He dedicated this song to his father who died in a car accident when randy was only 12 years of age i read this on a newspaper a few years ago, but of course randy wrote it when he was already an adult,this song peaked to number 4 on june of 1979. Randy vanwarmer died of leukemia on january 12 2004. We miss you randy....
I loved this song in the 70's 80's 90's and up till today. When i play it I play it for at least an hour, This guy had incredible talent. I w ish he had sung more ballads.He died to young . but he in my mind is not forgotten. Thank you so much for all his video's I play them all. BryanR
I Lost my son 31yrs ago. This song held so true to me when this happened to me. No one in my lifetime knew what I was going thru. Not knowing where or how to reach him and even if I could. They made it very difficult get in touch with him. Unless your child was kidnapped you really have no Idea how it felt. Today I found Him. Actually he found me. Thank God for Facebook and the Internet. No thanks to the courts and my Ex.
Hey I'm 41 and remember listening to this when I was very young. I lost my mother when I was 22, and just recently lost my dad. This song makes me cry, I feel they both left me and I needed them SOOOOO much. I'm not bitter, this is just a good song!!!
We played this tune in stage band back in 1979. I messed up continually on trumpet with this music. Good thing first first covered up for me. Great song!
This song makes me tear every time i hear it.. it reminds me of my mom who left to work overseas.. im not close to my brothers n dad n theyre always out of town... so im pretty much alone.. my friends have all married n had kids or busy with their career... i didnt stop my mom coz its what made her happy... but i remember thinkin pls don leave me.. shes the only one who has ever loved me unconditionally.. my bf doesnt.. he brings me nothing but down but all i can do is act happy.. like a clown..
Internationally recognized I was a lil kid back to Cuba when my older brothers used to hit american radio stations and this one was and still is one my forever favorites
Gotcha all beat. I'm 73, and recently heard Randy's song for the first time I can recall. I am a long-time Michael Franks fan and was researching the subject of his haunting number "Song Birds". Turns out it was Randy, and I instantly loved this song and understood Michael as well.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I'm 45 yrs old was dining at local Marie Calender's...this song came on and it made me cry of haoppiness to hear one of the most endearing songs of late 70's Thanks for posting this song. Music like this is what our millenium needs .
I'm a little over 60 years old. I loved this song when it was out, and it is till one of my all-time favorites, though sad. I'm so sorry he died at a young age-I hope this song last forever.....
A so-called "one-hit wonder", but one of the best, but saddest songs of all time. I first heard it around 1980, and 30 years later it is still one of my favorites-RIP Randy!
I always love this song it is so beautiful.

What saddens me is that today, an artist like Mr. Vanwarmer wouldn't make it in TODAY'S music industry. Pathetic, don't you think?

It's never easy when someone leaves you. It's a feeling that I never want to know again. I hope no one ever leaves me.
