Lyrics:
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
You fill my heart with gladness
And you take away my sadness
You ease my troubles, that's what you do
#VanMorrison #HaveIToldYouLately #OfficialVideo #AvalonSunset #Rock
This is my husband’s UA-cam account. I lost him 2 weeks ago and this was our song. It makes my heart sad as I remember him. Our love was Devine. We gave thanks and prayed. This song takes away my sadness. He eased my troubles that’s what he did. Prayers to all who’ve lost loved ones.
I'm sorry for your loss.. my heart breaks for you as I read this. Love, prayers and hugs sent to you!
Bless your heart ❤️
My wife, Lori, and I, loved this song. I truly feel your pain! I lost Lori, on August 4, 2020, 6 days short of our 35th Anniversary. (She was only 54). Tomorrow would have been our 36th. I miss her every second of every day!

So sorry for your loss
Sorry for all who have lost a loved one and mentioned it on this post.
I walked down the aisle to the most beautiful man, this masterpiece was playing..28yrs later he’s still the love of my life.
I’m so very blessed ❤️
@@officialvanmorrison2080 Hi 👋 I’m very well thank you. I hope you are the same.
Wishing you also a blessed 2023
@@officialvanmorrison2080 Lol, you realize that UA-cam now puts numbers next to your username if it's not the original one? You better quit your grift and find a job, or stay here and keep failing at scamming people for all I care. Either way, this particular scam won't work here anymore 😎😎
When women still respected men…
and continue to be blessed.! ❤️
@@LaKwahsLament Women respect men who deserve respect.
This song is the most strong hug inducing song for my wife and I. Often times, the hugs lasted longer than the music. We first heard it early in our marriage. We almost made it to our 50th anniversary. She died of cancer on March 3, 2024.
I appreciate that many others are aware that it was sung as a song of Praise to Jesus by Van Morrison. I don't doubt that Jesus would mind sharing it with my wife.
I miss her so very much, but can never find the words that adequately tell how much.

BEAUTIFUL SONG LOVE IT
You are that one in a thousand. Honorable man of Nobel Character. You are a blessing
😢 what can we say that's not been just beautiful
Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written!

A gorgeous, touching song that captures how I feel about my wife of 45 years.
Agreed 💯👍
Totally agree. My love for my husband expands all the more whenever I hear this song. It truly articulates our relationship-my feelings towards him.❤❤❤❤😊
Yes!!!
It doesn’t matter who Morrison wrote the song about. The listener interprets the lyrics for themselves. That’s the beauty of music. I love this song.
Fair enough but the songwriter's original intention is more valuable to me. Id rather hear Van singing this over Rod Stewart. Not just because Van wrote it, but it is about his relationship with God. Whereas Rod sang it thinking about Rachel Hunter. That's why I can't take Rod's version seriously
@@awm8221yes I agree. Vans version has so much more meaning I my opinion.
Well, it certainly matters to Van who wrote it to God. In case you think I'm putting my beliefs on my old friend (I've known him since I was a small child), I'm not. Van Morrison was brought up in Christian home &, as he would say, "After a bit of a wander, I came home!"😊.
@@awm8221 You're quite correct! I wrote to the lady who thinks it doesn't matter who it was written to, to tell her that it certainly matters to Van. I've known him since I was a small child & used to love the patience he took to sit & sing with me. Van grew up in a Godly home. As Van would say, "After a bit of a wander, I came home!"😊
I understand your viewpoints. But music for me is not so literal. As the listener I interpret songs for me, what worlds, images, feelings they bring me. I am a participant in it. What is Van singing about in “Into The Mystic?” That iconic, lovely Morrison song takes me to another world. That is a trademark of music and lyrics done well.
In an interview when asked who this song was written for he answered Jesus,I thought it was for his wife but when you listen to the words it's pretty clear it's for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ 😇
My beautiful wife dedicated this song to me on a radio station 31 years ago now she is in heaven the cancer took her from me ..
I love you baby girl
I lost the love of my life my best friend my soul mate god it's KILLING me7th of may 2021 I love her so much God needed her more than me. That is my reason for life I guess
Lost my Husband to cancer. I will keep you in my prayers. The anguish is horrible.
Awe…I’m so sorry ….my husband died of stroke x3…..he’s no longer suffering reading these makes me get thru this
I'm so sorry you lost your wife back then. You can be sure she is now safe in Gods memory. But George do you know that there will come a time when you will be able to see her again here on earth? God promises this in the bible where it says according to Revelations 21:3-5 ...,,with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune. I can recommend you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,Enjoy Life Forever" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/this article is about what God will do in the very near future and how it can give you hope for the future. The future look's much better than most of the people expect, because God loves us and what he promises will not fail. Best regards, Michel
You will see her again.
Going to play this tomorrow, as i scatter my wife's ashes in her beloved garden.
I shall cry.
Hello Rod, I read your comment and I want to tell you know that I'm sorry that you lost your wife. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word, that was written down in the bible for us. Because God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your wife again here on earth?! For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.." ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out (John 5:28). He means that there will be a time on earth, when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for your future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friend, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the strength and the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel
im so sorry x i hope youre ok now ❤
A man like you is worth loving…and she is(not was) to have been married to you! May she rest in peace, and you live on to carry your memories till you meet again. Be well!

I’m Japanese.
This song is one of the best English song for me. I often listen to this song before going to bed. This song heal my tired body at work, and it makes me feel comfortable.
I will continue to listen to this song!
amazing insight. cannot believe you are japanese.
All the best and much love for you. Greeting from Vienna Austria
Your English is well spoken...Aloha from Hawaii...
I've been told that people from Japan are working endlessly, is it true?
Same here. Night all. Sleep sweet
My husband sang this to me for 55 years, although he died 4 months ago my heart still hears him. We were blessed to have each other
Era el tono de llamada de mi gran amor
Better to have loved than lost then never loved at all .
That’s lovely. So Van Morrison couldn’t have written it?
seven years I lost my friend lover and husband of 45 years.We met when I was 14 him 17 and never looked back
Only in the next room smile friend
No-one’s sick or dead. I’m simply here to express my love for this man’s soul and the music it enables him to gift to us all. Thank you Van.
No one is sick or dead, and that's graciously good, but give Life time. It will hit you. That's its nature. Life is pain, with interludes of relief. May your interludes be longer than the visitations of Pain. Peace to you and yours.
I agree it’s not all about losing people,just very goog music. X
Same here!!!!
@@jennifer5046 agreed! everybody takes different things from a song dependant upon their own personality and life experiences, the important thing is that we all appreciate the music
I have played Sir Van Morrison as loud as possible to cancel out pain.Once in an A and E side room.The staff didn't bat an eye.Better than any morphine.
One of Van Morrison's greatest songs.A truly beautiful and soulful love song.
His greatest.
And, more, one of must greatest song of history...
@@marktheelf53
It's a hymn of Thanksgiving and worship to Almighty God.
Ivan Morrison is a believer from Belfast.
I played this song over and over when my mum died. Still brings tears to my eyes decades later. One of the best songs ever written.
I understand you . I Lost muy muy 15 days ago. I am un great pain, but I hope It will ease anyway
Love you, Van. You've touched my soul for a long time. You are magic.

We used to sing this to each other ... how's my girl, how's my boy? Together for 53 years and married for 45. I lost my beloved on Feb 26th. I sing this to you my boy until we meet again.
I hope you meet again X

This was our Wedding Song & after 28 years of being married to my best friend & the love of my life, I lost my husband suddenly. This song still makes me smile & I can hear him singing it to me in my ear as we danced to this beautiful song. Thank you Van for recording it as only you can!
My husband died on 6th March this year, he always played for me, miss him
❤
Love is all ...❤
He sounds like someone who really cared for you all of his life - you were blessed to have someone who loved you with his passion - remember him in your heart always and he will be waiting for you to hear all of your experiences ❤
@@StephanYourdam Thank you, 30 years of memories.
Any man who has found that perfect woman would sing this masterpiece to her every night before she falls asleep! I was blessed to have such a wonderful woman God needed another angel I lost her one year ago! There is no one above her!
This is not all there is. You'll see her again one day.
♥️♥️♥️
So sorry for your loss. Death stole my soul mate 30 yrs ago he was 27 yrs old. I have never been the same. Nor have I loved like I loved him. Rest Easy My Beloved😞
Awe I. So sad to hear this….your words r mine for my husband I lost a week ago…I’m comforted reading the losses cuz then I don’t feel alone….we were all married to wonderful beings u guys….we must b happy for them not sad but of course tears r for us missing them huh?
He was my best girlfriend...I knew his love for me..We kept it simple..Us and nature.
What has become of this world? Thank you Van for making it a little better.
That's true,i agree with you
@@milankamarkovska9720 the world is doomed
No BobbyJoe. As long as there is love in the world , there is never doom. So look up. And love. Xxx
Calvøya festival and abouth 1978.... Always listenig.... One of the best ones....Love from Norway...T....I do agree.... Now it is just titties and fillers and I dont know what not....Bullshit....
this world is perfect.
All though I’m still a young 18 year old the only person who’ve I’ve ever loved was taken from me in December of 2020 I miss you grandma I will always love you
my heart understands. growing up in a "normal" family, my grandma was the only one who i felt loved by. her love for me was fiercely beautiful and precious. she's been gone 23 years, and i keep her picture on my dresser. i wish you all the best, it's there waiting for you!
Those are very special and chosen words
Hang in there my friend we all love you
18 yrs old ! ... great song you obviously listen to words of a song .. good for you !
She's watching you and loving you
I'm 63 wish we could go back to these days, it so much SIMPLER
it wasnt easier for the oppressed. it was just easier to ignore a lot seemed easier because so many had to suffer in silence. you couldnt be gay. you couldnt divorce your husband. women couldnt get loans or a home. segregation required people of color tohave separate bathrooms and entrances and less of everything and on and on. it aeemed simpler because we ignored so much
Amen.
not sure about simpler...but way more fun and way better music...
D white I agree so much simpler good 🎵 music also,,,,@@grannyjudi1
I played this song at my husband's bedside as he was in ICU .He passed away 12 hours later of heart failure. We were married 47 yrs ago . We would dance to this song .
RIP, my love

God bless you ❤
Beautiful song. I lost mine 3 years ago, so my heart goes out to you.
I sang this song to my wife at the end. Was it enough ?
Who is listening this song in 2024...?
One of my favourites makes me think about Deb
@@gordoncovell7864 wow nice
Se dici questo domandati cosa il tuo cuore ti dice oggi nel 2024..guardati intorno e rifletti
Me! my in-laws were from northern Ireland, like Van. i love the simplicity of the video and the older woman near the end reminds me of Lettie, my mother in law. It's a hymn to all of life, imho
❤
I sing this song constantly to my daughter with Down Syndrome... love it!
How beautiful, Dad ❤️
So nice,..She was born to a wonderful Mother...Stay safe..
So beautiful ❤️
The world needs more people like you! Hope you and your daughter are doing great
You must love your daughter truly 😊🤗
I'm 50 years old and just recently started listening to Morrison's music. Do I feel like I've missed out on some of the best music ever made . But no worries I'm gonna play it over and over again. This song gives me hope and gladness.
Never too late. I started 50 years ago and he has been beside me throughout. Music for the soul.
I'm 67 from Vancouver Island, B.C,I've been listening since 1969,when he was with Van Morrison & Them,Gloria and Brown Eyed Girl. ❤
Vans music reaches right into my soul like no other.A lyrical genius.
Oh yes, Brown Eyed Girl & Gloria - great energy songs that are etched in my soul. Van Morrison, one of a kind, songwriter, singer, performer, entertainer. Love this guy. ❤
Play it every day. I told my husband if I go before you…please play this song and video
The comments to this song made my eyes fill up. Sorry for everyone's loss ❤️
Lost my youngest sister on the 2nd January 2019, you are always on my mind, love you forever until we meet again.
@@jamesflood9914 sorry to hear that!
To ALLOF YOU I PRAY FOR YOU
THIS SONG IS ABOUT GOD HES SINGING TO GOD THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
THANK YOU GOD 🙏
You took the words out of my mouth. It is love that makes the world go round.
The comments from those whose loved ones have passed on are deeply touching, meaningful and beautiful
This is for my amazing husband Phil.
Losing you 💔 broke my heart.
Loving you was so easy. Your smile was mesmerising.

Hello
Since we first met at the age of sixteen, I have been with the same wonderful girl who has helped me through all of my challenges. After fifty-two years of marriage, I've come to the realization that the good Lord above has blessed me beyond measure with her unwavering love, children, and grandchildren. Women are truly exceptional; they make the best companions. The best things are simple! A man has struck it lucky when he discovers a good woman. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of her love.
My favourite song too
I feel same way we were married for 63 years. We had arguments like most other couples but we wouldn't go to sleep without settling it beforehand. Next day we were back to normal. (whit
settled it
He that finds a finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour of the LORD 👌🏽✝️😊🙏🏽
Amen ❤
I have danced with my daughter to this song all her life. She is 20 this year & still loves to dance with me to this song. Today she started on her career path. Her parents are mighty proud of her. It's been a huge pleasure to watch this beautiful young lady grow up. We tell her every day we love her.
I had sung this to my boys when they were babies. Now, when they hear me put it on, you know I'll be singing along, a little tear in my eye (they are now late 20's, young, kind men).
She's a lucky young lady.
I danced with my daughter at her wedding to this song, priceless!
I have just lost my wife of 33 years to cancer ,this was our song and will be used at the celebration of life service on the 23 rd April 2024 xxx
So sorry for your loss.
Bless you. Try and be strong and remember the joy you shared.
I am so sorry for your lost
Deeply sorry for your loss.
sorry for your loss
I am African and have always known this song as i was growing up listening to it in Cameroon. But i really fell in love with it while living in Sweden around the year 2000 and it was played at a friends wedding.
I lost my only daughter,she loved this song, heartbreaking 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
Love and comfort to you Shirley
My sincere condolences ❤
Hugs xxx❤
I couldn't live on if I lost my one and only child: my daughter. May God give you the comfort, endurance, and hope you need until you see her again.
Godspeed to you
I can't listen to this without tears.....we need to hear those words from someone who really means it. 🥺❤️
what a wonderful comment lady.......saying it is easy, meaning it takes courage, showing it takes nothing at all......all the best to you....
Ain't it the truth. We all need to hear those words. Quite simply this song is a masterpiece. Someday again, I hope.
@@alanspringett9233 . You are so right. Once a good girlfriend who has been through a lot said to me, "don't listen to what they say so much Karen, pay more attention to what they do". She was so wise and I wish I'd listened closer to her then , years ago. Wow, the lessons we have to learn. Some just learn quicker. 😊
@@andrewrudzinski5653 . If you're saying someday then you are manifesting it to happen Andrew. It will happen when you do that.
@@karent3004 Many men are wordsmiths, can talk you into anything- pleasure or regret.......few of us learn quicker without negative influence or experience, then we may become bitter and blind to a good soul......i waited 38 years to be with my wife, she'd been destroyed by men like i had by women........we celebrate our 25th next year........wisdom only comes with time , patience is more important.......you sound like someone who has a lot to give, the lucky guy is out there....in the words of the song- ' just haven't met you yet.'..........all the best to you Karen T......
Perhaps this song should be played by every radio station every day at 12 noon to remind us that we are nothing without love….
This was my Dad and Mums song so,so,beautiful so,so special, l love this song beautiful memories .Dad told my Mother he loved her every single day .❤🙏🥰🕊Thank you Van Morrison ❤️
It was written for God
My dad use to blare this song through the house when he was alive. I still miss him very much.

Hello
God Bless Her
One of the most beautiful and poignant songs ever. It brings tears to my eyes and deep emotions in my heart. Thank you, Van Morrison for such a beautiful performance.
After fifty years of life, I finally found God (Jesus) in my life. Amazingly so, I also found a love in this life as I had never known. Thank you, God, for your son and the precious woman you have placed in my life.
Have you listened to his song,God Shines A Light by Ban & another guy,I ❤️ it and play it and all Van Morrisons songs,started with Them,Gloria, best is Tupelo Honey,Brown Eyed Girl 👧 ❤️ 🇨🇦 🍁
Welcome to the kingdom family. Thank you for opening the door for Jesus. You'll never regret this decision.
IN JESUS HOLY NAME I PRAY AMEN
@@lala-gj4oo Is this the Jesus who wants non-believers and people of other religions to suffer an eternal sunburn? Great GUY!
@@nickiewilson9134 Sorry for the correction but the correct title for my dear friend, Van's other song, among many written to God's Glory is, "Whenever God Shines His Light (On Me)". It was written by Van as a duet with Sir Cliff Richard on the album, "Avalon Sunset". Music critic, Patrick Humphries said, "It's the most manifest example of Morrison's Christian commitment". "Cash Box" declared that, "If George Harrison could have a hit, praising Hare Krishna with, "My Sweet Lord", Van could definitely do it with his totally engaging, "Whenever God Shines His Light" (which praises the One True God). If you're having a sad day it's the kind of song to lift your spirits & get your toes tapping too!🙂
I am 68 years old. 28 years ago I lost the love of my life. I still cry when I hear this song and think of her. So sad, and yet so beautiful at the same time. Ana I love you ?
robichard I am so, sorry for your loss. May this song bring you peace. 💖
I understand how you feel....
I am sure she is with you every time you listen to it.
God bless
robichard I hope you find love again.
I love this song and always think of my love, be strong , your friend
You have to see this amazing,ing artist in concert & his band is truly majestic, my husband and his best buddy once had several albums, now cd's they would rock on all night long to Van the Man,
When my husband was in the late cancer stages before entering palliative care, he could hardly stand, I would take him down to our family room, & we would put on the last cd that van made and ,I would hold my husband tight,& safe, we would dance to a few songs , my husband would smile and dance, it gave him a sense of stamina, and a smile, I'll always remember, it just was totally amazing how this man,Van Morrison could give a man an energy through his music, I cry just thinking about happy it made a dying man,happy for a few moments, rest in peace Larry, 🙏, I'll always play, "Someone like you" for you and me and picture us dancing, love you always! ❤😊❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Reading with tears in my eyes I'm so sorry your husband' sounds like one hell of a man.
@@donnaplatten4038 sorry for your loss, may you find peace in the remembrance of the good times you spend together. You will meet him again at the east gate.
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
For the morning sun and all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow, you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Merci
I never get tired of listening to this love and very contemplative melody and lyrics. As I listen carefully, Van Morrison was rendering this song to God....
My wife died three weeks ago. We danced to this song at our wedding 18 years ago. She took away my sadness and now it is all back and I cry often.
May she RIP and you find your happiness again
This journey brings of hope and prayers for healing.. Sixto Rodriguez I think of you...One day at time...Stay strong..
I'm so sorry.
I'm writing this from my husband's account. He died 10/22/20. We had been together for 22 years, 2 months and 22 days!
Van Morrison was his all-time favorite artist. This song will forever bring tears of both sadness and happiness for the 22 years I was blessed to have his love.
Thomas, your grief will heal slowly, but surely, but it will NEVER disappear completely! I been thru this with two of the best men both having died far too early in life. I pray you take comfort in the love you shared w/ her.
I’m sorry for your loss. You will walk through a tunnel and some day get back into the light. Be open to help and friendship from wherever. Take care x
I have been with my wife,best friend,confidant,advisor,lover for forty five years, every year on our anniversary, we open a bottle of champagne we look into each others eyes, hold each other as we did the first time we knew we were mean"t for each other and dance to this song.

I am so sorry for you for your loss.
My husband of 25 years and my song. I lost him from cancer last year. This song makes me smile and cry.
Bless you Mrs Thurman. X

Heard this song the other day. Rocked me to my core. Stirred old memories to life. It's creeping up on twelve years since you changed your address to heaven... Take away my sadness that you did and so much more my beautiful, loving wife. You made me the man I am. The dreams we shared, some did come true. The plans we made for our golden years I will try to fulfill my love. The days are long, sometimes the nights are even longer. It rained last week for a night. As I laid in our bed alone with the window ajar I listened to the rain softly falling and remembered when we would lie there whispering to one another not to drownd out the sound of the rain... I will do what God put me on earth to do with diligence and pride till if and when he does call for me for I long to see your smile and scoop you up in my arms and never more let you go...
Mr. Morrison, Thank you sir for writing this and so many other beautiful songs through the years. If I didn't know better I would say that these women we wrote about were cut from the same cloth. Thank you for taking a moment to comment on my words inspired by your words. P.S. I have been well entertained and moved for over fifty years from your lyrics sir. God bless. @George Ivan Morrison
That wa beautiful ! God will reunite you day and the joys can continue to live on.Cherish the memories my friend and God Bless !!
Beautiful sir
Your words are outstanding what an awesome soul you are. I'm in love with you now forever and always. I have an inoperable brain tumor. Cheers heaps of respect to you from sandra
Awe u make me weep ….my husband past last week 59 yo …stroke….I miss the laughfter ♥️
Van Morrison has penned and performed perhaps the greatest love song ever produced. Whatever your interpretation!
+Don Weimer Adore this song. Makes me weep and takes me back a few years. I have 3 amazing children now all gown up and I relive their childhood every time.....Wishing it could happen all over again
+mary maughan-otten Mary, very nice comment. I've been a fan of Mr. Morrison since the 60's. I fully know where you're coming from. Van has a unique way of singing about love, god, spiritual things and life in general. The man is a musical legend if not genius! One of my favorite Van songs is "Hymns to the Silence." I believe it to be one of the most beautiful songs ever produced, by anyone. Check it out and let me know what you think. peace.
Yes I know it well. Its beautiful.
+mary maughan-otten It is indeed beautiful. It's magnificent the way Van's voice, the background singers, the organ, guitar, drums and especially the piano all blend together! I think I'll have a listen right now!
+Don Weimer I so agree with you ! I close my eye's and can feel romance and love !
Rarely has there been a song so beautiful, so inspirational, so soothing, so timeless and so far reaching into all our senses. Thank you Van Morrison 💝💖
I have heard this song many times, but heard it for the first time sung by Van Morrison on January 8, 2021. Beats all others. It...is...excellent.
yepper
The only other version I'm aware of is Rod Stewart's, which was very good, but not as good as this one, done by composer Van Morrison. Have you heard any other versions besides Rod's?
@@A47919 Kenny Rogers and Barry Manilow
Van wrote this song for our Lord. Some people think it’s a love song for a woman. It’s a love song for God.
@@kristenbbd isn't it for everyone regardless of believing or not ?
For those of us that continue to love the "love of their life", long gone......but want to say these words NOW.
Yes every day
So true
Yes...perfect💔
Why do we do that ?? I love him soooo much
This song is about his love for God.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
It makes me cry every time I hear it!It make me appreciate those I Love so dearly! And miss so many Family and Friends who left me to soon! And to my Beautiful Sister who passed 8 years ago, Who turned me on to VAN so many years ago! She adored him! I think he is singing to GOD and Thanking Him!
@L O Make sure to always tell the ones dear to you that you love them.......top of my buckett list! have instructed my kids to play this song at my funeral.
I absolutely love this song, dedicated to my husband 38 yrs ago, every now and again, I play it for him.
I agree! Such a beautiful song!
@@danielkirk6471 Alleluia! Every day that goes by I play this song in my mind and and one by one think of all that no longer are with me. I miss them terribly........🙏
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Why would anyone want to listen to another version? Superb piano playing. Van you’re inspired by God and angels! 👆👏❤👍 Soulful and the vocal phrasing is out of this world. How many guitarists can emulate that keyboard intro?🧐
Who's listening in 2021 gives me goose bumps
❤️
❤️
Yes, back in 1989, I was contemplating on getting married, after I saw this video and heard this song multiple times, I decided to marry my girlfriend. We've been married for almost 32 years. And after a few years I realized that this song was talking about the Lord.
Here!
❤️❤️
I love this song so much that I can’t stop listening and watching. God’s blessings to Van and all of you. 🙏
I lost my husband in October 2021, very suddenly, no goodbyes. Had just celebrated 27 beautiful years.❤ Today would’ve been 29 years. He always tried to sing this song to me and every time it made me smile.☺️ Here’s to you babe.😘. Happy Anniversary.🥰
Hello, I read your comment and I want to let you know that I'm sorry that you lost your husband. You can be sure, he is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word, that was written down in the bible for us. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your husband again here on earth?! For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.." ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out (John 5:28). He means that there will be a time on earth, when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for your future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friend, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel
Van Morrison an old soul and beautiful man!
One of the best songs ever written and recorded as only Van Morrison could sing. This song is so soothing. It definitely eases my trouble. Perfect for this misfortune we are all going through now. God bless you always.
100 % agree.
Could not agree less Victoria. This song for me is bland, commercial MOR mediocrity. This is Van Morrison we have here not Engelbert Humperdink. Van Morrison for me is 'Tupelo Honey', And The Healing Has Begun; ;Into The Mystic'' In The Garden', 'Enlightenment' etc.etc. This song is analogous with a great poet like Bob Dylan writing and recording 'Baby Stop Crying'. It's personal taste of course .
Amen sis.
🙏🙏🙏
thank you for being a good fan of my music and thank you for all your support for several years, write me a direct message on my private gmail at Vanmorrison.private1@gmail.com
A song like this expresses the truth of and simple beauty of love. This song gets to my soul and reminds of the blessings in life. It always make me cry.
+Randall Mallard I feel the same !!!!
+Randall Mallard I first heard this on his greatest hits in 1990. I pulled over the side of the road and cried. I didn't think a love like this existed. Now, twenty-five years later, I'm living it. There are people that God puts into your life that care. Thank you for your comment.
+Randall Mallard You seems to be a very thoughtful guy..cheers
....existed ...i am 63 years old and i am living that every day since 1979 , i am happy for you .
[Sorry for my English] .
---Mathew from Athens - Greece--
TheMattrump This Song is a real Masterpiece my Friend !!! Gypsy Sally Lamarthy.
Played this for my pa and Ma,s funerals and every time I hear it on the radio I know they are near!! Luv u van the man!!
I my opinion this is better than Rod Stewart's version, I could be in the minority and I'm ok with that. The melody and his gritty voice just captures you
Me too
This is van Morrisons song he wrote it .
Van Morrison version is the best. It gives me chills. I love the piano in the beginning especially .
The original and the best
F Rod Stewart, an absolute tosser!
The lyrics, the melody, the voice... just beautiful.
Amen ⭐️
Absolutely
It’s a precious gem 💎 so beautiful .
@@annharriman2510 So beautiful .
@@mandysampieri5720 lt truly is! Thank you.
I ❤ this song!!! My dad always sang it to
me. He died in 1999. I miss him, and my mom everyday!!!

Hello Ramona, I'm very sorry that you lost your parents, you can be sure, they are now safe in God's memory. But God promises you a time, when you will be able to see them again here on earth. Revelations 21:3-5 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune. In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says ..."come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves. For my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.” Dear Ramona, if you are interested I send you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,good news from God" www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/ and I'm sure that this article will build you up, because the future look's much better than most of the people expect because God loves you and what he promises will not fail. I wish you all the best for your future and send you my best regards, Michel
Hugs to you Romana. Xxx❤
@@nigelyates7577 ciao amico!🙋😍😘💘🍀
I'm not even religious (at all) and this made me tear up. So much beauty in this world.
+Devon Ping I'm a Christ follower and a nurse (and therefore a type of scientist) and I see no conflict at all.
Apparently, you are...😊😊
you see the light! that's what that is! That's all...that simple! you got it...Beauty- God...not human literary ideals. Songs like this are truly a window to the soul
GOD the Creator is real ! seek and you will find ...I promise !
You don't have to be religious to realize that the world is beautiful
Our song for over forty years. This is the first time I’ve been able to listen, since he passed away four years ago.
Years ago i interpreted this song as being about our Creator. Still do.
To my wife Tammy who went to be with Jesus 5 years ago I love you there is no one like you. Your husband john!
So sorry for your loss.
@@cas95515 thank you
God bless you my brother. So sorry for your loss. You will be reunited in heaven.
Strp
That's telling it like it is. Beautiful words.
When my wife and I were dating way back when, we had an argument that resulted in a temporary separation. I don't even remember what it was about now. When we talked and fixed whatever was wrong, this song was playing. It became "our song". It was our choice for the first dance at our wedding and it saw regular play in our homes over the years. I lost her 5 1/2 years ago. Whenever I hear this song, my entire life with her replays like a movie. 27 years together and gone in a flash. I think this is the most beautiful song ever written.
This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. God bless. "I'm calling out your name tonight" by Richie Levoi ua-cam.com/video/JSbGGiSe3S8/v-deo.html
Correct...This song is second to none in spirituality and relativity, because without love even from above there's no reason to live for the truth that sets one free is that GOD IS LOVE
Awe Godbless u….that really makes my heart sad….my husband just past 12/21/21. I never nu sorrow can take u too if u don’t watch yourself. Crazy how it plays on your mind just by loving soo much. Reading all these gives some comfort that we r all in the same boat.
Sounds like a wonderful woman. Hope you have found comfort
I played this at my husband's funeral 2 years ago, it was our favourite song to dance to. 😪
There is no one living or dead who's ever been better than Van Morrison in my mind. Or ever will be. He is brought me so much joy to my life.
Surprised no one has commented that originally Van wrote this to God, it started as a prayer.
Thanks for posting this. it reminded me so much of a heartfelt prayer to God. As a quiet Christian, that's what i love to pray. Loving prayers to a loving God who loves each hair on our head!
Thank you. I had no idea.
That’s wonderful,thanks for sharing ❤
I recognize that he's singing to God and thanking him. He's telling God that he loves him.
Yes, it was. A beautiful song almost ruin by Rod Stewart.😮
possibly the greatest love song written ever.
ivan yallop l agree crying no
Have I told you lately that I love you.
I agree
I agree the best
ivan yallop . Very easily...A song you`ll never forget. Soulful and emotional. I love Van Morrison.
My baby girl, l love you Caroline, it’s been almost 5 years now, think about you every day, daddy’s girl❤️❤️😇 just listening, after a few times, he just might and probably is singing about the LORD😍😇
❤
Sorry for your loss.I lost my husband on 23rd September 2017 to cancer......miss and love him still! God has been my strength throughout!
hes still here with you (:
Hello
Lost my wife 4 years ago June 19th. After 44 years of marriage and 4 years dating before that. Cancer is the most horrible thief! When I listen to Van it brings back beautiful memories! LOVE YOU FOREVER JOANNE!
I am in the same position. My wife died one year ago,we spent 55 years together. The love of my life. This song makes me cry😔
I lost my wife 28 years ago. RIP Judy Ann.
23 years after her death Amanda entered my world. I never thought I could feel that kind of love again. The fullness has returned but the emptiness and loss will never leave.
I hope you find your miracle too.
I think its O K to cry.
When they say Love Hurts it surely does, especially when you lose them to cancer. The pain is shared and difficult to bear!
The best to all of you l never had a relationship last longer than 6years mainly l get train wrecks be on my own for 5years bringing up my two children ,their mother abandoned them when they were 7 and 8
So sorry for your loss ….I too lost my husband 12/21/21 …the sorrow is heart wrenching in this quiet house …..
It’s the way Van sings it that makes it touch your soul.
LEGEND
@1993 our souls are colorless.
Signal Absolutely. Couldn't have expressed that better myself....Never really FELT this song til I heard him sing it. ")
You nailed it
one of the best songs written and song it goes stright to the heart and soul
Thats my wife on the swing at about 2:04 😊
I heard this yesterday at a close friends funeral... It made me cry 😭
However, it was a celebration of our beautiful friends life... Therefore, it also managed to make me smile - Bitter/Sweet Emotions! Xx
jane brown ... You need to get out more then.
I too am playing it at my husbands memorial on friday
I had this song in a dvd made with a slide of photos of my husband & ppl loved it… they were saying how much they loved this song. The dvd was a tear jerker😢
This is one of those rare pieces of music that belongs on a special list of some kind... The way the backing music is played, the voice of van morrison, it all comes together, perfectly..... I have Van's album " moon dance"... One of those that the whole thing is good, never gets old.. Etc... The first time I heard it was early 70,'s on an 8 track tape.. I knew, I had to have it...
Bob Dylan
I lost my husband 8 weeks ago and this was always my song to him. We played it at his funeral. Hearing it now still feels like he can hear me singing along. Aluvya my man ❤❤❤❤
🙏❤️❤️
I’m so very sorry …. I lost mine too a month ago….I miss him so ….I just pray life will get better for me….how are u adjusting?
@@lizforbes8022 not doing too well at minute. Feel so lost without him. We were together 41 yrs like my whole adult life. But you will know that feeling.❤ Im so sorry you are going through the same pain. Lets just prayer we can adjust to life without them and see them again one day xxxx
@@dawntannahill6892 yes will pray for strength…..I had a talk with God & he told me to focus on him not my husband. That my husband is happily loving his new life of a life to talk and participate in sports now. So yes I’ve turned my focus to God & im much more cheerful now.
Love......I had 41 Yrs of ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I dedicate this song to my wee Dog My companion You Fill my my heart with gladness take away my sadness You ease my troubles that's what you do…
This song, along with Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" are ultra special songs for all of humanity! God Bless You Van Morrison for giving us this special piece of music!
you were so lucky
Sitting and listening with my wife. And I love her, more and more with each passing day. Now let's get rid of Covid - 19, all over the world.
To my boyfriend luv you. Always will. Barb. The best thing that ever happened to me.
Yes! Get rid of pandemic!!
This song was played in a memorial video for my grandfather in October 2013. Hearing it again reminds of him. I love & miss you Grandpa ❤️
Beautiful song. Memories of my late husband too.
some things are so beautiful the only thing I can do is cry...this is one of those rare ones. thank you Van. Thank you Lord for Van.
I sent this classic to a dear, long time friend after hearing he was hit with Covid. It is helping me today after hearing from his family that he is on a ventillator. My dear big man, a marine, a retired police inspector, a hazmat instructor, and 27 years of treasured friendship. I am ever grateful we spoke before he was hospitalized. And told him l love him. I will always love you Matt.
Thank you " You Tube "
Well what can I add here about this song that so many have exspress already. Rod Stewart did a cover on this song, but sorry Rod my money is on Van. He does so much better. Thankyou Van
This was my wedding song when I married my beautiful wife, Melissa....30 years ago
Hi James. Greetings from California. Same for me and the Mrs.
Its like " message in a Bottle" ,- when I read the comments here I understand Im not alone with my grief & sadness
No matter how things go,listen to this song,you will feel better.
It's the best song of Praise I've no ever heard. Van Morrison wrote it for God
yeah, after you're through wiping away the tears
Definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
