[MeXSerei]

feeling so cool. ^^

[SJDAY11]

One of my best friends is moving and I played her this song and we both started balling our eyes out it makes me so sad thumbs up👍

[bratzisfosho]

My family played this song at my aunt funeral and it has stuck with me ever since I cant listen to it without crying!!!

[wpscheercuti]

I love her! Have since I was 6(now 13),and this song has gotten me with so much. <3

[BlueEyedAngel2129]

My great aunt just died, and she's been like a grandma to me for the past 8 years since her sister my actual grandma died and probally before that, and she's been a second mom to my mom. this song expresses just what we need to hear now. thank you for posting it really helped me and my mom

[HunnyABee]

@BlueEyedAngel2129

I'm sorry for your loss. I wish the best for your family, and you're welcome. The song is beautiful, and makes me thankful to have my own mother by my side, although I don't always show my appreciation. It kinda changes your perspective on things, no?

As said, I wish the best for your family, that you may soon get through these hard times. <3

so sad,my mom came out for my daughters baby shower.and stayed at my house.woke up rhe next mornin sunday. outside.on a sunday mornin.we talked and she was so cute.her and my baby sister left after 1:30,and by 4:00pm that day found out there was a accident.screamed like no one's business.was on news.my poor my was ejected from vehichle and severed in half.and the truck rolled like over twenty times.................how do ya deal with that

[BeauParfaite]

I'm at 2:07 right now and I don't even want to guess the last verse. Her mama dies and there's no one to help her to say good bye?

D':

[randyswife5]

@BeauParfaite well actually the point is that her mama dies but has already helped her to say goodbye thru her whole life. so while she's gone, she can still help her. :)

i remember my freshmen year of high school, i had a project about someone special in our life, and i chose my great-grandma, and it was the day before it was due, i was looking for a song, and i found this, and it was 12:00 AM and by the end of the song i was bawling while everyone else in the house was sleeping.

i love you great leda. you were the best

[rsman26]

For you mom, I love and miss you everyday

[Nancy8805]

Oh how life changes, I used to cry over the best friend leaving part but not the other two, now it's the reverse.

[islandboy4445]

[lionfellforthelamb88]

In 2010 i lost my grandma, She had endless problems.. Thanks to cigerattes. She suffered from heart disease,Emphysema,Lung disease,Astmah and much more. She was a mother to me. The more i think about this... Cigerattes should be ILLEGAL. They kill people.. STOP SMOKING NOW!!!!! My mom stopped smoking for me.. Im trying to get my brother to quit. Please help me with my fight against cigerattes!!! God bless.. I miss you grandma... <3 I'm so sorry i didnt say goodbye! RIP 1939-2010 ((ONE YEAR </3)

II listen to this song whenever I have a life changing event like when I got divorced it reminds me that life goes on and I have more to look forward to. I am so happy I have so many songs like this one to help me through life. Thank you Patty and all the other songs writers and artist out there

[TheFoxtrot21]

this is such a sad song :( this is what im going to have to do when my boyfriends grandpa dies, im going to have to be there for him more than i am now..

[MandaPandaAJ]

I tried singing this song for karaoke.... epic fail... I ended up blubberin' like a baby instead :(

[maryandkara2013]

but i am lucky enough i havent had to say good bye to my momma yet though earlier this year i lost my grandpa in january great uncle in febuary grandma in march and my 6 year old cousin in april a day after she was born this song is a comfort song to me and i have a feeling it always will be!!!! i love this song!!!(:

[maryandkara2013]

my momma used to sing this to me and my big sister when we was really little i think it was cause we was always movin and we always had to say goodbye to our friends we move every four years cause somethin always happens and we have to im 15 and i have moved about 13 times because once in the four years i moved four times ive currently been in the same town for 5 years but i have moved to two different houses and we are about to move again i love this song its just a song i have always loved!!!!

[izzehWIN]

i can't even contemplate the thought of ever having to say goodbye to my mother. i can relate to this so much. truly beautiful.

[bean1999rocks]

i love this song

[SanyadorAnimals]

So many times I tried to play this song for my best friend who was moving away-back before youtube-but everytime it came on the radio it was after the first verses. I miss you, Rachel, it's been almost seven long years since you said you'd be gone for a year. You're happy with your life, and I'm occasionally content with mine, but what would it have been like if you never left? I wonder every day

[howlingsandy]

These lyrics are touching. Who hasn't had to leave/be left? Sometimes before we know it, it's too late to ever undo. I recommend "I'll be back someday" by legendary blues giant Howlin' Wolf, it speaks to having to run away age 13. He'd bought his 1st long pants. cutting railroad ties, 60 cents/day 6 weeks after plowing 7 days/week, and dressed to take his hoped-for sweetheart to church, sadistic uncle made him slop hogs ruining his clothes. Wolf hit the hog, it died. Wolf woulda been next...

[echo1228]

I cried the whole time!

cause I HATE goodbyes,

and one person I NEVER want to have to say goodbye to is my mother.

[cevynmorse]

i dedicate this to my mom cuz she recently lost her best friend he burned in a Car accident

[boobootheawsome3]

i still cry about my uncle, great grandma, and great grandpas deaths! i love this song!!

[JJsully734]

I just finished my last show in the summer musical i was a part of... and im moving in 2 weeks... im moving across the country. and so today i had to say a final goodbye to a great deal of my really good friends. so this song had me in tears the whole time.

[Alana446]

I love this song. Patty Loveless has an amazing voice...

[emobabe1327]

I cant evenn listen to it they played it at my aunt funeral we were ver close...

[narutoismine88]

goodbye is such a sad word

[NekoAlias]

@narutoismine88 But "hello" can be wonderful, and you can't really say one without saying the other. ^^ 

[narutoismine88]

@NekoAlias "hello" is so much more exciting :)

and of course, all good things have to come to an end, but there are a lot of ways to keep creating good things in order to ease the sadness :)

[LucasMidkiff]

...Single tear...

[MaiMomoto]

My brother introduced this song to me, and he told me that he almost always cried at the end of the song, we seemed to both connect more at that point. Such a sweet song.

[scorpion4427]

The last part could make chuck Norris cry

[MewMinto34]

This song gets to me every single time I hear it...great meaning.
