Fantastic song and a succinct video with that vintage soft rock feel. The Dick's Sporting Goods closest to my house used to play this non-stop and so does WARM 101.3, a local radio station. Not my type of music but this is definitely one of my favorite tracks of all time. Monumentally sincere lyrics, and delivered so intently. CLASSIC music, especially the chorus, bravo!
When this song is over, turn off your computer and call your dad right now people. Tell him you love him (or get as close to saying that as you can). Doesn't matter if you feel silly. Just do it anyway. And then, next time it'll be easier to say what you want. Just seize the day while you still can!
And yes, I will too. My dad is seriously ill at present and we don't know what's going to happen. I'm not sure if I've told him everything I want to yet, but I'm getting there.
Appreciate the people you love-and say it loud say it clear,you can listen as well as you hear -its too late when we die to admit we dont see eye to eye, -
R.I.P. Camilo Alberto Rodriguez,i mss you brother///
I am sorry, gabe1956, that your experience with your dad was that painful -that makes me sad. I hope you've been able to find a good male father figure in your life. God bless you...
o either of my parents for 5 years....they decided they didnt want to come to my wedding....have two children who are so beautiful....my wife has fought cancer since our wedding day and she is only 36....i know where i stand...
my names myke when i here this song i loved my dad he was my roll model when i was in hospital he look a\fter me i used cry bitterly at the song i hope that yu shouldened worry there in heaven hopefully yu should have forgave yur father thats a shame yu didnt
i hope yu can fined it in yu heart to forgive yur dad
To Widmerpool99: Already lost him. Clearly, you don't get it. There's still time for you to get it 'in the living years'. Suggest you get yourself into a good bible based Church. Accept Jesus as your personal savior. Good luck.
I loved this song as a kid, don't think I fully understood it back than. Now it makes me cry almost a year after my Dad passed away. I never really got along with him from my teen years and on.
This song hits the heart hard. Thankfully, the Lord has provided a way for us to say what we did not get a chance to say during 'the living years'. Make no mistake about it, life is difficult. Fight the good fight and never lose faith. Heaven is for eternity--plenty of time to say what you need to say. Even still, it is hard not to get emotional for the very same reasons many of you listed.
this song makes u enjoy what u got in life enjoy your parents even if u dont get along when they die u will wish u did i know this now and its to late
I feel your pain. I lost my father November 1st 2010, and my mom died just a few month ago on November 7th, 2011. I lost them both less than a year apart. There are a lot of things I wish I had said to both of them. I really miss them so much......
i come across this song about a month after my dad passed away....his funeral woz held in newzealand wen i returned 2 australia for work i woz finding it tough, bit sad at work one day i woz deep in thought thinkin about him, then this song played on the radio i woz blowin away it woz almost like he woz talkin 2 me thru this song...i got the shivers up my neck lol...so wen ever i start missin him i just listen 2 this miss u dad
I hear this song, and i feel empty. Where is he? Dead thats where, and now here i am making the same mistakes, even though i have a child of my own. So if i can't change my ways he will be here on this page 20 years from now saying the same thing. Why can't i break the cycle?
Dad was a air corps officer and decorated pilot. He was also a great jazz musician after the war. He was tough, and I still have the scars from being sailed across the room if I "talked back". I didn't speak to him for 10 years after I left home when mom died. After my son was born, he tried in every way he knew to be the father and grandfather I hoped he would be. I spent years hating a man I finally grew to understand, to really know him for only 6 years. So many wasted years. So many!
I loved this video as a kid, even before I fully understood the significance that I do now as an adult. I was adopted when I was two months old. The father I know and the father that raised me is not only my role model, but also my best friend. Not a day goes by without me telling him that I was always meant to be his son.
Dear friend, if you want to listen to this song again as well as an endless number of love songs I suggest you visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - look for the URL in Google (search Musica para Mimos). Greatest romantic hits of all times!!!
This is one of my favorite songs. My father was not in my life and still is not. But My God had a backup plan.He gave me a grandfather that was always there for me. He died when i was 26 years old. To this day i miss him terribly bad. i still have those wonderful memories of him and the great qualities that he instilled in my life. I am 39yrs old now and i still cherish the time we had together. The last 2yrs of his life i was his caregiver, i just gave back the luv he had given me ALL MY LIFE.
@teddypoohrenee my dad died when I was 16 this song makes me think of him he wasn't there for most my life. He missed me getting married and having children. I miss him wish I would have been more mature and knew how to tell him what he meant to me. In March it will be 28 years since he passed and man I miss him
@teddypoohrenee Thank you for sharing, Brother. A Son NEEDS his Father; most cannot, will not admit it ... Men need Men. My Father & I were estranged for almost 6 years & YOU DON'T GET THAT TIME BACK. Fortunately, God's Grace & my initiative brought us back together before he left this world forever —we had eight MORE years, before he made the Transition Into The Light in his late 80's —and we hadda BLAST. So Grateful.
TELL the Peeps you Love that you LOVE them. SHOW them. don't wait ... :>
Never been close to my father but when I hear this song it makes me feel good that I at least keep in touch with him - he's now 82 and lives 12000 miles away in Australia.
Listening to this song was emotional and brought so many memories and allowed me to wise up to make the best out of my life and that's exactly what I am doing, thanks to my dad who passed away when I was 17 years old.
I used to think he was wrong in so many ways but all that has changed.
Altho me and my father never seen eye to eye, he passed before I could ever sort it out with him. I have many regrets in life, but the one of the biggest regrets is not telling him the anger I had twards him for what he done. I would never be able to forgive him, but I also never tried to. Dont be like me, because now I will take my guilt to my grave with my curses.
Though this song was about 4 years old, in 1993, I heard it again, and the Lord spoke to me throgh it. It inspired me to write a 12 page letter that took a month to write to my Dad. I told him a LOT in that letter, and forgave him for leaving the way her did. It drew us closer after that. And he thanked me. We live 1,000 from eachother, but we stay in close contact now.
This song haunted me while my father was alive. I had moved away to another city, but thankfully, thankfully I was able to fly back to my father's side the day before he died. It'll be 3 years this Jan 21st since he passed.

When he died in front of me, with his last breath he let out the most horrific scream I ever heard and I knew he realized he was going straight to hell. The hairs on me neck stood up. Justice was done. Unfortunately my angel of a mom died 8 months later. She divorced him right after I left. I miss the hell out of her.
I got my peace when I left at 17. He died the first time he beat me so horribly at the age of 8 that my mother didn't recognize me when she got home from work. He loved using a leather belt, extention cords, fists, punching and throwing me against walls for no reason. I grew up with black and blue burises on me every week until I left. Best thing I ever did. None of his grandkids were allowed to ever spend a mnute unsupervised around him He thought he was the best dad LMFAO
You never realize what you have until its gone, taking things for granted like it will always be there, how many years will they be deeply missed, lifes empty void. Cherish each and every day with the loved ones, you never know.
My father raised me alone, as a woman. I grew up to be a professional wrestler. My father still lives his life as a woman and I love him. Whenever I go home, we sleep together and I pretend he's my wife.
Reading these posts about all the dads is strange since mine beat me to a pulp every chance he could. I left at 17 and never saw him again until he had a massive stroke and was comatose and 37 years later.I watched him die 43 minutes before my 55th birthday. I felt nothing, just relief that the monster was dead. I refused to go to his funeral. You all are lucky to have such great men as dads. I am jealous that I didn't have someone like that to call dad.
@gabe1956 I understand Gabe.I was beaten by a monster and put on the streets at 14. Painful memories .I dedicate this song to the man I never knew.............
@gabe1956 Sorry to hear your dad was such a monster; mine was too. He put a half-hearted effort into reconciling in the last couple years of his life, but it was too little, too late. Luckily I had one AWESOME grandfather (the other was a carbon copy of 'dad') who treated me like his own son. He has been gone for a decade now, but I still think of him every day.
@gabe1956 It's very sad to know that kind of experience! I'm so sorry! But, remember we all have a Daddy Who really loves all humans. He sent JESUS to this world to save us. He really loves us more than words can say, We can see He really loves us when we realize that His Holy Son, JESUS, did suffer more than anybody else in this world, 'cause after all, He was innocent and was crucified! I'll pray for You and all the rest of people that have faced, are facing or will face this painful life!
@gabe1956 I can, somewhat, relate to your post. My father was in and out of my life as a child. He was very abusive when he was around. Initially, when he died my first thought was, "He's gone! The monster is gone and can't hurt me anymore...ever again!" But as the years have gone by the resentment that I had for him has lessened and I have moved on with my life, wishing he could have seen me for the son/person I was and not who he wanted me to be.
My husband lost his father very suddenly in Nov. he was never sick and one day he had abdominal pain the next day he had emergency surgery and died in the operating table. Although they kept in touch the sorrow he felt was to great, he cried for hours that day and the weeks that followed. We had planed to visit his parents in Dec. it was a surprise(out of the country).My husband still wanted to see his father and kiss him one last time, but by the time we got to the cemetery it was to late.
This fabulous song is the theme song for my daily PA emails (Positive Acknowldegment). It is so important to put into PRACTICE the message of this song, so I encourage you all to PLEASE start telling people to positive things you want to say to them NOW before it is too late. If you want to learn more about PAs and how to give them to people, check out my website, which you can get to via my YouTube channel.
the last time i saw my father alive was when he dropped me off at the draft board to be inducted into the Army in 1969. he died shortly after i finished basic training age 53 having never seen me since that day. i volunteered to be drafted when i turned 18 and I'm sure he knew he was probably dropping me off to go to war like he did in WWII but showed no regrets and am sure he was proud of me. there is a lot i wish i could ask him. God Bless you DAD
listening to cd in my car on my way to 24hr McDonalds about 10 minutes after i turned 61 tonight i heard this song and it greatly moved me. searched and searched to identify it, obviously successful. no matter how well you get along with your children, there are always many things you don't see EYE TO EYE, republican vs democrat for one thing LOL, but also many generational gaps, hope I'm still around for my grandchildren, maybe i should stop eating midnight McDonalds
This song came on the radio station that my co-workers were listening today. They were listening to oldies from the 60's to 80's and none of them lived any earlier than 1984! :P
My Dad died in 1979 and i could and should have been there when he died. I regret that to this day and always think of him when i hear this beautiful song. Love you Dad X
For me this song had alot to do with changes in my own life. I had a falling out with my father that lasted over a year and a half. He's still here today and we are the best of friends. It's true that some issues can not be resolved. If there is any chance to settle your differences your best to move on it today because there can easily be no tomorrow. We all have to live with our choices. Thankfully i have told him what i needed to say to him. When it's his time i will miss him dearly.
Please, please, please be thankful for what you have while it's there. You will have soooo much time to live with your regrets once they have gone, take it from one who knows.
I lost my 53-year-old father 2 weeks ago to what was believed to be a heart attack. I haven't lived at home in 7 years, but tried my hardest to fly down at least once a year to visit. Now that he's gone, our hour-long talks on the phone each week just doesn't even seem like enough. I took a last-minute, 6-hour plane trip to GA to sign cremation papers and to see my father for the last time, lying cold and lifeless on a steel gurney. Don't be the child that regrets not taking advantage of time.
my husband lost his father about a year ago. i still have both my parents. i keep reminding myself how lucky i am, that the only thing needed from me is to love them and respect them.
Reading the posts about your dads makes me cry. My dad and i didnt see eye to eye and i wasnt there the moment he died, i wias i had said more to him in the living years
Beautiful song and it fills me with tears everytime! I lost my father with Luekemia when I was 15, I'm 50 this month and I still miss him so much. I have two great boys, I wish he could have seen them. There is so much I wanted to have done with him. It might sound silly but I was never old enough for him to take me for a beer before he died! But in a few months my son is 18 and he is going to take me for a beer, I will be thinking of my father, I know he is watching over us. Love you Dad xxx
@markpearson14 I know your pain, my dad died when I was 21 but I never managed to connect with him as an adult. I'm 49 now and still miss what we might have had. :)
This song is so upsetting to me, I really don't want to lose my father and dread the day that it actually happens. To be honest I would rather die before my father so I don't have to go through the pain. I know it sounds selfish, but I'm just being honest.
@SeanandMir I honestly used to feel the same way, but rather you look at it as pain and sadness that he's gone, look at it as a celebration that he LIVED. You are your father's child and you will always have him in you. It is incredibly hard to get through, I lost my dad 2 weeks ago, and even though I am still mourning every day at the moment, I know that it will get easier. I will never forget my father's love. Take advantage of the time you do have with him and don't make excuses.
@soxfan801 never live with regrets never left ya in life and never will in death beleive it or not this is the hell buddy with love lost my daddy 15yrs now pain never goes xxx wer live to learn to live without them with love xxxxxxx
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
This song inspires me to build a father son relationship with my 2 year old grandson to somehow heal the relationship I never had with my dad. My dad is still alive at 81, but the hurt is deep, and I can't seem to build on it. I love my grandson so much, and will build on this to fill my hurting heart. God bless you LivingTOOgood. I also am in pain.
I lived next to a cememtery for 8 years and would walk through and read the headstones. One day I saw this young girl maybe 14-15 years old laying on a grave. I walked over to see is she was ok and she said she was visiting her father and she missed him so much and came to talk to him. I left her alone but am sooo glad my father is still here he just turned 60 this year.
My father died 23 October 2004 of cancer. The other day I was on the job and played this on my iPod touch. I think about my father when playing this music. And I guess there must be many many people that do the same.
This to my dad's memory who just passed away a few days now ... the song is too right because it's too late when we die ... because I just wanted to have time to say you goodbye
we all take our fathers for granted, but this is a reminder that we should be closer to your father because he won't be there forever.

This song haunted me while my father was alive. I had moved away to another city, but thankfully, thankfully I was able to fly back to my father's side the day before he died. It'll be 3 years this Jan 21st since he passed.
We didn't say much... I'm sure we didn't need to.

When he died in front of me, with his last breath he let out the most horrific scream I ever heard and I knew he realized he was going straight to hell. The hairs on me neck stood up. Justice was done. Unfortunately my angel of a mom died 8 months later. She divorced him right after I left. I miss the hell out of her.

I got my peace when I left at 17. He died the first time he beat me so horribly at the age of 8 that my mother didn't recognize me when she got home from work. He loved using a leather belt, extention cords, fists, punching and throwing me against walls for no reason. I grew up with black and blue burises on me every week until I left. Best thing I ever did. None of his grandkids were allowed to ever spend a mnute unsupervised around him He thought he was the best dad LMFAO

Reading these posts about all the dads is strange since mine beat me to a pulp every chance he could. I left at 17 and never saw him again until he had a massive stroke and was comatose and 37 years later.I watched him die 43 minutes before my 55th birthday. I felt nothing, just relief that the monster was dead. I refused to go to his funeral. You all are lucky to have such great men as dads. I am jealous that I didn't have someone like that to call dad.

@gabe1956 Sorry to hear your dad was such a monster; mine was too. He put a half-hearted effort into reconciling in the last couple years of his life, but it was too little, too late. Luckily I had one AWESOME grandfather (the other was a carbon copy of 'dad') who treated me like his own son. He has been gone for a decade now, but I still think of him every day.

@gabe1956 It's very sad to know that kind of experience! I'm so sorry! But, remember we all have a Daddy Who really loves all humans. He sent JESUS to this world to save us. He really loves us more than words can say, We can see He really loves us when we realize that His Holy Son, JESUS, did suffer more than anybody else in this world, 'cause after all, He was innocent and was crucified! I'll pray for You and all the rest of people that have faced, are facing or will face this painful life!

@gabe1956 I can, somewhat, relate to your post. My father was in and out of my life as a child. He was very abusive when he was around. Initially, when he died my first thought was, "He's gone! The monster is gone and can't hurt me anymore...ever again!" But as the years have gone by the resentment that I had for him has lessened and I have moved on with my life, wishing he could have seen me for the son/person I was and not who he wanted me to be.

When I first heard this song I could not help but feel the guitar work had something "missing" bars or notes?
I Honestly think this is deliberate, representing losing a loved one, leaving out notes for those not here, amazing song and music.

My husband lost his father very suddenly in Nov. he was never sick and one day he had abdominal pain the next day he had emergency surgery and died in the operating table. Although they kept in touch the sorrow he felt was to great, he cried for hours that day and the weeks that followed. We had planed to visit his parents in Dec. it was a surprise(out of the country).My husband still wanted to see his father and kiss him one last time, but by the time we got to the cemetery it was to late.

the last time i saw my father alive was when he dropped me off at the draft board to be inducted into the Army in 1969. he died shortly after i finished basic training age 53 having never seen me since that day. i volunteered to be drafted when i turned 18 and I'm sure he knew he was probably dropping me off to go to war like he did in WWII but showed no regrets and am sure he was proud of me. there is a lot i wish i could ask him.

For me this song had alot to do with changes in my own life. I had a falling out with my father that lasted over a year and a half. He's still here today and we are the best of friends. It's true that some issues can not be resolved. If there is any chance to settle your differences your best to move on it today because there can easily be no tomorrow. We all have to live with our choices. Thankfully i have told him what i needed to say to him. When it's his time i will miss him dearly.

I lost my 53-year-old father 2 weeks ago to what was believed to be a heart attack. I haven't lived at home in 7 years, but tried my hardest to fly down at least once a year to visit. Now that he's gone, our hour-long talks on the phone each week just doesn't even seem like enough. I took a last-minute, 6-hour plane trip to GA to sign cremation papers and to see my father for the last time, lying cold and lifeless on a steel gurney. Don't be the child that regrets not taking advantage of time.

Beautiful song and it fills me with tears everytime! I lost my father with Luekemia when I was 15, I'm 50 this month and I still miss him so much. I have two great boys, I wish he could have seen them. There is so much I wanted to have done with him. It might sound silly but I was never old enough for him to take me for a beer before he died! But in a few months my son is 18 and he is going to take me for a beer, I will be thinking of my father, I know he is watching over us. Love you Dad xxx

@SeanandMir I honestly used to feel the same way, but rather you look at it as pain and sadness that he's gone, look at it as a celebration that he LIVED. You are your father's child and you will always have him in you. It is incredibly hard to get through, I lost my dad 2 weeks ago, and even though I am still mourning every day at the moment, I know that it will get easier. I will never forget my father's love. Take advantage of the time you do have with him and don't make excuses.

I walked over to see is she was ok and she said she was visiting her father and she missed him so much and came to talk to him. I left her alone but am sooo glad my father is still here he just turned 60 this year.
