Last week while we were in our 4 times a day phone conversation, I talked about my trip back to Toronto on the end of the month and my phobia on plane crash. She said that if anything happens, she would like us to die together be it on car or plane crash. We both cannot imagine living in this world alone, although !'m in Edmonton working as IT consultant and she is with our 2 other children in Toronto. I asked her if she has not got tired of 30 yrs with me. She just laughed and continue talking

[nch1327]

Soft, reminds me both sad and good beautiful memories, heart warming......

[juliaaceberos]

A very beautiful song..a meaningful song that will touch every ones heart.Thank u Ray Conniff and singers.

[sub1maz2]

Ray Coniff, probablemente la mas popular de las orquestas norteamericanas en Mexico de los 60's. alejandro

[ELCIDVIVAR]

@sub1maz2 En efecto y sobre todo en Sudamerica especificamente Brasil.... Saludos... y gracias por tu comentario...

[patimovic]

Thank you for sharing such a magnificent and moving song!!! Boy I wished I had been to one of Ray Conniff's concerts! I thank my daddy for sharing his passion for such wonderful music!! Though I was very young and didn't speak English I realized he had marvelous taste!! Now that I speak English, I can tell him what the touching lyrics say!! Well, if I can hold back the tears!!! ;-)

[alerga]

beautiull video.

[beth2925]

love this song so much... :)

[shonin02]

its good listening to this song, flashes back memories...

[sharrelgoh]

Hearing this song again after all these years reminds me of my days in the Uni. A Uni mate's father passed away suddenly and tragically.... she played this song by Ray Conniff over and over again in her room....that was the first time I heard it and over the years I never forgot the lyrics..... On a happier note...we are happy souls today... Wonderful Ray Conniff ...

[beezy4265]

Thank you, hearing this song has put my life back on the right track.I am appreciating whats really important.

[rwb010109]

Nothing better than Ray Conniff, orchestra and chorus,,RWB

[mpanlaqui]

very good song by ray conniff so wonderful..........and nice to the soul.

[SpearheadWarrior]

Unless a loved one has passed away you won't ever truly understand what this song means.

[ELCIDVIVAR]

@SpearheadWarrior Life is a cycle, unfortunately we can not alter it, but it is always important to tell what we feel now time for someone ...

[kimberly41113]

my mom and i have been looking for this song sine a long long long time..

we're glad we found it!

thank you for uploading

[wolfkall1]

I like this song very much

[lutti2506]

you take my joy, and take my sorrow, i needed someone who would care,

what a beautiful song, thanks for posting this song

[Nechos12]

The song is very nice here today and gone tomorrow despite the time that will not stop going to sound good to me I always will remember also that forms part of a great artist like Ray Conniff !!!.....

[jocuyax]

my mom like this song pretty cool!

[Olancho61]

He was just special, how wonderful all those memories he left for us his fans.

[5dr6]

I love this song!....this song is included in the CD album HARMONY...I just bought one from EBAY recently...its 2 album in 1 CD.

[susiev08]

This song goes through my mind every time someone close to me passes on, but I hadn't heard it in years..... just found it here. So true - "that's life, that's life....you take the joy, you take the sorrow.... that's life, that's life - you're here today and gone tomorrow." Doesn't matter who you are or how old you are, when it's your time...... RIP Boyd......

[jellos07]

ohhhh this song reminds me of the past while we were in central azucarera de bais , a lot of our memries still there . my beloved bro emie boss bought a ray conniff record i was a little girl at that time . from your bonita hermana .

[becauseiloveyeah]

;;-) Way back then when he left for USA, There`s still pain. ;;-(

[RainOfBlue]

Oopsss... type on the youtube search box this way:

"Ray Conniff. Peaceful" (without the quotes)

[RainOfBlue]

In the same league as with this one, there is another song you guys need to listen to. Also posted by ELCIDVIVAR, the song PEACEFUL will give you the same power and intensity of emotion expressed in a song. Peaceful's message is about a man who left a son behind... the message however, and the melody seems to project you into your own land of memories. Search for that song. you're gonna love it!

[RainOfBlue]

I bought the LP album (vinyl) w/ this song back in mid-70s. I have been looking for the CD version since, & never had any luck at all. Guess they never release these on CDs. Ray Conniff tells us the legacy of life here on Earth. Here today and gone tomorrow. Life is short. Make the most out of it before it's too late.

[ivyrosecaba]

this song is very close to my heart cause it reminds me to the people who are dear to me. if you listen to this song and understand each lyrics your going to cry.it will touch your heart.i ddicate this song to my papa vic pecarana and to ate marilou berbesada who is not in this world anymore.they left a memory to me with this song. i miss both of them.

[doods1960]

Its sounds like a heavenly song...magnificently arranged.

[doods1960]

It's like a heavenly song...magnificently arranged.

[lomejordever]

!EXCELENTE MAESTRO!!!GRANDE RAY CONNIFF! CANTABAN COMO ANGELES SU CORO AHORA ESTA CON VERDADEROS ANGELES!!!!!

[brightsky41]

this song really broke my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dingles920]

This song really makes me fall into tears. I miss my mom a lot. Now I find it here I would cry over and over again. Even now.

[SECAMsLive]

I'm pretty sure Ray Conniff wrote this song. I've still got a cassette release of this album that I bought a LONG time ago. I'm glad to see this song is on YouTube so I can listen to it. :) A big thumbs up for uploading it.

[sprROINGG]

@SECAMsLive Yes. This is Ray's composition. Good catch @ SECAMlive.

[ALEJANDRAMOTA1]

Ray had voices of angels in his chorus, but now HE HAS REAL ANGELS IN THE HEAVEN learning how to sing.

[ALEJANDRAMOTA1]

I'm sure Ray had voices like angels in his chorus, but now HE HAS REAN ANGELS IN HIS CHORUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Ray for so many mamories.

[mochitang]

This music is timeless. it is so beautiful!!

[rwb010109]

We were blessed for having Ray Conniff and his singers and orchestra for many years and this song says it all! RWB

[BriannaDowling]

This song really touchs my heart!!! Love it, it is a old but good song

[Myrtle791]

"I live because I love you. I love because there is you to live for."  -Rod McKuen- From his LP "Winter."

[aliciaelsa]

Es uno de los temas de mi juventud que mas recuerdo. Es hermoso, y lo encontre en youtube, lo busque por años. Gracias por el recuerdo

[exider2009]

My mom is 85 years old ...i just wish GOD will take me first....some people will get hurt if GOD takes my mom first......

[exider2009]

A song with purpose thru living and death....living to a fullest not hurting anyone but given someone a helping hand....death with dignity and someone will continue the good purpose that person had left....

[ronivolts]

Ray Connif like to bring back ... But God can do ...Norival Brazil

[ianingsue]

thats life, we're here today and gone tomorrow, so what ever good things we can do today, do it now....

[tojour]

Conniff''s young wife looks Latina. Was she?

[sprROINGG]

@tojour No. Vera is Swiss.

[jurbinsky77]

Through failures and disappointments, we still find our way back to being appreciative of what God has given us.

Let me thank my wife of 29 years, "I came to you in dark despair.." But I will not go on alone, we will both look to the same direction. I hope we will go away from this world together. No regrets, no haunting of the sins of omission. It is me because of you. I don't live for me but also for you.

[nch1327]

@jurbinsky77

God's blessings to both of you...

[jurbinsky77]

@nch1327 ..Thanks a lot, nch1327!

[nakayoshi328]

wonderful song, a lot of memory.

[Explorerways]

RIP Maestro. I will always remember my childhood with love thanks to my parents but also thanks to your music, my old man have almost all your Lps.

[rwb010109]

Wonderful song..RWB

[manhaterlady19881983]

it remind me, when im still young,until now its my favorite song,

[deucecoupe71]

*sigh* thank you for posting!

got me all sentimental .. but I like that! :)

[clavenell]

Makatotohanang himig sa lahat ng panahon. Ganun talaga ang buhay. Kaibigan mo siya ngaun, mahal mo siya ngayon pero maaring bukas wala na siya sayong tabi. Biglang maglalaho na parang bula kasabay ng ulap kng san man siya patungo. Life is too short let's make it very meaningful in the eyes of god and humanity.

[pabanil]

Thank you very much for this song!

Thats life,here today and gone tomorrow! That is true! The most important is you do you best!

Greetings from Nahum

[JaysonCusi]

Very great song, this is the one of my favorite song that II always sing in videoke right now, always getting a score bet. 95-100. tones are worth remembering and lyrics are very inspirable. :-)

[JaysonCusi]

This was my favorite song that I have listening when I was 5 years old. And right now, this song was still alive for me, and thats why I am always sing this song in videoke.

[pabanil]

One of the best song i've ever heard.

Nahum

[MrRogsun]

A song worth remembering, so popular during my first travel abroad.

[MrRogsun]

I remember this song when i took my board exam one of my favorite song, a touching and hurting song but still it is worth keeping on mind??????

[jurbinsky77]

That was'73 or '74, Mr Rogsun.

I was 2nd year pre-law but switched to Mathematics. Nine years after I was ready for my Civil Eng'g Board.

Look back where your life brought you. Despite of everything we have been through, I found my call in UNIX world, happily married with 3 children and passionate about computerized health care delivery system (thank you DOH/WHO for sending me to AIT and CSIS, Milan). Here in Ontario, I find songs in the past that remind me of my younger days.

[mattyboii3023]

hii

[susangzales]

thank you for sharing this song...its so touching and soothing to the soul..it bring back good old days

[billabongPH]

nalulunod ako sa lungkot. wala akong ibang naisalbang mga litrato nya nung umalis kami ng probinsya. hindi ko na rin ma-imagine kung ano ang hitsura nya nung maliit pa sya at nung magdalaga na sya at yung hitsura nya nung maliit pa kami. kung may kapangyarihan lang ako, gusto kong balikan ang mga pinagdaanan ng nanay ko. i still also have a vague memory of my father's face since he died when i was just 5yrs old. I don't want to ask why people die. i'm drowning in tears of sadness thru this song.

[billabongPH]

i heard this song since i was small...when my mother died in 2007, i t hought of this song and search for it and didn't find it, because i am searching for That's Life, and there was YouTube...all the old old songs I want is here. I love old songs, if i choose to live my life it would be in the 50s or 60s not in the 80s. I made this song as a sound track for all the pictures during my mother's suffering until her time ends. truly amazing, music is indeed the soundtrack of our life. Thanks a lot!

[rwb010109]

Jerry 854,,You are so right,,RWB

[jerry854]

Where have all the best band leaders gone??? Ray Conniff WAS Colunbia Records...along with Percy Faith and, of course, others. That era was the greatest !!! No one has filled their shoes yet !!! Waiting patiently for someone to step up to the plate.....

[jeffox]

salvatore... excellent!!!!

[Gamboin1]

grande, grande es tu misica maestro Ray Conniff, Luis T. Martin Gamboa de Campeche

[angusthethird]

Conniff was a superb bandleader, but an underappreciated vocalist as well.

[Zara3344]

So beautiful so true.

Manythanks for posting.

Best regards Maria

[balerians]

i've been looking for this song for the last 35 years. i first heard this song when i was in my junior high. i was touched by this song and can't believe that i will  only find it here in cayman islands when i typed the song in the youtube. thanks to you elcid.

[pgm425]

Habang buhay pa ang mga mahal natin sa buhay kailangan na ipadama sa kanila ang ating pag mamahal,sapagkat darating ang araw na hindi natin sila muling makakasama,,,huwag nating hayaan na mahuli ang lahat,,,kaibigan,,, kailan ba natin nasambit sa ating mga magulang,kapamilya na mahal natin sila?..sabihin mo na,dahil sa ayaw at gusto natin tayo'y lilisan sa mundong ito at babalik sa piling ng lumikha...

[nengvanklaveren]

Ray Conniff is a true genius.. I cried while i was watching thing video..im a musician and im in an orchestra here in manila..like him i spend almost all of my time for the love of music by the help of our God..

[mattghary]

[nengvanklaveren]

[RainOfBlue]

This song takes me back to my childhood days with my family. Then as fate would'a have it, I went far, far away. The next thing I know He took Mom & Dad away from me. Yes, true to this song, you'll be here today and gone tomorrow.

Enjoy your loved ones, people close to your heart, people who mean a lot to you. Time is not forever. *sigh!*

[wtbootcamp]

Well said rainofbleu.I play this song on my

keyboard many times.Love it.Art

[RainOfBlue]

Sadness. You realize the value of a special friend or a loved one, only when you lose them. I think the message of this song is... life is short. Treasure the moments (while you can) and cherish the memories as part of your life. This song is tied to so much of my unforgettable memories. But that is life. You're here today and..... *sigh!*

[curuterjkt]

very nice song.. thanks elcidvivar for posting it...

Esos cantantes que Ray dirigió en aquella época son increibles, para mi, los mejores que Ray ha tenido.
