  • I was born in the wrong generation..... This is what you call music!!! Life, Story, Lesson and Love.

  • Don Williams is wonderful...his voice has always soothed me in my hardest times and accompanied me in my joyous times! he is amazing! DON'T LET IT DIE!

  • This is no doubt Don Williams' best ballad he ever recorded. It's just too bad country radio never touched it when it was released as a single. Had this been released 20 years ago, I guarantee it would be a huge #1 hit for him. That's when real country music got played.

  • My husband and I went to see Mr. Don Williams two different times in Seattle, WA. both times I thought he was great. I found this song after my husband past away from cancer on Jan 16, 2010. I feel this song is how we felt about each other. Mr. Williams has a way of making you feel every word he sings, his easy style is so refreshing he pulls you into the song by making it so real. I believe "My heart to you" will always be the song that keeps my husband alive in my memory for ever. Thank you!

  • ....and my heart to you forever...

  • Don Williams sings the BEST love songs.

  • Where can i get this song, anyone know?:)

  • YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I LOVE YOU DON WILLIAMS" GOD BLESS YOU!

  • A beautiful song...one of many that Don Williams has shared...

  • My daddy used to play his songs on our broken player when i was little , n i wud listen to it till i fall asleep. now im all grown up and Don's songs will always be the best lullaby's for me :D . He's one of the little things that make life worth living. Thank You Don. Even if i never get to meet u in this life, i hope ill get to shake ur hand up there =)

  • he goes straight to the heart

  • I just cannot get enough of this song.

  • I could listen to him all day every day.

  • he is the epitaph of the true country gentleman, few even match him and his past

  • great video and song thanks.

  • excellent... superb !!!!

  • I have loved this man since I was able to hear and understand what his words meant ...his music is awesome!

  • This Man is right up there with George Jones great singer Don Williams is one of the greatest singers there is love hearing him sing.

  • Thank You for this video it is wonderful he is the best ever

  • One of the greatest in country music, have loved him most of my life.

  • Don if you aren't married I would love to have you sing for me at night...None better than Don.

  • This would have been a sure # 1 hit for Don Williams 21 years ago when he was in his prime. This is the best ballad he ever recorded. Bar none.

  • Don Williams is the greatest. his songs always hit my heart.my husband dedicated to me..( til the rivers all run dry.) love Don and that song.. love all his songs..

  • 0 CARA É FERA. MUITO BOM.... QUE VENHA AO BRASIL....

  • every time I hear this gentleman I comprehend why I love country!!!

  • ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE BUSINESS AND REALLY UNDER APPRECIATED IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY.  WHAT A VOICE AND AN ABILITY TO SING AND RIGHT

  • A true country singer....

  • LEGEND.............

  • j'adore !!! Trés beau morceau !!

  • j'adore !!!

    

  • Don is such a legend.

    

  • When is "DON WILLIAMS" doing another UK tourer. My wife keeps saying " Id love to go and see him again" So come on back "DON" our wives are are driving us crazy!!

  • i got teary eyed... my tears are threatening to fall...

  • LEGEND..............

  • I love his voice, and his songs. He has such a smooth velvety voice. Melts me everytime.

  • Bein' really big isn't his style.But he is definitly one of the very greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • a beautiful song played masterfully in style

  • This is a real simple music video yet it says so much. I hate the music videos that have to go over the top. All you need is the singer singing the song. Also would like to say it is a shame Don Williams is so underappreciated for his brilliance. People like Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw can make the big bucks and get the radio waves and good guys like Don get screwed over by the big boys. Its a crying shame.

  • Excellent video, one of the great REAL country singers.

  • I have really enjoyed this video...In fact this song has me in tears...I think it's the most beautiful song I have ever heard...I am wondering if I can purchase this song out there somewhere on an album and if so what is the name of the album...I absolutely have to have this...I loved Don Williams from the first time that I heard him sing but this song just crowns them all............

  • @stargazer61423 You are right..I am crying too.. My gosh, he said everything..this kind of music stays with one forever. Thanks Don Williams..wish you had been in my life.!

  • Meravigliosa, dolce, canzone d'amore che adoro e che ascolto continuamente......

  • I saw his concert last night.... Still sounds great as ever!

  • Beautiful song.......

  • I saw Don in Wichita in '78; drove through a blizzard to get there with road blocks all over the place but it was worth every minute of it. He truly is a gentle giant.

  • Anybody who doesn"t like Don Williams doesn"t like country music and likely never will

  • Não tem mais o que dizer de Don Willians. Sua musicas falam da sua amada, da familia. É uma escola para os sertanejos brasileiro que so sabem gritar e chorar.

    É uma pena que não vem ao Brasil. O Maracana ficaria lotado......

  • Don Williams, the "Gentle Giant", he'll be 71 years old this May. We are slowly seeing our true Country Music Legends leave us for the big stage with our Lord. I just hate not seeing, not hearing great legendary talent like Don Williams on so/called country music stations. i realize that their are great new talent out and up and coming, but these music execs can't see no future past the end of the month. and they have failed miserable our greatest tresures in music, our Living Legends.

  • @ConditionOfAnonymity so true, these fellas and shielas are pure gold

  • @ConditionOfAnonymity Go to his website. He is on tour this year.

    I am excited to be able to see him in Newark, OH. Aug 27,2011

    I helped get Ronnie Milsap on his bus a few years ago and I mentioned that it would be great to see them both on the same stage. Maybe I had a small part it getting Don out of retirement. Maybe.

  • @ConditionOfAnonymity

    You are so right about "not hearing great legendary talent". Country music today is not true country music.

  • @ConditionOfAnonymity what makes u think he is leaving...his music is amazing and forever...i play it for my grandchildren and they love it!!! Don Williams is NOT going anywhere!

  • Don Williams was one of my fathers all time favorite artists. "Boy, he's smooth", he used to say.

    Thanks for the memories.

  • wow Some how along my road of life i forgot were i got my best pleasure of listening to good old school music . 50 years old this year just figured out youtube on this computer my daughter gave me. WOW Don Williams willie nielson, john prine thank you you tube and all the country folk who still care

  • @mrbrian2401 ----I'm a dozen years your senior. But boy do I like my computer. Like you said, the music of our youth & more.Hoyt Axton-Patsy Cline-Roy Clark-Johnny Cash. You can get answers to dang near anything, & sometimes they're even right. And danged if you can't travel anyplace on the planet. Tell your daughter for me, she done good to get you computing.

  • @mrbrian2401 Better late than never mrbrian, there is a wealth of beautiful music here. Don is one of the best. Enjoy, make some lists, check out some other lists & pick out what you like. I have about 400 cd's at home, & about 6000 tunes here to listen to. Long may it continue.

  • one of the best country singers in the world thanks don

  • Gracefull in any respect!

  • the older he becomes the warmer his voice.

  • einfach fantastisch....

  • WOW, he just keeps getting better!

  • @SafetyJane and getting closer to death...

  • dons music is timeless, though we'll always behungry for more,youcould rerelease any of his song today and it would be asgood now as it was then

  • Thanks so much for posting this. A true country song sung by a truly talented icon. I sure wish country radio would wake up and start playing music like this again.

  • Rediscovering Don Wiliams... can't get enough of his music

  • Linda e suave canção! Amei, favoritei e listei ;>))) Beijosssss no ♥, Maykira

  • So beautiful...i feel like floating....please keep singing.

  • Thanks for posting. I love Don's singing and have most all his recordings. First time to hear this beautiful song!

  • Sorry to hear about Don getting sick and having to reschedule his Ashland show. I had tickets but will go back to see him on November 1st. I hope he doesn't miss his hall of fame induction on this Sunday

  • Who's Gonna Fill His Shoes?? NO ONE!

  • I sure would like to see if the young "country" singers could pull this off....doubtful. Thanks, Mr. Williams, for you to share your wonderful skills for us. I listened to you when I was a lad of 14 when you came on the scene, and for your continuing such a superb legacy. God bless you and yours.

  • Beautiful!!

  • Don Williams has the most beautiful and soothing voice of all time. I love it. My daughter has loved him since she was little, about 2 or 3. She is 40 now & still loves to listen to his music.

  • What a great song. Went and saw him in Durant OK last night... He continues to be a wonderful performer with an amazing voice...

  • This ole' cowboy still got it!

  • "Country Gentlemen" are a dying breed. Don has always been a model of personal and professional integrity. God bless his ability to live the honest life he sings about. There are many shallow country singers around, but very few "Country Gentlemen" left. Who will replace him when he's gone?

  • The only 'current' country singer that holds a candle to Mr williams would have to be Alan Jackson. Though I was listening to him 15 years ago, so not so 'curent'. Singers like them don't need to jump up and dance on the stage, give them an Stage, a stool and a guitar and they CAPTIVATE YOU! --Hope Kevin Skinner can break out he has the vocie too.

    SLOW slongs just don't sell though, like my wife sais, their "borring".... Damm shame.

  • @jwdundon

    Thank you for the response. You are correct that Alan Jackson is another dignified country singer. Like Don Williams, he is a man who relies on honest music and integrity. Thank you for posting this video, and for supporting country gentlemen like Mr. Williams!

  • @AbleServant1 Who will replace him? Your children or grandchildren - The next generation if you raise them right.

  • @camarosbob Thank you! You're right - let's pray that the next generation will provide us with more "Country Gentlemen". :)

  • Wonderful song. Love it.

  • Don is coming out of retirement to do one last tour this year. I already have my tickets to see him in Dallas, TX on Oct. 27....3 days after he is inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

  • @gadawg363 I am really excited about the tour! I have already purchased my tickets and will be at the same concert. And the induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame is WAY overdue...

  • this song makes me cry...i'm here in the UK million miles away from home...nobody here with me...

  • very nice video JD...the dissolves...the pans.....all placed perfectly to go along with another gem by Don.......thank you

  • I was fortunate to see Don in concert during his last tour. Don Williams and Jim Reeves have the most soothing and amazing voices. Pure, simple, and simply amazing. I find myself returning to the music I listened to while growing up and wondering what has happened to the industry. This is real music.

  • Gordon Lightfoot, Don Williams, Lobo, Simon and Garfunkel, John Denver..... what would life be without them?....

  • So happy to hear Don Williams was inducted into Country Hall of Fame. Much deserved.

  • @44Snyder really!!! I am also happy to hear at last. He really deserve 100 percent

  • What a great video, he has been one of my favorite singers since i was just little,such a soothing sound he has,the country music today does not even began to compare with the traditional country music,thank goodness we have you tube and sattelite radio,so we can still hear this great music!

  • @san4266 I also like his voice and music since 1974, when I was my first time in Florida visiting my family there - and bought some tapes there. I was very surprised that in Germany nobody did know him. This song shows that his voice is better than ever - G.Leni@web.de

  • To My Special Man - thanks for directing and posting. Hope he will do more sometime. great feeling and depth.

  • This reminds of then man I recently meyt on match.com, and he says he wants to marry me already, then all we have to do is to spend the rest of our lives to figure out why, never unstood why people wait til the last minjute to get married

  • one of the greatest singers of all time

  • He is truly the DON of music........from him music dawned......

  • gent your right there he is the best, i have grew up with his music and i will contune till i die,

  • @apache121 I have now started a don Williams collection , better late then never,I am no expert ,but hes voice sounds better as he got older.

  • @silverjag100

    Like a good violin, some voices do get better with age. Watch those PBS Doo Wop concerts and listen these guys in their 70s and 80s who sound better now than they did back in their day. It would be nice of Don would tour again, but he doesn't anymore.

  • thanks for posting, I was never a county music fan until I heard this fantastic song,

    and this fantastic voice , now I am a Don Williams fan, thanks again,

  • Abrianna my Darling i give you my heart my soul and my my everything just to you i love you my darling XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXX

    YOUR LOVING HUSBAND ANDREW

  • This song reminds me off my dead husband- he use to love Don williams.

  • @MYRT58 I know what you mean, my husband used to sing "Best Friend" to me and this hould have been something for our 25th anniversary if he had lived to sing this song he never heard :(

  • @crispycritter101060 Im sorry my thoughts are with you...my husband use to love all his songs. Take care and god bless...from Myrtle.

  • This will be our wedding song its true beauty

  • Great song and singing some great feeling in this song.

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. I love the words.

  • This is so beautiful, it makes me cry. Don puts such feeling & emotion in his songs.

    I don't think I have ever heard Don Williams sing a song that wasn't a great song.Thank you for posting this.

  • Ol' Gringo Don

  • First saw Don in Corpus Christi Texas when he was with Pozo Seco Singers. In the intervening 40 years, he has only gotten better. And y'all are right, they don't make em like him anymore.

  • Don, you are forever the best in my book :).

  • great song ever!!!

  • His features look like they were hewn from an ancient oak and his voice is like a deep rich smokey whiskey.

  • @nitemoovs you are playing safe but fact is you enjoy much don's Williams music right?

  • he was such an outstanding exponent of Country music. Greatly missed by those who enjoyed his music.

  • Thanks for this video. I have enjoyed Dons music for a long time. I remember the TV show he was on, with no hat. I sang Lord I hope this Day is Good, 20 years ago for my wife. My wife says I sound like him. I hope to pick up the guitar again someday . I know I can never be Don, but like many others just love the music and want to be a part of it. Looking for a look a like hat now. Just want to thank Don for all he has done and say We had a good when he was here in Redding,Ca. Please come back.

  • The Gentle Giant. What a timeless classic this guy is.

  • eu me emociono de ver ele cantar essa musica, ele e um verdadeiro cantor classic country americano.

  • I grew up listening to don and even better now my partner sings his songs and he just sounds like him how great is that.he even surprised me when he recorded gypsy woman just for me and now he learning amanda even greater LUCKY ME X

  • I remember when i was 11 years old my dad always play don williams every morning when iam still in bed and before i go to bed in the in the night . the first artist i know is Don Williams i still i grew with this Don Williams song best!!....

  • i went to school with his son don had a 1956 chevyi had a 1957 in 1980 rembering theis gentle man taking time to talk with me what a great man

  • I think Don Williams, John Denver and Johnny Cash are likely the three greatest singer/songwriters ever. The three of them are in a class of their own. The unique and wonderful thing about Don is that he proves that a big, strong, very manly man can also be very emotional and eloquent. Johnny showed us that anyone, however far they've gone, can find redemption. John showed a reverence for nature that I think we should all take as an example.

  • When I was 11 and 12 years old I used to drive my dad around at night listening to Don ,Waylon and Hank In an old dodge tradesman van. I was sober he wasn't. HHmmmmm

  • When Don sings, I believe every word! Few have that gift. Don is one of the best if not THE best!!

  • I've loved Don Williams for at least 35 years. Can you believe he didn't want to sing!! Only wanted to be a songwriter. What a waste that would have been with such a great voice. He is the best

  • I love Don Williams! I grew up with my dad listening to him and he just relaxes me.. I could listen to him everyday all day and be relaxed..

  • Legend....A Great Man...

  • always classic Don williams. Love u forever.

  • Don Williams = Real Cowboy

  • has anyone got the song called "now and then" by Don Williams, I cannot get it in the UK for some strange reason, I think its one of his best but little known

  • Did you manage to get it? I am sure i have it on an audio cassette somewhere, maybe if needs be i could get it uploaded for you.

    love the song myself! 'now and then, miracles still happen. . '

  • Hi

    No I havnt yet. You dont need to go through such trouble im sure some day it will come up on youtube or somewhere. Its quite hard to copy from tape to computer and get decent quality.

    Thanks for your kindness

  • I can remember listening to the radio hoping to hear the latest release by Don. And oh what a treat it was when you did hear a brand new song for the first time on the radio. It was an exciting time. Don isn't gone just retired but I miss him terribly. May God richly bless Don and his wife Joy and their two sons. He has brought so much pleasure to me in my lifetime. This summer I am going to get on my big ole two wheeler and ride his way and hopefully get a chance to meet and talk with Don.

  • @genecross You go girl!!! Tell him I said Hello!! Hedden boy.

  • I have been working on compiling all of my Don Williams music tonight and the past several nights. I was a rock and roller until the day I heard "Come Early Morning" by Don. He changed me into a country music fan and a lifelong Don Williams fan. For all of you that are too young to have known him when he was releases singles and putting out new music, you missed something that you can never experience.

  • nitemoovs I totally agree with you. JohnDoneganVideo, I envy you. It must have been such a great honor to work with him.

  • tengo mas de 25 años escuchando a DON WILLIAMS para mi es lo maximo,tuve la suerte de verlo en un concierto en DALLAS TX. en BILLY BOB.S y escucharlo en persona es increible

  • HE IS THE BEST!!!

  • It so much beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!

  • muy buenoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • nitemoovs said it all. New country just dosn't and won't get it. What a talent. Good comment, nitemoovs

  • Awesome. Every aspiring country wanna be NEEDS To study this man.

  • This guy just reeks of honor and dignity. His music is so honest and true. It has nothing to do with selling albums or celebrity. He does not belong in this century ot the last for that matter. Enjoy him. We shall not see the likes of him again

  • don williams is the man! country legend!

  • dang i have never heard of don williams till about 5 seconds ago wen i came accros this song......damn i like it really relaxing country the way it was mean to be

  • Although the last,First to Last were Brilliant

  • Wish he'd do 1 album a year....just to keep the habit up for us hat heads.

  • I do agree wholeheartedly. I grew up with his music. God bless this man that brought so much love into my heart.

  • wow,beautiful music indeed.l1ve always been a fan of the great Don!!God bless him!!

  • I saw Don in concert and dozed off, almost falling asleep at times, not because he's boring but because his music is so soothing and relaxing. One of my all time favorite country music singers in the world, sad that he retired in 2006 but thank goodness he left us so many wonderful songs... God Bless you gentle giant of country music.

  • Another great song from my alltime favorite singer. I have grown up with his music and for every song I have several good childhood memories. A great singer with a gentle voice.

  • THIS WOULD MAKE A NICE WEDDING SONG

  • Brilliant song / Brilliant Singer

  • BEAUTIFUL song . it really reaches out to ones heart

  • anyone know what song Don dedicates to Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields in Smokey and the Bandit 2 in the bar?

  • its called To be your man.

  • No, could you let us know?

  • This is a very special song. This one in for sure is as if Don wrote it for my late husband and me. Don is a great singer and song writer. Thanks for sharing!

  • Ah the gentle giant! God love him-he is the best!

  • Don Williams is one of the all time greatest country singers. I could listen to him sing the phonebook!
