i soo love this song. my bf now is my silent admirer since we're in high school. we met again after 15 long years. now were 33 and so much inlove.im glad.
I fell in love with a girl when I was 17, and at that time she didn't realise I was in love with her and we never got together. I'm now 41 and recently met her again. We went out for a drink and I told her I was crazy about her all those years ago. She confessed that she never knew and was genuinely surprised. We're now in a wonderful relationship with each other, and I love her more than ever, and this time I've told her so. The great thing is that she feels the same :) I love you Elaine XOX
I love David Gates! I saw his concert in the early 80's. He must be that sensitive and loving to write these lyrics and feel it. You can see the emotion on his face when he sings.
I just wish he was younger now . . God Bless Him...
One of the coolest things that happened to me in Nashville was getting to meet David. He was probably here working on this album when I met him at the #1 party for John Michael Montgomery's "Be My Baby Tonight". An incredible talent, with a sound that is unmistakably his own.
David's music still sounds good after so many decades went by...and though Bread was long gone..David's music still full of melody and meaning. 1 of my favorite single album is " Take Me Now". Among the best songs of that album was " Still In Love" "Take Me Now" " This Could Be Forever" " It's You" and 19 on the Richter scale" what a great collection of country music,..
A beautiful song. There is a woman where I work. I think she is around 42. When she wears her hair down, she only looks 17. Wish she was in love with me.
Damn! This song got to me!!! How freaking true what he is saying!!! I am almost 50 and this song will make you look back and reflect because he is singing about my life. David Gates is the man among men!!
5 stars/favs! "Love Is Always Seventeen" - this is absolutely beautiful! I've never heard this. David Gates always had the most "thoughtful" songs and the guitar backing is a perfect match for this ballad. Thanks to ariesgypsy for sharing this and to markshin for posting it!
Bread fans!! A new band named Manna coming in spring of 2010!! Playing The songs of David Gates and Bread!! Watch for updates!! Promotion help will be appreciated once dates set??
i like this song coz it reminds me of my first love in usc cebu. she's miss lesley cordero...though i wasnt realy able to express my feeling for her at that time but when ever i hear thsi song it makes me feel the that old feeling..what a nostalgia!!!
This is a great David Gates song which I would love to do. does anyone have the sheet music or guitar tab, it doesn't seem to exist on any on the usual sources! Saw David a few years back great stuff!
I dont know the tab to this, but you can try capoing the 2nd fret. It sounds like the chords are a G,Em,C,Am,D all open chords with some variations and bass runs. Thats just what my ear tells me. And without my guitar in my hand, we cant trust my ears fully!!! lol
This is from David Gates 1994 album "Love is always seventeen." There is another version he did for his "David Gates Songbook" album. I like this version better.
I have never heard that ballard and I am a big David Gates and Bread fan. But, it was well worth the wait. That was Beautiful and so glad i found it. Thank You markshin, I've saved it to my favorites :)
Never a bad song by David Gates! ♥

I dont know the tab to this, but you can try capoing the 2nd fret. It sounds like the chords are a G,Em,C,Am,D all open chords with some variations and bass runs. Thats just what my ear tells me. And without my guitar in my hand, we cant trust my ears fully!!! lol
