Hello from Canada:

One of the FINEST ballads I have ever come across. Eggsackly WHO was the composer?

It's a beautiful melody as well as the lyrics.

Thank you.

@emilymaves,

Thanks for commenting. As noted above, Bob Amos wrote this song (and many other such masterpieces). He was the lead singer and guitarist for a bluegrass band called Front Ranger. They're no longer together. The fact that this video has more views than any of our other videos (that have been posted for far longer) shows how much interest remains in Front Range.

this is Beautiful... I used to go see Front Range and Bob Amos here is Delaware, Bob is from Delaware, and they were one of the BEST Bluegrass bands I have EVER heard, shame they are no longer together, but I know one of the band members sadly passed away. A Very TALENTED and NICE group of guys... they were Great, miss them. You guys do a very Nice job here, thanks for posting...

You fellers are GREAT. I really enjoy your music---only thing...when my Gibson was made they left out those good runs (or maybe it's me??) Such good picking

That song is one of my MANY favorites, and, yes, I do have several favorites. Y'all do (in my opinion, for whatever it's worth) every bit as good a job as Front Range ever did. Not to downgrade them, they were strictly excellent. It's just that y'all are also strictly excellent! Keep it up!!!
