I just heard this song for the first time on KLRN so I thought I'd look it up on youtube. To my surprise, this song was downloaded the exact day that my dad passed away. It's been almost 3 yrs now... and I can't help but cry.

Beautiful song!!!!!

@cyndig63 I saw Chet sing it live in 1989, and when he finished, there was not a dry eye in the theater.

I love Chet's version of this song--makesme sad though---so beautiful. It makes me think of how long I'll have my dear dad and it always makes me sad when I think that it may not be as long as I'd like---which is forever! MAY WE ALL HAVE OUR DAD'S FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF HAPPY MEMORY MAKING!

@micmoable Enjoy every moment with him. My own dad passed away in 2006, and I can tell you, every moment is precious.

Doug, that was great. My father has passed on and I miss him. I heard Chet perform this song

live. I believe it was 1996 in Savannah, GA.

I felt then and still feel it was a wonderful

tribute to all fathers. God bless...

My dad passed away a couple years ago, too. Me and him had our differences, but this song made his eyes wet. it was one of a handful of ways I could communicate with him Thanks Chet for saying it like we all feel it deep, down inside.

And Hardsell. don't let your heart be so brick hard or I'll block you from my channel. Most of us here LOVE Chet's music. That's why we're here, and that's why I created this channel..

I miss my Daddy a lot. He passed away in '98. We weren't on very good terms because of his drinking problem, we were barely speaking. He had a stroke, and I watched him die in the hospital. That was terrible! If your dad is still alive, call him right now and tell him you love him. I wish I could. Dads aren't around forever.

My Daddy shared this song with me....today is his birthday. The first one since he passed last year. I love you Daddy and miss you so much.

My dad played this song at my grandpas funeral

I sang this song to my dad when I was 4 years old. He still remembers it, he's dying now, lung cancer. I love you Dad. I play this on guitar now for my kids...

this song is one of the few that i need to listen to every now and again just to put life back into perspective

This song was played at my Grandfathers funeral. My mom tells me how much I resemble him and it's crazy. I saw a picture of him when he was the age I am now and the resemblance it's unbelievable. This song brings so many memories.

@phildawg200 Ya I will be 52 years old this year and my youngest is 12, do you worrry a lot? Believe me, age has little to do with it, I have a lifetime of memories that I try and use but it was hard and still is, even after a couple months It still hurts, I have talked with my boy many times about the age difference, live for the day! Each one is special and there is no guarantees in this world, have a good one.
