I love this song and the way Ronnie did it! Go to my video " genopopcorn " and give a listen to my arrangement with Roland Synth guitar and vocal of this wonderful song! thx : ) geno
From the softness of the piano keys to Ronnie's soft voice, this is one of those songs that had just the right combination of sound and talent to be a classic.
Ronnie is one of the greatest country music singers of the 70's and 80's with over 40 number one hits. Ronnie you are one of the greatest of all time after all that you have been through. First of all when you were a kid your mother gave up on you because you were blind and you went on to be one of the greatest singers in country music history. I love you Ronnie and always will. You are such a tallent.
i was a little kid when this stuff came out, but i still love it so much. I really wish there were more artists singing this way today but i guess the good times are really over
George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today" may be the saddest country song, but Ronnie Milsap's "It Was Almost Like A Song" is the saddest song in country, pop, rock, and R&B. It's a dirty shame Ronnie Milsap is not in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and maybe even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because many of his songs crossed over from country to pop.
jarenlang slechts delen en korte fragmenten in mijn hoofd gehad wist geen zangersnaam of verdere titel totdat ik via google ging zoeken en nu heb ik mijn allermoooiste lievelingslied teruggevonden gedeeld met John Miles ;music;
@shemaedz , i meant , Best in the World to have ever sung his many songs for us, and play his guitar. fabulous,just loved this man for his songs and guitar
This is a beautiful song with lots of feeling. To hear this now still brings back very pleasant memories. Why can't they make music like this today? Ronnie I applaud you for such a beautiful love song!!!!
January through December we had such a perfect year...And the flame became a dying ember, all at once you weren't here...
Ahhh...one day in love counts for a year,and one year out of it counts for less than a second. So my years before you are but seconds,and my year with you is my whole life...
This song reminds me of my husband who passed away 31 years ago.He was a good father and would have been such a good grandfather!! It brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it because I think of what could have been.
I remember loving this song when I was a little girl....my Dad had the tape.....and we would listen to it every time we were in the car......mostly cause I would beg and plead to hear it! I remember one year I got a pair of earmuffs for Christmas....and I pretended they were my radio....and I would walk around singing this song....sounds dumb.....but when a song touches you like this one does.....it sticks with you. Now, 20 years later.....I love it even more since I can appreciate its meaning.
Ive seen Ronnie Milsap twice and he's a REAL singer/songwrighter...He sings from the heart and writes with his soul...THIS is music, not the crap out there now..THANK YOU Mr. Milsap for telling it the way it is.
I reconnected w/ my 1st love in August after not seeing her for 18 yrs. Things were great for a while, but something happened. This song describes our relationship perfectly. "Then the flames became a dying ember, and all at once, you weren't here..." I love you Karla...I always have and I always will. No matter who comes along, there will be a piece of me that they'll never have because it belongs to you. You stole my heart 20 yrs ago...and I know I'll never get it back...
The first time I heard this song my mother was in the hospital in a COMA, I thought she would pull through, but it didnt happen. I love you and miss you mom!!!
@dixiedad67 My Mother had this recording on a greatest hits album of Ronnie Milsap when I was a kid-got in like 1980, I was 6. I thought my Mother would make it out of the hospital, too. This song tears my heart out, rips that scab right off. Sorry about your Mother, God Bless You.
I think this is one of the greatest "unrecognized as that" songs ever written. All I can say is: Man what a song. Man what an arrangment, and man,--------what a singer. Sincerely, Marc Trainor.
not enough actual videos of Ronnie singing with his band. Wish someone would find them and post them. Oh well, I'll still listen to that perfect voice.
I think in some point in our lives we all get our heart broken. It might be by a first crush, or a divorce and in a divorce it seems like one wants to stay and the other wants to go. It's heartwrenching especially when children are involved. I know because I am there now. The loneliness I face each day and going to bed alone and waking alone. Sometimes it's more than I can bear.
Gripe and bitch all you want but this song makes you recall all of those days of wine and roses. We all have been there and a few have survived, a few not but it makes you recall all of those good times and the love we shared with others. We go on anyway!
Love this Ballad! That last note Ronnie sings is perfectly executed! It sends chills up my spine every single time I hear it! Truly a masterful musician! It's always very refreshing to listen to older artists like Ronnie and Perry Como and take a break from all of the pop artists of today. Being a relatively young man, I consider it a true gift from God to be able to listen to and appreciate songs like these. Call me old fashioned. In many ways I am. :D
This song has special meaning for me. It was the song that my 5 year old grand daughter would sing along with twenty years ago. The song and the moment bring tears to my eyes.
Although I am far from being young, I still remember, and still feel, the same things that I felt when I first heard this song. It reminds me of a young man named Jimmy Kilgore, my first love, I was only 15 and my parents wouldn't allow me to date. Although I have been deliriously happily married for 18 years, and have the best husband and greatest kids in the world, I still can't help but wonder, what if............ I will never hear this song without thinking of him.
I hope the person that i am thinking of when i hear this song, is full of regret for the hurt and pain that they caused, and will someday come to regret ending things ! But, just wishful thinking i know !
@tp3168 if anyone is not moved by this song they have no soul this song will turn even the toughest man inside out one of the greatest songs ever in any musical category thanks for the heartcheck Mr.Milsap
@TheLonndogg Been there done that. So sad, just when you think that the other person feels the same way you do you find out they don't. You feel like dying. You go to bed crying and wake up in a fog and the days seem to drag on. I hate that especially in the winter when it's cold out. I don't know what's wrong with our society we get married and the minute something doesn't work out we want a divorce. SAD!!!!
I'm same as cindyns1. I remember many things with song. I have same album in Japan. But, I couldn't find record player, it was disposed already when I backed in Japan last time. I love this lilics. Thank you
Tara Ludeking, I still think about what we had.... but lies and deceit have no place in a relationship. you had me wrapped around your finger..... I wish you well... you've said you wont be back.... so ... Im moving on... its been a long year without you but Im gone.... good luck.....
I can appreciate this song also. I still sing this song out loud to the one that I LOST (?). May be "lost", never forgotten. I, in my heart, will never LOVE anyone as I do my Melina Bradette Foss. Be strong and keep your head high !
I don't know what it is. My Daddy seemed to try so hard to be hated. Young as I was, it was easy to go along with this, but when he got cancer and was dieing months later, I realized his sham and tried to show him my love. I don't know if he ever realized it or not. But I did. He died in 1999. I miss him so much.
This is the first song that I ever heard from Ronnie Milsap and I have been hooked on him ever since the late 70's. What a talented artist! He is one of my favorite country music artist.
WOW! I found this song about 2 months after my sweetcheeks passed away...we met online and were together for 6 yrs, before he got lung cancer & was gone within 2 months after that! I still cant believe hes gone, it will be a yr on June 23rd..Baby doll I think about you every day about a million times and miss you more than I thought I could miss anyone!! You always made me laugh and were the most complete package EVER! Sleep in Peace my Love!! xoxoxoxoxox
I love this song. It's the perfect song for someone in your life you truely love. i only wish i could play this song for my husband but he is not truely in love with me so sad.
I LOVE THIS SONG IT MAKES ME THINK OF A GIRL I DATED 18 Y AGO I MIS HER AND I STEL LOVE HER I WISH I I COULD GO BACK IN TIME I WOULD NOT HAVE LET HER GO I CRY WHEN I THINK OF HER I LOVE YOU CAROL
I too am from NS and this song reminds me of my dad who played it over n over n over..n forced me to love Ronnie Milsap..our trips were from Cape Breton - Halifax( 5 hrs non stop) Cheers to dads! ♥
Reminds me of my first love, we married but it didnt work and the last time i saw him (while holding our baby daughter in my arms) he drove away playing this song...
i was always impressed with ronnie and his music i was fortunate and backup sang for him when i was younger one of his main backup singers was sick and ruth one of his back up singers had me fill in for him his music and talent has helped me in so many ways
@bewitchedeyes6 I too was fortunate when I worked in Chattanooga at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, we had converted the old ice skating rink to a concert arena and they booked a series of concerts with what I think was CMI out of Nashville and Ronny Milsap was one of the concerts, I was with maintenance and got to work setting up his equipment and stage items and got to shake his hand and when he came out onto the stage he looked out into the crowd and said what a beautiful audience we have here.
This song fits so well with my life right now...Along with the Grand Tour by George Jones. I am only 16 years old, but 2 weeks ago I lost the love of my life....She was my entire world....Every word of this song holds true to the relationship I had with her....We dated for a year...A perfect year...It seems like just yesterday she was in my arms..and now she is gone....forever. Her love for me became a dying ember....I love you Lindsey.
One of the best love songs ever ,had not heard it in sometime.I was out with friends last week and this came on ,I had to leave the table,it reminds me of loved ones lost and my childhood.soon as i heard it ,this flood came over me,Glad i found it here.
The first time i heard this song, i cn't help but to press the headset towards my ears so that i would feel ronnie's voice. Then to my surprise, teardrops fell unknowingly. CINDYNS, this song reminds me of my father,my superhero, my idol, my inspiration, my angel. So sad, i lost him so early but i could still recall memories of him. here i go i start to shed tears again.
@vergelsher me too cant help crying.. i will always and never ever forget my mom.. shes the best mom in the whole world.. she will always my mentor, great teacher.. happy mothers day mom...
@vergelsher Yes,the most moving song and wonderful voice i have ever heard,my mom and i listened to Ronnie so many years together,she is gone,and that song remains in my heart,no one will ever sing a song like this one.
@vergelsher hey, I woke up from a dream with this song in my head,, i woke up in a domestic violence shelter,, and this song was in my head,,, so vivid and so clear,, and my tears are falling now, as they did and always will,,, xo,, god bless you
This one goes out to my Father, he played Milsap out to the ranch and after a hard days work and I was there with him, Rest in peace dad, Luv Ya TH, sonny
love the song. my wife told me once when she was in school on a field trip they seen Ronnie's tour bus drive up next to them and all the kids were hanging out the windows waving until one of them said " ain't he blind " i'm sure some one told him a bunch of kids were waving but the idea always cracked me up.
The love of my life that this song and many others like it remind me of is Linda K.We fell in love in 1976 but I left to do my part in the military in 1977 and we were pulled apart by time and space.She always has been and always will be the one woman I will never stop loving or forget.
This is a wonderful song. once n every life someone does come along. I had it great for a while but i did not take a chance and wish now i would have. MR will always be the one.. i had a man who treat me like gold and would have done anything for me.. and i was too stupid to just go for it.. it would have been perfect.. i left him go so he could be with his family. i miss him everyday
SideNote: We also met Barbra Streisand at the University of Arkansas @ Little Rock,You think maybe they all hang out in Arkansas where they won't be recognized?..LOL...It was just a thought
In 1994 we sat the table over from Mr.Milsap in Browns Restaurant in Benton Arkansas,he was a nice man that we spoke to a couple of times as he overheard(he has GREAT hearing) bits of our conversation,he was kind,polite and really funny,I had absolutely no idea who he was,I have always regretted that,I was stunned when I found out he had that voice....It was like a brush with greatness.
Well, the section of this song that says, NOW MY BROKEN HEART CRIES FOR YOU EACH NIGHT, well that bit really does it for me, my partner who is now deceased at under 40 years of age. Ronnie was our music, we just loved him, we sat many times mesmerised by his voice watching his dvd
thanks ronnie, for touching my heart still alone without him, it helps me remember even when I think I'm starting to loose it
really, really makes me reminisce of the past....one of those songs that have found a place in my heart and mind..love this song..really one of my favorites..can't help but cry with all the memories this song evokes....
I love this song...reminds me of my dad....when we would travel..this song would be playing on the radio...I know all the words by heart...and I was a very little gurl...I would sing my heart out @2:33NOW MY BROKEN HEART CRIES FOR YOU EACH NIGHT....Excellent Post!
sometimes... we classify artists on the way they dressed up or the way they project their voices, and the instruments they used, but this song classified under "COUNTRY", but for me... maybe A LOVESONG>>> isn't it easy to classify the song the ways it was sung? or the lyrics... I don't know... maybe it's like in the movies... Adventure movie against action movie? or like matrix, is it action movie or science fiction movie... I don't know.
Ronnie Milsap is one of the greatest country music singers of all time. For being blind and being able to play the Piano like he can. God bless you Ronnie and may God bless you forever. You are so talented. I will always cherish your music until the day I die.
you know how songs brings memories, i for one usually hate country cross-overs but this song reminds me of when my dad and i use to drive to Antigonish a long drive and dad use to play this song alot and really i hated it but without knowing it i was the happiest in my life and now my broken heart cries out for my dad everyday and this song in a way keeps my dad alive in my heart, RIP Dad i will always remember you by this song brings back so much for me thanks for posting stevechinafan
@cindyns1 I'm glad your father was there for you, my dad died 4 yrs ago. he had mental illness and picked on me my whole life. I hated him much of the time, I even told him that I hated him for the constant abuse. But Im happy for you and your warm memories, count it a blessing we all dont have them.
Antigonish ?? I am from around Halifax, Lwr Sackville to be exact, I used to hear Ronnie Milsap all the time! The memories...not so pleasant...most of the time, but the music was good.
I love this song and the way Ronnie did it! Go to my video " genopopcorn " and give a listen to my arrangement with Roland Synth guitar and vocal of this wonderful song! thx : ) geno

@bewitchedeyes6 I too was fortunate when I worked in Chattanooga at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, we had converted the old ice skating rink to a concert arena and they booked a series of concerts with what I think was CMI out of Nashville and Ronny Milsap was one of the concerts, I was with maintenance and got to work setting up his equipment and stage items and got to shake his hand and when he came out onto the stage he looked out into the crowd and said what a beautiful audience we have here.

This song fits so well with my life right now...Along with the Grand Tour by George Jones. I am only 16 years old, but 2 weeks ago I lost the love of my life....She was my entire world....Every word of this song holds true to the relationship I had with her....We dated for a year...A perfect year...It seems like just yesterday she was in my arms..and now she is gone....forever. Her love for me became a dying ember....I love you Lindsey.

The first time i heard this song, i cn't help but to press the headset towards my ears so that i would feel ronnie's voice. Then to my surprise, teardrops fell unknowingly. CINDYNS, this song reminds me of my father,my superhero, my idol, my inspiration, my angel. So sad, i lost him so early but i could still recall memories of him. here i go i start to shed tears again.

The love of my life that this song and many others like it remind me of is Linda K.We fell in love in 1976 but I left to do my part in the military in 1977 and we were pulled apart by time and space.She always has been and always will be the one woman I will never stop loving or forget.

This is a wonderful song. once n every life someone does come along. I had it great for a while but i did not take a chance and wish now i would have. MR will always be the one.. i had a man who treat me like gold and would have done anything for me.. and i was too stupid to just go for it.. it would have been perfect.. i left him go so he could be with his family. i miss him everyday

In 1994 we sat the table over from Mr.Milsap in Browns Restaurant in Benton Arkansas,he was a nice man that we spoke to a couple of times as he overheard(he has GREAT hearing) bits of our conversation,he was kind,polite and really funny,I had absolutely no idea who he was,I have always regretted that,I was stunned when I found out he had that voice....It was like a brush with greatness.

Well, the section of this song that says, NOW MY BROKEN HEART CRIES FOR YOU EACH NIGHT, well that bit really does it for me, my partner who is now deceased at under 40 years of age. Ronnie was our music, we just loved him, we sat many times mesmerised by his voice watching his dvd
thanks ronnie, for touching my heart still alone without him, it helps me remember even when I think I'm starting to loose it

sometimes... we classify artists on the way they dressed up or the way they project their voices, and the instruments they used, but this song classified under "COUNTRY", but for me... maybe A LOVESONG>>> isn't it easy to classify the song the ways it was sung? or the lyrics... I don't know... maybe it's like in the movies... Adventure movie against action movie? or like matrix, is it action movie or science fiction movie... I don't know.
