@buffyslayer30 I meant this with all that I have this is the truth not a lie.

too much audio compression. the volume is pumping whenever the bass drums kick in.

[GwenBeauregard]

Just heard this song connected to someone who collects Teddy Bears and

did a sweet video of her bears to this song and posted it to YouTube.

I wanted to hear the lyrics, so went looking and found them and Ms. Fairchild.

Now, reading all the comments, it seems she was quite the Lady. Lovely

voice, tender heart, I'm sorry to read that she died. Condolences to her

family. I'm positive Ms. Fairchild is much missed. Thank you for the song.

My mother used to sing this to me, I never knew what it meant until I was grown, but everytime I'm feeling low I listen to this song, I don't know why, but it always makes me feel better!

[neighborhoodnobody]

I wish I was a Teddy BEEEEEAAAAARRRRR...and

I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you!

[nanajanamike]

Many of these great country songs in the 70s were so good that they crossed over on the pop charts,and that's where many younger listeners heard them first!

[hotburrito1]

She pulled my grandfather up on stage in Branson and he had to sing this song with her on stage. Every time I hear this song, I think about Papaw. It was a sad day when he died as everybody that knew him really loved him.

[livingadream2]

At least this song brings back the great memories you have of him! Thanks for listening!

[LLuE88]

@hotburrito1,

She selected me out of the audience in the seats to give a hug to, I have no earthly idea why, maybe the tenderness I have always felt for her some how showed. In a few years previous she lived about three blocks from us about 2 years into my marriage with my wife, she used to sing in local worship services.  Some of the same other ladies of country would come into town also., Lovely lady, also in song, thank you for adding your comments,

regards

I just LOVE this Song. I first heard it way back in 1974 when I was sixteen years of age and had my first car. Whenever I hear it my mind and my heart go right back to those happy days.Isn't Barbara Fairchild a Sweetheart? There's only one word that describes this Song - "Fluffy!"

[livingadream2]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories! Here's a song for you to do! (hint, hint)

[spadinajack]

livingadream2 hon, maybe i'm not to with it today, but I don't get your hint. What Song would you like me to perform? Are you the Brooks woman who was fortunate enough to record a CD?

[livingadream2]

Usually when someone "loves" a song and it sticks with them, they usually sing it...the hint was maybe you should post a video of you doing it. Sorry, I am not Darlene Brooks, she's a friend that I thought I would post to let others hear her music.I just think it is so nice that there are so many talented people out there that are sharing their talents with us on YouTube!

[judymybaby]

[livingadream2]

Your welcome! I heard this song many years ago and it just stays with me, wonderful song!

Thanks for the comment!
