[dina77777777]

what happen to the pure true love that once was alive your music is pure forever thank you come back soon love cheryl

[ridrime64]

Wouldn't it be great if she chose to do a comeback album? I know she is in her early 60's now and may not want to tour (she doesn't look it). Just a thought.

[flevine1]

I love this song ... it goes out to the one that will always hold my heart.......I will always love you....

[scoot55100]

Makes me think of my son. We have had him 35 years. He is a special needs child. I have been hanging on for years thinking things might change. But it never does. I've never heard him say I love you dad, but I know he does. Barbara Mandrell does such a great performance on this video. I can watch it and be sad as long as I want. I think it helps to get some of the sadness out.

[1963Austria]

This is a beuatiful song...one of Barbara's best.......

[Corrigan61]

Magnificent Beautiful Song~!~!~!~

[hillsofwi]

Great posting - thanks!  What a great performer. She really put herself into the song with great passion. Gotta respect that.

[mainer48]

come on back Barbara! we love and miss you and your singing

[Daggr1969]

I went to that taping. Seemed like it was yesterday!

[theking24ize]

one of my very favorites

[sandrajww]

thank you so much rockinernie...yes, this could apply to sooo many I have lost in my life, mom and dad, sister, best friend, my stepson......no it never goes away, when my dad died 30 years ago people said time will ease the pain...I'm still waiting.....take care

I can't seem to post this......hope it works now....

[sandrajww]

thank you so much rockinernie...yes, this could apply to sooo many I have lost in my life, mom and dad, sister, best friend, my stepson......no it never goes away, when my dad died 30 years ago people said time will ease the pain...I'm still waiting.....take care

[sandrajww]

my brother wrote out the lyrics to this song after the love of his life passed away, loosing her battle with cancer...they were high school sweethearts.....when he showed it to me I cried so hard...and still do.......he still misses her terribly she passed in 2001

[rockinernie]

@sandrajww That is so beautiful and sad, all in one. I feel the same way about my grandson. Guess we all miss someone very close. The pain never goes away. My best to your brother.

[ArmyWong]

This song always makes me cry. I also miss someone and wish he would come back to me. Really hurts to see one of your friends very happy with him.

[darmarmar]

After all these years, Barbara's music still resonates as beautiful and true. She put in her time and paid her dues to achieve country star status. She is not only a great vocalist, but a talented musician. It is so different now, where newcomers are handed a recording contract without talent to back it up. I miss you, Barbara; too bad you retired and left the music scene, but you deserve your own time after entertaining us for decades. Thank you.

[andymission]

MOTHER CREATOR

~~ Love You Mandrell~~

[pinetoper2]

This is one of my all time favorites .. a wonderful voice and and multi-talented women ..

[cmlbob]

What a talent and what a beautiful song.  The likes of Barbara come along once in a generation. In Country Music, there are those few who truly leave a mark. She's one of them. The music just doesn't seem the same without her out there on stage now. I, for one, miss ladies like her in the business.

[justmusicandme]

Pretty song, and Barbar Mandrell's performance is great - a true professional as always! Nice harmony, too.

[nybaseball1fan]

A Great Lady and Voice. And Plus Great Looking TOO

[chevellejack]

I'm 44 now. When I was about 16, I thought she was the best looking woman in the world. After looking at this I can still see why I thought that. It wasn't just young infatuation, she really was/is a fox.

[countrypop56]

One of her best.

[BJane58]

One of the most beautiful songs ever--a heartbreaker but so true for so many.

Beautiful voice--she plays so many instruments--truly talented lady.

[jekiwe]

she sure puts her soul into this......great, but a very sad song....super arrangement

[dwoodin1]

I like the song years it really got to my heart. I always like Barbara Mandrell since i was 15 years old. She is one beautiful lady and has a strong voice.

[stashnut73]

@dwoodin1 She is the best, country isnt country anymore, sorry Taylor Shit or whatever your name is. This song always makes me think of my late mom, I miss her after all these years. Yes she is a beautiful lady. Best regards to you had to respond to your great comment

[dwoodin1]

@stashnut73 , She is the best i agree. What imeant when i said it gets to my heart, it makes me think also, imiss my mother too and it makes me cry also.

[stashnut73]

@dwoodin1 I thankyou for your heartfelt honast reply. Speaks well of true country music. tugs art our heartstrings. I didnt say in my first post but this song brings tears to me also over my late mom. Best regards and peace to you

[frilb]

Thanks for the video. Babs is a great performer and what a voice. She also plays a wide variety of instruments as she demonstrated one night on her 80's show, along with sister Louise. A very talented person.

[chicagowarrior4u]

@frilb mrs mendrell is one of the best female country vocalist i did security for her conert in chicago popular creek we laugh such a sweet herat love her fans

[chicagowarrior4u]

@frilb mrs mendrell is one of the best female country vocalist i did security for her conert in chicago popular creek we laugh such a sweet herat love her fans i ask her where she got her cloth from she replyed the wennie the pooh department the day she gave the concert she gave my son a kiss and called him on stage i still love her and hewr music even if she no longer performs ppublicly

[tinyteddybird]

@allen0955 hey do you wanna help me with a write in campaign to ABC to get Barbara and Louise on Dancing with the stars? You can go to ABC website and use the Contact us and tell them to have Barb & Louise on the show. Thank you. Love the Mandrells, always!!

[didyaknowit]

lov her hair wish that style would come back. but it would be better if this style of music would come back

[ebfan41]

This is my favorite song sung by Barbara Mandrell. She sings it so beautifully, the words have so much meaning. Thank you for posting this classic song. 5*****

[kitamuragen]

I love this song!

[weezero420]

I just wish could have done more. That accident hurt her so much.

[vsandsbury01]

This song literally makes me cry!!!

Memories!!!

[Tsenio]

she's dead?

[MrsIZtmb327]

Can somebody put on here Barbara's song " She's out there dancing alone". That is the saddest song ever.

[coolram52]

It's gotta be the saddest heartbreak song of all time. Linda Ronstadt's "Long, Long Time" is close, but that's about unrequited love; this one is about lost love, which is a lot tougher, I think. Side note: Boy, she sure was gorgeous! Those eyes!

[InaudibleSnow]

"Music is an outburst of the soul." -Frederick Deluis - A very dear person sent me this song the other day - I knew he loved me then, I know he loves me now...

[superstarsky9]

I love this song, so beautiful, but I wouldn't keep the hall light on for him.

[vduron1]

Very classic. I wish singers today had this quality. I wish country was still country.

[dougcrispable]

agreed!!!!

[stashnut73]

when country wasnt cool, no pun intended

[ErichH68]

This is a wonderful song. One of my favorites and I always loved hearing Barbara sing it. She had a unique and distinguished singing voice unlike the young women of today who all sound alike. As for the smoking I didn't know she smoked for the longest time. And yes it is bad for your voice but you wouldn't know it from her voice that she smoked. Please don't that's the least of it's effects upon your body. Thanks for posting.

[chicagowarrior4u]

@ErichH68 hello chicagowarrior i met this beautiful women in chicago when working as a security guard,and became friends so gentle and playful beautiful song

[tufftimesahead]

@ErichH68 I met Barbara years ago at a Country Music DJ convention in Nashville. She looked like some kind of angel (I had to check her back for wings). I was so shocked to see her light up a cigarette. Funny how you can have it all and then try to kill it one pack at a time. She's still beautiful though and so sweet she melts in the rain.

[Mopar21277]

Absolutely stunning performance by the very lovely Miss Mandrell

[wildcowgirl77]

I am looking for a song on Lovers Friends and Strangers-How long does it take and Let my man go Jesus even though he died feb.17,1989 I still love him.

[WilliamPierce38]

I think we have all lived this song. I know I have

[trans305sb]

This is the most beautiful song ever! I listen to it weekly it reminds meof a love that i know will never die . As we all know true love never dies it only gets stronger!

[Sophia108]

Its been two years since he passed in Iraq. This song says it all for me. Miss you so much Daniel!

[blacktuxcat]

Miss Barbara is such a beauty, and her voice is always strong and true. What a talent!

[mrbronte100]

Her voice would have been much better if she had given up smoking.

[chicagowarrior4u]

@blacktuxcat miss mendrell is truly a tanlented women i have met her and did security work for her concert and became friends i am one of the president of her fan fair ,on coming up this june

[DearestBecky]

Great song. I always liked Barbara Mandrell.

[tomvband]

I always like Barbara Mandrell,......used to watch them on television, saw them at the county fair one time. Although, I like the one that plays the violin better.....hahahahaha......at least back then.

[lexky0521]

My favorite song by Barbara...it now has more meaning to me...Kirk Cappello ( Barbara's Music Director/Keyboards and later Reba's Music Director/keyboards) was a good friend of mine and some of the words are now touching to me!!!

[Cliffbrock]

Wonderful song, video and message. 5 stars --:)Rod

[jekiwe]

I just finished reading your comments regaerding your collie and can relate very well. I've had to put down five of God's creatures over the years and never thought how this song certainly does apply. If you can't love an animal and ghet emotionally tied with them, then you don't bleed and have no feelings. But only a dog lover would understand. Thanks!

[scalliwagrx8]

whoever wrote this song knew what hurting, loneliness, and love was all about. It took an awful lot of all three to have penned it.

her beautiful voice really did this song justice.

thanks for posting this vid

[haplesssometimes]

A dead dog? You must be kidding. Who cares about dead pets? Can you possibly so shallow that you cry you poor little eyes out because of a dog?

[53497678]

I don't know you I don't want to throw a cheep shots at you but obviously you don't understand . How would you feel if you lost a best friend? I lost a best friend.

[stashnut73]

I wouldnt even dignify the cruel remark with a response. I think most in here feel your pain and can relate. My dog "darlin" is my best friend also. And I still miss my past buddies "stash" "peanut" and "conway" all special to me.

[jekiwe]

and i feel sorry for you haplesstimes...i'd hate to have you as one of my family members.

[stashnut73]

I agree I still grieve over my lost pets also

[DERedhead65]

MY VERY FAVORITE Barbara Mandrell song ever! BEAUTIFUL, like her, "after all this time"... makes me think of me and my ex hubby and my ex fiance... tears.

[sweetthing77203]

Sounds like you and I have been down the same road. beautiful song, full of memories! 5*

[DERedhead65]

yeah I guess we have sweet, sorry for your luck to but I guess "Live and Learn" so they say... BE HAPPY...

[skilski2003]

Oh god, my husband and I are splitting up...after 37 years. I'm dying inside. We've tried for years to "fix" things and they're just not "fixable". He will always be a part of my soul, no matter what. I'm so beyond sad. know we love each other, but can't live together. I'm the one leaving our home, because he won't. I have to leave so much behind. I don't know if I'll ever get over this. Just too much pain.

[53497678]

I feel so sorry for you after all this years you would think that you made it. but it happens. wish you all the best and your husband hopefully you can remain friends. breaking up is hard to do. Boy now I sound like a song good luck :(

[rodobondo]

Wayne Newton also did this and it was awesome but you tube pulled it. Dont know why. Does anybody have it.

[makthnife]

its up again...just search it. Think WN did it first but I wanna say Tammy Wynette did it as well...someone have more info? But BM's version here is stellar!

[hermione838]

where can I download this to mp3? It is just so romantically sad and yet beautiful......

[joepilot48]

Download the video into RealPlayer. There is a conversion function that will allow you to do just the audio into an MP3.

JoePilot

[lexky0521]

One of Barbaras most beautiful songs!! What a great band she had The Do-Rites!!!

[manny5442]

I have to agree with JoePilot...she IS drop dead GORGEOUS....and a voice to go with it...where are the Ladies in Country music like her? I haven't seen any lately. My FAVORITE song by Barbara...grab my guitar and play along.

[bullzi1466]

amen brother.have you seen her little sis,louise?look her up on here singing "save me".it's only a pic of her and the song playing but she is also awesome.

[joepilot48]

Agree!! Must run in the genes. Just wish there were more like them!

[joepilot48]

With few exceptions, there are no "Ladies" in country music any more. Only skanks, easy marks, come ons, etc. It is a form of prostitution. If you don't have tallent, if you don't have creative material, if you don't have musicians that can actually play instruments, if you don't have a voice that can actually sing, then you have to sell sex. It's marketing that SELLS, but it doesn't really mean anything. Just another ad-man's idea of making money. Our country music as an art form is gone.

[joepilot48]

This has to be Barbara at her absolute best drop dead gorgeous. What we miss today is this kind of quality! Nothing phoney about this beautiful lady.

[53497678]

I couldn't say it better myself

[saltbiz]

Fantastic voice and very touching words.

[troyboyinheaven]

I love this song ..

[celinne700]

I am not a country music fan but this is a great song. It is about real feeling, honest feelings not plastic pretenses. Just crying a little here....a little sad.

[DERedhead65]

What a Beautiful song and such a Beautiful Lady Barbara STILL is "after all these years"... this still makes me cry to this day, makes me think of my ex husband and I... great Good ole' Country song, a heartbreaker...

[Mopar21277]

What an incredible performance by Miss Mandrell; it sounds like its a studio performance, not a live performance!

[jcbinabq505]

Could be, but I doubt it. If you've ever seen her live, she's a powerful performer. Glad I got to see her in concert on several occasions during the 80's and 90's.

[tjronry1]

To wetdog777: You have my sympathy, I know how it is to lose a faithful pet, family member or friend. I put flowers on my good friends grave yesterday and am still crying. It's hard to lose any loved one.

[Lawliet1369]

this song is my life

[adelaide1st]

Brought back many memories

[cnrdcthy]

i just love this song alot by barbara mandrell tammie

[wetdog777]

I came home tonight to find my 15 1/2 year old Golden Retriever had passed away. I watched this video five times, and cried like a baby.

With that said, how can I possibly thank you for posting it? You have no idea what this song meant to me at this very moment.

[53497678]

I'm writing to you with tears in my eyes. My dog also died she got sick and 3 days later she was dead. I fell asleep on a couch and 2 hours later I jumped up for no reason just to find her by my feet she had hard time gettingt up and yet she made it somehow to come to me. People that don't like animals will never know what it is like to have the most faithful companion. I buried her in my backyard and made a garden just for her. It was the only home she ever knew. She was 11.

[perfectstar14]

I so agree with you. My animals mean everything to me. I have lost too many, I loved them all but I think that my Collie was my favorite. When he was about to die, I remember I was climbing in the kennel with him at the vet's office. I just about couldn't stand it. I will miss that dog forever. They all just love you so much. I think if a person doesn't love animals, there is something wrong with them.

[53497678]

I hear you my friend I did the same thing

[mrssbarbara]

I love her and this song!

[eulangels]

Still after all these years...TLC...

[shannyn147]

the most beatifull song i ever heard.tami gushul hamilton ontario

[Osmondheaven]

I loved this song then, and still love it now. Thanks for posting!

[GloveGirl]

very touching song that makes you think about how fast time goes

[Billy44472]

I can't say how many old country songs like this one I have identified with concerning my lost marriage, in which I found it too late too mend upon separation and my wife's return to her former husband (didnt find out about until close to the divorce date). However, 3 days into the separation already spilling my guts out to her on the cell thinking it was at her mothers home. Nevertheless, we have a beautiful daughter together, which I have dedicated all my days off to seeing (I love her so).

[countryfn1]

sorry to hear the hurt in your message! Ive been hurt may times! Hearing these country songs help the hurt, but the pain never goes away completely! Thank the lord for these artist and songs.. sincerely a Barbara Mandrell Fan

[mAriMDaNa]

Love it! Been looking for it everywhere. Thank you for posting!

[explicit180]

Thank you Allen0955 for this song!

This is one of my favorite songs. So sentimental!

[countalljoy]

This song reminds me of my brother. We were very young when our Mom seperated us and for the longest time all I had of him was a few pictures. The first time I heard this song I bawled for what seemed like hours. It took me nearly 15 "years" to find him and even though we are a 5 hour drive from each other we will always remain in contact. Thank-you to the songwriters, to Barbara and to the person who posted this video. If you are looking for a loved one, follow your heart even if it takes years

[slyfox470]

I saw Randy Owen do this song live and he sort of dedicated it to his mother in memory of his father who has passed away. Boy, was it a tear jerker. Does anyone have that version?

[johnstar35]

Oh how I love this song. It can be applied to many a love lossed...lover, family, etc...such a classic!!
