[lips2324]

Keith died bcuz of lorrie morgan. He needed her cuz he was sick and she didnt go and he ended up dead. It was do to acl. Poisoning but if she would have went maybe he would still be here.

[emma8796]

@lips2324 dont make speculations, its not her fault he died, if you read the bio about him it tells you that she tried to save him, it says that she hid all the liquor in the house and chained him to the bed so he wouldnt drink her nail polish remover in the middle of the night,and if you think about it he could of died from a number of things, it also says that when he was eighteen he got into a car acciedent and could of died then and we wouldnt know his music, dont assume k thanks!

[a1b248]

I miss you  Kevin.

[SongsKesha]

Mcdill not Mcdrill



[frostedflakesrayo]

[pennyscronce]

7 people kiss with their eyes open... lol

[briaisnotahedgehog]

Ever have a song that just hits you? The lyrics, the voice, the way it's sung in that version. Yeah.

[Hotrodluvmut1]

Why do the brightest stars always burn out so fast?

[alabamagirl49]

RIP KEITH

[ziggyuno1]

keith didnt kill himself, lorrie morgan was a bitch from hell, the man couldnt take anymore,

[CaliannG]

Chiefdawnofday, I am sorry, but you are mistaken. Mr. Whitley was an alcoholic, and had fought with his addiction since his early teens. He died of alcohol poisoning.

[lionjwd]

@CaliannG At one time, he was a member, of the now defunct. Sandy Hook, Kentucky Lions Club.,

[chriskeeling94]

i love this song, its a sad song but its great

[Chiefdawnofday]

If im not mistaken I believe Keith commited suicide. I wish he was stil hear. Cause im stil of yet 2 hear a voice like his. U will always b remembered Keith. We love and miss you.

[sar86194]

I wish i could get someone to listen to this and actually do it! " Let yesterday go and you will find more love than you have ever known" That's i i wanted to do was love him like he has never been loved before! <3 This is to you Matt!

[possum2u]

@skatahkickflip July 1, 1954 — May 9, 1989.......

[ElectricOutcast]

for those who don't know, Keith Whitley's son Jesse is pursuing a country music career himself if you guys can look up his music he's doing pretty good.

[Rebel21Rose]

@sweetbrowneyedlady i agree with you fully. ive had the same thing happen to me.. and its true.. you get to a point where you just give up and dont care anymore.. i see it all the time.. and its hard

[xxheavengoesrawrxx]

[Flippy779]

God Bless Keith Whitley, drinking yourself 2 death is 2 sad 2 explain.

[MegaKbsmith]

[ixvjuniorvxi]

@sweetbrowneyedlady i agree

[badstang]

Girl I loved for so long, we finally got the chance to be together, Things were awesome at first, then i started noticing things were becoming different, I knew something was up, but just like the song says" Maybe i've been a fool, holding on all this time"...we broke up, i left for good, far far away from the pain, and memories, Now im married, and she has been through hell in life, and this song reminds me of her and what she put me through!..it's a beautiful song!!

[fab5thgrade]

@badstang i know what you want though i had a giral fried and they only wonted1 thing it was sex

[fab5thgrade]

@fab5thgrade 

[57billy1]

@badstang sounds to me she made a bad mistake by letting you go.

[57billy1]

@badstang In a way that is kind of sad

[sweetns0ur621]

This was my mom and dad's song. RIP DAD

[IKristinaI]

[15justinmorton]

[Phungvanchien]

[annagreen55]

I think of my baybe, when I hear this song. He taught me how to love. ;) hahaha

[annagreen55]

Yup, I loved him, but it's probably too late...and yup I wanted it to be me ;)

[mehdihweb]

Heard today nice one

[sheisoff2011]

Have not heard this one in a while. It is some kind of good. :)

[mehdihweb]

Loved it

[hannahyorkharris]

beautiful song

[gatlingun15]

why do my parents have to put this on

[ATRAIN6976]

no one can sing kieth whitley's songs like he did every song he ever song came from his heart and he song them to lori morgan cause thats the one he loved

[Dship33]

Day one: favorite song.. Kieth whitley is one of my favorite artist i have alot of favorite songs but this is definitely in my top

[joRuth2011]

The only singer who could come close to Keith's quality on this song would be John Michael Montgomery. Keith was a good singer, a good man. He honored country music. We love him.

[Jkuon87]

awesome song! its so beutifull

[kaitlynanddestiny]

Don't like most country but I really like this song, especially the chorus. My dad can play part of this on guitar!!

[daley2]

Three people closed their eyes

[starducky72]

Heard his son Jesse do this song and it gave me shivers-sounds so much like his daddy. Jesse put his own version on it-but it held true to his dad's. All I can say is I can see Jesse becoming as great as his dad or his mom. This song was amazing when Keith did it and I think can be a hit again with Jesse sing it.

[jbub338]

@starducky72 my names jesse i feel good now

[starducky72]

@jbub338

LOL well I'm glad you feel good! sorry been so busy just now able to reply! Glad I could make u smile :)

[TheZoebean]

This is a awesome song its so sad but I love it like one of my favorite songs!!

[bobbieandjames]

three dislikes huh who are these people

[bkg4ever]

Keith Whitley was an amazing talent miss him, and I absolutely LOVE, this song!!!

[theultimatefight55]

R.I.P Keith Whitley-I was just a kid when this song came out but you had a beautiful voice and I love this song!

[sara31tx]

such a beautiful song

[DeFf4LiFe]

it rememinds me sadly of alot of my relationships it makes me cry every time i listen to it, and im a man :(

[MrAndrewsiii]

I believe he was an Alcoholic, not a drunk.

[kwcountry1980]

he was a drunk. but a hell of a singer. alcohol took his life at 35. imagen if he where still alive? he would be the next goerge jones

[lorylag]

This is by far one of the most beautiful songs ever

[wski4lisa]

i love this. We all have a past love that surfaces once in a while.

[Lucenda23]

LUV IT!!! =)

[romancatholicgirl14]

oh noo. i think the man i'll marry is gonna sing this to me cause i dont think i'll ever be over the first guy i really loved even if we never really got together.

[123kateboo]

my ex sang this to me often,,, he knew i still loved my man

[Jeanne034]

his life was cut way too short

[cherylnphil]

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE keith Whitley!

[BettyK1958]

Here I go again crying to this song as I am still angry over being used and toss away like a old shoe. I allowed him to walk all over me and I allowed him to use me and I really never thought anything of it because I was in love with him and trusted him and knew he was who he was and nothing or no one could change him so I excepted it. I was a fool but I made myself a promise I will never allow myself to date and I will not give someone the chance to USE ME. I will not do it again.

[decodebbie]

@BettyK1958 Don't you see that if you don't go back out in the world a give a good man a chance to find you then you are stilll letting your ex use you. Not finding happiness with someone else is the same as you letting your ex rule your life from now on while he goes on with his life having fun and perhaps finding love while you sit alone. If you end up alone it's your fault not his. Find the man God inetnded you to have and be happy.

[BettyK1958]

@decodebbie In have tried to date again and twice I was made a fool of and yet it was because I trusted them enough to allow myself a chance just a chance to be happy. He has no one as I saw him at a legion I go to for karaoke and he knows I go there but will leave if he sees me there.So sad he has to leave a public place because I am there. He has the right to be there like me even if he is looking for another victim. Women are smarter now.Knows a loser when they see one.

[2482Diana]

This song is so sad and so romantic all at the same time. I've always loved this song.

[Rae1978]

Keith Whitley... he was an awesome singer. His versions are the best...

[Diogo503]

@Rae1978 indeed

[LouisianaCowgirl2010]

@Rae1978 Tim McGraw sounds amazing singing this, too. I think he deserves credit for an incredible cover version, don't you?

[Diogo503]

@LouisianaCowgirl2010 Tim McGraw does have a great voice for this kind of music... I havent listen him singing this one trought... must check it out... thanks for the sugestion...

[LouisianaCowgirl2010]

@Diogo503 you're very welcome. Personally, I find his cover just as incredible as the original...

[mdgtrpckr]

@LouisianaCowgirl2010 Tim McGraw (A) is not even a country singer compared to Keith Whitley, and (B) never recorded this song.

[LouisianaCowgirl2010]

@mdgtrpckr well, that's your opinion. I find that Tim McGraw is amazing at doing this song, too. And no, he hasn't recorded it... yet, but there's a video on youtube of him singing it in concert

[phoenix1916]

@LouisianaCowgirl2010 Check out Logue and McCool and Irish duo, one is blind the other in a wheelchair, amazing too, sadly pat passed away a few months ago!

[kahlahutchcroft]

@LouisianaCowgirl2010 Chris Young did a really good job with this song as well but no one can match Keith.

[248nyleve]

@Rae1978 .......... i couldn't hide the tear in my eyes......... love this song, i could feel it.. at then moment i feel pain in my heart.. the only guy i used to love is committed to someone............

[thedonwesley]

@Rae1978 in my eyes im know im only 20 mexican full of tattoos and very intimadating! bit in my eyes im country to the bone! and this song is as original as the guy the wrote it!!!

[chapunto]

[sunshine63433]

I LOVE THIS SONG....

[laylanickraven]

My heart is with you Betty....one day he will feel your pain...prayers to you love hold the right one will come i been there...but was physically abused

[freyica]

this is exactly what I've been going trough with my ex boyfriend... I still love him, but can't live in someones shadow...

[BettyK1958]

Today is January 24-2010 and a little over 2 years ago I had my heart ripped from my chest a tossed away by a very selfish man. We were together over 6 years and I never saw the break-up coming,he waited to go to Alberta before he called and dump me. I met another man Friday pass who is a real nice man and I got him to sing this song at karaoke as this is how I feel. I cannot seem to get pass the breakup from the last a-hole. He is still inside my head and heart.

[lrtjourneyfan]

Let it go!. I myself spent more than five years thinking of the selfish man who left me and made it very hard for me to make a sound and healthy relationship with someone else. Dont spend your life wishing.  Live for the moment. I was 24. I am 40 and still heartbroken. Its harder for me now to find someone at my age. Live for the moment and find happiness before its too late.

[lrtjourneyfan]

I really wish, I would not let time pass by for so long I luv being in love but hate the hurt that comes after. Love. Is it true?

[tssm52]

this describes exactly what i'm going thru... i luv this song but now it makes me cry

[newfypearl]

Awesome song.
