Used to make me cry when it was played on 'Junior Choice' back in the early 60's (in The UK) - still brings a tear now......Now THAT'S a lyric! And THIS is the definitive rendition.....

Wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL!!!

This isn't my first comment on this video which has been in my favourites for a long time, amazing how their performances are still so welcomed - they had a gimmick that many present day performers could do with trying to copy... TALENT! (those smiles help too)

From a boy to a man
Is how I have grown
With music I was taught
From others who were living
That life is too short
We should be forgiving
We should all think of our lives as a piece of music
Maybe then we could live in
Peace and Harmony

Even better is the version - look for The three bells Compagnons de la chanson.. The versions with or without Piaf are fabulous.

What a great song back in 1959 and now. They still sound fantatic. It still gives me chills when I hear it.

A beautiful comment, also. I don't know if you are quoting a poem, or wrote these words yourself. If the latter, you definitely have writing talent!

does anybody know the history behind the song? was it written for Jim Eds' father perhaps? just curious. I recall hearing it as a kid and have loved it ever since. one of their best, along with scarlet ribbons and the old lamplighter.

No, the song was not written by, nor for, the Browns. This is from Wikipedia: It was based on the 1945 French language song "Les trois cloches" by Jean Villard Gilles and Marc Herrand. The English lyrics were written by Bert Reisfeld and first recorded by Melody Maids in 1948. The song was a major 1952-53 hit by Edith Piaf and Les Compagnons de la chanson.

With Tears in my eyes I say that this could possibly be the most beautiful song I have ever heard

This song definitely elicits an emotional response from many people. My good friends, the Crystalairs (a German doo-wop group) did a song several years ago that I was slightly involved with. It is called "Slow Down" and the song has a special meaning to me, and some others who have heard it. Search on YouTube for Crystalairs, Slow Down.
