad, a Vietnam Veteran, danced with a lady on our street once she hit her 100th birthday. It is so easy to hide in the shadows of others, as so many do. My Dad is 74 or so, he is Father of Four. He is also Husband and Pastor of 40 years.
I love this song. Eerily, and now being almost 66, every milestone, 15, 22, 33 and 67 has mapped to my life in most cases to the year. Have never heard a song that is as melancholic, beautiful, and meaningful. Every time I hear it, it triggers an existential moment of reflection that it so emotion-laden that I can only infrequently "go there." I've told my wife that I want '100 years' sung at my funereal, hoping I'll get to 99 by then :-).
My Dad passed away at 93 and I had this played with a video of his life at his memorial service. I don't think there was a dry in the chapel. Still hard for me to listen to without tearing up. Thanks for such a powerful song.
Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
I'm currently 21 years old. I first heard the song about 5 months ago when I was 20 and I can't get over how beautiful this song is. It is sad yet incredibly beautiful.
@@brandonk1502 seriously, but I heard this song many years ago when I was maybe 13 at most. Truly, 15 is something to cherish when you've only got a hundred years. I'm 32 going on 33 now. If only we could share memories or even just emotions, maybe then we could try and warn the younger ones
@Chase Cantwell savor every single second of being young. I was 26 yesterday, and today I’m 65. That’s how fast it goes. Spend time with EVERYONE YOU LOVE. I mean real quality time. Don’t just run in say Hi, then I’ve got to go. Try your very best to not be in a hurry all the time. I’d give my life to go back to when my boys were little. I feel I took so much for granted. I couldn’t wait ‘til they got out of diapers. Now I’d give both my thumbs to have them back in diapers. Just soak it all in. It really does fly by. May God Bless You and Yours, All the Days of Your Lives!
My condolences to you. It's never easy losing a parent. My 91 yo mom died last October. May happy memories of time spent with your father remain with you. You're going to be all right.
Im 41 years old now.. This song's lyrics getting more deep for me since the first time i listened on MTV back in the days.. The more i listen the more i got flash back on my life.. Oh man...
I've been playing this song for at least 15 years. I am now 55+ with a wife and two kids. My Dad is gone...he didn't get his 100 years. Love and live to the fullest.
I hear you, I am about your age, with a husband and two sons. I am sorry to hear of your loss. We lost my mom this summer at 83, and I wish I had more time with her, but it wasn't meant to be. I am enjoying the time I get to spend now with my Dad. I wish you peace!
Man. I first heard this when I was 15. I'm 30 now, 3 kids, wife. If I only knew back then how accurate this song is. Really makes me feel like I haven't done enough in this life and I need to start. Man this song hits hard.
make sure some of your best friends are 10-15 years older then u… they will have the best advice and make sure you don’t repeat mistakes that change your life forever 😘❤️🤗
Back then when I heard this song (I was around the age of 18) I thought that, wow, this is so deep. I enjoy singing this and whatnot. Now, 12 years later, I stumbled again upon this song. I marvel at how life is but a fleeting moment. A failed suicidal act because of getting bullied at college (body shaming and physical abuse) resulting on a damaged liver and kidneys and, maybe, can only go for just another 15 years from now. I sing along with this song and every time I sing the chorus "15 there's still time for you" I cry like a waterfall. I still got time. 15 years. Never a wish better than this indeed. Cherish your life people. It's a precious beautiful life we get to live.
Qeisama Jesus loves you! Doesn't matter who you are. Life is fleeting, grab on to the hope found in Jesus. It is freeing to know their is life eternal after this one. I don't come to shove this down your throat, but to spread and share a gift given to me.
This song really hits me hard, right in the feels. As you grow older, you begin to truly grasp how fleeting life can be. Time seems to speed up, and it’s easy to forget to pause, take a breath, and appreciate just how far you’ve come. Watching the ones you love grow older reminds you of life’s fragility and just how precious every moment with them truly is.
This song reminds me that I might have wasted some of my 80 years when I was careless with my life. We think we will never grow old but my teenage years were just yesterday. I remember my first kiss and how wonderful it tasted. Spend your years wisely, love a lot, be kind and generous because your life will pass like a flash a light and leave only memories of not only the good, but the bad things you had rather forget.
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." - John 4:14 Hold onto what matters...Christ...and have life in abundance. God Bless...
I feel the same way. I turned 20 years old in July this year and I was asked if I felt old. I said "No, I don't feel old". The next day I woke up and I said to myself, "I feel old".
You and many others aren't alone. I finished high school in 2015 and in December a few months later I sat in my room alone sobbing to myself because everything and everyone I came to know were now (for the most part) gone. A few I still hear of and see, but everything has changed.
I'm 52 and just had a triple bypass. My journey almost ended and I am so grateful to have more time. This song always makes me think of the stages in my life... I still remember being 5 and 10 and 15 and 20 etc. Like it was yesterday. Live your best life. Don't let the world get you upset. There is so much wonder and beauty in life.
You find this song stunning from day one, but as you get older the lyrics become more beautiful and they make more sense to you. Just one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Stuck in traffic in Houston Texas,listening to the song over and over,Makes you think 100years goes by fast,the way this guy break it down,15,22,33,45,67,99.
I am 46 years old, I feel/act much younger than my age and I don't plan on growing up anytime soon! What I've learned in my 46 years is that life is what you make it, it sucks for everyone at one time or another but you are in control of your own life. Don't count on anyone else to make you happy do it yourself......live the life you want not the one you think other people want you to live. If you fail at something, try it again....we all look back and say I should have done it different, that's part of life. I realized about 5 years ago that I don't get a "do over" or a "next time" it's just this time and even with the things I failed at accomplishing I will never regret any part of my life enough to wish it never happened! My greatest accomplishments are my 2 kids, no matter what I did or didn't do right in life they are what matters most!! So smile, tomorrow is a new day!
Lisa Y {I am 46 years old, I feel/act much younger than my age and I don't plan on growing up anytime soon!}=GOOD FOR YOU, Lisa-I'm EXACTLY the same way & do not give one flying fk what the far too stuffy a lot of the time outside world thinks...
Please give your kids a copy of what you wrote. 😊 Even if they say it's sappy, it will be important to them. The things like this that my parents told me became a framework for my life choices. I wouldn't do-over a single thing because then I might have lost something that drove me to suceed and I would risk losing experience and empathy. Now and Future are where we can make changes.
I’m really 45 now…for a moment…my daughter is 13….I really am chasing the years of my life….it goes way too fast. I still feel 22. That was one of my most amazing years ever. Got married to the love of my life at 22…lived in Colorado and it was amazing. Insane that was more than half my life ago. Remember Every day is the best day of your life- you blink, and half your life is over….don’t forget that ❤.
Half my life ago I became permanently disabled from a massive brain injury and almost died. I'm 51 ( married 30 years) 😊 😊 My marriage is the best part of my life. We don't take each other's presence and love for granted.💙
I was 5 years old when this song came out. I didn’t hear it again after that until I was 15 and it hit hard for me then. Now I’m 25 and I came back to this song at my hardest times. I lost my best friend to OD when she was just 21. Time really flies so fast. Cherish all the memories. Big or small. Because I’m a blink of an eye it can all be taken away.
“I’m 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I’m heading into a crisis, chasing the years of my life”. How this line in the song already applies to me I just don’t know...life truly does pass by in the blink of an eye.
Just wait until halftime goes by, Theresa. My crisis was at 47, and life has been better than ever since I got through it. Of course, I don't look as good as I did then, hahaha!
I agree. This song changes with age. The older I get, the better I can look back in clarity. I feel like the hand of God showing our life in slow motion. Looking back through a rear-view mirror has been a whirlwind of emotions. This song is truly healing. It's an age-less song.
And at 75. Just had my birthday and hadn't listened to this song for a couple of years. Since then, my mom passed at 105 and I fought cancer and survived...it definitely hits you differently if you haven't heard it for a couple years.
very true sentiment, live life to the full. im 53 and spent most of those years working and worrying. it came home to me when my wife said "lets go and make some memories while we still can. so webought a big touring motorbike and are going on trips all round Europe. I also now have my own little recording studio at home to write and record my own songs and im learning piano, all stuff we should have done years ago. we now have a new moto "PLAN FOR THE FUTURE BUT LIVE FOR TODAY"
I'm 19 now. After 10 years hope someone will hit the like so I can remember this moment I'm typing this down. Love this song. To my future self you've been through a lot and take time to breath in and just LIVE❤️ This is me admiring my older self🥺 Fingtingggg✊
Here’s the secret: your body does the aging. You will always see yourself as 20-something. You will be young until your body is done. So take care of your body and live a long, young life. I’m 64 and still hardly believe my mirror.

I’m 60 years old. I can’t listen to this song without crying. Ever. Life is so fast and fleeting….
I can't listen to this song either maybe I'm part dog or something because when all the high pitch screeching starts it physically hurts me.
62 dying wife kids times short man
Isn't it truth, This song tells it like it is people should really listen. You think you got time. Then it flies by.
hope we all see each other in next life guys@@71909pebbles
Just turned 60 .Holly FUKKK
Never really paid any attention to the years
This one is really hard to accept for some reason.
This song always hits me.. My father was 99 when this came out.. he lived to be a glorious 106!! and when I would ask him, of course he said it went fast.. the 70 yrs I had with him went fast enough.. now my granddaughters ask me.. and I say it's going too fast..All we have is what the Lord gives us.. live faithful and true to Him..
I'm sorry.
I was just 2 years old when it came out, and 22 now. Every word hits me hard. I want to appreciate every moment the Lord has given me. It does go by too fast it's true 😂. Peace be to you and yours ❤
Amen and ShaloM ✝️🕊
My dad passed at 99 I'm 67 currently I cry when I hear this song I miss My father
Amen❤
I was 45 when this came out. Little did I know the chilling accuracy of these words, "I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis." My crisis was breast cancer. I'm 63 for a moment and looking back with gratitude on these last 17 breast-cancer-free years. Each day, each breath is a gift.
LETS GOOOOO
CONGRATS SO PROUD OF YOU
Absolutely, each day is a gift. You beat the odds, want through terrible pain and look at you now, still standing like a Boss. So many, many people never got to see 45, or 17 for that matter. You definitely received a miracle. I'll pray for you to have many more years since so many were taken from you. God has blessed you.
Amen 🙏 god bless you!
God has plans for everyone. My mom was cancer free around the same age as yours but had a cancer recurrence around May last year. The doctor said that she had at least six months left. She was a woman of faith and wanted to see he grandchildren grow up, which she eventually experienced. Sadly, she left us behind last year. Please have your annual medical check-ups done, as she has failed to do so during the Pandemic.
Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song
October :)
The best . 2024

About to turn 63. I lost my wife of 34 years, treasure of my life, a bit over 4 years ago. This video always results in me bawling like a baby. CHERISH YOUR LOVED ONES! EVERY SECOND!!
Sorry for your loss!!
Sorry for your loss ..
I'm sorry that you lost her.
I'm sorry mate
I always bawl like a baby bc this song reminds my of my grandma before she passed away I know she would've liked that song
This song played almost incessantly as I drove over warm and beautiful mountain roads with my youngest son Daniel in the car. We both loved the song. Daniel only got 12 1/2 years. He died of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome suddenly in 2008. He truly deserved a hundred years. I can't hear the song without seeing his smile and feeling the warm breeze of those days. Thank you.
I can’t even imagine. My heart is with you.
Oh, Jane. I'm just so, so sorry. I grew up in s.West Va. & the mts. & warm summer breezes are synonymous w that beautiful region. Your post just took me back. Even the thought of losing a child is utterly tragic. Strangely, I am hearing that diagnosis more & more the last few yrs. Has the loss gotten somewhat more bearable, Jane? It's been a while, but it's a grief, I think, in it's own category. At least you've got these magical, loving memories. How many other children do u have? Im sorry if that's rude. I have 3-Jack🤯55, Mandy-44yrs, Meg 40y. God bless & keep you, Jane. Liz
God bless you
@@qwertyhughman7587 Thank you for your kind words. May God bless you also.
Jane I hope you're living the life he would want you to live.
Keep enjoying those trips
52 years old now. Married my high school sweetheart. Kids are grown and married or engaged. Life goes by quickly. Cherish every moment you have. There is no such thing as wasted time with the ones we love.
Hi Jeff,
I just want to say I was really moved by your comment, I'm also in a relationship with my Elementary Crush. Now we are already 25, planning to settle down.
Wish we could be just like you and your partner
Cheers
@@reymarkd.2411 best advice I have ever received. Remember love is a choice, it isn't a feeling. If the two of you wake up each morning and choose to love each other then there will be no obstacle that you can't overcome together. I wish you a long and happy life together.
thanks for sharing this..love the message🙏🏽
Your blessed. I never found true love. And I'm 60. I was in love from 09 to 12. But she didn't feel the same way.
@@jeffreyallen2778 Thanks for advice. Although I have no childhood sweetheart, elementary crush, or even middle school love, I'll keep that "love is a choice, not just feelings."
I am commenting from my great grandsons account. I am 100 years old. I love this song. I fought in World War 2. I will be gone soon. This song will play when I pass on
Thank you for your service.
❤
Thanks for your service. You're a part of the greatest generation
My dad is 99. He will turn 100 on March 3, 2025, God willing. He, too, served in WW2 and like you is a member in good-standing of the greatest generation. On behalf of him and myself, I thank for your service.
Thank you for your service, sir. 🙏
I was 25 when this song came out and I thought I was invincible. Now I'm 42. Savor every moment, kids. It all passes so quickly. Don't fall into routine. Challenge yourselves. And most importantly, don't be afraid to love.
Right there with you. I just turned 41.
When you say don’t fall into routine, what does that mean
@@datsun_420z5 dont do the same thing everyday . Live and do something different everyday so you dont regret anything
I am 40! I grew up listening to songs like these. Thanks for the advice. I really forgot to live life. I need to think like a 25 again😊
shit man... I had to have been like 8 years old when I first herad this song... Just turned 22 today!
Danced with my wife to this song at our wedding in 2004.
15 years and 3 kids later, we still find time to dance when we hear this song.
Sweeeeeet
awww, well my heart just melted because of this comment
Oh bless your heart, I know especially in today's world- 15 years feels like an eternity!? But really, you've only just begun! Just wait till you're celebrating your 50th anniversary!? Remember, these are the good ol days, enjoy them, make memories & remember, time is fleeting & life goes by quick! 100 years seems like an eternity, but those who've lived that long assure me, that one day their 17 & the next, they wake up & an entire lifetime has passed them by. Cherish each & every day!
Good for you!!
The song came out 10 years ago fool
Don't ever rush to grow up. Have fun while u can, get dirty, scrap a knee, and get into trouble....just enjoy ur life and enrich others with ur radiating light
that's some real shit right there man
Damn man, that's real shit
Beautuful sentiment. Many thanks!
Fuck ups last a long time and sometimes can't be undone. My daughter was born when I was 27. Her mother divorced me when I was 37, I'm 56 now and my daughter won't talk to me. This video is poignant for me
Shit, you hit me deep men
I started listening to this when I was just 15 for a moment. My mom used to get teary eyed and tell me how true it was. She's past 67 now, and I'm 33 today. I will always love this song.

My son committed suicide at 15, this song makes me wish at 15, he would have known there was still time for him , miss you forever Matt
I am so sorry
Very sorry for your loss John :-(
So sorry, John.
Sorry for your loss 😔
It makes cry when I read your comment 😥 cause im experiencing depression right now 😔 like no one can understand you 😔
My Son Chris was 26 for a moment. He passed away serving this country in the US Navy 11 years ago. He never got to get married, or have children. He was wise beyond his age. I think of him and others who have passed when i hear this song. Life goes by to fast!
That's hard brother. I know ya miss him. Peace
We have to talk our kids out of fighting foreign wars. All of our wars are foreign. If you cant fight a war on your own soil, then why join the military. Our military is to protect our country, not others. I was in the Marines and got out after one stint because I wasnt giving my life in Desert Eagle or Storm. Im still here. Thank the people from Israel.
I am sorry for your loss and your son’s brave and valiant service for our country. My father was a Navy veteran in Korea and Vietnam.
My heart goes out to you.
I’m so sorry
It hits you harder every year you come back to revisit this song.
So true.
Que verdade,falou tudo😍
😭😭😭
Then you count your years 🤣🤣
theres still time for you...
I accidentally found this song on the radio when I had just turned 50 and going through a major crisis. Now I’m 70 and in a very happy place. Life is so bittersweet.
I heard this song tonight played for a friend who was celebrating her 90th birthday. Just wanted to say that my wife and I were married at 18 and 17, and we're now 71 and 70, and still married to each other. We lost a daughter six years ago to breast cancer at age 41. Never take time for granted; it passes too quickly. Love the people in your life while you can. I would also add that our faith in Jesus has carried us through many storms of life. Blessings to you all.
We never know how much time we actually have until its gone.
Blessings and love to you both also. Thank you for posting.
God bless
God bless your marriage and my condolences to your family on the loss of your daughter. My daughter carried your first child for a full nine months, only to have my sweet granddaughter's heart stop just before she could be delivered. Now 25 months later, the pain remains, but we ask each day for our Heavenly Father to keep us strong as we honor our granddaughter's memory each day. My daughter has since had a son, God bless him, and she is pregnant again, but memories are hard to erase. Each day of the pregnancy we put our hope and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your foundation is solid with your faith in Jesus and I wish God's blessings to you both.
No offence.. i am sure that you are american and so it is not your fault...but have faith in real people...not silly man made religions. You have enough real love to not need silly religion.
I'm almost 68. This song never quits being relevant. Don't keep waiting for life to happen to you.
AMEN. I’m 60. I was 18, I blinked, I was 21 married with a newborn. I blinked he was 6, 18, 22, 37 married with a child of his own.
If you can somehow make it through the song without crying, reading the comments will start the tears flowing. With every passing year, this song becomes richer, and deeper in meaning. I can't believe I'll be 60 next year. I lost my father last year, man that was hard. So many good people gone over the past twenty years. But at the same time, I'm blessed with two beautiful boys and maybe I'll have grandchildren in a few years...still so much to look forward to. Not really sure how many more 'moments' I'll get. I'll be happy with 40 more healthy ones. Time to meet my grandkids, time to deepen my friendships, time to accomplish a few more of my writing goals. And maybe time for Paris...somehow never found the time to go there.
Damn it's so hard to read this with blurry vision
@@eswove9149 ♥

Next year I'll be 60, too..omg😎
Yes it did go by quickly...
My mom died on Thanksgiving 2024 at 93. I always told her she would make it to 100. I’ve played this song multiple times. So powerful, moving, beautiful, and abstract enough to open up memories and imagination. Thank you for the music and the lyrics. Love this song. Genius.❤

I just turned 58. I'm an old guy now. Lost my Dad two years ago and he always said "son, take it all in because it passes so fast." Man was he right. I look in the mirror sometimes and wonder who that person is staring back at me. I feel like 2020 passed in the blink of an eye!
And that's a good thing, 2020, was one of the worst ever, My condolences on your loss...
It's wild I just turned 36 I have two kids and the oldest is starting school. I feel like I'm strapped on a ride and we just created the the hill. I'm sorry for your loss my dad is my best friend.
I'm 44....a d I watch reruns on ALL IN THE FAMILY as I get ready for ready for work and the two main characters were in their late 40s in Real life...back then....ARCHIE looked like TODAYS senior citizen...you are NOT an old guy....
I turned 62 this summer and the memories can seem like they were only yesterday, but I have learned to take each day one day at a time and let tomorrow worry about itself when it gets here.
57 and boy can i relate man the time seems to accelerate ironically loss mydad 2years ago and my partner of 17 years in 2009 to greatest men in my life i have lived that 100 years already. 30vyears go by fast and i will be lucky to get that now i cherish every moment
I love how this song simultaneously makes you feel old and young at exactly the same time.
Well said! Also nuff said!!!
True
Never knew the title till now. And title just makes so much sense now
Also simultaneously makes you worry about your own mortality while also comforting you
@@Nobody-yj8yq Very True, Good Insight

This was song used in my "dad's" ( stepdad of 30 years as real dad died when I was a teen.) video tribute at his funeral at my moms house with bag pipes! It was amazing Blessings to us all!
We're going to use this for the slideshow at my wife's memorial.
I'm almost to 67, and I know it will be gone quickly. I can still "feel" 15, and 22, and 33, and 45, and half time at 50. It's a mural, isn't it? So thankful that my true eternity with Jesus awaits after this earthly life. God is good.

Yes, a mural...what a lovely way to describe it Dee. Every so often in this whirlwind called life, something catches our eye or ear and nudges us to stop, think, reminisce and look forward with a bit more clarity. John's legacy song here always does that for me, and now, so does your
ethereal comment.
🙏❤🙏
My son 22 yrs old passed away 18 months ago. He had so much time left here on this earth to grow and be able to have a family . I miss you so much son but we will be celebrating our 99 yrs soon. I love you.
I do understand how we feel cheated when our sons could not remain to finish the life we had hoped for them here on Earth. I truly believe that there is much in Heaven to which to look forward !
Sorry for your loss ma'am..I lost a child also..I understand what your going through..just always know God loves you..and your son will be waiting for you in heaven..
Sorry for your loss, Sherri.
I am so sorry for your loss.
@@janeofvirginia153 Not only in heaven but one day all of creation will be restored to God on a new earth forever. Jesus truly is the savior of the world. The early church proclaimed this, it is the real good news. The bible in its original language shows this. Look into the literal concordant versions for a very accurate translation. We are in eon 3 now. Eon 4 will be the millennial reign of Christ and eon 5 will be the new heavens and earth. At the end of eon 5 is the consummation when death is abolished and God is all in all.
I am 76 years old. My husband - my Love - passed in 2018. This song was one of his favorites and mine. On trips we listened and sang along with this song many times. It lifted our hearts and reminded us of the numbers already lived and the numbers to come.
God bless
The right age.
big hug from me....
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
I passed away in 1985 hohoho
This was one of my mothers favorite songs. She just passed away saturday at the age of 61. I wish i had 39 more years with her.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I pray the Lord will comfort your heart.
I'm so sorry to hear. I lost my mom a year ago. She was 87 years old. My dad is 88 now and he's missing his girlfriend of 65 years. I'm 61 and I feel lost. My husband passed away 5 years ago on our kitchen floor on his birthday. I'm so tired. I wish I could say that I knew more about life now than I did when I was young but, I don't. Hang on to anyone who you love and who loves you. 💙
@@CarlyFaith15 Bless your broken heart & weary soul ~ I can feel your pain from where I am.
I’m truly sorry for the loss of your husband & mother & your dad’s loss of “his girlfriend of 65 years”. We never know when the ones we love will go from us, and you’re so right ~ we should hold on to anyone who you love & who loves you…
And we should always let them know, in every possible way, how much they are loved.
I was 22 for a moment when this song came out.
I'm 39 for a moment, realizing how true his message is.
It all passes by so quick and you wonder what you did with it. Don't waste your life.
Meh, everything's a waste, nothing matters in the end.
Me too! I remember listening this song at 22 when I was preparing for my wedding. Now I am 39 and I have a 15 year old and still married. My life went by so fast.
I was about fifteen when it came out. It has a very special ring now. Those years were hell, but I still wish I could go back, just so I'd have it all ahead of me again.
"Don't waste your life." This the most significant words I've heard in years... Thank you.
I was 33 with my baby on way, he is 4 now, trying to be a good role model, so much harder than you would think, but worth it
The older you get the more relevant you realize this song is 🎼.
True
It sure does
damn true
Agreed. 40 right here
I agree, seems like yesterday I was only 15 and 62 now.
Rest in peace grandpa, you lived 100 incredible years, overcame so much, served in WW II, built your family, and will forever be my hero.
@@mikejacobs2886 Do you honestly believe the propaganda? Yes, he was brave and courageous, and sacrificed, but let's not act like the whole intent wasn't probably to give a reason to establish Israel in the middle east.
I usually don't get involved in political discussions, and I've only posted on RUclips maybe 3 times, but I can't let this one go unaddressed. I am THANKFUL for your Grandpa and all who fought in WW II to stop Hitler! Hitler is to be blamed for WW II - his intent was to ANNIHILATE the Jews, not help them establish Israel. The Allies wouldn't have had a bone to pick with Hitler if he hadn't started to invade other countries. SO I THANK GOD FOR YOUR GRANDPA AND THOSE WHO FOUGHT TO STOP HITLER FROM TAKING OVER MORE OF THE WORLD!!
@@willp.8120 -yawn-
@@willp.8120 bro my grandpa served in WWII at Okinawa the movie Hacksaw Ridge was based on. Don’t get it fucking twisted most of those men were real life heroes that laid it all on the line so you can have an opinion and not live in communism. I just have to say your a big boy I’m sure but when someone is vulnerable enough to share something you should learn to be kinder instead of being angry all the time. I promise it’s not a good look. I can be a real asshole but the people in my life deserve better. Try working on Empathy it will change your life and maybe you won’t be so angry. Cheers Good luck

I'll leave this comment here so If someone likes it, I'll comeback and listen to this legendary song 💝💯
Amazing how he was able to sing all that without bawling. Heard this today on the radio while receiving radiation for a cancer diagnosis, while my mother states away recieves radiation too (as we were diagnosed at the same time). It was hard to remain still, to say the least. I'm grateful for everything I still have, including the time I have now with her. Don't let the years slip past you. I 🤍 you mom, and I'll see you soon. Let's aim for 100.
May God bless you and your family. Jesus truly Loves You!
May God bless you and your family. Jesus truly Loves You!
God bless you I’ll be praying for you 😊
Sending you and your family love, peace and courage ❤️
You are healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ amen
I heard this on the way to the hospital when I was on my way to deliver my son a month before I turned 22. I gave birth to him on 07/20/04. Tomorrow he'll be celebrating his 18th birthday. Next month I'll be turning 40. This song brings back so many beautiful memories & moments for me. Thank you!🥰
Congratulations 🎊
Play it for him
The years was 2004 or 2007? Because this song is from 2006
@heatherpierce9123 just four years before your son’s birthday I had a son, Ryan born 7.20.2000 about 3 weeks early, his lungs not fully developed. Ryan knew my voice as he seemed to be very active every time I was around his mother. While he laid in ICU, I put my smallest finger in his little hand as he naturally grasped it, I told him I loved him. He was laying on his belly, turned his head and looked at me with his beautiful dark eyes. about 30 hours later, I decided to stay with his mother in her room. Before we even got to sleep, they called us and no parent should ever have to see someone doing CPR on an infant. They tried. They let us hold him for about 45 minutes before letting him go to holding room before the morgue picked him up for a later funeral. Yes July 20 has a significant meaning as my grandfather passed on that day to In 1986. Some may get 100 years some maybe just a few hours and none of us know what tomorrow holds and life can sure have unfair consequences, however I have the faith that I will see all that have passed before me. I to without would have been gone in December of 2019, except doctors blessed with technology are amazing at times with what they can do with your heart to keep you going. 🙏🏻

I was 11 when this song came out in 2003. I'm now 28, a decade passing since I graduated high school. I'm blown away by how slow and fast time seems to fly by at the same time.
I was 2 when it came out, I’m 19 now, I miss the days where everything was normal, no pandemic, no fear, no riots...
That’s true
It gets faster
I was 16 when this song came out, now at 33 i miss the good days of the 90's and 00's when the world was so much better places. These days it seems like not being able to wake out of a bad nightmare.
Welcome to adulthood my friend, im 32 with a wife and 3 kids,,,, seems like yesterday I was graduating H.S. and moving on to my next chapter... the military.... would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Everyone has said it, time seems to go both slow and fast at the same time.
Metal head here - guys's guy, tattoos. This song crushes me to tears. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.
We played this song at my grandma's memorial, she was 3 weeks into her 99th year, she was "99 for a moment." No matter how many times I hear this song I cry. It's all the beauty and all all the loss of life together.
It doesn't mater if it was for a moment it matters of how long she got to be with you and how long she lived
F
And you should cry. Memories will bring us joy and pain, but the Joy will always win the day. Remember her. Her backed bread, her Italian Tacos, and everything else she was.
Okay Italian tacos, was what I called my Grandma's Tacos but she was Scottish. In retrospect they were more street taco then most street tacos I have ever had... Miss you Grandma...
I cry 😭 every time.
What puts my mind at ease....all of us who come to Earth and have our Earthly Journey...no matter the length...once it is completed...we return Home...then...when one of The Greatest Events in The History of Everything Occurs.....The Wonderful Resurrection...why we get to resume our Earthly Journey....forever and always...so we all get more...than 100 years to live.
LYRICS
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between ten and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15, there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15
There's never a wish better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15, there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star
15, I'm alright with you
15
There's never a wish better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm 99 for a moment
And dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15, there's still time for you
22, I feel her too
33, you're on your way
Every day's a new day
Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
15, there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose, hey, 15
There's never a wish better than this
When you've only got a hundred years to live

Thank you for the lyrics
Thank you
Thank you!😁
Thanks for the lyrics 💜
Life is a moment
once a wise man said, "Finding old music you used to love is like getting back in touch with an old friend."
True
That's deep.
Reading this comment made me think about my grandpa he died in 2019 from natural causes he surved the army as a pilot over the pacific and survived world war 2
I agree
Indeed 😊
My daughter's sings this song every year on Father's day. We saw 5 for fighting here in Billings Montana together when she was 13. We also got to meet him and took pictures❤
He's touring now ( Oct. 2024) in the New England area.
I was 15 when this song came out, had my first love/worst heartbreak at 22, now I'm 33 married with a kid on the way. This song feels like the anthem of my life.
I was 17 when the single debuted in late 2003, and getting ready to turn 18 when the full album came out in early 2004; I was in high school and wondering where life would lead me. Now I’m 36 years old, married with 1 child. I remember thinking the song was beautiful then, and now 18 years later and I still do. It just hits differently as you get older and can truly relate to the fast passage of time. :/
same, it hits so real at 30
Im the same age :) im married with two kids
My son was 16 when this came out, he’s now 34 and kid on the way. Wedding this weekend and playing this song for our dance. 🥰 going to cry a lot
@@paddleduck5328 congratulations for you and your family!
I remember being 12yrs old wanting to grow up. Now I'm 50yrs old both parents passed away, grandparents gone. Makes me wish I was 12yrs old again, surrounded by them without a care. Playing baseball in the back yard, drinking out of the hose and riding my bike to the lake. It sure goes by quickly!
I absolutely agree
You’re still alive after drinking from the hose?! 😂
@@FreeTanman93 no I wrote it while not alive😆
@@JTBell-tk2zr I was just saying that because people in modern times act like drinking from a hose is deadly…
@@FreeTanman93 I know just my silly humour 🤪
I was 34 weeks pregnant with my first and only child, my son. I had cardioversion and was hospitalized to be monitored. The nurses played this song throughout the night. They apologized, I said absolutely none needed. This next month my boy will be 18. Life flashes in the blink of an eye. Experiences, relationships, family, and my baby boy has grown into a man. Hold every moment close, and just smile whenever possible. Love like crazy.
❤ 🙏🏼 😊
I remember listening to this song when I was 15…I thought I had the whole world in my hands…I remember saying I had forever and ever till I can relate to this song. I’m 31 and wow, just wow.
I'm 64..... How I wish I could turn back time and enjoy the good times longer and make different choices... but life has been good.
I totally agree / thank you speaking for may individuals
Thankyou sir
Amen to all of this statement's
I'm 28 and don't know what to do with my life
Going into my senior year of high school in the fall and I'm really not ready to grow up. Times flies when you let it. Cherish your childhood. You might just let it pass you by
Thanks for the advice not being sarcastic, time flies
I feel with you bud, Senior year is coming up and it's so weird to think that it's already here
Cameron Ward senior year?
doesnt look like it dude lol
Sophomore for me
+lucky metigaming It's been a LONG time since I've posted or updated my picture
I was 16 when this song was released on Nov 24th 2003, I turn 37 in 5 days and Where does the time go. For some reason it was in my head the other day cooking with my oldest, shes 14 and I just watched her help me cook. I remember the day I saw her open her eyes.God bless you all.
This song makes you realize if you follow a life of comfortable routine, years will fly by and you will question what have you done with your time? Live your life to the fullest! I am learning at 25 (almost 26) how fast time flew by when I didn’t pay attention and got comfortable doing the same thing over and over. My parents warned me the older you get, the faster time flies by and they were not kidding!
Just wait. It's trippy the moments still last forever but the years just melt away.
So mature a response. Love this. Cherish, Cherish each day. Everyday is a new day. Bless you for helping me see hope in the generations behind mine.
Very true. I am 51 and honestly, it feels like 25 was just a couple years ago
I have a 27 year old daughter - and I swear, I don't feel much older than 27 myself.
It is absolutely terrifying how fast the years go by if you aren't paying attention
I'm 36 and oh I so envy you. Live life, it flies by so fast. The one thing you can't buy, is time.
I'm turning 26 in 24 days, and I'm trying so hard not to fall into a depression because I sometimes think and feel as if I'm letting my life go to waste. I don't want that. I want to leave a legacy behind for my kids and their kids...But it's also a bit hard when moral support is directed at the wrong thing. Hopefully things will get better before it's all too late.
At 61, I feel the years slipping away from me. This song brings a tear to my eye.
Gorgeous...beautiful song..lose yourself within a morning star
Understood
I`m 57 in the Blink of an eye, my Mom was right the older we get the faster the years pass, glad I`m still here...
Todd P.
Does life get any clearer?
I turned 70 this year and I still hope to meet the love if my life because I don’t think I have yet. I don’t feel young - but I also don’t know why I’m supposed to feel old. I’m not waiting though, doing insane travelling on my own. I don’t want more regrets. I don’t wait for companions or approval. Within my modest means I’m living a big life. I’m blessed.
Aww Katherine, just read this, hope you lived happily ever after!
I loved reading this comment
Sitting here smiling at your message! Way to go🎉
Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
Please let me know how it turned out
I was 18 when this song came out , now I am 39 and I am still coming back listening to see whre I am right now. This is more than just a song, this is the song of our lives. Thank you Five for fighting for giving us this masterpiece
Heard it in a store two days, and listened to it about 50 times since then. Lots of crying and thoughts of being 15, when my mom, dad, and grandma were still alive. I heard it On April 27th, which happened to be the day Mom went to Heaven 34 years ago, Now at 71, I still miss her like crazy. She only got to be a grandma for one year, but knew we were expecting our second child when the Lord called her. And we named our third child, our daughter after my Grandma and Mom, the two kindest, sweetest, and strongest ladies God ever made. I will continue playing this and cry each time. Young people, don't waste a minute, as this old timer wasted more than I care to remember. Enjoy each day the Good Lord gives you.
Wow, you nust have lost your mom when you were 37. I also lost my mom when I was 37. I'd have missed her for 34 years also by the time I'm 71. What a lugubrious parallel. Only problem is that, I don't think I can survive that long without her. She was a special mom. My condolences to you!
God bless
@@ericwilson6994 Thank you so much for your beautiful response. God bless you.
I’m 75 so I’m 3/4s there. Still a lot to do and see. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you’ve got your health , you’ve got everything. Take care of yourselves and adopt a healthy lifestyle and you’ll make it! Thank God for every day because every day is not promised.
I was told this nor to bust your bubble but middle ages isn't 50 its 35 most people don't make it as long as u or I have very few make it to 100 so we have to be blessed we made it to here
I remember listening to this song in the car as a 10 year old with my dad in 2006 when my grandfather passed. Now it's 2021 and I'm 25 listening to this a year after my dad passed, Time really does fly. Really miss you Dad
So sorry for your loss, may the words sooth you day!!!
@@jamieevans3785 Amen!
God bless
I am 42 years old, and this song really reminds me about the importance of cherishing every memory we have especially with the people we love. thank you, my wife who always shares with me, in any situation.
This song reminds me......I married my husband in 1968. We were married almost 48 yrs when he died in 2016. 😢 Wow! Time went by so fast. Hard to believe. He was such a wonderful person and loved by so many. Spent his life helping others. Miss him so much ❤
God bless
You will Be with Him Again ❤️
Please Believe 🤞
sorry for your loss .
My parents married in 1969 and were still married when my dad pass in 2015 at 88 years old. At the visitation was the first time my mom looked weak in her whole like. She came out after seeing dad by herself and almost collapsed. My nephew and I caught her before she fell.
I've loved this song since it came out. I'm 71 and it always has resonated with me.
Your gonna live to be 120. You got this
Live on brother!👊✌
keep on rocking brother.
I am not too far behind you, the other day, my banker was asking me when I was going to start my S.S . Benefits.. What? Wait? I can't be getting that old...
We match. Not in age but as points along the spectrum of history and wouldn't change a thing! Rock on my brother!!!
My son was born the year this came out. He’s 20 now. I was 31. Now I’m 51. He’s in college. I’m still a teacher. Older but still have the heart of the 30 year old. I have Lupus now and cancer slowed me down. But I’m here.
Hang on to 30 forever
I’m glad you are still here!
I hope that you can be gifted with more pleasant years, stranger. Stay safe.
This song makes me cry every time thinking how fast time flies how quickly life passes us by and current moments becomes distant memories. Things change people change and we try to hold onto time but is slips out of our hands like sand in the wind😢
Life is to short its scary and sad at the same time😞😞😞😞😞😢😢
I feel the same, brother 😔 time goes by fast and you don’t realize it. It’s a reason why we must enjoy life as much as we can
I feel the same way, my heart breaks over all the loves lost or just taken in different directions.
Like another song from MY youth. We're dust in the wind. Grab as much as you can and cherish it, because it will be gone before you know it.
You're not alone, bro.
My son is 15 now. I'm a single dad and when I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. IDK where 57 years of my life went to, but they just flew by.
I hope my son can realize that life is fleeting and make better decisions and better use of his younger years.
This song is so beautiful,
Encourages me to live and not fret!
Looking forward to heaven w Christ!
❤
Amen
Natalie: AMEN!
I get so sad and happy at the same time listening to this song. It hits me even harder every year I come here to listen to this song. Live life to the fullest!
If I create a playlist for my funeral, this may be the final song...the way the piano ends with an unfinished chord feels a way of saying “I’m not with you, but I’m not done.”
I’m 57. When I listen to it, I still get tears in my eyes.
I was 15 when this song came out. I've been using it to track where my life is headed and how far i've come. I'm 32 now and doing my best to live life to the fullest and savor every moment. I'm getting married with a family on my mind. Hopefully I'll make it all the way to 99. If I do, I'm leaving another comment here.
Dude! Me too. At 15 I'd blast this every day. I'm finally ready to live life to the fullest and go after my goals full steam ahead.
Someone @ me in 68 years
Till we met at 99 bro 🙏
Stay away from that toxic vaccine or you'll never make it.
That sounds like an awesome idea. I hope you make it!
I am 63. Emergency spinal surgery, then Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer, then Brain Tumor. I only have the time I have. Life is good...
cpecpecpe , with Christ we bridge to eternity and 100 years is a blink. May blessings heap upon you.
God loves you🙂
God loves you...
Music it always like you do😁😁😁😁😁
see you on the other side. prayers up to you, random youtube commenter.
When this song came out in 2003, I was 23 years old. Now, I'm 44 years old, and I'm a father of 4 boys. It meant something 20 years ago, and it has even more meanings now. Beautiful song, hope to comment again in another 20 years. That would be awesome.
This song brings back fond memories of my late 30s, watching my son at age 3 (and my baby boy, less than a year old in 2004), and marveling at how blessed I truly am. Those boys are now in college! My grandmother died in 2004 at age 102, Christmas Day. The best thing to do while listening to this song is to go through your own ages and list something for which you are thankful, an experience or person in your life. Do that up to the present moment, and feel the love bubble up inside. Life is a patchwork quilt, with squares of joy overlapping squares of pain and loss. But the whole effect is breathtakingly beautiful, and absolutely perfect.
This song always makes me cry, no matter if I listen to it once or several times over. Both of my children are out of college and living on their own. My daughter was 9 and my son was five in ‘04, so I know exactly how you feel. I loved every stage of their childhood. It’s bittersweet, but satisfying at the same time to watch them become the successful adults we had a hand in. Make sure to visit them in college during their birthday or any obscure time. Whichever child I visited, I took them and their friends out to eat. Watching each one interact with the friends they would have for life was not just great fun, but gave me a glimpse into the future life they were building. I miss them terribly! My daughter lives two hours away. My son is a meteorologist on the west coast. I have the station’s app on my phone; I watch him each and every time he does the weather forecast. Of course it’s not like being there in person, but I love hearing his voice and watching his mannerisms.
Being thankful for the people who impacted your life, whether friends or family, is the most wonderful way to honor or memorialize them. And even when your children are grown, they will always be your babies. God bless your memories and future memories with them!
Life is a patchwork quilt beautifully said!
Wow. That's a deep thought and you're right.
Started listening to this song when I was fifteen. The day before my 16th birthday. Turning 23 tomorrow so, out of tradition, I had to watch the song. Next comment from me: 13 June 2031. Thanks for making this the most important tradition in my life. Reminds me to appreciate my time here on earth. I want to be 99 and dying for just another moment...
i;m 50 and life is cruel . it's to fast . my heart is 17 and my body hurts and i get hurt sleeping . haha ! take in your youth and enjoy it all . you can' stop the clock .
I’m 28, time flies so fast, I feel like I’m still 17-18 years old. 2 more years and I’ll turn 30. I don’t wanna grow old :(
I just want to stay young forever. I wish I could go back in time to when I was 13 years old (2005) and re-do my life all over again and this time I’d appreciate it so much more and do things I didn’t do when I was in my teen years.
❤️
"100 Years"
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm 99 for a moment
And dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15 there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Trimakasih 🙏🙂
Thank you for exerting your time for commenting this lyrics. Much appreciated

My Dad, a Vietnam Veteran, danced with a lady on our street once she hit her 100th birthday. It is so easy to hide in the shadows of others, as so many do. My Dad is 74 or so, he is Father of Four. He is also Husband and Pastor of 40 years.
I love this song. Eerily, and now being almost 66, every milestone, 15, 22, 33 and 67 has mapped to my life in most cases to the year. Have never heard a song that is as melancholic, beautiful, and meaningful. Every time I hear it, it triggers an existential moment of reflection that it so emotion-laden that I can only infrequently "go there." I've told my wife that I want '100 years' sung at my funereal, hoping I'll get to 99 by then :-).
learn from the reflection and do something THIS YEAR that you have been wanting to do your whole life
I hope you get there as well, Chris!
This song makes you think deeply about life. Where you are, where you're going, the person you were, and the person you're becoming.
The song takes back the past current, and pom.
My Dad passed away at 93 and I had this played with a video of his life at his memorial service. I don't think there was a dry in the chapel. Still hard for me to listen to without tearing up. Thanks for such a powerful song.
Beautiful ❤️
May he rest in peace, God bless
i love that.. i also like “remember when “… ❤
Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
I'm currently 21 years old. I first heard the song about 5 months ago when I was 20 and I can't get over how beautiful this song is. It is sad yet incredibly beautiful.
Just wait until another 20 years go by...It happens fast..
@@brandonk1502 seriously, but I heard this song many years ago when I was maybe 13 at most. Truly, 15 is something to cherish when you've only got a hundred years. I'm 32 going on 33 now. If only we could share memories or even just emotions, maybe then we could try and warn the younger ones
Mainstream radio music used to actually be this good...it still had soul and meaning way back in 2003
just remember to comeback and listen to this old friend when you turn 49 k?
@Chase Cantwell savor every single second of being young. I was 26 yesterday, and today I’m 65. That’s how fast it goes. Spend time with EVERYONE YOU LOVE. I mean real quality time. Don’t just run in say Hi, then I’ve got to go. Try your very best to not be in a hurry all the time. I’d give my life to go back to when my boys were little. I feel I took so much for granted. I couldn’t wait ‘til they got out of diapers. Now I’d give both my thumbs to have them back in diapers. Just soak it all in. It really does fly by. May God Bless You and Yours, All the Days of Your Lives!
When a song makes you think, reflect, and feel - you're listening to a masterpiece.
You nailed it
My dad died a couple days ago and I can’t stop listening to this song... I love you Papa 😔
My condolences to you. It's never easy losing a parent. My 91 yo mom died last October. May happy memories of time spent with your father remain with you. You're going to be all right.
Sorry for your loss, crying does help some might say and if you want to cry oceans, next give "Monsters" by James Blunt a listen.
Thanks y’all. I really appreciate the kindness.
My dad died about 5 months ago, he was 69, it sad and hard to lose a parent. This song makes me think of so many things and hard to place to words.
i feel you man.
Im 41 years old now.. This song's lyrics getting more deep for me since the first time i listened on MTV back in the days.. The more i listen the more i got flash back on my life.. Oh man...
I've been playing this song for at least 15 years. I am now 55+ with a wife and two kids. My Dad is gone...he didn't get his 100 years. Love and live to the fullest.
I hear you, I am about your age, with a husband and two sons. I am sorry to hear of your loss. We lost my mom this summer at 83, and I wish I had more time with her, but it wasn't meant to be. I am enjoying the time I get to spend now with my Dad. I wish you peace!
Man. I first heard this when I was 15. I'm 30 now, 3 kids, wife. If I only knew back then how accurate this song is. Really makes me feel like I haven't done enough in this life and I need to start. Man this song hits hard.
Bro what!!! Same here im 30 and heard this at 15 years old my god how time flew fast.
and time willl keep ticking faster so keep counting the ways@@CozyHumanoid
30 and 3 kids....wow
make sure some of your best friends are 10-15 years older then u… they will have the best advice and make sure you don’t repeat mistakes that change your life forever 😘❤️🤗
@@CozyHumanoidi sung in car to my daughter as i drove her to high school one morning-
Back then when I heard this song (I was around the age of 18) I thought that, wow, this is so deep. I enjoy singing this and whatnot.
Now, 12 years later, I stumbled again upon this song. I marvel at how life is but a fleeting moment. A failed suicidal act because of getting bullied at college (body shaming and physical abuse) resulting on a damaged liver and kidneys and, maybe, can only go for just another 15 years from now.
I sing along with this song and every time I sing the chorus "15 there's still time for you" I cry like a waterfall. I still got time. 15 years. Never a wish better than this indeed. Cherish your life people. It's a precious beautiful life we get to live.
thats deep. I hope your in a better place and person as than what you was before. dont give up :D
Qeisama Jesus loves you! Doesn't matter who you are. Life is fleeting, grab on to the hope found in Jesus. It is freeing to know their is life eternal after this one.
I don't come to shove this down your throat, but to spread and share a gift given to me.
Qeisama That hit my soul, i wish you 30 more years sir.
Qeisama wishing you a hundred more years to live! Continue fighting and know that you are loved. Sending virtual hugs
Qeisama how do u fail suicide lol
This song really hits me hard, right in the feels. As you grow older, you begin to truly grasp how fleeting life can be. Time seems to speed up, and it’s easy to forget to pause, take a breath, and appreciate just how far you’ve come. Watching the ones you love grow older reminds you of life’s fragility and just how precious every moment with them truly is.
This song reminds me that I might have wasted some of my 80 years when I was careless with my life. We think we will never grow old but my teenage years were just yesterday. I remember my first kiss and how wonderful it tasted. Spend your years wisely, love a lot, be kind and generous because your life will pass like a flash a light and leave only memories of not only the good, but the bad things you had rather forget.
@glennis3
Very well said. Spread love and good deeds.
Life is short, so live it to the fullest.
May u have wonderful years ahead😍
i so Love your comment...
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." - John 4:14
Hold onto what matters...Christ...and have life in abundance. God Bless...
Thanks for the advice.
❤️
This song has made me cry since I first learned the words to it. I'm 41 now.. don't want to get any older.
Reverse cougar alert
United States of America I have no problem with that
I feel the same way. I turned 20 years old in July this year and I was asked if I felt old. I said "No, I don't feel old". The next day I woke up and I said to myself, "I feel old".
You and many others aren't alone. I finished high school in 2015 and in December a few months later I sat in my room alone sobbing to myself because everything and everyone I came to know were now (for the most part) gone. A few I still hear of and see, but everything has changed.
I am 64, just now falling in love with the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with. Take advantage of the time you have left! I am!
I'm 52 and just had a triple bypass. My journey almost ended and I am so grateful to have more time. This song always makes me think of the stages in my life... I still remember being 5 and 10 and 15 and 20 etc. Like it was yesterday. Live your best life. Don't let the world get you upset. There is so much wonder and beauty in life.
My son turned 15 today and I shared this with him.
You find this song stunning from day one, but as you get older the lyrics become more beautiful and they make more sense to you. Just one of the most beautiful songs ever.
He's gotta be the least recognized singer-songwriter of this generation.
I’m 48 and the pandemic made me and my wife lost our jobs.. but we still have each other for a hundred years...
Dedi Sarwono Life seems pretty rough sometimes. Hoping you and family safe buddy. Godbless.
I hope youre doing great buddy. Godbless
me the opposite - 1 job / 0 wife (she left me).
Emman D'Great thanks.. Godbless you too..
Timothy Vicario same to you.. thanks buddy..
Stuck in traffic in Houston Texas,listening to the song over and over,Makes you think 100years goes by fast,the way this guy break it down,15,22,33,45,67,99.
My grandfather lived to 109.. this was the song to his 100th collage. many praises.
sooo many memoriies
without him I wouldn't be here
I am 46 years old, I feel/act much younger than my age and I don't plan on growing up anytime soon! What I've learned in my 46 years is that life is what you make it, it sucks for everyone at one time or another but you are in control of your own life. Don't count on anyone else to make you happy do it yourself......live the life you want not the one you think other people want you to live. If you fail at something, try it again....we all look back and say I should have done it different, that's part of life. I realized about 5 years ago that I don't get a "do over" or a "next time" it's just this time and even with the things I failed at accomplishing I will never regret any part of my life enough to wish it never happened! My greatest accomplishments are my 2 kids, no matter what I did or didn't do right in life they are what matters most!! So smile, tomorrow is a new day!
:)
Lisa Y those words, couldve been me Lisa, tears in my eyes, for what he sung, for what you said. xxx
Lisa Y {I am 46 years old, I feel/act much younger than my age and I don't plan on growing up anytime soon!}=GOOD FOR YOU, Lisa-I'm EXACTLY the same way & do not give one flying fk what the far too stuffy a lot of the time outside world thinks...
Please give your kids a copy of what you wrote. 😊 Even if they say it's sappy, it will be important to them. The things like this that my parents told me became a framework for my life choices. I wouldn't do-over a single thing because then I might have lost something that drove me to suceed and I would risk losing experience and empathy. Now and Future are where we can make changes.
When he gets to "I'm 99 for a moment...time for just another moment...," I cry every time. Every. Time.
Me too girl!
I'm pretty sure it's "I'm dying for just another moment."
Gail Spencer Choate it’s ok
Always good to hear this song . It reminds me that I was once young and hopefull. Now I'm old and still hopefull.
Even if we do live to be 100, life is just a blink of your eye.
I’m really 45 now…for a moment…my daughter is 13….I really am chasing the years of my life….it goes way too fast. I still feel 22. That was one of my most amazing years ever. Got married to the love of my life at 22…lived in Colorado and it was amazing. Insane that was more than half my life ago. Remember Every day is the best day of your life- you blink, and half your life is over….don’t forget that ❤.
true
God bless
Half my life ago I became permanently disabled from a massive brain injury and almost died. I'm 51 ( married 30 years) 😊 😊 My marriage is the best part of my life. We don't take each other's presence and love for granted.💙
I was 5 years old when this song came out. I didn’t hear it again after that until I was 15 and it hit hard for me then. Now I’m 25 and I came back to this song at my hardest times. I lost my best friend to OD when she was just 21. Time really flies so fast. Cherish all the memories. Big or small. Because I’m a blink of an eye it can all be taken away.
“I’m 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I’m heading into a crisis, chasing the years of my life”. How this line in the song already applies to me I just don’t know...life truly does pass by in the blink of an eye.
'mid-life crisis'?
Ikr, it really hits different
Just wait until halftime goes by, Theresa. My crisis was at 47, and life has been better than ever since I got through it.
Of course, I don't look as good as I did then, hahaha!
Im feeling it right now
How someone so young could write a song like this that speaks to all who hear it. Amazing!
Wow, still a masterpiece! It hits different at 42 than it did at 24
Hard to believe it was that long ago aint it.
I agree. This song changes with age. The older I get, the better I can look back in clarity. I feel like the hand of God showing our life in slow motion. Looking back through a rear-view mirror has been a whirlwind of emotions. This song is truly healing. It's an age-less song.
And at 75. Just had my birthday and hadn't listened to this song for a couple of years. Since then, my mom passed at 105 and I fought cancer and survived...it definitely hits you differently if you haven't heard it for a couple years.
God of mercy
I am 36 but I get it
Here because my 30 yo son's getting married soon, I'm 67 and every moment is important now! Loved John for 20 yrs & especially this song ❤❤❤
very true sentiment, live life to the full. im 53 and spent most of those years working and worrying.
it came home to me when my wife said "lets go and make some memories while we still can.
so webought a big touring motorbike and are going on trips all round Europe.
I also now have my own little recording studio at home to write and record my own songs and im learning piano, all stuff we should have done years ago.
we now have a new moto "PLAN FOR THE FUTURE BUT LIVE FOR TODAY"
Thats always been my question though, what does it mean when people say live life to the fullest?
Godspeed to you and your wife. Have a great trip!!
Gee, that sounds awesome!
WAY TO GO STUART!!!
I'm 19 now. After 10 years hope someone will hit the like so I can remember this moment I'm typing this down. Love this song. To my future self you've been through a lot and take time to breath in and just LIVE❤️ This is me admiring my older self🥺 Fingtingggg✊
You've got this life girl , hang on with everything you got you've got this ..
Now you are 20. For a moment.
You got this, girl, every day is a new day!!
Here’s the secret: your body does the aging. You will always see yourself as 20-something. You will be young until your body is done. So take care of your body and live a long, young life.
I’m 64 and still hardly believe my mirror.
Your life is ahead of you. Enjoy every moment. Someday you’ll be 62 like me and be looking back. God bless you.
