    We played this song at my dads gravesite service, he and my mom were married just 3 days short of 50 years when he passed. I remember them dancing in the living room so many times and him singing it to her. At the funeral mom just kept asking if they would play it again. so we did, we played it again, and again, as many times as she wanted. Will never forget their deep love, and how this song expressed it so well. I Love you daddy - But you went away, and I miss you. I will never get over you.

      Dear Susan,
      This song means so much.
      What a loving tribute to both your and your mom. They sound like saints. Eight years is a long time. I wish the best for your mom if she's still here and for you.
      My precious Bonnie Sue passed three years ago this November after 50 yrs and 76 days. I still sing this to her several times a week with the guitar she bought for my 70th birthday, her last gift.
      God bless you and yours, Susan,...and every one reading this. Pick up the phone tonight and tell someone you care about how you feel.

      This song is real. It contains everything that a loving heart needs. It has become part of my expression of love and I will never abandon the trail. It was from The Don of COUNTRY MUSIC. He is also my ANCHOR IN COUNTRY MUSIC OCEAN. What makes it sweet is that DON WILLIAMS WILL REMAIN MY BEST FRIEND.

    My dear sweet husband passed away last month and this was our favorite song. He was my soul mate for 33 years, my rock and my once in a lifetime love. He was one of the kindest, generous and loving people anyone could ever meet. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly and my heart feels so empty without him. Love you always and forever my darling Herb.

My siblings took my parents to Don Williams concert and when Don started to sing this song, my dad, paralyzed on one side and couldn't talk, grabbed my mom's knee and gave her a BIG smile. He loved her and loved this song- what a tear jerk memory-miss him so much!

My uncle made the beautiful observation that the lyrics to this song could be interpreted in several ways; romantic love, love for Jesus, and love for family/friends ❤ this is now one of my favorite songs of all time.

    I sang "You're My Best Friend" to her about a decade ago when we were young (still young though, lol) and just good friends. Today, I am playing this song while working from home, and she is lying in bed next to me. She is not just still my best friend; she's now the mother of our six-year-old daughter and is carrying our soon-to-arrive son. She is the woman of my life. I look forward to playing this song to her many more times in the years to come, and even as often as this post gets liked. 💕💕

    This song, along with Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet, got me through some seriously dark times in my life. The anxiety and pressures I was going through and just listening to them songs dragged me by the scruff of my neck through it all - they just helped keep me reminding that the end of the day was always in sight and I will make it through the next one. To Anyone else struggling with the stresses of the world, tomorrow is untouched - who knows what wonders it'll bring, keep fighting the good fight.

Today at 10:00 am he went to meet the Lord and I knew I would never hear him sing again,, I needed to hear this and I thank whoever posted this song, It has given me a measure of comfort.. Rest In Peace Tom And also Don Williams who passed on a year ago Sep 8, 2017 ,,, may he R.I.P...
