    First time I’ve heard this song. Rob does a beautiful job. What a beautiful yet sad song. Life is precious and youth so fleeting. Looking back is so bitter sweet, things I could have done differently, things I failed to do, wonderful moments I still treasure. Rob brings that all back to me with his wonderful voice.

    Kudos to Mr. Robson. The most memorable rendition of that song for me was watching my uncle at 430 in the morning,stewed to the gills hanging on to the front door at full volume. I was about 14 at the time. Laughed so hard I nearly cried. I will never forget that scene as long as I live!

    Finally figured this song out for so many years. It was in Tales Of The Darkside in the episode Case Of The Stubborns. An actor who plays Grandpa Titus (Eddie Branken) sits in his rocking chair and sings this song somewhat. He also was the shop keeper in home alone 2. Grandpa Titus gets interrupted as his son walks out. The grandson is played by Christian Slater when he was 15 years old. You can find it on youtube. It is a very good episode!

      Thanks for sharing both the song and the history of it Maurice! As one who taught English for over 34 years, it was always a part of my teaching to look back at the past and share lyrics of some of the great songs of the past - lyrics with such powerful memories and feelings. This was one of them. Also this is the first time I ever heard Rob sing. Tremendous! I don't know if there are any around, but if there are some CDs of his songs, I would definitely purchase one or more to add to my collection. Again, thanks for sharing this beautiful song!
