@BalladTimes says: In 1972 in Victoria, Canada, a rookie policeman wrote a poem for his girlfriend while driving home in his police car. Dave "the Cop" Richardson gave the poem to his friend David Foster, a young aspiring young musician looking for material for his new band, SKYLARK. Foster passed it along to Skylark guitarist Doug Edwards who set it to music. It was the first song Edwards had ever composed.

lovely ...

[sandrasaqua]

Gostei muito!!!

[nelsonfan24]

WOW, Larry, that was very emotional. POWERFUL. Thank you so much for playing what I call 'REAL MUSIC'. Believe it or not, in the past few years I kind of gave up on music. I haven't bought a cd in years, never downloaded a song on an ipod and rarely turn on a radio. Todays music, is not music to me. But, your songs have lite a spark in me to listen to the' good ole stuff'. Thank you so much for getting me to believe in music again. LOVE :)

[auntoni51]

Larry......Your voice with this strong song....Life is good.....ione marie

[auntoni51]

Larry........Incredibly powerful song and performance...You take the weight off so many of my fears doing what you love to do and what everyone comes here to experience.. You need to hear what i will always say and believe from my heart and soul......Your music is heard, felt, and loved......GOD bless you.....ione marie

[ajnagreen]

Your song makes me cry and dream...... love the guitar & your playing, singing~ Awesome!

I wish i have a wonderful voice like you that can woderfully sing in an open space as in your video. Your voice is wonderful what more if you made this in a close or a room like other does. Great job, bro.

[dylanluigi]

im glad you post these videos larry , it would be a shame if you didnt share your talent and music. love this cover very much!! you rock!

[quickjazz55]

Nicely done! You did it great justice with this arrangement! Bravo!

[silverbullet29]

The best cover for this song! :)

[pongkwaila]

awesome!..

[RickyG320]

Excellent

[70076NUD]

Well, yeah, Larry, I must ditto all the other positive comments. i came upon your version checking out the various videos for this song. First, did YOU create this guitar arrangement? Wow? where can I get the chords/ I wish your video did not cut off so much of your left hand, I was trying to follow the chord changes! i think it would sound better on a martin or Taylor. ovation is OK but a bit twangy for my taste, sorry. Your vocals are also inspiring. We all love the great Donny Gerrard.

[bornonxmas]

Wow u brought some memories back with that great job!

[cappy550]

interesting key..well done.. the ovation sounds great

[yellowpaper61]

Fantastic :)

[emertredes]

[derdian3]

wow ,90% of all these u tube covers are pretty bad,almost like whats the sense, but this one is really good, nice chords great voice & perfectly in tune. No im not randy Jackson!

[sandrasaqua]

I love this song. I danced when I was younger. Congratulations on your interpretation. (I'm from Brazil)

[Cameragirl803]

Great job! Interesting write up too:) I wore this 45 out! LOL..

[PJ7272]

Lord have mercy, where'd you learn to do that ? You play all athe standards I would like to play but dont know how..... Oh well .... if I watch enough I may pick up the chords ! Nice work !

[brusko3269]

great voice...excellent cover

[tdarnold]

Very nice cover. Most wouldnt even attempt this one.

[bjeanche]

I keep coming back to this song...it's so beautiful, Larry! This could be an anthem to all women, because every now and then, we all have tough spots in our lives and we always seem to find the strength to get through them. Thank you for doing this song.

[bjeanche]

Larry, you nail this one!!!! Had to be one of my all-time faves before I heard your version , and YOUR'S is The BEST!

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

The sleep that brings freedom has eluded me tonight...how beautiful, this song mingling with the sound of warm, gentle rain falling outside my window...the perfect way to ease into morning. Thank you.

[younghippiechick1]

OMFG. I forgot all about this song. Your rendition is glorious.

[othercousin]

back for the gazillionth listen. The more I play along, the more I'm impressed with your guitar arrangment! Can't thank you enough for posting this. You know sometimes a post connects with you, and then not as much on the proceeding listens...this isn't one of those! Of course the song being so great helps, but Larry, you did an incredible job on this one. I have your version and the original on my phone.

once again..***STANDING OVATION*****

bri

[RawPhilharmonic]

Never heard this song. I heard new birth and the original by skylark....man your acoustic version KICKS ASS!!! Is there a way you could post that tab.....willing to work a deal with you. I am a fan of yours. Great cover man!

[readyeddy101]

On of my favorite love ballads of all time. I actually have the LP of this song. The first time I heard it (when it became a hit) I had to get the album. The melody, lyrics are just fantastic. You really did the cover justice. This is one I have on my short list to do as a cover. If by chance you have the chords please let me know (I am not much of a guitarist so I am hoping they are not to complicated) 5 stars. Great jon on what I think is an underated tune.

[jonieheffner]

..nice filming, nice arrangement, nice

vocals...nice gaping gaps that you've filled

[jauntis]

LOVE THE COVER....

[blueeyesol]

Man Larry, your song slection is absolutely the best I ever heard anybody do. I have tried in 30 yrs of music to get bands to do these covers and no one seemed to waant to put the work in. Hats off to you my friend. I wish I lived in Maine, i would be knockin on your door to put all of the orchestration behind you eveen in your luch hour gigs, hehe.

[DJL1955]

wow /// you never cease to amaze my man .. I love your choice of songs .. lots and lots of good memories ...

[themgildevela]

You sang it beautifully.

[GLE408]

I want to be your neighbor so i can relax in my backyard and listen to your beautiful music.

[thejazzman210]

The Live version of this song by the O'Jays is the best. Very heartfelt rendition. Hey fellas, whenever you want to get pissed at your girl for some petty reason, listen to the words in this song. It'll put everything in perspective and you'll just want to hold her and never let her go.

[rickie888]

what a beautiful song and rendition... brings me back in time when love songs were truly beautiful. thanks for sharing.

[ToniMattTony]

This is tony again I just listen to the song again great vocals also I forgot to say that in my last post.

[got2nap3]

Thanks Larry for posting my favorite song again! I just Love listening to you sing this to me :) Peace, Love and Joy

[VinRobMom]

Wow very nice. Refreshing to hear the acoustic background to this song. When I opened this I was thinking 'Oh boy, another guy trying to sing this song" but was I pleasantly surprised.

[greyscrotum]

Never let it be said that youth holds all the beauty. Us greylings have beauty within us still and your performance of this song is clear evidence of that. Thank you for being out there and doing it, Larry.

[Acoustic1972]

You can sing to me any day of the week!

My husband listens to you often and has performed several arrangements of the songs that you sing. Where do you perform? We would love to see you live!! Thanks for your music!

[podline66]

Thank you all for the lovely comments on this video. You're the best

[shandy3791]

@podline66 Larry, you are the best !!

[LornaCole]

5* for the song, 10* for being humble and true to yourself... and a big round of applause for both, maestro.

[rabmmt]

Well said.....l couldn't have said it any better!!

[auntoni51]

Larry......a very deep and meaningful song, sung from the soul.........ione marie

[mudhens4ever]

Man, Podline, you've had some excellent vocals before, but this one tops them all! And thanks for doing one of my all-time favorites!

[Barbz46]

Not many people will say they are sorry so I am very glad you are the kind of man that will...I Love your outdoor songs you look wonderful and relaxed in them...Nice song

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

What a great vocal performance! This song holds a very special place in my heart...you just settled it there a little deeper. Beautifully done, Larry.

[othercousin]

***Standing ovation***. 10*'s

I had your previous piano version fav'ed. Thank you so much for posting this, I've looked far and wide for a guitar arangement of this classic, but never got close. 27 yrs ago I melted a chick in Laconia singing accapella with this one -she's still my wildflower, I still sing it to her on road trips.

I'm inspired - I'll be working on this for sure!

[dllewiszz]

Another forgotten classic that the oldies radio stations refuse to play.

Larry, you bring some simple elegance to this complex tune, giving it a warm, new sound.

[jrsn2cars]

One of my favs. well done Larry!

[SQDLVR]

Larry, you are a perfect example of chivalry. Saying sorry is a hard thing to do, but you are a true gentleman for saying so. I love your version of this and the summer background of you singing in your patio I presume! Really laid back and low keyed.

[debbieomi]

That's nice, Larry. Saying I'm sorry truly is the hardest thing to do but well worth it.

What a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.
