  • Love the song & video may God bless y'all with many more years :)

  • I'm happy for you for having a wonderful family. God bless.

  • HEY ALL, I made this video. Thanks for the comments! Update: My parents are still very much happily in love. This Thanksgiving, my dad said, ""For as long as I can remember, even when we were dating, I have felt vaguely uncomfortable if I wasn't with your mother. She'll go to the store, and I'll be like, 'Where is your mother?! Ohhh, the store'. She'll go to a conference and I'll be like, 'Where is your mother?! Oh, damn conference!' It's like our lives go together because we want them to."

  • @mgclark2 I had this record when I was 8 years old, had it on CD, have it on my computer now, but I occasionally still watch this video for some reason when I want to hear this song, even though I don't know you fine people. Great job on the vid.

    By the way, I found this when I was looking for live versions or covers of this song, which I have had no luck finding...

  • I watch this video at least once a week - LOVE IT! It brings a tear to my eye every time! Thanks for posting it. Blessings to you and your wonderful family!

    I should have known, the transition effects looked very familiar.

  • RIP Tammy.... this was your song & you died way to young..... I'll never forget

  • Beautiful video. So very nice to see parents being Good Parents, & enjoying it!  I am so tired of seeing & hearing about idiots having kids when they have absolutely have no clue about anything in the first place. All they wind up doing is making a f**cked up adult. :(( Thx for making your video. :o)

    AND PEOPLE! JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE A BABY, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD! USE BIRTH CONTROL!!!!

  • No me canso de ver este video....saludos desde Peru!!!

  • happy family, congratulations

  • Looks like a great life! Excellent!

  • Oh my...this has allways been my favorite. I remember being shoved down in the floor board of my sister's Firebird with an 8 track so that she can cruise alone, blaring LoverBoy and CCB. Oh, what memories. I came along in '76....but I loved what I had of the 80's. It's so nice to see a sweet, fun, loving couple and then the babies....and how they make life so much fun...and the whole marriage looks so happy and they look so in love. I just want to cry and hug you all.

  • I was searching for this song and came across your video...Beautiful! God Bless

  • Aww man unbelievable video, there could never be a better present then this!

  • She never ages..........amazing!

  • Hi Guys, greetings from the UK. Your family represent all thats great about the USA. What a fantastic montage of a lovely family. Well done. Simple things are often the most effective and this was simply fantastic. All the best to you.

  • Great video, cool song...you're from the Kansas City area aren't you, definitely the midwest.

  • CBB were the soundtrack of my life in the 80's - I was so in love. married the most wonderful man and we had a beautiful clever boy. Sadly he was murdered in 1996 when he was just 40 years old and I miss him every day

  • I am sorry for your loss! Did they catch the bad guy?

  • Yes, thanks for asking. It took 9 years to find his remains and then within days they arrested the guy - and would you believe, all this 2 weeks before my wedding to my 2nd husband. After 9 years of not knowing what happened it was traumatic but a relief to finally know what happened.

  • I can't even think of better present, wow , great job....this song as a different meaning to me ,,,, but i like your's better :)

  • I never tire of watching this video. Your family is so beautiful! (as is the song) =)

  • I watch this video all the time. Thanks again for posting it. So touching. Your mom hasn't aged a DAY!

  • You kids are so lucky to have parent who even have pics like those :) Some of us wish we would have had that kind of lovin our house! XOXO to you... It's sad for some of us whose parents never even went to parent/teacher conferences etc... so kiss eachother! Nice you did this for them,, I'm crying feeling sad about my craapy ubringing.

  • Hi there Iowaswimmer746, I basically had the same kind of upbringing you did probably even worse but I still remember the wise words of a friend who told me "When you have your own family, mold it into have you want it to be" and do you worry about where you came from but focus on where you want to go!!

    P.S. Eventhought I am from Texas, I attended graduate school at the University of Iowa from 1994 through 1996!! Go Hawkeyes!!

  • wow..very nice video..can tell in their smiles that they are still in love after 26 years. This video inspires me thanks for sharing it. ..you have a wonderful family.Your mom is really beautiful.. May they have many more anniversaries to come!!! God Bless ..

  • nice indeed.

  • Very Immature of you...Youve obviously never been in Love OR youre too afraid of Everything??

  • This is a very wonderful and touching video, you did a great job! Your mother is beautiful, she doesn't look like she has aged a bit. May they enjoy many, many more anniversaries!

  • You did a wonderful job. The son, the pictures, everything is beautiful. Every time I watch this I start crying.

  • Always my favorite youtube video, and song. Bless your family! =)

  • Your mom's incredible.

  • I've watched this video so many times in the past. It's my favorite love song, and by far the best video on youtube. Incredible family, Mom looks like she just stepped out of a photo from their wedding, still. Dad hasn't turned out too shabby either, one of those "well aging" guys. I laugh when I see this because I also have the good fortune of marrying a woman who just continues to defy time and the birth of three kids. Myself, you can tell by my hairline that I have three daughters now.

  • What a beautiful video. My marriage didn't work out but I'm glad your parents' did. Gorgeous family.

  • I can't comment right now!! I'm too busy crying

  • Just luv this song Family is everything.

  • thank you, i totally enjoyed your video, brought a tear to my eye. both mum and dad have got better with age.

  • This video brings tears to my eyes. I hope they have many, many more anniversaries.

  • Beautiful Video!!!

  • Great video and a great gift to your Mom & Dad. What a wonderful family. It made me cry, thinking about my own parents and how they had 44 & 1/2 years together before we lost Mom this past November.

    Thank your for sharing this with the world..

You have a wonderful family and you are such a loving, thoughful daughter! God bless you always for loving your parents that much!

  • that was amazing...

  • Great Vid, Lovely Family...

  • This video is very well done. You can see the love in this couples eyes! When IM down I visit this one! It always cheers me up. Congrats to them!

  • Very well done and impressive indeed!  I bet the couple in this video are an outstanding pair! Great song too.

  • My sister sent me the link to this video because she thought it would be a good song for my band to cover. I too, like so many others, was moved by the video. It's a wonderful blessing from God that through him you've touched so many people with this expression of love for your family. That after 2 years you're still responding to viewers comments, much is revealed about the goodness of your character. You are so right. God is great. Peace and take care.

  • Tommy is this our song

  • This is beautiful. Your mom is beautiful! I think this is an amazing thing you did for your parents. You and I are probably around the same age, and this really touches my heart and makes me think about how lucky I am to have a great family too.

  • such an awesome tribute. you may feel lucky but i bet your parents do too. guess there is hope for us all knowing that some kids love there parents.

    c

  • What a great tribute! This song was a perfect choice too...and it's one I haven't heard in 20 years or so. Sure wish I could download a copy of it somewhere.

  • WoW, very nice. :-)

  • As a parent, I wish my children would do something for me, as you have done for your parents. Lucky to have you as their child.

  • april 1978? possibly the peak of human history, i was there and people were better, life was better, and the world seemed a safer place, at least in mechanicsburg penna.

  • very nice video

    should do the second part

  • I just now skimmed all the other comments. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who noticed that your lovely Mom does not age!!! Lucky you 'cause you look just like her. :-D

  • This is amazing! It looks professionally done and is from the heart. I bet it's the best gift your parents ever got.

  • This should be a Danny and Delinda song from Las Vegas,I miss that show!!!

  • standing ovation!

  • great job....just great.

  • god, i'm crying! this is gorgeous

  • This is in my favorites and I always come back to it :-)

    Congratulations on such a warm and happy video you've made.

  • WOW , how beautiful this video is, i love how you did this, but this song is to a child hood friend, RIP Tammy

  • Nice work. I think the Climax Blues Band would be flattered that you put such wonderful memories to their song.

  • PERFECT!!!!!

  • This was the first vid I put in my faves- I always come back to it---- it's wonderful, thanks again for posting!

  • you did a great job. i think you should consider doing this for others.
