It's a sad song in the subtext of the lyric. How to explain: Like bittersweet chocolate that's already been eaten. He had such soul when he sang. He had an instruement of love that transcends time and I know that he shall never be forgotten by those in the know:)
I love this video! A really beautiful song written and performed by a wonderful man. This is such a touching performance by the late great Peter Allen. Thank you for sharing this video. P.S. I also love reading comments from Mike, Paul and Bradly. Pam
Soulful & passionate performance of "Once Before I Go" an example of how Peter Allen could get inside a great song and turn it inside out...Bravo Peter, you are loved and missed!
Thank You for the video and it is truly Peter at his finest.
Even after so much time has passed he still touches my heart and reminds me of the night he came to my birthday party and sang my favorite song for me.
Peter wherever you are the men are hot and the gin is cold and the place is jumpping.
Just call me the one who still misses you everyday and never will forget you until I am no longer here.
When did this air on TV? Was it 1984? Great video! I love how Peter would look right at the camara-it felt like he was looking right into your eyes while singing.
@pajammypam This is the only appearance by Peter on The Tonight Show, except for his one shot when Joan Rivers was host. Peter appeared on the show as "The Allen Bros" with Carson in the mid 60's from NYC..but no video exists.
I never realized how many great songs he wrote. an amazing talent.
