  • Es un placer escuchar a una canta muy linda

  • My favorite Jim Croce song. I think he hits it right on.

  • I have still have this original album and even as a young highschooler in 1974 I felt the meaning and the flow of the music was amazing even before experiencing what the songs were about........ Love to all

  • I loved her then and I love her now more than ever!

  • Funny how Croce is so well-known for "love-songs". Most of his songs were songs of heartbreak. Songs of heartbreak that help you with your own heartbreak. Help you keep walking, and help you get up in the morning.

    Wanna hear love-songs? Google love-songs!

  • i shrug when i hear this song,coz its fuckin amazing.love and peace from philippines

  • Thank you.

  • Wonderful song. I miss him. I miss you. I thank you

  • your song is oilder than me but man I LOVE IT.

  • 12-27-2007. It was 4 years ago today my by beloved cousin lost a two and a half year battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease. At her funeral, this was played during a video montage of her life. Pam, has it really been 4 years. Where has the time gone? It's still hard to believe that you're no longer here. We all miss you. From your beloved cousin.

  • Always loved listening to Jim Croce - such beautiful, meaningful songs. A man cut off in his prime.

  • i love this song soooo much

    

  • I had to see

    jim the night he died he was heading to play in Sherman Texas @ the Ida Green Theatre @ Austin college we stood in freezing rain and they would'nt open the doors everyone started to complain a man came out and announced that Jim had been in a plane crash in

    louisiana. They us back our $3.25 for tickets I wish I would have kept mine :( Ouch

  • oh man... too fitting.

  • What can you ..... Pure and beautiful songs.

  • what is it with this song i cant get enough

  • GREAT STORY AND MELODY.

  • One of the greats

  • ahhhhhhh i simply love this song!

  • Describes what I have now to a tee.

  • Viva Jim por siempre cabrones...!!! Atte, sus fans de México...!!!

  • I agree with your comment, sthurman87. I had heard this song for the first time, about a year or so ago, shortly after a breakup with a girl I dated. I had taken several discs of our trips together and (LOL!) how fitting it was when I heard this song.

  • im crying, yup those are tears..not again, damnit jim why did you have to go

  • ♪ ♥ ♫ ♪Somehow it just can’t be true

    That’s all I’ve left of you

    But we sure had a good time

    When we started way back when

    Morning walks and bedroom talks

    Oh how I loved you then.

  • Photographs and memories Christmas cards you sent to me All that I have are these To remember you Memories that come at night Take me to another time Back to a happier day When I called you mine But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then Summer skies and lullabies Nights we couldn’t say good-bye And of all of the things that we knew Not a dream survived Photographs and memories All the love you gave to me Somehow it just ..
  • I guess it's obvious, Jim wrote from his heart, no commerce could MAKE him write anything...

    He was a genius - just repeat your words to agree completely...

  • @Alexander317yep I was 15 when he dided in a plane crash I played the 8 track for weeks straight While i was supposed to be in bed sleeping

  • It's still great and popular...

    Since I was a school boy I've listened to this amazing album...

    Thank you again and again Jim, you could have written much more...

    Bless you, the hero of my youth...

  • @Alexander317yep Here's a thought. Alot of people like to froth about the mouth when it comes to John Denver and his song writng ability, but I can recall several of his songs that were total suckage. I was always a Croce fan and at 50 years old I can never recall a bad song written by him. He was a genius ( my opinion ).

  • I wonder who the woman was that he wrote this song about?

  • R.I.P JOHN !!!

  • i miss my childhood days.. my dad.. my mom.. our simple life when we are in our home.. watching the sun set.. listening to this song..

    after 11 years.. its seems like yesterday.. im 19 now..

  • leave only footprints, take only memories

  • It Must Be Popular By The Start

  • RIP Jim 

  • Love this kind of music! You can actually visualize everything that's going on in the song, great songwriting!

  • A lyrical genius, the likes of which we shall never see again!

  • To listen if only to cry... this makes it easier somehow...

  • with love

  • great video my friend

    

  • songs that tell stories...where have they gone?

  • James, you left us too soon.

  • My entire life with my ex was lost in a computer reset so all I have memories that are slipping away....

  • @topherhadley122077 I can relate in a way, The image of her face slowly fading away, the soft tone of her voice fading out. All that is left are broken memories but still there is something left.

  • A dear friend - my ex-boyfriend decided this life was too hard and left us. Even though I'm happily married with beautiful children, this song will always remind me of him and how he helped mold me into who I am. RIP Dave. I will always love you.

  • A beautful song. Find myself reminiscing about my life years ago. Thank you Jim Croce for your beauitful, but brief contribution to excellent music.

  • more soney and share

  • avampireconfesses . com

  • HIS SONGS  ARE MY CHILD TIME OF MOMERY

  • What a great song writer for sure!

  • his songs truly are time in a bottle

  • @NotoriousMannk Funny - gave me chuckle, that comment about her. Aren't we all a little bit, though?

  • This is the stuff I grew up listening to on the radio. No wonder I hold artists of today to such a high standard. Thank you for your time here Jim.

  • I was 11 years old when Jim died, and this song STILL makes me want to cry.

  • when I was 16 a beautiful French girl made me listen to this and stare into her eyes!

  • @NotoriousMannk Wow.  A very intelligent and enlightened girl.

  • @skerddycat she was also nuts!!!

  • When my wife and I got married in the mid-seventies, we chose "Time In A Bottle" as our song. Everyone else was picking stuff like Chicago's "Color My World" and they were one of my favorite bands, but we wanted something a little less chosen. I have never regretted our decision for one moment. BTW, today is our anniversary.

  • "And of all of the things that we knew, not a dream survived"

    Those words hit hard.

  • @sthurman87 I completely agree with you...they do hit hard.

  • Soulful. Moving. Timeless perfection. Thank you for the glorious artistry, Mr Croce.

  • Jim Croce is one of my favorite artists during the 70's....

  • I cant help but think of my wife who passed last year when I hear this song now. She was an exceptional woman and gave me more than I ever merited. RIP Avis, and RIP Jim Croce.

  • @rondunderfunk who is avis?

  • @hotmn4u Avis, to whom I alluded in my previous comment, was my wife. We separated becuase of a lot of things that were more fault of mine than anyone's, and a year later (29 Mar 2010) she died. She had brittle bones and was likely to die young anyway, but that we couldnt reconcile and I wasnt there when she passed has made the loss even harder to take. She was one in a million.,

  • this song makes me cry hard almost every time i listen to it. makes me think of friends and family that are no longer here. a lot of jim' songs have a great deal of sentimentality. one of my favorite artists. died way too young. RIP, jim.

  • Man the power of Jim's music. he could say more in a few simple word and notes than most of today's singers combined...

  • this song makes me think of the greatest love of my life and how i lost it. But also gives me hope for happiness in the future.

  • jim's music will always remind me of my high school days and his music made it the most wonderful time of my life . . . . . . . . . . .

  • jim's music will always remind me of my high school days and his music made it the most wonderful time of my life

  • The greatest-hits collection mentioned in the description box was originally released on vinyl? I didn't know that, but I do have it on CD. I might add, however, that the pic in the video looks like the cover for a different compilation album/CD. Still, thanks for posting this song.

  • @CCRoxtar According to the description below the video, the album was originally released in 1974. According to wikipedia and other online sources, CDs were not widely available until 1982.  Therefore, music from the early 1970s was released on vinyl or as record albums.

  • Listeningforgod For as long as we can keep the memory of those we have loved alive in our hearts, a part of them, probably the best part, is always with us,

  • This is such a pretty and meaningful song, Jim Croce was a one of a kind song writer. He is missed <3

  • @ ListeningforGod: So terribly sorry.

  • Haven't heard this in such a long time-frankly I was moved to tears about a love lost a long time ago-bittersweet memories-the power of good music.

  • My husband died in my arms the night we came home from a trip to celebrate out first anniversary. 'Nough said. Photographs and memories, that's all I've left of you. Oh how I love you still, 27 years later, I love you still. Good men never die, they live on through our memories.

  • theres not an artist alive today with the exceptional profound and amazing talent of jim croce.

  • @wafflecopter1000 ketty perry..lol . just kidding. cant agree more with you ,,,

  • great *****

  • I just wish there was one musician in my generation with a fraction of the talent he had . . it makes me so sad to see the state of music and know that I'm living in a musical dark age.

  • @dissentarygary77 Monte Montgomery has a lot of writing similarities. Though Mixes folk with blues he only plays acoustic. I've been a Croce fan my entire life,sadly I was born 3 years after his death.

  • we all miss you Jim, someday in the afterlife we'll meet.

  • reminds me of the new artist Crystal Bowersox and her writing skills,

  • Damn, if he only had take the bus...

  • I can't chose, I only have about 40 favorite Jim Croce songs...

  • Growing up, my mother made sure I experienced all that Mr. Croce had to offer.

  • @imlords007 listening to him, with a rainy day under the blankets with hot totties oops

  • Dang I was born thirty years late.

  • maby the best song ever - one of the best for sure, i love it

  • apparently 2 people don't like morning walks and bedroom talks

  • NICE SONG INDEED

  • You'll Never replace this, it was a wonderful piece of music, just like everything he did !

  • like this comment if you RAPED the like button for this video!

  • Gone but not forgotten too soon!

  • i'm 14 years old and i truly appreciate music. all of my friends and people in my school listen to all that rap and dubstep shit. They do not know the true meaning of music. Jim Croce was a fantastic artist, his lyrics are so deep and meaningful. I'm so glad that my dad introduced me to him. One of my favorite artists.

  • @Ethantheonly77 Its great to see a new generation of people that can appreciate this music. He was and is a fantastic singer/songwriter. Keep the faith, and love ALL kinds of music. But this is where the heart is.

  • @Ethantheonly77

    You stick to your tastes and don't listen to the kids at school.Continue listening to your Dad.I'm 53 and it warmed my heart to read your comment.If you like this,check out Gordon Lightfoot.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Mike

  • @mb26155 God blessed me to be born in 63 when music was still music and hollywood wasn't polliwood yet. I know what you are saying.

  • @Ethantheonly77 good for you...music is just not the same as it was back during this time...

  • long live the memory of jim croce. timeless music.

    i use this song for most of family videos

  • there is a time and a place to put the emotions of a song. This song, over 40 years old spans both. Hopes, Dreams, Heart emotions Shattered in just 2 minutes. Truly one of the most Powerful songs, and only 2 minutes long.

  • i was introduced to this great singer by my college friends in the university way back in mid 80s and since then i was hooked to his songs many of them are classified classics and are still played in the airwaves to this day.

  • this songs full of memories great artist..

  • Thanx Jim Croce! One of my favorites!

  • I think of my Oldest Brother Charlie, who has passed, every time I hear a Jim Croce song, He Looked and acted just like Him, and He also was a Man amongst Men, they do not make strong backboned Men like this anymore, how different would the world be today, if all the old schoolers who passed away, were still influencing us?

  • I miss all the great ballard artists, they had great thoughts to share, stuff that really mattered, important in the big picture.

  • Hermosoooo!! Lloraré...

  • Oh for the days of Jim Croce,Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver,the singer ,songwriters.

  • @raaron44

    I agree, the great thinkers, had something important to say / what really matters.

  • @raaron44 Boy, is that the truth! 

  • @raaron44 Gordon Lightfoot is a Bard from another time. Thank you for mentioning him!

  • Pure genius!

  • WHAT AN AMAZING TALENT ! MEMORIES NEVER FORGOTTEN BY ME.

  • I remember the afternoon helicopters.

  • He suffered doing lousy jobs, Hustlingall his life and just when he made it ... People had finally started LISTENING to his music, played it on airwaves, He became a celebrity....he dies in a plane crush that same year.What a Life we live! RIP jim croce.i didnt knw u then and i wasnt born your time but yo story is inspiring.

  • who are the asshats that dislike this

  • luv d's song..especially his voice,PERFECT!!!

  • This is music that will continue to transcend generations to come. Man Jim, I know there's not a chance that a young guy like me would've had the pleasure of hearing you live, or even on the radio, but I'm genuinely happy I came across your music. It's touching, it's real, and beautiful. Each and every song you've ever made has a sense of story behind it, a scenic view for every one. It's a shame you were cut down in your prime...

    But we sure had a good time when you started way back when...

  • @CaptainShroomguy mr croce sure had it all eh ............ do u like gordon lightfoot i bet u will check him out kinda the same stuff

  • @CaptainShroomguy Well said mate, spot on.

  • @CaptainShroomguy Great comment. You hit every chord that so many of us believe. His music transcends and touches the soul no matter what your favorite genre of music. HIs lyrics are beautiful. His songs almost had an eerie foretelling of his future. It's always been bittersweet music.

  • my grandma always sings this with my mom when she was young.

  • what an amazing artist, most people have forgotten what true music is...his music and words are timeless.

  • his music really stood the test of time.have to play his songs at least twice in a row

  • Beautiful Song.....

  • My mom brought me up listening to Jim Croce, now I still get the record player out to share his beautiful music, the same way I experienced it, with my own children.

  • One of the Best Singer Song wrighters too have lived!!

  • they dont make songs like this anymore.i realy love the 70's.thanks for sharing.

  • Just wish he could be here again with Maury..writing and singing these beautifully written chord progression masterpieces. and telling us more of lifes stories that were so much a part of his music. What people consider talent today..they should sit back listen and consider the works that Jim and Maury did togetther. And even that which Jim did with his wife Ingrid. This is talent at its very,very top! Miss them..words cannot convey how much.

  • Of all the storytellers, Jim Croce and Cat Stevens were the best, very introspective and touching.

  • @froff69 The 70s were the golden age of the singer songwriters. We didn't realize at the time that we were witnessing an era that would soon pass much too quickly. Some of the most beautiful contemporary music came out of the 60s and 70s.

  • @bandibreath great comment 

  • a good kind of hurt...makes me miss my dad

  • Hard to say if this is his best song... The entire "Photo and memories" album is perfect..

  • very nice song..even hitler would cry on this one..

  • i am 18 but i was inspired by my father, beatles, jim croce, dan hills, everly brothers brothers four , andy william ..... when i am sad, once i hear there song , all of my sorrow will ease away :)

  • this song is perfect jim had a gift

  • I have known the Croce genius since 1972. No other comes near him. Look around at the crap that is heard today its unbelievable what they call talent now days. This guy was real earthy talent. And sadly gone to quickly

  • I weep.

    It feels good to hurt that way.

  • I'm a hardcore metalhead, yet Jim Croce's still one of my favorites. Great man, he was. Truly a fantastic artist.

  • @joroq2 Dang me too!! But still he one of my favorites too.

  • @BLEACH4306 Hell yeah, bro. I guess we all need a slight break pedal to our live hard life style.

  • @joroq2 yes a great man. how many in our world today can go out saying that?

  • @johnjoyko1 Not many. Nowadays, the majority of Celebrities are total dicks and morons.

  • Nothing I can say, but a Greatest song

  • But We sure had a good time when we started way back when, Morning walks and bedroom talks are how I loved you then...This song is so beautiful

  • The song needs another verse....

  • It's those ABC Dunhill string lines. So reminiscent of the 70s. How I miss those days.....

  • loved Jim since "bad bad leroy brown", This is always a tear jerker,works every time,,,

  • i love all the songs of jim croce...he's so amasing singer....all his songs never fades...

  • This song always reminds me of my one true Love. Connie ,It's just the best.

  • mach1franco. lol you got old like the rest of us!!!!!

  • I look at old pictures, old friends, girlfriends. where did that time go? seemed like yesterday we were for forever, now nothing but a few pictures, and letters are left. I still feel your words hitting my heart. seems like yesterday, not years ago. Where did the time go?

  • He's probably had ten number one's in Heaven,by now.
