My Grandma use to sing this to my mom, and mom sang this to me. My grandma passed away a few years ago and its been hard loosing her. My dad started to play it and my mom ran, knowing she would be sobing by the end. I havnt heard this song in a long time, but when my dad started playing it, I started to cry, thinking of my grandma. I miss you!
Crying my eyes out listening to this song. This was mine and my mom's song. Tomorrow will be 18 years since she's gone and I still miss her. I love you mommy!!!
I am a 48 year old man, and I cannot explain it but, when I hear this song; the lyrics touch me in such a way that I cannot hold back the tears no matter how hard I try. Especially the ending. Trust me, I rarely have ever cried.
My mom used to sing this to me,I cry when i hear It and thank god I have her but,It makes me upset knowing I will haft to lose her one day well,I have her now,that;s all that matters
My Mother took me to a Helen Reddy concert when I was young. When Helen sang this song, Mom hugged me saying this song always made her think of me. We held each other and cried all the way through.
Time has passed. I lost my mom and best friend just over 5 months ago. Memories called me to look up this song again. Thank-you Helen for the wonderful memory your song has given me. I miss you Mom!
@01DragonflyTree I am sitting crying my eyes out. Your comment sounded just like mine. My dad died in1978 (I was 19 and a Daddy's girl). My mother loved my dad so dearly and I know now she never stopped hurting for his loss. My mom and I were the only ones left with no one. She told me this was our song. She passed away 25 years ago, and there is not a day I don't ache for her. I've never listened to this because I knew I'd boo hoo!! 01Dragon~we were so BLESSED! I love you Mum!!
@NCFLbabygirl Thank you for your comments and reminder that we were (and still are) so BLESSED! It's hard to hear that you still ache after 25 years......I'll stop waiting for the ache to stop. At least the pain has decreased with time.
I can never hear even the opening to this Beauty without my eyes filling up.
I didn't have anyone in my life who made me feel this safe. Thank goodness I had It.
Helen Reddy you always made me smile. I cherish this little number in particular thanks again. Even 30 or more years later I still well up even at the opening line. Just a softy I guess.
its so hard when you and your husband break up and the child is the most affected of all...as a mom...im enduring the pain of being far away from my son....cos i need to work here abroad to save some money so I can take him from his bad father.
I love this song and it reminds me of a happier time in my life raising my son DJ. Unfortunately, the good times ended when my husband was in a bad car accident and became a very angry and abusive man. My son has decided to follow his father's example of being verbally abusive to me ever chance he gets. After 3 years of enduring this abuse, I've finally started reaching out for support and help to cope. I never dreamed this would happen and I pray that some day my son will stop the abuse.
I dedicate this song to my mom who passed away and i hope she knew how much i truly admired her and very muched loved her even when we had our differences .
no matter what our differences in life may have been i had always had respect for my mom for raising me alone and i will always cherish the times that we did share that mean't the most to me . mom this was our song when i was a little girl and it will always remain our song xoxox always your daughter .......
i was a single mom for 19 years; my daughter is now 23, & with minimal financial assistance from me, put herself thru 5 years {she had a double major} of college. in august, she will begin attending stanford law school!! i could not be more proud, nor more happy for her.
i have sung this to her; i REALLY feel this song!! for so many years, it definitely was just megz & me against the world.
My name is Alicia and I have been a single mom of 3 boys for 23 years. I was informed today that my 12 year old son will recieve the presidents awards for academic excellence! I am happy today but I too have lost my mom 2 years ago and not a day has gone by that I don't cry wishing to hold her caring hand one more time. I love you mom! ♥♥
Mothers are a true treasure from GOD. If you still have your mother, hug her, cherish her, love her, and never forget to tell her you love her. If there is a rift, try your very hardest to get of that rift, because when mom is gone, she is gone. As I said, she is a God-given treasure you can never ever replace once she is gone. You will learn things from mom that you can never learn anywhere else. I say that from experience. She does things for you that no one else things of or cares about.
This has truly always been me & my mom's song. She was a single mom who raised 5 kids alone. I was the youngest and the only girl. we danced to this song at my wedding for the mother/daughter dance. I'm lucky to still have her in my life!!!
My sister dedicated this song to me and I think I find it more fitting. I love my big sister more than almost anything. :) My mom and I are best friends but there's nothing like a sister's relationship with her sister. :)
After my dad and mom separated my dad relocated to another state. My mom and I got along for just a little while. I remember her playing this song, holding me as she sang it.. next month.. on the 3rd she has been gone a year. She never got to see me marry my fiancée or even have a baby.. and i never said goodbye. She and I got into an argument. I said I loved her before hanging up.. three months later she died... and I feel empty inside
Every time my 5 year old hears this song he runs to me and holds me and at the end he always says i love u mommy just like the song. Mommy loves u michael and cameron. everything will be ok cause mommy is here. I love u boys so much..
For you mom...it was 3 years ago today..that you passed away from cancer...and I dedicate this song to you.it was our song..as many mother and daughters song..this song always brings tears to my eyes...very true...there is no bond like a mother and daughter..Mom..You will always have a special place in my heart...I miss u so much!!! I love you so! Oh I wish so much that you were here! And when one of us is gone..and one of us is left to carry on..so....very hard to do...thank u Helen Reddy!
I think of my sweet son, DJ, who is a gift from God every time I hear this song. We've been through so many difficult times together through the years and he would always say "Mommy, I love you and you're the best Mommy in the world". I felt like I could face anything.....
everytime i hear this song i think of my nana, she always used to sing it to me and she had a beautiful voice:) still has a beautiful voice. to me this will always be me and nanas song...forever:)
This makes me think of my precious son, DJ, who is a gift from God. We have faced so many tough times together and he always tells me "Mommy, we can make it through this". I love you DJ!!!!
I LOVE this song! This was always our song. There is no stronger bond than mother and daughter. This is the most beautiful song. I dedicate this song to my mother as well. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER!
i am blessed to still have my mother with me, although she is nearly 82 years old. my deepest sympathies to those of you expressing the loss of a loved one {mom or husband or wife...}. :(
i often sang this to my daughter as a child.
calamity jane, my favorite brother danced with me like that, & i in turn danced with my daughter like that! thanks for the memory jog. :)
My mom used to sing this song to me, even when I was still in her womb. The day before she died I played it for her. I only just recently was able to hear it. Funny thing it was really just me and her, she was a single parent, and I'm scared of clowns.
the boys were so small when my husband passed away, and there were several times that i would hug them tightly, and sing this song to them... they would stand with their little feet on top of mine as we would dance through the living room... it's now been 9 years since i lost seth, and the boys and i - well, we still face our struggles, but we're doing just fine... i must have done something right, as it is now the three of them who are "big and strong, and looking out for [me]"... :)
I have this on CD and my boys and I listen to it often. I'm a single full-time dad and it hits home with us. I also lost my mom in October of 2010 and this sums up how she and I often handled the family and the world.
reply to MrCamycan below=managed to eventually see this song on youtube thanks to you!Ilove it just as much now as i did then,only thing missing is mum singing it to me!!was tough times for all of us...still hard to beleive its nearly 19yrs thats passed...couldn't have got through it without you by my side!! P.S I LOVE YOU MORE x x x
reply to MrCamycan=Managed to eventually see this song/video on youtube thanks too you!! love it just as much now as i did back then only thing missing is mum singing it too me!! was tough times for us all... still hard to beleive nearly 19yrs have passed....couldn't have got through it all without you by my side!!! P.S I LOVE YOU MORE x x x
Lost my wife in 1992 . Our Daughter phoned me asking if i could remember the song her Mum used to sing to her when she was small . I forgot how much music ment to us at that time . How the memories come flooding back . Tough times and happy days . This ones for you . I love you Suzie . xxxx
@MrCamycan managed to eventually see/hear the song...i love it just as much now as i did then!!only thing missing is mum singing it to me!! was tough times for all of us but the strength of the three of us we got through it together...its hard to beleive nearly 19yrs have passed,couldn't have got through it without you by my side!! THANK YOU. p.s....i love you more x x
Funny, my Mother sang this to me too! She would do so back when it was popular and being played on the radio. Lost my Mom in 92 and each time I hear this I think of her and hear her singing this to me. It hasn't been the same since I lost the best friend I will ever have. Will never stop missing her.
This is the song I always sang to my son when he was small. Now he's a grown man, we sing it to eachother. Always makes me cry, but they're happy tears.
This song is appropriate for me also. My mom passed away in 2007, we always had a close mother/child relationship. I'm currently going through a difficult time in my life, it's not easy solving the problem without the one person who would help make things right whenever things went wrong. Now everything is up to me. All I can do is carry on and hope everything will turn out OK. God bless you mom, you are loved and missed so very much.
Im 49 and a Single mother and i use to sing this to my daughter cause i had a Biracial baby and i went through hell with everyones smart comments and this song fit us perfect cause it was just me and her. and i would sing this and now shes 30 and she has seen its just me and her against the world. Perfect song
When I was very young and my parents went through a long bitter split my mom would sing this song to me. It took on another meaning when I was 20 and she passed away. Who knew a song she felt fit us when I was a baby would be appropriate 20 years later. I love and miss you mom although it has been 10 years I always think about the days of you and me against the world.
This song is very special to me. There was a time in 1975, my daughter was just 2 yrs. old. This song came on the radio at that moment and really touched my Heart. I had just broken up with my baby's daddy and thought it was the end of the world..When I looked in her eye's , she looked at me really hard and reached out to me with her little arm's at that momment I knew I had someone that needed me as much as I needed her. That amazing song was our song. My daughter and I against the world. TY JC
I am a father of 4 boys. They are growing up and 2 have moved away. The last 2 are 16 and 13 so they are getting more and more independent. Sometimes it hurts so much when they don't want to do things with me anymore, but I remember when it was just me and them together and they wanted to do things with me. I felt so invincable.We could handle anything together, but now it's ending and I feel like puff the magic dragon crawling into my cave no more needed by my boys
Mom you will forever be missed. Chris and I love you so very much. We are finally starting to move on......although it's been very very hard. You where such a wonderful mother, and Chris and I thank the Lord above for having you as our mother. You are dearly missed. You where too young to die, but thank God your suffering is over.
This was always my theme song for me and my kids. And when my son passed in "91" it became even more memorable. I just never thought it would be me mourning one of my children and not the other way around. So painful even now. If it wasn't for knowing that Lenoard is with Christ and my daughters I don't know what I would have done.
This song brings me great peace and memories and at the same time a little sad, I miss my Daddy, he passed away last year and this has always been our song, this is for all the single Dads out there that did Daddy and Mommy's job and I think I turned out pretty darn well and I am a terrific mom to my four children and my husband is a great father!
I remember this song coming on the car radio when I was a little girl and my mom took my hand and said this is "OUR" song. She passed away July 5, 2010 and this song was played at the visitation. It's a wonderful song that brings a beautiful memory of my childhood back to me. I miss her dearly and it's definitely the memories that help me carry on, she was my best friend.
I love this song, because their is no greater bond than the love between a mother and her child. I always think of my two boys. I am a single mother and I will never regret or hate the times we have together. We are stronger because we are one.
My Beautiful Daughter Kelly, I know that you are tired. You cannot run away forever. When you are feeling alone and that there is nobody on this crazy old earth that cares and loves you unconditionally and when you need a soft place to fall, you know that it is me who has always loved you unconditionally. That will never change. This was our song. Remember ? Look at this video and you will see you and me. Thoughts of you warm the corners of my keyboard and I love you dearly honey.. Mama
This song plus that makes me feel sad and deeply depressed. I am an adult still living at home and my mom got mad at me today and called me hurtful names, saying "I hate you" and swearing. She's done it many times when she gets frustrated at me for not doing my chores and such. It makes me feel so down that I think my mom doesn't love me anymore like she used to. Is it wrong to think or believe that?
@starrbeatlesqueen your mom still loves you so much...maybe the reason why she scoulded you everytime that you were not able to make your chores is it simply because it is for your own sake. Your mom wants you to learn that you need to be a responsible person not for her but for yourself. May that is one of the reasons why until now you are leaving with her...Just make things put into places and I am very much sure she will let you leave on your own.Don't think that she doesn't love you anymor
@starrbeatlesqueen Don't take it personally she is probably struggling with her own issues and since you are the one that's closest to her she takes it out on you. Have you told her that those things are hurtful to you and make you feel belittled. She might not be aware of it. I am sure she loves you. Maybe you both could you use some counseling. Keep a journal and write down what you feel. Good luck.
Thank you Helen for the gift of your sweet voice which give's Paul Wiliam's lyrics so much meaning. Only you could give this song the emotion and feeling it deserves, hence it will be forever yours, so that all the rest of us can enjoy, always.
Helen, Thank you for the great gift of your voice which give Paul William's lyrics so much meaning. This song was meant to be sung to by you, hence it will forever be yours for all of the rest of us to enjoy. God bless you.
i can listen to this song 7 times in a row, and cry every single time.
my grandma would sing this to my mom , and my mom would sing it to me,
we have the tune in a music box. my grandma died 3 years ago and i didn't get to say goodbye. i was really close to her. this is one of the hardest things to deal with<3
This song has always been and remains extra special...after my parents divorced in late "73, Mom would sing this to me all the time...for then, it was she and I, and till this very day has been, and will be until one of us parts....despite our own personal ups and downs through out the years, she is my best friend, and when I hear this song I just melt. Love u Mommy.
28 years ago today, the 29th of July, the Lord blessed me with my 2nd child.....On May 3rd, He took her home to heaven and as I sat in the ER that Spring night in May of 2003,,,,,, this song came out of the depths of my soul and even though she never spoke a word.......she heard me when I sang this song to her and tears rolled down her cheeks........I love her and long for her to this day....But I know, that she is with Jesus and I will see her again someday when He comes back to get us!
Thirty five years ago, my first daughter was born and this was "our" song. In two days, she will have her baby daughter by C-section. I sit here with tears in my eyes. I hope that her Jaedan will give her as much joy and loving memories in life as she has given me. I love you, Marcella!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, Slate... it's awfully young for both of you, for her to die and for you to lose her... this song must be really difficult for you to listen to... but take something from it... she'll always be with you and your sister, through all the days of your lives, she'll be there... God bless you both.
my mom just passed away yesturday, i found her dead yesturday morning, i'm 16 and my mom was 51, its going to be so hard not haveing her here with me for when i graduate, get married, and have children, but i know shes always going to be here with me. I love you so much mom! <3
I have always loved this song. It's always been dedicated to my mom who I love sooooo much. She always made sure that we both will make it and I admire her strength and love for her family and friends. I Thank God for you.
An awesome and beautiful song from an awesome and beautiful single mom. HEY PEEPS, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING. A song almost to beautiful to describe. LOVE YA HELEN, SINCERELY, Sgt. Ronald J. Campbell U.S. ARMY RET.
this song reminds me of my little sister , Heather, she left us because ryan killed my sister's kitten and she blamed him for everything that happened here and so to my little sister i send you this Message :FOR THE LOVE GOD PLEASE COME HOME I MISS YOU MOM MISSES YOU IT ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU SO PLEASE COME HOME YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HEART BROKEN ME AND MOM ARE SO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS AND GOD COME HOME AND STAY WITH US FOREVER PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom always sang this to me when I was little. She's still alive, but it makes me sad reading all these comments from ppl who have lost their moms :'(
This was the song for me and my daughter ever since it came out in 1977. It was just me and her for so many years. I never thought I would be the one that the memories would have to get me through. I miss you so much my sweet angel...it's been a long 3 years. I love you....from your Momma
I dont and have never cried or teared up at anything, this song by the great Helen Reddy has and always been the exception to the rule. Thank you Helen:)
I am posting this song for my daughter Kelly...it was our song when she was a little girl...no matter how old she gets she will always be my little girl...
For you mom on mother's day. I remember she use to sing this to me. Then remembering will have to do. Our memories alone will get us through (very difficult a lot of times). I love and miss u mom! Happy Mother's Day!
Part one: Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. Shes the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks. Shes the cool hand on your brow when your not well. Your mother is your laughter inside. She's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home
(Then remembering we'll have to do. Our memories alone will get us through.I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU MOM. BUT BOY IT IS SO HARD NOT HAVING YOU HERE). I LOVE U! I ALSO DEDICATE THIS BEAUTIFUL POEM I FOUND THAT I WILL HAVE TO POST SEPARATELY. TO YOU MOM and to all the mothers who have passed on. FOR YOU MOM ON MOTHER'S DAY! I LOVE YOU! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Such a beautiful video! Very nice job! This song makes me cry every time I hear it. No matter how many times I listen to it! Helen Reddy is truly amazing! I remember listening to this song growing up. I remember my mom singing it to me. It is one of her and my favorite songs. It is very sentimental to me. I miss her so! I dedicate this song to you mom for Mother's Day! You will always have a special place in my heart!
My mother used to sing this to me when around 4 or 5 (perhaps both ages). My mom is still alive & well, by the way. But, this song is still bitter sweet. Reason: this song will be almost UNBEARABLE to listen to (for ME anyway) most times I hear it.
i have never heard this song till now and my mom passed away in december of 09' wwe were the best of friends i miss her everyday and this song was beautiful i still can't stop crying
My mom was a single mother....she died in 1993, and she used to hear this song, and I stil miss her so much...it means so much to me... Its like our life is in this song! I love you momy... I love you too baby
My mom used to sing this song to me when i was little cuz it was just me and her. This song will always mean the world to me. Mom has been gone 8 years this year but when i hear this song i feel that she is still here
I love this song..Helen is amazing...It will be will 2 years tomorrow since my mom passed away..I know what you mean...it feels like yesterday...I dedicate this song to her....it is so beautiful...I love u mom and miss u so!
@Sunspree People dont go to heaven when they die, but hell doesnt exist and when i say people dont i mean not everyone only the people god chooses will go to heaven when people die they cant feel anything they just wait for god to resurrect them to a perfect remade paradise earth. :) truly beautiful song

Mothers are a true treasure from GOD. If you still have your mother, hug her, cherish her, love her, and never forget to tell her you love her. If there is a rift, try your very hardest to get of that rift, because when mom is gone, she is gone. As I said, she is a God-given treasure you can never ever replace once she is gone. You will learn things from mom that you can never learn anywhere else. I say that from experience. She does things for you that no one else things of or cares about.

After my dad and mom separated my dad relocated to another state. My mom and I got along for just a little while. I remember her playing this song, holding me as she sang it.. next month.. on the 3rd she has been gone a year. She never got to see me marry my fiancée or even have a baby.. and i never said goodbye. She and I got into an argument. I said I loved her before hanging up.. three months later she died... and I feel empty inside

I think of my sweet son, DJ, who is a gift from God every time I hear this song. We've been through so many difficult times together through the years and he would always say "Mommy, I love you and you're the best Mommy in the world". I felt like I could face anything.....

i often sang this to my daughter as a child.

My mom used to sing this song to me, even when I was still in her womb. The day before she died I played it for her. I only just recently was able to hear it. Funny thing it was really just me and her, she was a single parent, and I'm scared of clowns.

the boys were so small when my husband passed away, and there were several times that i would hug them tightly, and sing this song to them... they would stand with their little feet on top of mine as we would dance through the living room... it's now been 9 years since i lost seth, and the boys and i - well, we still face our struggles, but we're doing just fine... i must have done something right, as it is now the three of them who are "big and strong, and looking out for [me]"... :)

Funny, my Mother sang this to me too! She would do so back when it was popular and being played on the radio. Lost my Mom in 92 and each time I hear this I think of her and hear her singing this to me. It hasn't been the same since I lost the best friend I will ever have. Will never stop missing her.

This song is appropriate for me also. My mom passed away in 2007, we always had a close mother/child relationship. I'm currently going through a difficult time in my life, it's not easy solving the problem without the one person who would help make things right whenever things went wrong. Now everything is up to me. All I can do is carry on and hope everything will turn out OK. God bless you mom, you are loved and missed so very much.

Perfect song

When I was very young and my parents went through a long bitter split my mom would sing this song to me. It took on another meaning when I was 20 and she passed away. Who knew a song she felt fit us when I was a baby would be appropriate 20 years later. I love and miss you mom although it has been 10 years I always think about the days of you and me against the world.

This song is very special to me. There was a time in 1975, my daughter was just 2 yrs. old. This song came on the radio at that moment and really touched my Heart. I had just broken up with my baby's daddy and thought it was the end of the world..When I looked in her eye's , she looked at me really hard and reached out to me with her little arm's at that momment I knew I had someone that needed me as much as I needed her. That amazing song was our song. My daughter and I against the world. TY JC

I am a father of 4 boys. They are growing up and 2 have moved away. The last 2 are 16 and 13 so they are getting more and more independent. Sometimes it hurts so much when they don't want to do things with me anymore, but I remember when it was just me and them together and they wanted to do things with me. I felt so invincable.We could handle anything together, but now it's ending and I feel like puff the magic dragon crawling into my cave no more needed by my boys

Mom you will forever be missed. Chris and I love you so very much. We are finally starting to move on......although it's been very very hard. You where such a wonderful mother, and Chris and I thank the Lord above for having you as our mother. You are dearly missed. You where too young to die, but thank God your suffering is over.

This was always my theme song for me and my kids. And when my son passed in "91" it became even more memorable. I just never thought it would be me mourning one of my children and not the other way around. So painful even now. If it wasn't for knowing that Lenoard is with Christ and my daughters I don't know what I would have done.

This song brings me great peace and memories and at the same time a little sad, I miss my Daddy, he passed away last year and this has always been our song, this is for all the single Dads out there that did Daddy and Mommy's job and I think I turned out pretty darn well and I am a terrific mom to my four children and my husband is a great father!

I remember this song coming on the car radio when I was a little girl and my mom took my hand and said this is "OUR" song. She passed away July 5, 2010 and this song was played at the visitation. It's a wonderful song that brings a beautiful memory of my childhood back to me. I miss her dearly and it's definitely the memories that help me carry on, she was my best friend.

I love this song, because their is no greater bond than the love between a mother and her child. I always think of my two boys. I am a single mother and I will never regret or hate the times we have together. We are stronger because we are one.

My Beautiful Daughter Kelly, I know that you are tired. You cannot run away forever. When you are feeling alone and that there is nobody on this crazy old earth that cares and loves you unconditionally and when you need a soft place to fall, you know that it is me who has always loved you unconditionally. That will never change. This was our song. Remember ? Look at this video and you will see you and me. Thoughts of you warm the corners of my keyboard and I love you dearly honey.. Mama

"I love you, Mommy"
"I love you too, baby."
This song plus that makes me feel sad and deeply depressed. I am an adult still living at home and my mom got mad at me today and called me hurtful names, saying "I hate you" and swearing. She's done it many times when she gets frustrated at me for not doing my chores and such. It makes me feel so down that I think my mom doesn't love me anymore like she used to. Is it wrong to think or believe that?
starrbeatlesqueen 1 year ago
@starrbeatlesqueen your mom still loves you so much...maybe the reason why she scoulded you everytime that you were not able to make your chores is it simply because it is for your own sake. Your mom wants you to learn that you need to be a responsible person not for her but for yourself. May that is one of the reasons why until now you are leaving with her...Just make things put into places and I am very much sure she will let you leave on your own.Don't think that she doesn't love you anymor
cnessaashley1 1 year ago
@starrbeatlesqueen Don't take it personally she is probably struggling with her own issues and since you are the one that's closest to her she takes it out on you. Have you told her that those things are hurtful to you and make you feel belittled. She might not be aware of it. I am sure she loves you. Maybe you both could you use some counseling. Keep a journal and write down what you feel. Good luck.

Part one: Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. Shes the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks.

My mother used to sing this to me when around 4 or 5 (perhaps both ages). My mom is still alive & well, by the way. But, this song is still bitter sweet. Reason: this song will be almost UNBEARABLE to listen to (for ME anyway) most times I hear it.
