This song always makes me cry inside. I love my Momma dearly, but there was a lot of tension growing up. Daddy died when I was 10, and Momma had me and my 2 teenage bros and my little bro to raise alone. It wasn't easy on any of us, but she loved us so much and prayed for us all the time. As an adult, our relationship was trying at best. When I first heard the song I Thot about Daddy being gone. When your gone, your GONE FOR A LONG LONG TIME. and I decided to try to make peace with her imperfe
This was my late husbands FAV song...he died in the middle of aBIG fight with our daughter...she was not there that day he died...and later that same year she had a a baby girl who never got to know her grandpa. Such a haunting song for our family. Brings tears stillI.
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 ...!!!
If you love someone let them know and tell them all the time In The Living Years because once we are gone,we are gone.This is such a GREAT song.ROCK ON!!!!!!!
I was 29 when my dad died and he was 29 when I was born....this gets me every time..and its been 16 years..............16 damn years............not over it yet. I don't get it and i guess i never will.
@stalbanslad Dear friend, I am 65, lost my Dad when I was 18. You are correct, when you stated that you "don't get over it" but you do learn to live with it! (I suppose we have to). Inspite of our loss, isn't it lovely that after all this time they are still dear to us. Spare a thought for those people who didn't have a loving relationship with their parents. Take care.
@RickSibbett Hi Rick, I don't know if you are a father yet? but I am, and let me say this. It would have eased the pain if you had managed to say those apologies to Dad, but as any father knows, with, or without you saying sorry to your Dad, he loved you just as much on his deathbed, as he did the day you were born. You can rest assured about that! God bless.
to my uncle in law (uncle guide) you are a star can't imagine how life and death is such a very very thin line between each other... i will dearly miss you and now am so worried about my daughter gandpa my ex father in law i do love my ex families dearly
I think about my grandfather when i hear this song and when he passed away 2 years ago,the song is about a dad but I think about my grandfather anyway.
My father loved all 9 of his children. One day an argument erupted with his 5th son. A 20 year rift followed. It broke our mother's heart. Too many 'silent' years passed. The void between them continued with both not knowing how to bridge 20 years of silence. Dad became ill. We took turns to sit by his bedside. My brother sat tirelessly with him while he lay unconcious, 20 years of pain etched on his face. He rushed to the hospital one morning but our father had just died. It broke his heart.
This song came out around the time my father died, or at least that was when I first heard it, in September 1987. It made his loss all the more poignant and whenever I hear it, I think about him and I miss him.
I played this at my dads funeral..everyone wondered where it came from..the oldest daughter xoxoxoxoxo i sometimes change it to wasn't there when my mother .. cause i wasn't but was for my dad made sure of it sharon

@MrMegaFredzeppelin This song really hits home. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done differently. I've always taken my dad for granted. I could have been a better son. I wish I would have had the chance to say goodbye to my dad before he died 2 nights ago. I miss my dad :( He was a great father, a loving husband to my mom, a great provider, protector and an awesome friend.
Thanks so much For sharing this beautiful song!...wow!!....well done! I am missing my dad right now, even though you were not there when I needed you....I wish I could have told you that I've turn out ok, and that I wish we could have been closer!...Even though is too late...I still miss you papa=,(
I was a teen when I heardvthis song. I never knew who the artist was. But a friend told me who the artist was and said, "Maaaaaan, that white boy can saaaaang!" I fell in love with this song because it have so much meaning. Everything that he said in this song is nothin' but the truth.
which my parents may never get the chance to savor.Ima now sorta of contrition,cuz I ensconce in a privileged world whereas my folks are still struggling to earn my tuition bill.I just received my mama's wire of over $20,000 for this semester and I feel superlatively indebted with her and my papa.Sry,but now as I typing this post,my tears brimming in my pupils,swirling like nymph's dancing as if I once again behold my parents after my departure,..Thanks,nomiclas!

@nomiclas Thnx 4 ur comments!Ima actually an international student just arriving U.S.,and it was before long for the first time I listened to this pathetic track,quite adventitiouly,I down the first piece of music from server on TAP TAP GLEE on my iPhone.Previously I have been long supposed that TTR wouldn't release any serious music,I mean far-reaching one,but this just crumbled my all-too-easy inference.My pops and mama are now still living in China,back in willowwacks of my motherland.
@nomiclas As u may know that Chinese ppl are now to some degree overruled by an atrocious Communist Constitution Party,which leads gazillions of democracy warriors either be incarcerated behind slammers or even horrendously be decapitated predictated on the gallows of hegemony!My beloved parents,my magnanimous pops,and amiable mama,I pray in orison every morning along with the dawn for my folks.Now studing in the Pennsylvania State University,I sample assorted ambrosia in campus buffet.
I agree. I have a box of screws and nuts that I have since my pops passed away 20 years ago. It is right on my luthier bench so he is always where he loved to be. in the garage working with his kids.
everytime i hear this song,it reminds the day my son was born cause i fell pregnant about the time my father passed away(re-carnation in every way).after they cleaned him up,they lay him on my stomach on hes stomach & he picked hes head up & looked straight at me but i seen my father in hes eyes,it was a overwhelming feeling.that was in july 1987 & every time i think or look at my son i always see my father.. :D
i NEVER leave any of my family without saying 'i love you'...even if they tire of hearing it....there comes be a point at which there will be no tomorrow, no other chance, and for me...no regrets. hope you can say the same...it makes life much easier
When I was 10...I remember running off the school bus...beautiful fall day in Ohio...leaves crumbled under my feet...racing around the corner...up toward my house...picked up the phone to call my Dad...my Mom grabbed the phone and told me "your Dad died, Brian"..."he's gone"...I saw the pain in her face...the immense sorrow...I think back to that moment...every day...now at the age of 47...the pain of his suicide lingers...but I cherished the time I had with him and miss him every day.
I pity the 33 people who didn't have a Daddy that they didn't love anywhere as dearly as the 1,486 others (including myself) who LOVED their Daddy & miss him so very much..
what I wouldn't give to be able to tell mine Happy Father's Day today. :(
I just lost my mum may 15th of this year.. This wednesday will be one month.. It still hasn't really hit me.. but this really hit me. I've always loved this song and group, it takes on a deeper meaning when it really applies to you. Hugs to those who have stated similar sentiments and are going through hard times too! RIP Mum
The singing was perfect, the sound awesome, the music wonderful and the drummer is a fierce animal with a raging talent! WOW! I lost me Dad in March. I was with him. I knew this song. I said what I needed to say, so did he. When he passes it was in peace. Great song, grateful fan.
Damn this song it hurts. Sorry Dad for not being as close a son as I should've. It's been 16 years since you left us in this life. Now I understand why they say that when it's too late, it's too late. So much regrets. So much I haven't shared with you. I pray that this be a lesson for me with my son. RIP Dad.
@buffet Then again sometimes a dad has fucked up too many times has paid drips of respect way too late to make difference. Life is crap and then you die is a good foundation, everything else is gravy. Regardless it is a lesson for you and probably never me but for your son. Just tell him about girls.
Yes, my Dad loved this band. My Dad suffered from some severe strokes when he was, well, my age now but for 2 years. He dies some years later and in all those intervening years he was like a child, he could not speak to me properly and terrible to say nor me to him. All the frustration of him not understanding or be being to answer back. I am crying now as I recall it. Damn I both love and hate this song.
To all you Rogers Mountaineers alumni, Auburn Tigers fans, and Carolina Panthers fans (like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Lee Ziemba came into the world (March 29, 1989).
16 years ago today at 11.50am a light went out in my life when my lovely dad died. I think about him every hour of every day. He was loved by everyone but especially by me. Love you dad.
i love this song and so do my little baby boy and i know in my heart that it will be just as easy to tell him that i love him now as it will be when hes older
Mike Mike and ........... All I need is a Miracle..... so these things impressed and changed my life. I love all of the artists that so talented express our human conditions which makes us all so much the same, and they sing a voice of words we can't explain.
i missed some good years with my dad, for he was sick towards the end and could not speak to me, but he knew he was loved and i guess that's all that mattered.
This song played on the radio while I was on my way home from the hospital, having just learned that my Dad would not be leaving, he died 3 days later. He was more than my father, he was my best friend! He did know that I loved him, thank God that I did at least that correctly
one of my favorite songs! It is so true I just wish my family would realize it. I know they felt it when my father passed and they will feel it when my mom goes.
@bigseer So true. I would add that even more is the pain of not sharing the love and grace of Jesus with your fellow man while we have a chance....it's too late after they leave earth. This past year I had two go, without me being straight about the gospel of Christ. Blessings to those who are hurting for family and friends who have passed on. You can't change the past, but you honor them by loving those you who are still with us now.
I liked this song since listened it for first time and I got the point or advice because what is important is to say not only that you may not understand or agree with others especially ur love ones, but there is still love inside you for them, in that way u will feel some relief when that person pass away, oh! and say it no matter if that person don't get it, just say it and say it loud : ) Blessings
Children bring out the best (and sometimes, the worst) in us... more so if they're ours! I've grown with my "babies" and in some ways, they've out-grown me. Well, each generation either builds on the last or else "blames the one before".
Upon hearing this song on my car radio one morning on my way to work, I pulled my car over and listened carefully to the words... I sobbed when it played once again... Both paents are gone now as well as 2 siblings and the the emptiness our family feels is immeasurable. This song and its lyrics touch everyone who has a "heart". Thank you for posting! "D"
Saw them live in 2004 as the act before Phil Collins solo. Paul Carrack is a fantastic singer (not easy at al when the fantastic Phil Collins is up next!) and a great choice by Mike Rutherford, who takes backseat as a perfomer in his own band. Great guys - great music - great lyrics!
It had a very deep meaning for me, still does, abt the time this songt came out, I was here with my Mum in S. Shields, and my Dad had gone one last time to see his family in Canada.
Sadly my cheeky Canadian Dad never came back, as he died over there, and Mum and I never knew about it as the telegram got delayed,in this song the words "I was`nt there that evening when my Father passed away, I never got to tell him all the words I longed to say ect. also he couldnt wait to see his grandson : /
i wonder if the mechanics still fix mikes car for mates rates. bet theyre glad they had a trade to fall back on when the music dried up and lorraine kelly didnt want mike on good morning tv anymore.
My Father and I could work anything out when we talked about it, I held his hand as he drew his last breath, we are cut from the same cloth, but I Love this song anyway
@HIEMDALL2006 go stare at that stupid wall some more maybe it will fall on you. suppose you think harry s. trueman was your missiah ,you and egypt both suck . each one of you get 1.3 billion a year from america and for what ?not to fight one another what a joke i wonder how many american jews had a part in making sure that bill was passed into action o ya why dont you get the hell out of palistine! keep our money here you make me and many other people around the world sick no one is chosen
@HIEMDALL2006 ya get out of palistine you make us and many more around the world sick 1.3 billion a year for you and egypt not to fight i say cut both of you off right now o ya the isrealis are not the chosen ones no one is not you not me not the gentiles what an isulting thing to infer on some one get lost hiem GET OUT OF PALISTINE ALREADYharry trueman was not your missiah
I think this is a song that you can't get until it happens! But when you get there it will hurt like hell and sadly because of your loss you will feel and understand every word. So trust me, say it it loud and say and it clear because when it's too late it really is too late and there are no second chances x
@michelescoones. My father was an alcoholic. I was 15 when he was killed in a head on collision between his little Ford Fairlane and a tractor trailer. My father was driving on the wrong side of the road. I loved him very much and we were very close, but I struggled with his drinkng addiction. This song says it all.

I pity the 33 people who didn't have a Daddy that they didn't love anywhere as dearly as the 1,486 others (including myself) who LOVED their Daddy & miss him so very much..
what I wouldn't give to be able to tell mine Happy Father's Day today. :(

I've always loved this song and group, it takes on a deeper meaning when it really applies to you. Hugs to those who have stated similar sentiments and are going through hard times too! RIP Mum

Great performance of a beautiful song.
The singing was perfect, the sound awesome, the music wonderful and the drummer is a fierce animal with a raging talent! WOW! I lost me Dad in March. I was with him. I knew this song. I said what I needed to say, so did he. When he passes it was in peace. Great song, grateful fan.

Damn this song it hurts. Sorry Dad for not being as close a son as I should've. It's been 16 years since you left us in this life. Now I understand why they say that when it's too late, it's too late. So much regrets. So much I haven't shared with you. I pray that this be a lesson for me with my son. RIP Dad.

@buffet Then again sometimes a dad has fucked up too many times has paid drips of respect way too late to make difference. Life is crap and then you die is a good foundation, everything else is gravy. Regardless it is a lesson for you and probably never me but for your son. Just tell him about girls.

Yes, my Dad loved this band. My Dad suffered from some severe strokes when he was, well, my age now but for 2 years. He dies some years later and in all those intervening years he was like a child, he could not speak to me properly and terrible to say nor me to him. All the frustration of him not understanding or be being to answer back. I am crying now as I recall it. Damn I both love and hate this song.

This song played on the radio while I was on my way home from the hospital, having just learned that my Dad would not be leaving, he died 3 days later. He was more than my father, he was my best friend! He did know that I loved him, thank God that I did at least that correctly

@bigseer So true. I would add that even more is the pain of not sharing the love and grace of Jesus with your fellow man while we have a chance....it's too late after they leave earth. This past year I had two go, without me being straight about the gospel of Christ. Blessings to those who are hurting for family and friends who have passed on. You can't change the past, but you honor them by loving those you who are still with us now.

I liked this song since listened it for first time and I got the point or advice because what is important is to say not only that you may not understand or agree with others especially ur love ones, but there is still love inside you for them, in that way u will feel some relief when that person pass away, oh! and say it no matter if that person don't get it, just say it and say it loud : ) Blessings

Children bring out the best (and sometimes, the worst) in us... more so if they're ours! I've grown with my "babies" and in some ways, they've out-grown me. Well, each generation either builds on the last or else "blames the one before".

Upon hearing this song on my car radio one morning on my way to work, I pulled my car over and listened carefully to the words... I sobbed when it played once again... Both paents are gone now as well as 2 siblings and the the emptiness our family feels is immeasurable. This song and its lyrics touch everyone who has a "heart". Thank you for posting! "D"

Saw them live in 2004 as the act before Phil Collins solo. Paul Carrack is a fantastic singer (not easy at al when the fantastic Phil Collins is up next!) and a great choice by Mike Rutherford, who takes backseat as a perfomer in his own band. Great guys - great music - great lyrics!

It had a very deep meaning for me, still does, abt the time this songt came out, I was here with my Mum in S. Shields, and my Dad had gone one last time to see his family in Canada.
Sadly my cheeky Canadian Dad never came back, as he died over there, and Mum and I never knew about it as the telegram got delayed,in this song the words "I was`nt there that evening when my Father passed away, I never got to tell him all the words I longed to say ect. also he couldnt wait to see his grandson : /

I think this is a song that you can't get until it happens! But when you get there it will hurt like hell and sadly because of your loss you will feel and understand every word. So trust me, say it it loud and say and it clear because when it's too late it really is too late and there are no second chances x

@michelescoones. My father was an alcoholic. I was 15 when he was killed in a head on collision between his little Ford Fairlane and a tractor trailer. My father was driving on the wrong side of the road. I loved him very much and we were very close, but I struggled with his drinkng addiction. This song says it all.
