Great song by Moe, ~ Arthur

[bubbasouth69]

I lost my dad a couple of hours ago. He was able to live this song and I pray I can do the same.

[leonticonderoga2]

I'm only 19, but I love this song because it helps me realize that I have only one life to live and that it will not last long in the greater scope of time. I hope that the Good Lord allows me to live a full life, even if not a long one, where I can enjoy time with those I love, work hard to fulfill my goals and make a difference, even if it is a very small one, on this world.

[glipzik]

Mo has something a lot of country singers can only wish they had. A pleasant singing voice.

[jko3139]

LSU pic??  WPS!

[LessonsLearned87]

My dad loved this song, and well my baby sister got married, and one week later we lost dad. He got to walk her down to the preacher to give her away and he got his wish.... He was only 48 years old... but every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out... I miss him so he has been gone for 22 years and it still fills like yesterday..... but then 2 years ago we lost our mom.. and they both pass away in june... It hurts so bad.. I love you both dearly and miss you too......

I will see you again

[kawikahob1]

[paranormalchicka777]

[darrell1934]

Moe is a wonderful entertainer! I love all his music!

[Anaheimfan]

When I was in 10th Grade, I left school to go work for the town, after work I would go to the coffee shop and have coffee with my cousin and an older gentleman name of Howard, his wife, the wife of a family friend, and another gentleman. Howard would share his stories of being a lumberjack and the way the town used to be, eventually, the shop shut down and I found out that Howard passed on...It was sad news, R.I.P Howard, I'll see you at the corner table up in Heaven some day, I'm buying.

[Anaheimfan]

Long story short, I can really feel that 2nd verse. Howard, Mr. Fagery, Mister Oddesson, all great people and great friends...They're teardrops in my eyes.

[clyde2921]

Thank you brother Bandy. You awaken the spirit in Grandpa's everywhere.

[A1l2l2e2n4]

The version of this song I remember hearing was Gene Watson's, but Moe Bandy does a good version of this song, too ---he could give Gene a run for his money!

[sm0kindatg00d]

he just played here in San Antonio not even months ago

[1999hannahable]

A wonderful singer what has happened to him, if anyone knows please respond

[1999hannahable]

This is country Music not what they play now and

call it country music

[Joy23158]

yes good song x

[TheSandsie13]

one of those songs you find yourself singing along to in the car . always loved moe he was cool.

[Here0nMars]

What a great song. It means something, especially to us old-timers.

[dave4854]

A sad but great song, it covers family and friends and peoples feeling when they're gone.

[swansdaughter]

I haven't heard this song in years. It makes me think of my uncle, who died suddenly of a massive heart attack when he was 39. He had adopted two little girls a year before. He was a great guy, and I wish his years had not run out so soon.

[The1tireguy]

[cookie9940]

I loved this song ,frist time I ever heard it,love moe bandy

[marty1964fishingman]

This Song Sure Hits My Heart Lost Friends Way to Soon

[Seachop7]

I love this song because of the words/sentiment, the music that you can sing along with, and even the thought that if you played it at your funeral people would agree it tells the important things in life - to sum up a lifetime. I listen to this whenever I feel blue and to me it's so reassuring.

[TheWick53]

Hey Luker...I hope you're still out there somewhere.

[batouchofclass]

Thanks for this one Moe. What a great song!!! I had to run out and buy this one. Love you man. xxxx keep on singing...you're one of the best. ;)

[cthrogmorton1]

I listened to this song on the way to my friends funeral.  It comforted me. Probably one of the best songs ever written. Makes you realize that we don't have forever.

[jennel802009]

This is so what country music is about. Don't you just miss those good ol' days when you listened to a country music song like this and you get that wholesome feeling. This kind of country music is what puts a smile to your face. I mean I like some of the new stuff but it's more like pop than country though. This right here is when country music actually told a story or had some true meaning to it. Anyways, yall have a blessed day.

[MrTommyWolf]

This song was not written by a woman singer it was written by 3 men. Kevin Stephen Welch, John R. Hadley & Scott Dooley.

Many have sang it I like Moe Bandys version the best but whoever you prefer it is a great song

[janiesartain01]

makes me think of one of my dearest friends who left this life too early

[RamJamable]

I'm praying for the man with the pancreatic cancer- I know that this is his fervent wish

[TennesseeJimmie]

Dang! It was "Americana" that Was President Bush's favorite song. Sorry for the misquote Moe. Well the same still goes!

[TennesseeJimmie]

I heard Moe says this is President Bush's favorite song which for me is another reason to love both the song & President George W. Bush.

[TheJuneCleavers777]

I'm pretty sure that Kevin Welch, a nashville local songwriter, wrote this.

[neowilliams]

@TheJuneCleavers777 The song was NOT writen by Moe Bandy, but quite a few artists have taken the song and adapted it to their playing style. I dont know who wrote it, but it was a woman singer, i forgot the name. Its still a great song none the less, no matter who wrote it.

[shirleyu812]

@TheJuneCleavers777  ; Kevin is an amazing song writer, indeed one of the best out there!

[PamelaEaster]

This was my granny's favorite song. I was blessed to have it played for her when she passed away.

[Devilsrogueangel]

Thishits home for me I have 3 toddlers and a newborn and I am facing panceratic cancer

[senselesskiller]

@Devilsrogueangel Many prayers to you.

[111oldie]

SUper song, thanks for posting!

[DaveWollenberg]

Moe hit #6 in Billboard, 6-8-87. Original version had backin' vocals from Baillie and the Boys. God bless!

[lonesomerider1]

Thank God I'm not too old to enjoy this song.

[rondelespirit]

Tissue anyone????? This song brings a joyous tear to my eyes, know what has been what is and what will be...

[10thtestiskills]

this is a terrible version of kevin welch's song. It takes a song full of feeling and turns it into a corny, unfeeling, money making song.

[norbie6]

Good classic country by a fantastic singer!

[GlennAgency]

this song was written by the incredible KEVIN WELCH! what a great songwriter and person....

[Fidgety2]

I have been very blessed to reach the ripe ol' age of 60. This has especially been true over the past two years. I thank the good Lord for letting me reach my goal. Listen to the words.

[coomason5]

Good song, long forgotten. Thanks for posting.

[HossCurtis]

Yes -this is great stuff!!! New popified country 'CW-musicians' should listen to this -and to Waylon! And Gary Stewart, and George Jones, and Merl Haggard...and, and...! Hoss ;-)

[ezridgemu]

I love this song and thanks also for the pictures, somehow I missed this great singer and song in my younger days...and I'll never die you, thank God for a good life.

[thevernonator1]

This is a great song, written by Kevin Welch and a couple of other guys. Kevin does an even better version of it in his shows. A new band called the Trishas, an all female group which includes Kevin's daughter, does a killer version of it. There are at least 2 YouTube videos of them doing it, including one on Music Fog, and one at the Mucky Duck in Houston, where I saw them recently. They are coming back there on May 22, for what should be another great show. Kevin is at the Duck on May 13.

[kim44ash]

I love this song

[46catman]

If you like this then you owe it to yourself to get directv and watch RDF. at 7pm central on fridays is country family reunion . we sing the songs that made us great . we also talk about the songs .

[karzparty]

This is a song That tells me what my parents think about when they hear it.

this song rocks

[pablum51]

This is one of the very best songs ever.

It pretty much sums up life in general.

This song was written and performed for the love of music, rather than a get-rich-quick scheme, like most so-called music is these days.

It's a real loss that music of this quality isn't as common these days.

Truly, this song is from the 'Golden Era' of music.

[rondelespirit]

@pablum51 I agree with your comment... I BELIEVE therefore this music will be the direction for all to follow, if that makes any sense... The Real and Natural WILL be the way of whats to come, I know it!!!

[kawikahob1]

@pablum51 TRUE! Just keep it country, pablums51!

[0416371]

@pablum51 this one of my faverates nice song well done from borderland pioneer

[leftlanecharlie]

moe is a true american

[Britishrailer]

What a wonderful song.

[Arcticfox36]

Background vocal perfection by way of Baillie and the boys.

[turbo1duner]

Can't believe there are only 2 comments ... now 3.

This song has tugged at my heart for decades.

[duckzz90]

[tysongeisler]
