Always love this song, thinking of my Beautiful Daddy always reminds me of him 🙏 His passed away and I miss him naturally we were so close 😢😢 missing him, thanks God Heard my prayers he said Hello for the first and last time after Having Dementia he wasn't able to speak for years his resting sleepezee Daddy 😢😢❤❤
you know you have something special when you can attract millions of ears and souls to something as beautiful as this !! One of the best songs from the 80's !
This is not easy to sing let alone like he does. His vocals are flawless and strong. I'd give anything to meet him. I graduated high school in 86 this came out in 88 one year after my Dad and Brother were killed in a car wreck July 3, 1987. Very special song matter a fact I went and bought it today. July 2022. Amazing how he sounds just like the recording. So he's not ever been modified he actually sings in perfect pitch. Go Paul
Paul im so sorry ive not found you before bbc 3 prog. ive been in the game for over 50 years and it is a joy to listen to an incredible voice and composer " media wake up" give this man his rewards tell the world so they can enjoy as much as this old fool nev"nash"moles
Lynne Gray, why has he disowned you, and how can you make reparation for it? You can "just say it" too, without waiting for him to. And you can listen as well, and try to understand. Remember that the worst thing you can do is make counter-accusations or give excuses - he'll just think nothing's changed.
@JAMES DURHAM U.E. that's up to her to say if that's what she thinks. I coming from a place of surviving decades of abuse and coming through it. People ask for my help which I give freely. If she doesn't want it she can tell me to piss off herself.
I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say. This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child wat back when this was released. Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together. RIP DAD (John) Thanks BA Robertson (check the writers version) it was his experience in the lyrics he wrote. just copy and paste this (ba robertson living years above ) and also you will hear the name of the young babys real name from the song, and there is a surprize at the end of video(i wont tell you,it will spoil it), you think this version makes you cry watch this one the way it was meant to be.
If the chords, the melody, the haunting synthesiser & guitar and children's voices don't do it to you, Mr. Carrack's voice and the lyrics will. This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I'm so grateful my dad knew I loved him. If your dad doesn't, say it now......right now.
just listen. I was 19 when my Dad passed away. He was 48 and we argued about how long my hair was until he died. Im 56 next week and i wish I... and he could have more. JUST TALK PLEASE.
I don't understand why. Thumbs down soon such a beautiful song and band. So beautiful. Guess they are not on same plain as us can relate. GOD BLESS all. And our Angels.
Muchas, Muchas Gracias por el maravilloso mensaje en esta Canción!!....me hubiera gustado decirle a mi Mama cuando la amaba en los "Años Vivientes".....
I don't know of another song on UA-cam that causes strangers to share comments like this does. People from around the world talk to each other often in painful detail about losing their Dads. Word to the wise if you've still got a living Dad make sure you clean up any loose ends if you have any.
hav'nt seen my son's so many year's now miss them so much and my daughter's i sing this on stage always the last song one day i hope they hear me sing this and realise how much i love them i believe this is my eldest son's fav song
He looks lost without a guitar in his hands or playing the keys but I love this guy... and still waiting for him to tour Australia. Check out his performance of this song on Songs Of Praise, you think this makes you cry..
He's gettin' it from you and me. HE IS PURE TALENT. If the rest of the world doesn't "get it", ... it REALLY is ... their loss. I love the song "how long" by Ace. It has a hint of a Billy Joel vocal, but BETTER.

Yes. Still listening in 2023! That's a testament to a great song!
Paul Carrack is soooo amazing. There are no words worthy of his talent.
So true. I staged managed him for a festival. His respect for the stage crew was lovely
Paul Carrack...The man with the golden voice!

One day the longing ceases to be pain and becomes part of our history, some people will be forever present in our memories!
I cry everytime I listen to this. Our oldest son has disowned us and I would love him to hear it.
That’s what music is about

me too! 😢

My Dad did before he left us :)
What a moving song ...Say it loud ... Say it Clear ... Say it while they are still here... miss you every day Dad

+Richard Killeen wow, wasn't expecting to hear something like that today... thanks for the insight
+Richard Killeen your not alone.... Believe me! Just five more minutes.... God!
it's sad. I will never be what my parents want either... because I don't want to be infatuated with money. it is difficult but let it go...
Didn’t have the chance to talk with my father before he passed away. Great hug from Germany.
I don't understand why. Thumbs down soon such a beautiful song and band. So beautiful. Guess they are not on same plain as us can relate. GOD BLESS all. And our Angels.
I miss my Dad so much! I miss our talks!
Back again! One of the most perfect songs ever recorded!
Don't know why anyone would give a thumbs down. Beautiful music , Paul is truly a golden voice. Song makes me think of my Father and also my son.
This man is a legend, the voice of an angel
One of my all time favourite songs, saw them perform this in Wembley during the late 90s brings a tear to the eye!
One of the greatest voices of all time

the older I get the more this song pulls on my heart. I have two young son who are becoming man in their own right.
Amazing 🎶👏

That sumed up how I parted with my dad. Sad.

He's gettin' it from you and me. HE IS PURE TALENT. If the rest of the world doesn't "get it", ... it REALLY is ... their loss. I love the song "how long" by Ace. It has a hint of a Billy Joel vocal, but BETTER.
