While serving in the Navy, I heard this song for the first time and all of a sudden I fell in love with this beautiful song. Now I'm 47, twenty years passed really quick in my life.
age doesn't matter...... how you live your life is...... spend our time as if it is the final second of living... enjoy life to the fullest every millisecond of it..... be happy : > )
Thanks Dogbig02. I have already heard this song in spanish but I really prefer it in english and sung by Eddie Arnold. As you say when we get older we feel the meaning and tears appear.
Ironically, I first heard this song in high school just after it's release in 1961, by Charles Aznavour, and liked the music but didn't grasp the meaning. A few years later, I was on the street alone in Okinawa just returning from Viet Nam, and heard the Roy Clark version coming from a clothing store as I passed by when the lyrics really grabbed me and I had to stop and listen. I feel the meaning now even more than I ever did before ........ when I was young. Thank-you for letting me share .....
Each time I hear this song with these beautiful lyrics it really make me feel sad and tears appear in my eyes. Every day when I sit in front my computer I have to hear it. Excuse meif I make some mistakes. I am from Spain.
Damn ! YouTube must have a loose cog, repeating so many times after imposing a 500 character limit. Yesterday, when I was young and still singing Kareoki at my favorite club, this was kinda like my signature song. The "Liverpool Beatles" also had a similar song that was one of their best.
@CaptRhett1 I think the problem of appearing 3 times my comment its mine. I clic sometimes too fast. The Moerster wrote me this song was sung in Spanish by an argentinian cinger. I heard it but I prefer much more sung in english by Eddie Arnold. I have some CD from Ray Price . Beautiful songs also. Carmen
This is one of my favourite song when I was young also. I have heard it also in French by Charles Aznavour and it is also beautiful, but I prefer it in English. I am from Spain, and I have not heard it in Spanish. Carmen

@2410mencia Carmen, there is a song to this tune called "Ayer Aun." Youtube has a version by the Argentine singer Carlos Javier Beltran. My Spanish isn't good enough to tell how close the lyrics are though I know the title is Yesterday Still...or Yesterday Yet.
Life is something that if you are lucky you will be able to look back on and remember the good things you did and the good things that happened to you along the way. Be careful because all to often the not so good things will be the ones that stick in your mind. just remember nothing in the past can be changed so take care along the way so you will have good things to remember.
Tom Also I think Eddy Arnold was one of the best singers of our time.
I am 26 (with 50 years experience), I have a few words of advice (wisdom?) for the youngsters who may read this. Slow down and enjoy your youth, it won't last forever.One morning, somewhere in the too soon, future, you'll look at your reflection in the mirror while you're shaving and you'll wonder, "Who is that old grey-haired man with the receding hairline?" Then you'll realize it's you. Growing old is no job for a coward ! Make good memories, NOW !
@CaptRhett1 I am a few years younger than you but with 50 years experience. Your comment is the reality of life. I think we realize when we get older. I think it is a beautiful song and as beautiful voice. Was Eddy Arnold a country singer? I am from Spain and do not know many American singers. Carmen
@2410mencia ,Hello Carmen, Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, time seems to fly by these days. Yes, Eddy Arnold was one of the premier country singers of his time, but most of the songs he sang were more mellow than the usual country music, and bears little resemblance to the country music of today, I believe his repertoire is more in line with Slim Whitman and Willie Nelson.
@2410mencia , Sorry it took so long to get back to you, time seems to fly by, these days. Yes, Eddy Arnold was one of the premier country singers of his time. His repertoire was more mellow than most country music. More like Slim Whitman or Willie Nelson. They are both considered "country", but excell at a wide variety of music, I think you may also like "Desperados Waiting for a Train" by Willie.

it's a beautiful song. love it. A french signer sing this song in french. his name is charles aznavours and the title is hier encore. very goos song also :)
I'm 59 and every time I hear this song I think of my father and his life. He served in Europe for all of WW II. Every day for him was gravy after that. Brings me to tears thinking of my wasted days and how I still lean on him even though he's gone.
...but when you think about it, this is the story of everyones youth. When you get older you look back and see all the mistakes you made. I love this song, because as Plato or whoever once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living."
Always amazed at what a great voice Eddie Arnold had. He is one of my Mom's favorites, but I always just considered him a "cowboy" singer - great song - thanks!
wonderlul! what a good lesson on how to live life and to its fullest and with good morals. i wish i knew this when i was young. thanks for letting me listen.
Actually, I'm not sure of the first person to record it. Certainly in the US, Roy Clark had a major league hit with this song, this wonderful song.
If you go to Charles Aznavour's version, with his thick French accent...you'll be amazed. Mr. Aznavour wrote it--and really owns it...WOW...these words are haunting aren't they?
Awesome presentation, You have to just wonder what the song writer had in mind when this was written....Deep Lyrics and a wonderful singer......Thanks for posting!!
OMG!! So true so true I'm almost 67 and I wish I had a time machine !!! These young people better listen to us old timers because we were young not so long ago!!!! This is one of my favorites even this big ol' man cries nearly every time I hear it Eddie and Roy are almost equally talented on this song !!! Thank you!!!! TenStarsplus !!!!! I'm crying while I type this!!!!
@linclon86 the answer to that question is found in the bible.... the KJV 1611 version... the others are so butchered up I can't vouch for them. We were created to praise, honor and glorify God our creator.
@linclon86 Ancient belief systems taught that when God created the universe into the 3rd dimension, He had an artist's love for His creation, but He was not of this dimension; He caused to be creatures on the Earth, including Man, so He could experience His creation through our emotions and senses. And see it from a billion different points of view. The Ancients held that we are stewards of God's creation, responsible for the Earth- all of it. And for each other- every one. Hope that helps.
@BigDuckKetterer todays youngsters will listen about as intently as you wouldn't have... yesterday. They don't wanna hear it, just like like I sure didn't wanna hear some old fart lecturing and reminiscing.
@BigDuckKetterer OMG!!!!! so true we"re the same this song touched my heart to the core!!!! I share your wonderful feelings thanks for your great message!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
I'm 65 and glad to have made it this far. I don't remembrer a world without Eddy. Whrn I was very small and before TV Saturday night was Hil Billy night with the Riders of the Purple , the louisiana Hay Rride, and of course the Grand Old Uproar. Thursday my Mom made us listen to the longhair music on the Bell Telephone Hour and The Firestone hour.
The original singer is Charles Aznavour who made that song first in French in the the early 60s. It was later remade in English and interpreted by some of the greatest. Roy Clark is my favorite.
This is the first time I've heard this version.He does a nice job also.I got this the first time on cassette,with Roy Clark& now I got the same CD as well
.I like Eddy Arnold's music.He was one of my mom's favorite singers.
I'm not depressed...I just remember my dad singing lots of eddy arnold songs...this was just one of them. He's 90 now and we had to put him in a home. i visited him one day and he said....it won't be long before you are where i am right now....well, he was right...it wasn't that long ago he was my age. this song hits the nail on the head...i never listened to it like this when i was young and he sang it. thanks for your kind words.
I wish I'd know then what I know now...I'd have been a better son...a better boyfriend...a better friend...life is fucked....you just start to learn how to live properly and it's time to go. I'm 36 and feel like I'm old as fuck....Nothing is fun anymore because the next thing you know...we'll be on our deathbed. What's the point. Just keep going day to day till it's our time.
@stripes5150 IF THIS IS HOW YOU FEEL AT 36 . WHAT WILL YOU FEEL KIKE AT 71 ? I BURNED THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS ,HAD 3 HEART ATTACKS AND 3 WAY BY-PASS . I LOVE MY WIFE OF 50 YRS AND ENJOY MY GRANDKIDS ALSO GREAT GRANDKIDS LIVE LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME.ONLY OTHER CHOISE YOU GOT IS GO IN A CORNER AND BLOW YOUR F***N BRAINS OUT.
@solangesand I TOLD MY KIDS AND GRAND KIDS TO THINK BEFORE THET ACT . FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSIT REACTION . WHAT YOU DO MAY COME BACK AND BIRE YOU IN THE BUTT
lovely song ..full of meaning.......it makes one relate it too our own life.but i say to myself God made me a sheep not an owl.many many thanks for posting much appreciated
Thank you for the lyrics. Years ago, there were "song hits" booklet where guitar music and lyrics of songs were published. I wish they would revive the publication! It is fun to sing along...
Only after listening to this posting I really get to know this beautiful song. Thank u linclon86. It describe my life too....opposite the one describe in My Way....
We miss Eddie...I saw him almost once a week...we always seemed to eat lunch in the same places. He remained kind and gracious into his old age...we could use a few more like him here in Nashville.
My thoughts exactly. I have Roy's version in my faves, and got this one from your page. I will fave it (as soon as hockey season is over). I never heard Eddy Armold's version before, love his voice.
Saying G.D. what a Beautiful song is the single dumbest stated in the History of mankind. Why Curse? Why invoke God to damn anything.. because a song is beautiful..
Has the culture so infested your heart & mind you can't think of anything else to say. Just sad.. pathetic.. & ignorant.
Saying, "G.D. - what a Beautiful song." is the single dumbest statement in the History of mankind. Why Curse? Why invoke God to damn anything.. because a song is beautiful..
Has the culture so infested your heart & mind you can't think of anything else to say. Just sad.. pathetic.. & ignorant.
let him say whatever he wants- ibpreach-you just made quite possibly the most unnecessary youtube comment i have ever read. you obviously have pent up anger about something - pick your battles- why monitor and insult somebodys harmless phrasing?
Not pent up a bit. I just always make it a point to stick up for God. I honestly believe it's sad to take His name in vain. This especially true when one is making an effort to compliment a song. Why take a puplic forum & just debase it? It's not just a saying as suggest. Thanks

He's 90 now and we had to put him in a home. i visited him one day and he said....it won't be long before you are where i am right now....well, he was right...it wasn't that long ago he was my age. this song hits the nail on the head...i never listened to it like this when i was young and he sang it. thanks for your kind words.

I wish I'd know then what I know now...I'd have been a better son...a better boyfriend...a better friend...life is fucked....you just start to learn how to live properly and it's time to go. I'm 36 and feel like I'm old as fuck....Nothing is fun anymore because the next thing you know...we'll be on our deathbed. What's the point. Just keep going day to day till it's our time.
stripes5150 2 years ago
umm.. its not going that way stripes
I wanna tell u something
simply you are not old as you think
you are just 36 . the period of youth is from (20 till 50) so u are not old ok
the other thing is that the youth of a person is not measured by his or her age
its by your acting in life
I wish u change ur point of view about ur life
Indeed. u only have just one life ,only one
so to be or not to be ..if u didnt like ur life so try to change it & make it better ..be optimistic & practical

@stripes5150 IF THIS IS HOW YOU FEEL AT 36 . WHAT WILL YOU FEEL KIKE AT 71 ? I BURNED THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS ,HAD 3 HEART ATTACKS AND 3 WAY BY-PASS . I LOVE MY WIFE OF 50 YRS AND ENJOY MY GRANDKIDS ALSO GREAT GRANDKIDS LIVE LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME.ONLY OTHER CHOISE YOU GOT IS GO IN A CORNER AND BLOW YOUR F***N BRAINS OUT.

Just a correction: in the song its not "wild" pleasures, its "wayward" pleasures. Cheers, good tune. He's a beautiful poet.

thx for ur correction . but I knew it :)

My thoughts exactly. I have Roy's version in my faves, and got this one from your page. I will fave it (as soon as hockey season is over). I never heard Eddy Armold's version before, love his voice.

Saying G.D. what a Beautiful song is the single dumbest stated in the History of mankind. Why Curse? Why invoke God to damn anything.. because a song is beautiful..
Has the culture so infested your heart & mind you can't think of anything else to say. Just sad.. pathetic.. & ignorant.

"God Damn it"= is just a saying, just a saying!
Dont let little things like a phrase/a saying/words, unsettled you; as inappropriate
the may be, they are just words!
No mean intention was there when I posted.
And if some, as you may think are pathetic & ignorant, remember it is within you to empower their doing, or not!

Dear Z,
Not pent up a bit. I just always make it a point to stick up for God. I honestly believe it's sad to take His name in vain. This especially true when one is making an effort to compliment a song. Why take a puplic forum & just debase it? It's not just a saying as suggest. Thanks
