  • RIP Little Dawn. My heart goes out to the Dad and Mom who are bereaved.

  • Very touching. May GOD be with you all that have lost a child. I can;t even imagine the pain.

  • I used to sing this to my doughter, she's 12 now!

  • my dad sang this to me and I miss him so much

  • This song touches my heart. =...)

  • MY DAD USED TO SING THIS TO ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG DAD LOVE YOU !

  • awwww what a wonderful tribute to your daughter. I've always loved this song since I was a teen, and sung it to my own child when she was little, she's 35 now!

  • i also listened to this song with our late son what a lovely tribute to your daughter

  • David,

    I'm sure your daughter is listening and has a big smile on her face! My dad bought this single for me as a 45rpm when I was five years old (other side was "Snowflake") - love Jim Reeves and love this song. Still have the 45rpm!

    Paul from Australia (originally Scotland).

  • 4 people have no heart. How could you not like this?

  • it was favorite for even when i dint understand English.

  • What a lovely tribute!!

  • I used to sing this to my little girl and now she is 13 today and so little. Love her and love JR.

  • Such a wonderful song! Wish I could have heard this song 4years ago when I dad was still alive.

  • I love Jim Reeves!! No one sings like him! His songs are SO tender! One song I miss hearing is Teach Me How To Pray. It was sung with the same little boy. Is that his son? If so, did he grow up to sing like his dad? It touches my heart. Could you add it to YouTube? Thanks!

  • i remember listening to this all the time when i was a little girl with my grandad:) sang it to him still.

  • I saw Jim Reeves in concert. I think it was 1961, in Albequerque, New Mexico, at the Civic Auditorium. It was a wonderful concert. Jimmy Dickens and Claude Grey also performed that evening. This is wonderful to be able to listen to all these great old songs and watch the videoes. I truly appreciate all of this.

  • hello dave.another classic that will never be forgotton.thank you for sharing.

  • When I was a little girl my daddy translated country songs from English to Norwegian (Im from Norway). Good memories =) Now I understand them all, but it was great to have a dad that took the time to translate all those "stories" we find in Country Music whenever I wondered what the song was about!

  • @northernlightslady

    How wonderful that your Daddy should translate the songs for you. This song was a favourite of my late daughter Dawn, R.I.P. to whom my channel is dedicated. This was my first video and as a tribute to her I remade and uploaded this song for her 40th birthday using photographs from family albums. Thanks for taking time to leave your comment.

    God Bless

    David

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1 I thk this was a wonderful tribute to your daughter, more people should do this for their loved ones who have passed on. I lost my mom in 1993 and I still miss her every day.

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1 May you know true happiness !

  • @northernlightslady How lucky you were to have a Dad who knew the importance of these songs and the meanings behind the words, plus the Bonus of the great man himself Jim Reeves to sing them for us all. ;-)

  • is there a fan club 

  • @64cumo

    David

  • Good ol' gentleman Jim. Who wouldn't fall in love with his music if one's daddy had to play those lovely songs early mornings over the weekend (when he didn't have to go to work)? When the songs were heard right from dreamland?

    I did fall in love with them then as a kid, and much more from my late teens as a Christian.

    I still miss those early mornings, getting off bed to see my dad dreamingly listening to those tunes, and dreaming with him.

    In my 40's now, still loving those days...

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1

    My heartfelt commiseration, David.

    It must still remain a painful experience, but if she died a Christian and you are (and remain) one, there is always hope of a most wonderful reunion in the life after.

    PS: Till now I never did realise till now that song is about a man and his son! I have three lovely daughters and prefer sharing it with them, than my son - lol...

    This song was "Our Song" and used to sing it together often. It brings with it the happy memories of hours spent listening to Jim Reeves together.One day we will sing this song together one day. Until then I will continue to make my videos and upload in her memory.

    David

  • sorry about your daughter. but be happy that someday you will still be reunited with her in Heaven. She misses you too.

  • the boy singing on this 1959 recording was ME. google stevie moore

  • I am greatly honoured that you should stop by my channel.This song was a favourite for my eldest daughter and myself, singing it together often. As a little girl she would sit on my knee, when she was older she would lay her head on my chest, look up into my eyes and sing "but you love me daddy."This she did often, untl she passed away in July 2005, so this song has become very special to me.

    I did a remake in Aug 2008 using photos from the family albums.

    God Bless

    David

  • Thank you bothm I know I will but th epain never left.... I still have break downs and it can get pretty rough. all willbe well in the end and I will be iternnally grateful for having enough love to never foget.

  • Thank you for your lovely comment.

    God bless

    David

  • Speaking as one who knows from many experiences, let me assure you that our departed ones are most definitely still alive in another realm.

    If you will become totally aware of your surroundings and pay attention to those little sounds most people ignore you may hear some that are quite familiar.

  • Oh how true that is. I am aware of my Daughter's presence often. Even more so when I am making my videos. She is there by my right shoulder, watching to see which Jim Reeves song is to be featured. She is never far away.Thank you for your visit.

    God Bless

    David

  • @flatpick4eadg SO TRUE.

  • My dad used to sing this to me as a kid, but he changed the words to:

    'Take pride in a fall, I'll be there when you call

    Because you love me daddy

    When you're burning in hell, with a story to tell

    Because you love me daddy"

  • The daft things dads do. I know I'm one lol

    David

  • no one should have to bury a child -i don't even want to imagine it.

  • You are so right. It is said that time is a great healer. Time has healed nothing for me, in time I have learned how to cope with my loss. With the support of family, friends and the many messages from the YouTube family who have been most helpful.

    God bless

    David

  • This makes me think I my 5 year old daughter....I am sorry for your loss. Our family lost our Brother in 1968 and I sent my condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you for your condolences and likewise I send condolences for your brother. Enjoy every moment with your daughter.

    God bless you all

    David

  • both parents still alive but still had no parents...do you love love me daddy

  • Thanks for stopping by.

    God Bless

    David

  • hey swazilady .. thats sounds really sad.

    some parents do not know how to show love . it comes from their own childhood.just make sure you break the circle and if or when you have kids, give them all the love you never had..and then lots more.

    good luck from mr binkybonky

  • I am sorry to hear of the sad loss of your dear brother. If you have read my profile you will know that i fully understand what you and your family are going through.

    Strange that you should mention "Bimbo" because when my late daughter was only 3 she would sing along to the chorus of this song while sitting on my lap.

    God Bless you and your family

    David

  • nice job m8 :)

  • Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment.

    God Bless

    David

  • I'm not sure if my parents know this song or not, but this would hit them hard as well, because my oldest brother died in 2004.

    I do remember they had a Jim Reeves record, with Bimbo and a bunch of other songs we'd all sing to.

    It tore our world apart, and things just aren't the same. It was an unexpected death. We miss him terribly.

  • Wonderful song! So sorry to all who lost their dad, may they all rest in the arms of God. Thanks dagenhamdaveNo1 for the great songs and videos that you are posting!

  • I made this video and opened my channel in memory of my late daughter Dawn who passed away 4 years ago. We both like Jim Reeves songs and this became OUR favourite and sang it together often.

    Thanks for your comments.

    God Bless

    David

  • dawn was very lucky to have someone love her and treasure her so much. that's the way daddy's should love their daughters.like there's no more special girl in the whole world.

    David

  • I loved hearing jim reeves as a little boy in my boarding school in calcutta india he is still big there

  • It is great to hear that his music is still well liked after all these years.

    David

  • It's been almost 2 years since my Dad passed away. I still can't even describe the hurt I feel everyday and how much this song reminds me of him.

  • I am sorry to hear about your father. I know how you feel. It is 4 years on the 11th July that my daughter passed away. This was our special song which we often sang together, I hope that this video brings you many happy memories of your dear Dad.

    God Bless

    David

  • So sorry to hear about ur loss. My prayers to you and your family .... I love this song very much as well.

  • I am so sorry to hear about your dear Dad R.I.P. and so close to Christmas too. I know how that feels, my own Dad passed away many years ago now. 1971 and the date was 21st Daecmber. Try to think of the happy memories, I'm sure that is what he would want.

  • Oh Nikki, how sad that your Dad did not see his Grandchild, that must be very hard for you but hope this song brings you some comfort and happy memories of him. It will be 4 years next month and I miss her greatly. Last year I remade this video for her 40th birthday using photos from family albums of Dawn and Myself. Also I made "Sisters" again with family photos.

    God Bless

    David

  • My Daddy used to sing me this song; I actually used to feed the puppy milk in baby bottles. We have played the LP record of this song so many times, that it grew tired. Yeah! I always asked too many questions.

  • Although this song is about a father and son it seems to have been popular between fathers and daughters. I remade this video last year using family photos to commemorate my late daughter's 40th birthday.

    Yhanks for your comment

    David

  • God heavens Dave I noticed that thios video was uploaded in Sept 2007, i am amazed at the quality of the video,was it always like that or has the HQ value improved it. I seem to remember the quality in 2007 was pure doodah LOL.

    but this is superb.

  • You are right Dave, the quality has vastly improved although the HQ box does not show the yt:quality =high is correct and the right spacing before and after. the only other thing I did was to click on the blue star and from the drop down clicked on the 640 x 505 box below the coloured bars to increse the video screen size.

    I am quite pleased at the quality now of my very first video.

    David

  • Am very sorry for your losted one theres always a place in are harts for her and god musted of wonted a stunner ;)

  • Thak you for your kind words re my daughter. I did a remake of this last year for her 40th birthday using family photos.
