song was written from a child's or a child-like point of view( through the eyes ..the heart of a child), so it is no wonder so many can relate to this song.. it speaks through purity, clarity..and honesty.. makes me want to return to this state of innocence, but i cannot.. ..beautiful though aint it?
@FatRat03820 it was , bk in the 70's lol, he was on a show like late night n they made him change it , said he couldn't say it on the TV, Merve Griffin or something like that ... you should look it up.... pretty funny , there is an interview wherehe talks a bout it ,,,, good song thogh eh ?
a song about loving the simple things in life and things that matter, like little fuzzy pups, coffee in a cup, pictures of my friends etc... Life is too short not to enjoy and somethings money just can't buy. I love the sunsets and the first snowfalls. They are beautiful. I love to see horses running free in open fields. I love this song. Thanks for posting it.
I've always loved this and am now singing it regularly in concert. How about uploading Tom and Patti Page's "Hello, We're Lonely".......I miss that one.Thanks!!!
I like all of it except the pictures for "winners when they cry" and "losers when they try" which doesn't seem to fit the theme of the song. Paris Hilton...a loser that tries?
I was going with the idea that "I love You Too" can sound like "I Love Youtube" hence I was going for "losers When They Try" can sound like "Losers When They Cry". Maybe it is stupid, but some people seem to like it ;)
How can he say he loves me too??? He doesn't even know me. I think that line was just a cheap ploy to sell records. Pro'lly worked on Grandma though :(
I love this song, i've listened to it 4 times in a row, and the puppy reminds me of a dog I had. I didn't like him when we first got him but then he came up and pawed me. I picked him up with one hand looked at him and he still tried to get attention and I gave him some, and after that i've loved him.
I don't remember the first time I heard this song, but my mom claims I was 2 or 3, and she came into the room with this song on the radio and found me crying and hugging my toy pickup truck. She bought Tom's album for me after that. The line about old pickup trucks is still my favorite, even at age 38.
This is my grandpas favirote song he would always sing it when he would do the chores and when he died i couldn't stop listening to this song. I was his "blondie" and i always will be when ppl call me that then i just go in a room and cry. I may sound dumb but Im serious i love this song so much my grandpa died six days from my birthday!
@taylorswift2010 Grandpa's can have a profound effect on grandchildren like that. Just a simple word, a line from a song, a certain way they done a particular thing can and will stick in your memory forever. I lost my Grandpa a few years back, and it was very tough. I felt as if I had lost half of my heart. I think of him everyday. He taught me tons of things that I use in life, and I sorely miss him. I am sorry for your losing your Grandpa. Grandpas rock!!
Webwriter, you have a point...it alllllmost sounds like "Youtube" doesn't it? And I agree with hideandseek & rottingcherriez, you did a great job on this.
My bf was showing me the video cause he sings it *with different words haha* and I didn't know it was a real song! Thanks for posting this.
