Love this song! Can anyone help me to find the German cover version for this? Bin mit diesem Lied in Deutschland aufgewachsen, kann es nict finden! Kann sich jemand erinnern, wer den Deutschen titel gesungen hat. Es fing an 2 NUR EINE KLEINE TRAENE VON DIR, SAGT MIR BITTE BLEIB HIER, WAS DU VERSCHWIEGEN HAST DAS SAGT SIE MIR, NUR EINE KLEINE TRAENE VON DIR" so aehnlich!!! The Buls Ives song is beautiful, so sincere !!!!!

@saxybarney

Meiner Meinung nach : " Nur eine kleine Träne von dir " ( 1962) Die  Tramps oder Die Nordwinds oder Ronny....!

This morning I was reflecting how we humans are so like each other. I'm from a different ancient culture that goes back 7000 years.We love, love stories, lamenting songs about sorrow of separation, elation of union, difficulties to consummate our love. This song is so beautiful. Comes from the heart and touches you. We are trying to keep a brave front and even act as clown to show levity even though our heart is broken. But try as we might, those little bitty tears let us down and overwhelms us

this is a very good piece of music sung by a truly good person-Burl Ives. A very fine actor as well. I think anybody thinking on running out the door on your other half should listen to this tune very carefully. No matter how tough we think we are, this hits it on the nailhead.

Cheers mate. Great song!

Wow Burl was cool, this song is awesome, " Spoiled my act as a clown" Damn right

[JKBTeacher]

absolutely the best...

[jimwalsh2001]

Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves and Sinatra are all guys who did a lot with a limited range...

Very Good Classic Sung By a memorable Man Thanks For posting

[KATEisFAB]

My dad sang this to me when I was a baby. :)

[1988dongiovanni]

Thanks for posting this - reminds me of my Granda who thought Burl Ives was great

[mprmn340]

Yes John1948Two KK is technically good but lacks the magic timber in his voice like Burl Ives with his base tones. Also agree that KK wrote good songs. Incidentally, My younger relatives don't seem to appreciate these things, prefering to listen to songs with terrible F** this and that lyrics. They don't even have tune...and can't sing. Ahhh!! Good to find a like minded people on this page.

[mprmn340]

Good question. I can't say I know, but I would be interested to know if anyone else sang in the same narrow range Burl Ives did, and did it as well. (Please no one say Willy Nelson...I really do mean someone who can sing)

[John1948TwoC]

@mprmn340 I think Kris Kristofferson had an even narrower range but I would never classify him as a good singer. He was a great song writer and could do some songs well enough for the music and his emotion to carry the day. I often enjoy listening to Kris.

[shmuli9]

@mprmn340 Mick Jagger.

[mprmn340]

Burl Ives was truly unique. He may have had only a 2 octave singing voice but what he lacked in range he more than made up with being able to sing every word like he meant it, and did so beautiflly. He also had an incredible ability to break into a song with an ease I've never seen others do.

[John1948TwoC]

@mprmn340 What is an average range? How many octaves?

[DarkquestDeathhunter]

@John1948TwoC 3

One of the best love songs I've heard in my life.

[GooglFascists]

Burl Ives was so much a part of America for so long between the 50s and

70s when someone said "Folk Singer" everybody thought: BURL IVES.

Sadly if such a talent were around today all people would be concerned

with is that he was FAT.

Ives was a really good movie actor, too. "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" is one

of his best as are his Disney movies. One of his greatest roles was in

the movie "Wind Across The Everglades", as "Cottonmouth". There's

nobody around like Ives now. Not even close!

French version by Claude François and "the Gam's".

Mr Personke introduced us to Burl Ives when he was our 6th grade teacher at Captain Raymond Collins School. Lakewood, CA 1955-1956. He tried to give us culture. He was a GREAT teacher. None like that around these days.

[Ratgrappler]

As a kid I could swear Burl Ives was the same guy that sang Happy Happy, Joy Joy.

[g1h2nedlaw]

Yes, still playing this after 50 years on the road. Timeless.

[jacksoapable68]

First heard a bit of this song on a Toyota advert a couple of years ago, it had a nice animation in it too. Really touches the heart.
