unbelieveable it's a shame great musicians like diamond rio were put on the back burner to make room for less talented bums like taylor swift ....it' a sham ...i guess they weren't pretty enough to be good ..
I bless the day I met you, I thank God that he let you lay beside me for a moment that lives on....And the good news is Im better for the time we spent together and the bad news is you're gone.. Seven years w/you was not long enough - and 28 years old was too young to go back home. Love&miss you everyday baybee - RIP Martin Anthony Hoffman 5/14/1981 - 10/02/2009
i thank god that I meet you 26 years ago and that we had 8 wonderful years together , we both have someone else now but i will always remember you and us !!!! .I thought we would be together forever !!
It kills me knowing my moms husband died from cancer, I am always hearing stories about how much of a good guy he was. And I hate seeing my mom in pain from it, I can tell it hurts her../:
I just thank god that I had 10 years of Trevors life, to spend with me. I will miss him every day of my life. I Love you and miss you every dqy of my life!!

This song says it all I lost my mother 4 months ago she was only 56 way to young she left behind 4. Beytifull grandchildren a wonderful husband and two sons who loved her dearly rip mom we love u
Even if your ex dies I thank God I had a chance with him and in a way I know I was blessed I am 46 and he was 50 last year 2010 when he pass Doug Smith RIP from your only wife Melissa
@zz878 you were right if you see; i also never knew the story behind the song however have always quite literally taken the words to heart. this and their song "one more day" just have such deep emotional meaning that touches some people to their souls. such emotion that at times, you can't bear to listen.
She waited for me for five years after we split. We came back into each others lives after that time. Even though we spent the time together, I just couldn't tell her how I felt, until it was too late. She moved on.
This song was written by Paul Williams, a canadian born songwriter and actor that also wrote: "An Old Fashioned Love Song", "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie. He also was in the original Smokey and the Bandit Movie. He wrote the song about the breakup of his marriage following his battle with alcohol addiction. She helped him defeat his addiction but it tore them apart. I was there 25 years ago and I cried the first time I heard this song 15 years later
@badbiker64 I had posted below about the song seemed like although the love was there , one person was "broken" and causing pain to the other Now it all makes sense after reading your post and makes the song even better knowing the story behind it and that he shared something so personal to help others cope.
I think this video is about two people who truely love each other but still can't make things work because one of them is "broken" and causing unintended emotional pain to the other even though they love that person and they have decided they love them enough not to hurt them anymore. They are thankful for the time they have had together and have no ill will and each feels blessed to have shared their lives together, it's just heartbreaking
@zz878 you can't be anymore right it happens i am in the middle of this devistating nightmare but i didn't realize it til i read your post/ along with our two small children my ex husband left us and without cause or reason we picked up and moved on i met the man i now call my husband no other man could replace him in my eyes but i feel the anger welling up and then resede and out of my control i blame him in ways i shouldn't
My beautiful wife of 26 years is leaving me because she cant get past the stupid things i did to her when i was younger and stupid.I grew up and she grew apart and died inside.She is the greatest woman ever born and i dont know what to do without her.I feel torn apart,scared and lonely.this song says it all.For all the younger guys out there dont make my mistakes love and cherish them.
@michaelloveskerri hello my beuatiful wife has left me and took our 3 precious babies for reasons i caused my electical bussines is loosing money daily and i took it out on her...she is so beuatiful/sweet i feel like i killed her inside how could i do this to her...we used to listen to this song but i always thought this will never be me ...well now it is i am all alone in an empty new house with all these possesions but they are worthless without my jessica and my little boys and my 1yr girl
@desolategrey I'm so sorry :o( If it's something that is repairable, try your damnedest to redeem yourself to her & fix it. If it is not, I wish you the best of luck in the future. Stay strong. Things will get better. Things, with time, always get better even when it seems impossible.
@desolategrey Read your story. After 5 months here's hoping your life has turned around for the positive. It's very true, you don't what you've got until you lose it. I almost lost it but regained my senses. Best wishes my friend.

YOU KNEW ALL MY LIES, YOU KNEW ALL MY TRICKS, YOU KNEW HOW TO HEAL THAT PAIN NO MEDICINE COULD FIX. DADDY, I FEEL SO EMPTY. LIFE JUST ISN'T WORTH LIIVING WITHOUT YOU. HOW COULD GOD HAVE TAKEN YOU? AND LEFT ME HERE WITHOUT YOU? SOMETIMES, THE ACHE IS SO BAD I WANT TO TAKE A HANDFUL OF PILLS AND NEVER WAKE UP AGAIN. I CAN'T TAKE THIS PAIN ANYMORE. YOU WERE MY WHOLE, I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU. PLEASE GOD I ASK ONE THING OF YOU TO REUNITE US AGAIN OR I WILL.
@dadsgirl0423 I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL, I LOST MY DAD ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I MISS HIM MORE EVERYDAY. JUST TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. THAT'S THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU. AND FIND SOMETHING WORTH LIVING FOR AND WAIT UNTIL ITS TIME FOR YOU TO BE REUNITED, HE WILL WAIT FOR YOU.
@craaazzzyyy1 I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR PAIN AND FOR LOSS OF YOUR DAD. I PRAY THAT YOU FIND PEACE AND SOLACE. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO ME IN YOUR PAIN AND AGONY I WISH I COULD HUG YOU. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND.
YOU KNEW ALL MY LIES, YOU KNEW ALL MY TRICKS. YOU KNEW HOW TO HEAL THAT PAIN NO MEDICINE CAN FIX. DADDY, THOSE FEW WORDS REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF YOU. NO ONE BUT YOU EVER KNEW THE REAL ME ON THE INSIDE THE ONE THAT PEOPLE KEEP SECRET. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR GONE ALMOST THREE YEARS. HOW COULD GOD HAVE TAKEN MY WHOLE LIFE AWAY FROM ME? I HAVE NO JOY IN LIFE BUT GUT WRENCHING PAIN AN AGONY WITHOUT YOU. I PRAY I CAN JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND BE WITH YOU AGAIN. PLEASE GOD GIVE ME MY BELOVED FATHER BACK
@dadsgirl0423 I lost my Dad when I was six, over 20yrs ago, instead of focusing on the fact he is gone, remember all the good times. If you focus on the good times things will start to get better. It won't happen over night but eventually it will get better
I love this song! My uncle just passed away a month ago today and he was only 37, but he was such an inspiration and left behind so much and he will never be forgotten!
This song reminds me of a girl I once loved with all my heart. I miss her, well the girl she used to be. We were so in love, a true moment in my life I felt true love for a complete stranger. Life is so weird,great things only last a moment, so cherish them
I lost my brother in January of this year, and it'll be three months without him on Feb, 5th, and it's just so hard to believe that he's gone... I miss that smile, John. I miss you...
@KeelersUpdates Im sorry for your loss and I truly hope you have found the peace you deserve. I know your brother misses you and I know he is right there wanting to hold your hand. He wants you to live your life, he'd be most happy if you did.
This song came out nearly a year after a dear friend of mine passed away from an blood clot. The funny thing is he was related to the drummer of Diamond Rio. I miss you Alec. This song will always remind me of you.
I've seen Diamond Rio live three times and this song two of those. Beautiful song. Jimmy's guitar playing live on this tune is unmatchable... but so is everything else he plays. These guys are right up there with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as far as talent and harmony go. When are these fellas hitting the Atlanta area again?
I feel a big goodbye coming. This song I hope will help me remember how wonderful and amazing he was. How blessed I was to be loved by him, even if it was just for a little while.
this song remind of my brother and he died at war and my twin brother like best friend and before he left to go back to Iraq and me and my brother finally make peace between me and him and since i choose the guy I love over my familys and i have sons on new years day and i name of my son after my brother and me and him have a unique connection between us and he is gone and me and my brother share a very close bond or a very conflicted and distant bond between and my brother finally accept my m
arriage to my husband and i miss him every day since he been gone and i love my brother and my brother understand why i choose my man i love my folks and i don't under my father thumbs any more and i felt something inside died inside when my brother was died and i know so was wrong and my husband tell me my brother died and i felt something inside died inside when my brother was died and
I lost my entire life to a guy that doesn't love her. I let her go and I regret it everyday. She hates me now, she was my world. Erica is someone I will never forget, she made me truely happy. The bad news is "You're Gone" and I have to watch you leave. I love you for all I'm worth and you will always be in my heart.
@ahardy52 , very true! Good thing is that who needs a chiropractor if you listen to the harmonies at 2.53 .....that'll straighten out your spine...Without a shred of doubt the ultimate spine-thrilling harmony.
@zillinalovedance this song came on country music in the early 90's. from the very first time I heard it, I was hooked and couldn't forget it. R Diamond Rio touring any time soon? I love their harmonies and lyrics; so miss them!
and i cried hysterically i could believe that i had came home when i should have been with her. i miss her as if she passed away yesterday. i wish she could still be here i could use her wisdom and guidance now that i have a little one of my own.
@hollowechos, you and I are two peas in a pod! I moved in with my grandparents in fall of 1990. My grandmother taught me so much. She died 2 weeks after 9/11, and it still pains me to this day as it did 10 years ago.
i spent three months living with my grandpa while my grandma was in the hospital fighting the lymphoma she had. i stopped going to school and spent everyday with her and him at the hospital. on february 13th my grandpa told me to go to my moms for the night so i could get my homework because my grandma was doing better she was finally getting to go home. at 230 am i got a phone call from my dad and he simply said baby girl its time
This song makes me think of my grandma who died on valentines day of 07 although it has been a few years it still feels like yesterday. my grandparents helped raise me because my mother was 14 my father was 17 and neither were truly ready for a child my grandma taught me so much and loved me so much she helped make me who iam today.
The first time I ever heard this song was July 30, 1998 I was holding my 2 month old son and I sobbed an overwhelming and uncontrollable sob. I slid down the wall to the floor as I held him and cried and couldn't figure out why this song could make me go through such emotions till the next day. July 31,1998 I woke up to find my son had died in his sleep and I knew why I cried so hard.
I should have added I wish I could have changed things for the better, but the good Lord has his reasons. She gave me something that can't be taken away, and that's the first taster of true love.
This came out the same as "It Was" by Chely Wright. I felt nothing but dread, and then my first serious girlfriend told me too take a hike. It's a great song, brings back some happier times.
The song itself is sad enough. But, that, combined with some of the comments that I am reading make it hard for me to read what I am typing through the tears. Sorry for all of your loss.
thank you and my wife and I met each other she was 16 year old and I was 18 year o ld and her family think i was wrong for her and she save me i met and i save her and I rescued her , she rescued me and i enjoy single day she was live and I don't how move my life without her and She was true love my life and me and her have up and down our relationship
I believe that this world has been blessed to have a group like Diamond Rio. Their beautiful harmony and carefully picked songs make them a true gift.
od in our marriage and she saw something in me and nobody saw in me and me and her struggler money problem and she bring light my life and Sunny days seem to hurt the most and Wear the pain like a heavy coat and I feel her every where I go and Still can't believe she's gone and Like a story that had just begun The death tore the pages all away and God knows how I miss her andAll the hell that I've been through Just knowing no one could take her *place* and The only thing that gives
1 thank YOU and i miss my wife everybody since she been gone and she was true love my life and her folks can't accept our marriage and her choose me over her rich life and she walk away from her rich life and her folks to be with me and when i first met her and she change me forever and i am not same man she came into my life years ago and i have 5 beautiful kids with her and she understand me nobody understand me and me and her haveup and down our relationship and me and her havego
I just lost the love of my life last summer and she dead from leukemia and me and her have child is 3 year old son and i am lost without her and l lost the best thing to me to my best friend and I miss the look of surrender in her eyes and The way her soft brown hair would fall and The one my heart and soul confided in and The one my heart and soul confided in and The one I felt the safest with and The one who knew just what to say and to make me laugh again and let the light back in and I mi
@lonelyboy0915 im very sorry my friend...i recently lost my wife to ovarian cancer,and can relate...i feel like my life is over...god bless you my brother
@lonelyboy0915 Just hearing all your words of love for your wife and the beautiful life you had lets people know it was a love that will live forever. We must believe that this love moves to a higher realm and the loved one watches us and we know that some day we will be with that person again.
@veggiegal1 and i don't love someone else like my wife and there's apart missing in my life and my friends said i need to move with my life and find other woman and
Some hope and Is I know I'll see her again someday and Some days the sky's so blue and I feel like I can talk to her And I know it might sound crazy and i wish i have more year to spend with her before she dead and i am greatest the time i spend time with her and i lost my best half and i am not same with out her in my life and i couldn't move love other woman like my wife

she’s gone and she became the missing link that helped me break my chain and what im going to do without her and how I was so blessed to have her in my life. Instead of looking at the fact that she is no longer here with me, I can look at the things she taught me. The time she spent next to me and the things she did to make me who I am today!! I am a better person because of her and i will take with me all that she taught me.... I love her so much!!
me and my exboyfriend together fews months and he change my life and i am not same woman because him and i am thank the time me and him spend together and he show me different way on life and together And I bless the day I met him I thank God that he let him and Lay beside me for a moment that lives on and the good news is I'm bette ter for the time we spent together And the bad news is you're gone and he beca came the missing link that helped me break my chains
People this song fits my little sister so much..she lost her husband a few days ago...after 30 yrs of marrige..myy heart is totally broke for her..I loved my brother in law so much..he seem to be a brother instead..if you pray, please pray for her..
This is another beautiful song written by Paul Williams. I got to see him last night when he sang with the local symphony. He was funny, charming, and very humble about all his success. I've admired his music since 1970 when he helped write the theme for a bank commercial featuring newlyweds that became "We've Only Just Begun". His songs are always so rich and full of meaning. Not like a lot of the crud that passes for music these days. Skip Ewing is another really good songwriter .
@dadsgirl0423 Funny that you attack me for correcting someone's grammar. When it really had nothing to do with you. Screaming at me on the internet doesn't solve anything. Especially in regards to an old comment. I removed it just for you. Hope that helps you feel better. ;)

NO ONE BUT YOU EVER KNEW THE REAL ME ON THE INSIDE THE ONE THAT PEOPLE KEEP SECRET. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR GONE ALMOST THREE YEARS. HOW COULD GOD HAVE TAKEN MY WHOLE LIFE AWAY FROM ME? I HAVE NO JOY IN LIFE BUT GUT WRENCHING PAIN AN AGONY WITHOUT YOU. I PRAY I CAN JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND BE WITH YOU AGAIN. PLEASE GOD GIVE ME MY BELOVED FATHER BACK

@dadsgirl0423 I lost my Dad when I was six, over 20yrs ago, instead of focusing on the fact he is gone, remember all the good times. If you focus on the good times things will start to get better. It won't happen over night but eventually it will get better

I've seen Diamond Rio live three times and this song two of those. Beautiful song. Jimmy's guitar playing live on this tune is unmatchable... but so is everything else he plays. These guys are right up there with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as far as talent and harmony go. When are these fellas hitting the Atlanta area again?

I lost my entire life to a guy that doesn't love her. I let her go and I regret it everyday. She hates me now, she was my world. Erica is someone I will never forget, she made me truely happy. The bad news is "You're Gone" and I have to watch you leave. I love you for all I'm worth and you will always be in my heart.

@hollowechos, you and I are two peas in a pod! I moved in with my grandparents in fall of 1990. My grandmother taught me so much. She died 2 weeks after 9/11, and it still pains me to this day as it did 10 years ago.

This song makes me think of my grandma who died on valentines day of 07 although it has been a few years it still feels like yesterday. my grandparents helped raise me because my mother was 14 my father was 17 and neither were truly ready for a child my grandma taught me so much and loved me so much she helped make me who iam today.

The first time I ever heard this song was July 30, 1998 I was holding my 2 month old son and I sobbed an overwhelming and uncontrollable sob. I slid down the wall to the floor as I held him and cried and couldn't figure out why this song could make me go through such emotions till the next day. July 31,1998 I woke up to find my son had died in his sleep and I knew why I cried so hard.

she’s gone and she became the missing link that helped me break my chain and what im going to do without her and how I was so blessed to have her in my life. Instead of looking at the fact that she is no longer here with me, I can look at the things she taught me. The time she spent next to me and the things she did to make me who I am today!! I am a better person because of her and i will take with me all that she taught me.... I love her so much!!

This is another beautiful song written by Paul Williams. I got to see him last night when he sang with the local symphony. He was funny, charming, and very humble about all his success. I've admired his music since 1970 when he helped write the theme for a bank commercial featuring newlyweds that became "We've Only Just Begun". His songs are always so rich and full of meaning. Not like a lot of the crud that passes for music these days. Skip Ewing is another really good songwriter .
