I love this song. This song represents the end of the world, the end of the sun, then the end of the universe. Quantum physics of the Big Bang theory.
To the person with the "pork," comment. It's a shame these comments are not screened! "IF" we could only go back to a time when people had morals. Thank you Bread for the beautiful music!
I love this song so much sometimes I wish it was longer; on the other hand, it writes/speaks volumes in its conciseness and simplicity, which makes it glorious and elegant! Lovely pictures too; favorited :)
While listening to a podcast today I heard that David Gates was 68 years old on thursday.
Before announcing that fact the board op played a little of Goodbye Girl. Just downloaded 12 Bread songs for the ipod. Seems we never know how we miss this music until we hear it after so many years. Good vid and nice to have the lyrics. thx
When my love for life is running dry you come and pour yourself on me..........Love this it takes me back to when life was so simple and innocent.Thank you for posting this.
I have always loved Bread...I have both of their greatest hits albums on vinyl. It is just so sad that two of the original members died of cancer in 2005. There is just no music like this anymore.
Mindslife, this has got to be my favorite song of all time, and this video is just AWESOME my friend!!! I have to ask you though; have you seen the video klasydj, Denise has created for this song? If not fella please go have a look at it and feel free to share it with all of your friends as I am positive she would appreciate it. You just HAVE to see it too understand...
Getting later in life... This song, this poem, my first love... I learned to play the guitar so I could play this song in the court yard of my first crush. Now I look at the lady I love today, and the words still ring true. Take care and God bless...
what a beautiful song. life is so precious, so many people get caught up in worldly events, that they don't stop to think where they came from and why were here..
Love is the best gift of all to give to someone you love so simple and free
Timeless classic from 1971. The images are not only beautiful but breathtaking. Thank you for posting this glorious video. Very relaxing and comforting.
Your music video brought the 70's memories back to life; it made me remember women that I loved for a time, it's tought for a sub sailor to keep a girlfrind. I appreciate the mental cruise back to those times and seeing all of them one more time. Thanks for the memories!
i was only 12 years old, and my first girlfried and i danced to this song.....i was in the 6th grade....it was the first "white boy song" i EVER heard played at my elementary school in philly....and i LOVED it....chicago truly rocks.....
Very nicely done video, and a very lovely song! I love Bread, and I am a teenager, so that just shows you that classic music like this isn't lost on our generation. I love stuff like this. Thank you for posting!!
To JP5466: The 70s was not a bitter as my generation now, so they were able to write songs like these. Rap, with all its nasty angry messages, is the music of my generation. No wonder some of us find solace and comfort in the music of our parents; like this one. If music really "soothes the savage breast" as Shakespeare wrote, this one truly does.
Theres actually quite a lot of rap that isn't angry. it can be quite bitter sometimes yes, but it often asks the same questions the beatles and lenon asked of society. Try divine styler. and though i love old music, i find ppl that listen to it are often quite condescending, you might say its only about modern music, but they often criticize our culture as well. To that i say that we ARE the product of the last generation so their actions, including their rebukes have shaped us.
To ucilazyazn: Sure, rap may ask the same questions the Beatles and Lenon did; that's why the Fav Four were classic. Nothing to do with our culture; Divine Styler is good, but I just can't feel that format delivering the same message that Bread delivers in "Diary" or "If". It's like trying "to win the hearts and minds" with an M16 in your hands...you get different emotions instead.
Makes me think of my grandpa. =( Makes me cry. I love this song.. my mom was playin it on the piano.. i asked her what it was called.. then looked it up here.
it's been a long time since I listened to this song...like...years...the last time was when ..i think...when i was 7 or 8. yea, three years. Bread rocks.
God what a sound, i miss my classmates in high school, wish them all the best just in case and if they still remember me.. I'm Danny Bantilan of Republican College, Murphy Quezon City way back 1975
Im so sorry to hear this bad news...i saw your 48..same age as me..born 1960..your husband must have been a fairly young fella also...I would like to wish you and your family members all the best in the upcoming years. I am sure the song makes you sad, but i also hope it can put a smile on your face from time to time.Best wishes to you young lady.
so sweet

then you and I would simply fly away
