  • Great Song!

  • LUV!!!

  • Today Feb 06, 1977. The anniversary of my forever love. I miss you sooo much, darlin'. I want to join you soon. <3's

  • Skywriting by word of mouth. I hear you John Lennon. JohnHeartPaul forever.

  • @takemebackJPGR ...not Beatles, but a shout out to Paul and John is awesome none-the-less.

  • @JimmyFraska I know it's NOT the Beatles :) John has a book he wrote called 'Skywriting by word of mouth' and Yoko released it after he died. He mentions Paul's favorite song by the Beach Boys called 'God Only Knows' and then a few lines down he say's "Never my love," he sang." I think John Lennon loved this song is what I meant. ;)

  • idiot, you got the lyrics wrong.

  • Such innocense. sp. we were all in denial and dillusion back in the 50s and 60s. But as long as we thought we were happy and all was good, Did it really matter?

  • So many people try to wreck wonderful relationships - and fail!

    This song says why this this is so - a strong bond cannot be broken.

    Absolutely a great oldie.

  • beautiful

  • This song sunk deep. I married 8 times. I loved each and every one of them. It ripped my heart out each time the marriages failed. Then, once again, the world was reborn. Today, as an old fart, I have a young wife and no debts. Somehow, I think I did alright. I have my friends fooled anyway. What else matters?

  • @DrHemlock94022 Are you kidding??

  • 1967

  • what year was this song out? 1967 or 68?

  • Dear Cheryl, Come back to me.

  • The Association had a great, great sound. They're so underrated it's criminal.

  • What a wonderful and rare story you have. Great song, well remembered. I recently learned that Clark Burroughs of the Hi-Lo's did the arranging for much of this album, Insingt-Out. Check out his website. He recently passed, He was a great lead singer and arranger who sang with the Hi-Lo's.

  • Soy de Peru tengo 23 años de edad y cubre mi alma de emocion cada vez que escucho ésta cancíon aunque no sea de mi generacion pero la buena música se difunde, se disfruta,se siente y se comparte.Yo, Melómano por excelencia un sucinto tributo a la gloriosa música que trasciende en los tiempos.

  • This will be OUR wedding song.. O M G!! Beautiful !! Love you babe <3

  • Innocent and yet stunning. I first heard this tune back in 1980 when I was a little kid and it still sounds fresh and delightful. Definitely an eternal hit.

  • Great tune, enjoyed it when I was a youngster in the '60's, still sounds as great as ever, a sign of a true classic.

  • @frieda1889 I wish you the best with your honey and a happy life

  • My hunnie just dedicated this beautiful song to me. ♥

  • the best song of its time no song could top it just listen to the lyrics so meaningful and touching

  • @jackP927 Amen, 

  • This song is the definition of a classic---stunning lyrics, message, funky yet sweet arrangement....timeless.

  • First dance at the age of 12 to a boy I "loved" at the time...will always feel that way every time I hear this song..Im still slow dancing with Steve...and at 55 that;s a sweet memory...thanks!

  • Love songs of the 60's will never be again. It's a sham, never my love, Got to love it !!!

  • great lovely tune here.i like these guys music.if a lot of today's pop music get rid of a lot of that electronic sounds in their music and put in real music and better lyrics,their music would not sound terrible these days.

  • I will use this song for my next possible union

  • Awoke for Sunday Church w/ this Soothing Song on the Radio.

    Sunday Blessings.

    1.2 Samuel 7:15

    But my love will never be taken away from him,.......

  • this was my mother and fathers sons she's been gone for 3 years this november i will miss her

  • I think you did really well.

  • Es muy linda, verry romantic...soo beautiful...

  • Hola, soy Rita Cabrera, chilena de topmo y lomo, mi adolescencia en mi país la viví con ésta canción, entre pelos largos y minifaldas pasé mi juventud.

  • I love all the silhouetted pictures.

  • This tune is by far ahead of its time. No matter how old I get or how life may be for me at the time. This tune brings forth a great feeling. This music is what makes life great. Along with people who feel the same way. The tune and the words are so well done. I created a book with this song and so many others that etch our existence at heart. Angel Boy published by EXLIBRIS. I want to continue my quest to put feeling into words that move you like music does.

  • what wonderful harmonies this band had! ... it's a shame that great singing is missing in todays music.

  • Still beautiful!

  • great song. thanx.

  • This is soooo good. Bought it at the time.

  •  timeless

    .

  • A marriage song if there ever was one!

  • Just really amazing. I would take this over Lady Gaga any day.

  • The 60's was the Golden Age of music and musicians, the grandeur and glory of an era now buried in the confusion, noise, and maelstrom of today's barbaric and mutilated sound. But take heart, the imprint and influence it left remain forever like the glorious and immortal arts of the Renaissance like those of da Vinci, Michaelangelo. Titian, Rembrandt, etc.

  • I'm surprised that the Addrisis didn't think to put a comma,between "Never', and 'my'. That would've been the proper punctuation. Anyhoo, The Association hit #2 in Billboard, 10-7-67. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

  • Beautiful song, amazing lyrics and wonderful interpretation!

  • A girl just told me she loved me last night. I didn't say it back, even though it was a dream come true. I was just so shocked that she actually said she would marry me and now I'm stuck just thinking what just happened. Omg I'm in love

  • This is the best organ solo in all of pop music.

  • @aalynch30 I'd have to give that one to Light My Fire. But this one is great.

  • This and "Cherish" have to be two among the most romantic ballads.

  • Never my love.I know Baby you told me just a few shorts weeks ago you wanted to marry me and you would never leave me unless there was a real good reason and we had alot of fun together again all summer going to the lake even though we had to take a cab and pay the cab driver  a fortune and if we could i would marry you tommorrow and my heart will always be with you no matter where you are ill always love you forever love.

  • #2 on BMG list of top selling songs(or something like that) after some Lennon/McCartney song. ???

  • Thanks so much; undoubtedly one of the greatest love songs ever written!

  • @Lonergan01 ONE of the greatest, it was, but THE greatest , at least in one person's opinion has to be THREE TIMES A LADY by the Commodores.

  • Un verdadero poema como muchas otras de sus canciones !

  • the best song i ever heard, this song explained how difficult its dealt with your couple, greetings again from PERU.

  • a good song by the ASSOCIATION, best song i ever had, greetings from PERU.

  • Beautiful video... you got one key word wrong... It's "depend on you" not "defend".

  • Da da da da da da da da...

  • Thank you for an oldie but a goodie~ *hugs*

  • 11 people are incapable of emotion and feeling.

  • Omigosh! Let's not forget "nights in white Satin...by the Moody Blues.

  • Don't forget to add Precious and Few by climax ( no pun intended) to that list of great songs and also Aquarius by the fifth dimension. Hey these songs are from my parents day but all the romance led to them having me. ^_ ^

  • If you like this wonderful song,I'm certain you'd enjoy "Everything That Touches You",also by this great group!

  • So romantic.

  • Do people pay to get their video put on the Suggestions list to the right? What the $@#&* is with the fitness video at the top? I came here to listen to a beautiful classic song not be lead to that crap!

  • @02passionfruit And don't forget "Everything that Touches You"!

  • They had such smooth voices! This and Cherish are probably my favorites by them!

    Thanks!

  • Some would perhaps believe that love lasts forever, and if people still listen to music after we're gone then this song will to as well.

  • July 29th 2011..........married 33 years today to a wonderful lady who started out a good friend in college. 33 years later she has the title of my best friend. This one of many songs I dedicate to the love of my life. I am praying for 33 more. Great memory song from a great music era.

  • @hotstuffandicecream

    I love stories like this <3 Congratulations to the both of you. You're an inspiration to us all. We just got married in September and this song was a close second choice for our first dance song. Even though it wasn't the final choice, it still reminds us both of planning the wedding and how much we love eachother.

    Here's to 33 more for you both and such an everlasting love to all married couples!

  • So romantic song.... What happened to my first crush? This song brings back my younger days

  • i still mean this to the first girl I dedicated it too..... wherever she is

  • Pure 60's....sweeet

  • Nice group.  Nice song.

  • i think of my older brother who had a rough life and ended up committing suicide at 35 :(

  • @reginafromrio So sorry for your loss...

  • the guy who said you are lucky if you've loved for a minute.....is so right

  • Very nearly lame as hell. It's still better than the rest.

  • You have nothing to apologize for,Thank you so much...

  • I was in Vietnam and my wife found a b/f when i was gone. I wrote her under ponchos when it was raining, at night with nothing but the moon to see bye, I wrote her when I was scared for my life but I never spoke of my conditions. I didn't want to worry her. She wasn't worried, they were out spending the allotment I had made out to her. If you ever had love, even for moment you have been blessed. Always remember, you would have never known what the future held. (This is not mu comp)

  • @cymbali Your post has made me cry. Bless your heart and God Bless you for all your sacrifices for us back home. My brother was there, too, and we lost him to Agent Orange in April of 2010. My love goes out to all of you Vietnam Veterans.

  • @cymbali That's sad, God bless you.

  • @cymbali 

  • @cymbali 

  • I'M NOT SURE IF I;M DOING THIS RIGHT...SO I'LL TRY IT AGAIN ...THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN VIETNAM...I KNOW HOW AWFUL YOU GUYS WERE TREATED WHEN YOU CAME HOME..I LOST SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS OVER THERE..YOU HAVE MY UTMOST RESPECT. MARYJANE

  • you will see good days ahead, cymbali. Never mind the loss.

  • This was our first dance as husband and wife on 1/1/11 :)

  • according to BMI, this is the second most played song of all time (second only to "Yesterday" by the Beatles) the royalties off this song have been tremendous without doubt. if they only get a few pennies per play, your still talking MULTI millions of dollars. cool song too...has a bit of the stripped down Bacharach influence to it. Never get tired of it.

  • @jimmypage444 No, it was second only to You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', Barry Mann, Phil Spector, Cynthia Weil performed by the The Righteous Brothers. Yesterday was number 3.

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell ~ The love of my life, Kathy, and may have been at the same concert! It was June of 1968 at Melodyland in Anaheim, California. The venue was "in the round" (circular stage that actually could rotate). It seems like their was another act as well but I can't quite remember for sure. AND I was drafted in Feb '69 and went off to Vietnam engaged to her but on 04 Aug 69 I received a letter than began, "Ronnie, I simply cannot wait for you." She's never left my heart.

  • @mystikrythms-Thank you for the kind words. God Bless.

  • No need to apologize. At least you've shared something beautiful.

  • To the love of my life. Sam this is for you. Its taken a long time for both of us to find each other, but now that we have I want you to know, I will always always love you and strive to make you as happy as you made me. I cannot tell you how much you have filled my heart with happiness...I love you so much honey! Love you, Dawn

  • lame...and superb! 

  • reminds me of all the love song tapes i made for the ladies over the years, beautiful tune!!!

  • 4vrGodgrlIMshell...Wow, that is what I call pure love.

  • extremely beautiful and musically challenging

  • @jeang287Would you be so kind as to reserve a seat for me if you happen to find this ever elusive time machine?

  • Where have all the years gone? Even for just a fleeting moment, this brings me back to my youth when i healthy and full of vigor....no fun getting old. Oh well, at least there's the memories.

  • @MrSarobs Indeed, the memories. Just be thankful if you have someone to share them with. Music has been the soundtrack to my life and times.

  • Very beautiful!!!

  • Well Ruth, I still miss you. I hope you are happy wherever you are. Ran into your nephew Hugh at a lacrosse event several years ago, asked him about you. All the best to you.  This song still brings you to mind. :D

  • great song

  • "Timeless . . ."

  • I Loved It Then, Love It Today~

    Tender Love Song.

  • Best love song of all time. Real talk.

  • marriage is between god and church not the state. man is only involved because they get a proffit out of it,,,thats all.

  • I was in the 7th grade in 1977, and everytime this song came on, I would get a lump in my throat, because the guy I had such a crush on seemed to always be somewhere around. He was different, he couldn't hear. The other girls ignored him. But, to me he was a dream come true. I would sit and think of him holding my hand, maybe a kiss. I look back and remember I learned this song in sign language. I was playing it one day, doing the sign language, and he watching me.

  • @Kimmell2010 now this is a real woman with a heart of gold !!!!!!

  • great song!!!!

  • They just don't make 'em this good anymore...today you can't understand much of what they are saying, and would be embarrassed if you could.

  • I just received this music video from my High School sweetheart who has been searching for me for almost 40 years! Thank you Roger, for finding me and bringing me so much happiness these past 2 weeks. I love you!!!!

    To all of those watching and listening, never let that true first love get away-beautiful song and video. bldelger

  • "I apologize about my mistakes in the lyrics, hoping that you'll enjoy watching, thank you very much".  .......never my love.....

  • It's very touching that you have posted this here.  I hope, in some way, it helps you to accept the pain of a first love lost. Honor him with your sweet memories of this time. I wish you peace.

  • i love this video so much and much more i love the song so much;)

  • Our song. Love you Ralph<3

  • My best friend and boyfriend took me to Melodyland Theater back in the 1960's to see The Association. We were high school sweethearts. He planned the most romantic evening. The concert, formal dinner reservation afterwards near Disneyland. It was the first time he put his arm around me, when they sang, "NEVER MY LOVE". It was heaven. I told God, one sweet day, I was going to marry him. Then Vietnam. He enlisted. We became lost to each other. I've never stopped loving him.

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell - That is sooooo sad! But me thinks Jesus found you! God bless you!

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell Lost to each other. Do you mean you lost track of him?

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell That is a long time to be on the rebound.

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell I would love to go back with you in your time machine, but , take me back please to at least 1970, so i can correct some,mistakes I made in high school, and I will work my way back from there(smile)!!!

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell So I guess you didn't marry him? That makes me sad...Have you ever tried to find him?

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell Wow.....that story made my eyes well with tears.....Enough said.............

  • @4vrGodsgrlMshell so sad but so sweet at the same time ! i'm soo crying right now !
