Played this just before they carried daddy out of the funeral home. This and "Lord Help Me Jesus" by Kris Kristofferson were the first 2 songs I remember Daddy playing for us. I knew I had to play it for him at his funeral. I will never forget this song and all the songs on "Lullabys, Legends, & Lies" double album that Daddy played constantly. God bless Daddy and Bobby Bare & Bobby Bare, Jr.

The year was 1973 and I used to play this for my little girl and she would put her head on shoulder at age 3 and when he would say daddy what if I stopped loving you she would look at me and say "no way". She passed away a few years back but this song kindles a memory that brings a smile to my face and solidifies a daughter and father love that never ends.

@KicknAssnPlacinBlame Thank you for your info correcting me. I posted this, but over 30 years ago I met Bobby singing at Peterborough UK ,I was hooked on his voice, at that time I also subscribed to " Country Music People" It was in this magazine they printed that Bobby Bare's son had died of a respiritory disease not long after his album " Singing in the kitchen was released over here in the UK. On You Tube I see it was his daughter Shannon that died. so sorry for adding the wrong info.Sorry.
