  • Never a bad song by David Gates! ♥

  • 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

  • almost 50 now myself.. wow, the flutter, excitement of being in love and 17 .. you FEEL 17 not older.. it really always feels the same............

    WOW WOW

    David Gates ALWAYS KNEW, FELT what I did but he knew how to SING it.

  • El amor siempre llega a los diecisiete.

  • great song writing david, sorry it took so long to find you here on youtube

  • 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 Gates is a legend! One of the few singers who can really get into my very core.

  • @tplayer73 SI DE TODAS MANERAS DAVID ES UNA LEYENDA Y SU VOZ SIGUE IGUAL QUE DIOS LE BENDIGA SU TALENTO QUE NOS HACE ALEGRAR LA VIDA

  • 35 ooo now ime 43 xx

  • 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.

  • wish all the luck.....sweet...

  • not that simple, she's married, and so am I !!!

  • 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!!

  • There is no way to make this song better except make it longer ?

  • Absolutely Beautiful Song!!! 5*s Thankyou Angel & markshin....Anita..

  • Liked Love is Seventeen! David sure has a nice voice!

  • Some may have missed this album when it came out since it came out as a country album instead of a pop album.

  • que voz sublime, demais!!!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • you can try, capo 2nd fret. open chords G,Em,C,Am,D with some variations and bass runs. Good luck on the tab

  • 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.

  • 잠시 동안 주위를 보지 못했 희망을 확인하는

  • This is the demo version of the song. It's from the album "love is always seventeen" released in 1999 if I'm not mistaken.

  • Does anybody know where I can find this song? I've looked everywhere; any help would be appreciated.

  • David Gates Songbook on CD. Hurry, it might go out of print.

  • For You Jackie......You Sweet Woman.

  • What an optimistic message for those who think love has passed them by
