Glad he remade this with some soul

[brightchance]

When I leave this world I will go with a clear conscience knowing I never missed a single heartbeat or footstep of my son. Love this song!!!

[russianfantastico]

Wow it's like two different guys.

[Kelspeed1972]

Mac lived at 123 Ass Kick St. - I hope he goes to Heaven abd smells those roses.

I haven' heard this song in more than a quarter of a century but sang right along like it was yesterday

[TTTrixie]

My eldest sister used to hang with Mac in Vegas back in the 70s. I've always felt such a connection with him.

This song was sung by Albert West (from Holland) and it was an unbelievable album....I can't find it anywhere unforunately!! This version is ok by Mac Davis, but I already heard a better one.....

[brad04970]

Does anyone know who the backup singers are? they sang the grass won't pay us no mine with Elvis Presley

If everyone took the time to smell the roses and count their blessings there might be less accidents and less divorces

[djdavemick]

Fine tune. Dated, but still fine.

I love this song. It can always put me in the right frame of mind. This song not only has a good message. It also has just the right inspiration. I love it.

[mowm88]

I have NOT heard this in ages. Thanks for posting.

[moparterryfy]

I've been a big fan since I was a little kid in the early/mid 70's....my favorite singer/songwriter...God Bless Ya Mac!

[scrodboy61]

Wow I'm almost 50 and remember this song when i was young. I listen to the radio all the time and haven't heard this song in almost 30 years....I don't know why it's not played because it is a beautiful song and I'm glad i came across it

[snowrocket]

A good, upbeat, positive song that I fondly remember from when I was a kid in the seventies. It has a good message, but NEVER gets any airplay anywhere, which is a little surprising to me. Except for now, I probably haven't heard this in thirty years. It's just as great as I remember, though.

[strugglingman1]

my favourite when i was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s...thank You Jesus

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #9 pop, #40 country. I always thought Mac wrote it, with help from Doc Severinsen. God bless!

[7beers]

Don't forget #1 adult contempo, silly!

[shootinair]

@DaveWollenberg and if a Contemporary Christian chart existed back then I'm sure this song would be at or near the top. It has a strong inspirational message.

[inthe11thhour]

I saw him in person!

[sprinter440]

I agree with dolly. Life is way too short - love while you can.

[dolly244]

We all should take this advice today! Peace

[eaglesgeo1]

Yes we should!!!!!

[martinmary555]
