[lovinlife6630]

One of my favorite country songs. This is the best version I have heard. Thank you for posting!

[transcendentaltrip]

to have one person in your life, ever, then you are a lucky, blessed soul...i was once so blessed

[Superniceone11]

Pretty pretty pretty

[Steinbach1984]

I still like the Lyle Lovett version best, but that isn't to say that I dislike this version!

[TheCheezhead15]

Listen Closely gentle one I love you

[The6stringslinger]

i had a woman like that and she was there for me always..i miss her..RIP Lori

[asha8413]

Thank you livingadream2 for posting this video! I came upon this one day and never heard this version but I fell in love with it! I know a lot of people would use this as their wedding song but I've thought about using this as my Father/Daughter dance at my wedding one day. My Dad is pretty much the best man I've ever known who's always been by my side and I'll never be able to thank him enough! Now if only I can find a man good enough as my father! :) Thanks again!

[cazna16]

This is one of my favourite songs, sung by two of my favourite singers. I love the words, they mean so much, yet they are so simple. Together with the melody~it is just beautiful.

[babacap2000]

[hawkflies93]

Whitedove I Still Love You!!!...Lonewolf.

[tswinburn1]

These voices were made for each other. Separately they are phenomenal. Together unbelievable. Music to sooth the savage beast.

TOWNES VAN ZANDT TOWNES VAN ZANDT, REMEMBER THE NAME

[kaysandesses]

@BRAZOZ Lyle Lovett recorded a great version of this as well.

[RDBeatnik]

No credit for Townes Van Zandt? I should give this a thumb down for that, but the song is so great, I won't.

[vivianlove21]

this is my parrents wedding song

[brad04970]

Thanks for up-loading this, I've been loving this song forever...

[youssy1000]

great song

[212729h]

I've never heard this song before . It is just fantasic . Emmylou is something else .

[stevesottl]

One of the classics. I'm surprised folks don't use this as their wedding song.

[kamo448]

This song brings back wonderful memories of the two wonderful people who have contributed tremendously to what I am today. Thank you so much to both of you Mama and Ntate K. I will never stop loving and respecting you both. I owe you two big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[kamo448]

Wayback in 1987, I was with my big sis visiting her boyfriend then, I first fell inlove with this song, I was around nine years by then. How I wish I could have been there for all of them before they broke up. They have two beautiful children, a girl of 24 years and a boy of 20. I'm so sorry about the divorce last year. It's haunting me everytime I think of them. A life so well lived but failed to compromise!!!!!!

[BlueCatUs31]

Aaaah, so beautiful and exactly what I am going through!

[solvibakken]

Beautiful song, great singing..love it..:)

[ThomasPinching]

Wow this is amazing. Thanks for uploading.

[MrMickey4]

emmy you will forever be a bueatiful woman immoralized in my soul

[whogoderetedigo52]

For me, there is nothing better than this. I've loved it ever since I first heard it. Williams and Harris are incomparable. Shame they didn't do more together. This is, possibly, my favorite piece of music. Thank you so much/

Moving I LOVE Emmylou

[DAVETHEDOGG]

Emmylou has a special place in my heart. My visits to Tuscaloosa , Alabama in 1981/2 etched the special sound of the South into my memory. Such a great duet from two classic singers. Dave Griff in Holyhead, North Wales

[DAVETHEDOGG]

Emmylou has a special place in my heart. My visits to Tuscaloosa , Alabama in 1981/2 etched the special sound of the South into my memory. Such a great duet from two classic singers.

[zatticuss]

That's a great song. I first heard it while watching the movie "Crazy Heart."

[AARPDude]

Amazing how two artists can blend a song into a mastepiece. Thank you Don and Emmylou. Special thanks to livingadream2 for posting.

[idgit2442]

BEAUTIFUL. And I can always use more beauty in my life. Thanks.

[bailinnumberguy]

The next duet that I hear from Emmylou that isn't great will also be the first one. She's without peer as a harmonizer.

[Lafoy82]

yes their beatiful harmony

[imusprince100]

I LOVE THE MUSIC, IT MAKES ME FEEL COOL.

[buckmtman2]

gives me cold chills

[Plevna47]

What a beautiful song that touches both the mind and heart. Thank you for posting this!

[redsfanstu]

WOW!!!!!! What a pleasant surprise! Just may possibly be the best recorded version of this classic from the mind of TVZ! I also really enjoyed the cool pix, just a really great job livingadeam2, by all means, thank you for sharing some great work by two living legends: Long live and God Bless E.L. Harris and Don Williams! And oh yeah, thanks as always to the mother ship: You Tube!

[paulmcs]

Don Williams...wasn't he a Pozo Seco singer back in the day?

[redsfanstu]

@paulmcs Not only yeah, BUT HELL YEAH!!!!!

[idgit2442]

@paulmcs ----yeah he was. Susan Taylor, the female of the trio is still performing too. She goes be Taylor Pie & you can catch her on youtube also. She, unlike Don, stuck closely to the folk roots. She writes & sings beautifully.

[john9944]

These two are the male and female equivalents of each other. That old Townes could really write couldn't he?

[meztool]

azul, merci pour le partage, je suis content d'avoir trouvé cette chanson sur ce site, elle m'envoie directement vers mon enfance, et vers la beauté des paysages de Kabylie.

[rmarrsr]

Another great one from Townes Van Zandt. And a wonderful rendition from Don and Emmylou!

[Bamaboompa]

I can't stand people who comment one version of a song is THE best and everyone sucks.

This is MY FAVORITE version of a great country song.

[yjinkim318]

I had been 1 year in harfar Albatin and 2 years in Riyard Saudi Arabia for 3 years from1981 to 1983. Always I enjoyed this song of Don Williams.His song is in me always and forever. Thank You Don Williams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trace6655]

Great song ! It sounds similar to Come Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)

[imdunwrkn]

Loving this song, and the two of them together are dyno-mite! Thanks for posting it.

[dwk49]

One of my favorite country tunes. I enjoyed playing it when I worked at WXRL in Lancaster, New York.

[davidvideo1000]

"a treasure for the poor to find" Townes Van Zandt

[velocetric]

Probably the best version of this song out there. Emmylou has the greates voice imaginable. My favorite female singer. And Don Williams is so unbelievably smooth.

[lonlypains]

thanks livingadream2...you dont know how much happiness you have brought to me with this song.i heard this song when i was 8yrs and now am 26..i wanted it soom much and thanks to you i have it now

[64cumo]

something else no words can explain

[obsjlc01]

This is one of Townes Van Zandts Greatest Songs.

[scholarobert]

For those that have missed sincere love this is just enough for you to get ignited. And for those who are still trying to finding good love, May the good God help you (Amen). Love has the best color when sincerely found.

[Kayboy2470]

This song is a classic. I used to listen to it on my dad's cassette player as a kid. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks @livingadream2 for posting :D

[epb50]

Thanks for posting, I truly love this song.

[heylormammy]

I adore this song, thank you for putting it here for us all to listen <3

[Animule51]

This is my all-time favorite country duet...bar none. The song really has a wonderful folksy quality that seems to be lost on a lot of today's country. This song reminds us of the fact that folk music is one its major forebears.

[Luclys]

awesome song so lovely....to u my darling husband cos ull always be beside me forever my hearts urs xxx...thx livingadream2

[msginalouable]

i love this song....grabeeeee

[MegaUgljesa]

lookin at campfire in the middle of nowhere

[geneobug]

A beautiful song & beautiful voices. My daughter has loved to listen to Don Williams along with us)since she was a little girl, about 2 years old & she is now 40. We saw Don Williams at a free concert once that our electric company put on.He sang non stop for about 2 1'2 hours or more, not even taking a break. He was great & so genuine. Emmylou is also very down to earth.I have seen her twice in concert,once in the early 70's & again in the 90's.Both times she wowed

the audience.

[whitehorserob]

This has to be one of the all time most beautiful duets. Thank you for posting it. It is like a nice glass of wine.

[TheNigelr]

American folk music continues its' fine tradition.

[knotwood1]

Mom and dad used to sing this to me as a child. Great song for a duet. Great harmonies. Beautiful. Brings back great memories. Thanks

[knotwood1]

Mom and dad used to sing this to me. Good times. Thanks.

[daveoman1]

This is the greatest. Great to a lesser extent, but still great--Lyle Lovett's cover.

[brotheromy]

Mes larmes coulent chaque fois que j'attend cette chanson ohhh my GOD....
