[blueskypoems]

What an amazing song and musical inspiration. I love Bread!

[sanniebea]

so beautiful

[samoyedfan]

They don't make songs like this nowadays because there is no one with the talent to write songs like this anymore. David Gates is up there with the McCartney's and Lennon's of this world.

[optionout]

@samoyedfan - They dont write songs like this because people lack the courage to bear thier souls and become vulnerable like this.Last one I can remember was Boys to men "End of The Road".

[MsHeathersweather]

The original and the best, sorry telly..

[ponemusica]

Hermosa.



[CATMANDU77]

Beautiful pure poetic and musical genuis. They don't make songs like that these days!

Best Wishes,

Tony

[MissEmocupcakes]

my band used to play this in my old school. i moved mid-year (i love and miss u SEMS). go eagles!  :/

[retronut55]

Thank You for posting one of the most beautiful songs with such nice images! Blessings.

[21jenniferj]

Sad love song but beautiful at the same time. It makes me think that maybe love true love exsists in some form.

[70sGrOOVeTuBE]

@21jenniferj awwwwwww :)

[connorj777]

This song is maybe different from the others for me...This is how I feel about my daughter, who is so very special to me, and when I am down, or if she is down....This song is how I feel about my sweet baby girl..even though she is 29 yrs old...lol

[5urrealk1ller]

Thank you for the post.

[Brianna9817]

awww

[curulz]

I recently lost my husband of 35 years...this was and still is our song. I love him and miss him dearly.

[pbmonty32]

after my father committed suicide on my way to his wake this song was playing on the radio, I will never forget it. :-(

[MegKelso1]

This is the only song that was written on my bedroom wall. I wish I would have thought of something better to do with my time than cry as I added this tidbit to my 70's bedroom walls which were covered with graffiti appropriate for a girl of my time...I color coordinated it by painting hot pink bubble letters spelling Love and Peace. Oh, and little flowers that my friends painted on each visit with my nail polish, I had 134 bottles of the stuff. Rumors persist regarding a Donny Osmond poster.

[kayescott23]

thank you,beautiful music and words

[CONMCD13]

LOVE IT!



[miklitov23]

this song is so good but it's kind of depressing it makes me feel like I've lost a loved one and I'm trying to get over it by listening to this song, it gives me a feel of nostalgia. So to wash it off since I wanted to be happy i listened "You make my dreams come true" Went from solemn to happy in like 2 seconds.

[aw36]

Thank u so much for posting this! I love it!:)

[retsiembrU1]

( 1971) when i was 7 i could suddenly understand English cause of this song, if i understand every line, its strange, cause i am Dutch :)

[64kismet]

Carol loved it:)

[bigtexas128]

I've waited 45 years to find a woman I can share eternity with...

[kansastour]

@bigtexas128 I've waited just as long, and Lord willing I just may have found her. She's asked me if I could sing to her on her upcoming birthday, I am going to try to sing this song to her. Trouble is, I start breaking up just practicing, I don't know if I could get myself together to sing such an emotional, moving song to her.

Keep the faith my man, the Lord gave you that desire for a reason, He won't let you down. Just do your part and keep the faith..

[sweetiestuffles]

this is the only love song that reminds me of my love. it brings up so many memories<3

[cagalli8trinity]

whenever I couldn't sleep, this song calms me down, and I'll slip into a beautiful slumber..my favourite lullaby!!

[padma5044]

[jerrodsdad]

Another timeless song from my teen years.

[laf1024]

This song will always hold a special memory for me; this song was playing on the radio when i first laid eyes on the girl who became my first real love. Now i always think of her when i hear this song, so this will always be my dedication to you Theresa.

[truthaintpretty]

My wife and I celebrated 10 years together in June. This was always one of our songs and it holds more meaning today than ever. The video is so well done, too, especially the last shot...it really complements the song. Great job, ROMMEL.

[mascot426]

I'll sing this song on my brothers wedding, this spring. The song means so much to me... And I hope my brother and his lovely fiancee will love it too.

[MrBaseballAnnouncer]

I was Navy Medic during the Viet Nam era when this was playing. It got me thru that time.

[azafool]

@MrBaseballAnnouncer at NOMMM.

[johnbubbanewsdude]

@MrBaseballAnnouncer My brother was a Navy corpsman aboard the USS Santa Barbara. He left home in January 73 for the USN. I remember him playing Bread's 'Diary" a lot before he left. Bread, Arlo Guthrie and Dr. Hook alwasy take me back to that time.

[1bountifulinc]

@MrBaseballAnnouncer So cool...God bless you.

[spacepatrolman]

@MrBaseballAnnouncer they are using that water dripping guitar sound which is tremeloe with wah wah pedal the Move used that on the last thing on my mind

[pantarrotti]

Please translation this music for the Holand languge.

[andyt1313]

@pantarrotti Als een foto zegt meer dan duizend woorden,

Waarom kan ik niet schilderen je?

De woorden zullen nooit tonen u ik heb leren kennen.

Als er een gezicht zou kunnen lanceren duizend schepen,

Dan waar ben ik gaan?

Er is niemand thuis, maar u,

Jij bent alles wat over is ook van mij.

En als mijn liefde voor het leven is drooglopen,

Je komt en giet jezelf op mij.

[yappys1966]
