Helo Luis. How are u there in Portugal. Hope to meet you there someday. Please be my friend. Greetings from Indonesia

[CMLLIS]

@borneo1971 Hello borneo 1971, I'm fine thanks and I hope all is well with you too. Greetings from Portugal.

[MegaMatahati]

Remind me 'bout ajeng who leave me...

[LOLu812]

yes, i've been away too long but the love we have for each other kept me strong and helped me to go on.....thanx for sharing this heart wrenching song....

[CMLLIS]

@LOLu812 I so well understand everyone of you. Be sure that every comment has been taken as it was me who wrote it for I feel exactly the way you all do about this song. Thanks.

[pranusharam]

I love this song..Makes me cry each time I listen..

Especially when he sings, "Don't look that way to me

It's hurts you so I see "

[CMLLIS]

@pranusharam To me it's undoubtely one of the sadiest and most hurtful songs ever heard. Thanks for your comment.

[MNY57]

@CMLLIS I certainly can subscribe to that..it has proven to be the most influential song to my life. I wrote 4 months ago I fell in love to this song 35 yrs ago and that it still hurts. Then a miracle happened and I got my lost love back. The world is full of wonders.

[CMLLIS]

@MNY57 I'm so happy for you. Yes, miracles happen and the world is full of wonders, just like you said. Miracles and wonders are everywhere. All that it takes is you being able to see it with the eyes of the heart. Greetings from Portugal.

[MNY57]

@CMLLIS Thank you so much for your kind and wise words. Greetings from Finland.

[eternalhoney6]

HOW CAN I SAY TO YOU..

[ericborjal]

yeah..so beautiful song i like it...



[ericborjal]

yeah..so beautiful song i like it...

[darkmoon69ful]

aloha from hawaii...thanx for sharing this sad but beautiful song..it brought back some painful memories though..while on r&r trying to deal with the demons i brought back from the war, i met someone and had to go home to tell my wife...i beg your forgiveness babe...you've always been good to me..always..

[CMLLIS]

@darkmoon69ful I undestand the way you feel. It's life my friend. Sometimes we're not so powerful that we can change the course of things. If it is written in the book of your life that you have to experience some painful things in order to evolve and grow up spiritually as a better person, there is nothing you can do but bear it with patience and courage. Best regards from Portugal.

[darkmoon69ful]

@CMLLIS thanx for your comforting words and wisdom....take care and God bless....p.s. i think dear abby is looking for help lol....

[CMLLIS]

Obrigado pelos comentários e também pelas mensagens. Já tentei aceder à sua página mas o YouTube diz-me que a mesma não está disponível(???). Quanto ao GBaker foi sempre um dos meus favoritos desde os tempos de juventude e sempre será. Quanto às canções que refere vou tentar descobri-las no emule ou no limewire e depois logo se vê se faço um novo video ou não. Bom fim de semana. Um abraço. Luis

[california19581]

@CMLLIS I love the video!!!

I love the voice!!!

I love the singer!!!

One of the best singer ever .

BIG HUG FROM USA

[ThePeony8]

i love this song so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[louborja]

thank you @CMLLIS... i love this song ...

[yellowpincer]

Thanks CMLLIS for your comment, i just love Dutch artists from the 70s/80s, even today in holland, the ballad is still strong.

[CMLLIS]

You're welcome. I feel exactly the way you do. Those were the golden years of music. Nowadays all these modern and so "talented" artists do is but picking those hits of long ago, then reshape'em and remix'em, most times by stealing its soul and completely ruin it and they even have the nerve to call it their work. Disgusting, to say the least.

Big hug from Portugal.

Luis Ayres

[ranipoe1967]

@CMLLIS

your right...its good there's you tube to remember and still play these classic songs and original versions...

from me ranie of the philippines

[yellowpincer]

I wasn,t a fan of George Baker untill i bought an Lp from a second hand shop. It certainly changed my opinion of him.I now have 5 Lps and all are wonderful. This song is so sad but it,s a nice song.

[CMLLIS]

I so well understand your sayin' 'cos it did happen to me too. I found GBS once back in 83 when I was shopping in a mall and they had him singin' in the speakers "Little Green Bag". I had to know who that band was so I asked the manager. Next day I went to a shop to buy my first GBS Lp :). Thanks for the comment. Best regards.

[jun121768]

Well, as you can see the song belongs to George Baker Selection band (1969). George Baker is the stage name of Hans Bouwens (vocals, guitar, piano, block flute, organ, mandolin). He's the one who sings this song. Hugs. Luis Ayres.

One of beautiful and relex...

Good Job Mr.Baker..^^*

[diyahandasari]

i'm listening to this song and i said to a groups of frds who was w/ me"he c'mon u should listen to this!!

one by one the tried it and i saw the tears drooling

all over her face and....oops she pass out..

[msdawn84]

Hunnie, Looks like you've done such a wonderful job with this, you know how i love it as we are the same....but you've brought so much to so many others....your priceless and i love you.....

[llcastil]

first tiem i heard this song is on videoke bar.. and i like it very much!! i even tried to sing it immediately.. it reminds me of my highs school days...

[youngmoon19]

i really like dis song.... a song that i can only sing...

[YouMeMac]

oh my, love this song. really brings back memories, bad and good. we used to sing this song at the karaoke bar in the philippines. thanks for uploading. ^ ^

[masela71]

love this old song.i grew up in a small island in the south pacific and been away from my lovely home too long,it always remind me of my younger years.Thx for posting a beautiful song dedicated to my beautiful wife Fonofili for long 19yrs.

[luder22]

okay tanx....(',')...kiss...

[luder22]

yeah i really glad also coz its difficult to find this song specially since its too old....:)

[CMLLIS]

Yea, yer right. That an old melody indeed.. just like me :) That's why I posted it... because I'm old. Peace Love and Light to you

[luder22]

tanx for aploading diz coz everytime i listen diz song i olwiz remember my mom this is her fav....:)

[CMLLIS]

That's me who gotta thank you for takin' the time to watchin' it. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That's a sad melody which always hits me deeply maybe because of the memories it brings back. Hugs

[CMLLIS]

Our notion of time lays on the dictatorship of something created by mankind,I mean the calendar.Time is just an illusion.If you ever want,you can take a look at my Myspace page and see what I mean.I decided to pick Myspace once its range is worldwide so,I thought it could be a good tool to communicate.

Just look for "The Time Riders"

Luis

[diyahandasari]

Thxs to Luis for the upload of this my very fav songs....you did broght me to

my past life..Xoxo.

[CMLLIS]

It's funny that u mention past lives and time cos they are intimately related.Time,as we know it,doesn't exist.

[diyahandasari]

when i listened to this song its remaind me of my old days w/ all my frds but now all have gone coz i've been away too long between S.pore and Hongkong...

i miss these wonderful old days w/ them.

[CMLLIS]

Yea, I know what you mean. Those are wounds that hardly heal and I got some too. Time can't be bought back and there's nothin' we can do 'bout it. Thank you so much for watchin' it.

Hugs

Luis

[diyahandasari]

Thxs 4 ur reply..this song brought up all my old memories w/ frds and w/ those people i ever once loves them in my life.i wonder if they will ever
