My husband of 20 years was 14 yrs older than I and though he passed away 10 years ago, I miss him dearly...RIP Clyde, you'll always be remembered as the greatest love of my life. This song reminds me of you every time I hear it.
I use to goto schoolwith Ray's youngest daughter... and I started really getting to Dr. Hook... with that said my boyfriend now is 14 years older than me and I thought of him today when I heard this song... thanks Dr hook
listen dr hook sings it his way and thats the way it should be. every body that wrote a song shall have reconition for the song the wrote. and dr hook sing brilliant..
Couple More Years, Sylvia's Mother, Last Mornin, Carry Me, Carrie. All beautiful Dr Hook songs. All sung with such passion. To me one of the best bands of the 70's.
But by the same token, Waylon had the same passion and the feeling for a song and how it should be sung. Both Waylon and Dr. Hook, in my opinion, never got the kind of reconition they deserved. Rest In Peace Waylon.
@hoopcat100 You talking about Waylon Jennings, not enough recognition, man where you been. One of the most recognizable Country Stars of our time . Male vocalist of year in 75. Hall of fame in 2001 Grammy awards . Since the sixties one of the best. Plenty of recognition.
Couple More Years, Sylvia's Mother, Last Mornin, Carry Me, Carrie. All beautiful Dr Hook songs. All sung with such passion. To me one of the best bands of the 70's.
Beautiful, beautiful song and how about Dr Hook? He sings from the heart!!! Just love it. Thank you so much for uploading it. I agree about Waylon, his version really hits the spot, emotionally. But what a great song!!!
Waylon was the man who did a lot of songs, and people come along to try to pick it up after him. Not happening. No disrespect to the great band, Dr Hook, it's just that every song has one person who can do it right and Waylon is , by comparison, the greatest of them all.
My ex husband of 15 yrs played this to me once in the wooing stage which was cute at the time! He was 17 yrs older than me, once married he turned into control freak monster & worse but he was right in some respect as when I found the man 17 yrs younger than me strong & tall i would sing the same to him & he didn't care about age at all even tho he was a young eagle!!. Best years of my life! xxx
Thats great music for you, I was just listening to "Cover of the Rolling Stone" laughing my ass off and less than halfway through the next song (this one), eyes are all watered up..
Wow never knew it was about his daughter. I assumed it was a younger woman as I have loved a man 11yrs my senior since I was a child it helped me to understand why we could never be.
Sitting a bar I put this song on and as I listened 2 it I realized he was singing bout his daughter and broke heart and all kinda let up.Very cool feeling when love of a child can push that dang cloud back and let some light in yall.
This song always makes me think of my Dad.. ( even thought he probaly has never heard of it LOL) .. and how he must have felt when he would try to tell stuff me as a teenager and I wasn't listening. all I could hear was those "wild eagles call"
DAMN!!!!It seems to me that when I listen to music I grew up with,60s/70s,it seems to me that its the only music that makes any sense anymore.The good old days are still alive.
Waylon and Dr hook both did a outstanding job on this song..when i want to hear it when my soul needs soothed some i turn to Dr hooks version tho and to Waylon and jessie on some other stuff
This song is so helpful to keep in mind ever so often - I've got a couple more (eight, to be excact) years on my hubby, and some times I just have to remember that things I take for granted experiences of life, he still have to live through :)
Ive still got a couple more years on you babe,but we have had to fall.but we get up and and walk some more.I love you Maryetta.Baby,your the greatest !!!!!
My father's favorite song. He used to when i was a little girl dance me around the living room and sing this. He has passed now for 5 years and i have the words "Couple More Years" tattooed around my wrist and each and everyday i look at it and listen to this song and think of Him. It brings Him back to me . Thank You for the share
Good song well done but sure not Waylon. I guess that is kind of unfair to say because nobody can ever compare favourably to Waylon. Good tune!!!

Almost all songs by the fabulous Dr. Hook were written by Shel Silverstien- a very talented man who left us too soon.

My love, and now ex girlfriend is 15 years my junior, this song just speaks to me.
"Now saying goodbye girl, don't never come easy at all
But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearing them young eagles call
And someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall
And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all"
