      I feel the same way. My first boyfriend from 1955, stopped seeing each other in the ‘60s and got back together in ‘72, stopped seeing each other in the ‘80s, gave me away in my commitment ceremony on 02/29/96, made his transition on the same date in 2020, loved this song. When I hear Mr. Hathaway do this, I tear up, for real! Much love James from me!

    I'm facing one of the hardest times in my life, battling depression, a lost marriage and family, recently laid off from a job. I don't know where the road will lead, I know tomorrow is never promised, so to stay alive and well, I will wish everyone of you the greatest gift I can give you..my prayer, for you and your loves, your dreams which you feel are dead are never until you are. Your light shines in a corner of the world to someone's darkness, someone you may never see, but they see that light, through your words, from your soul you can reach them, even but one, to save their life and let them hold on to just one word, to keep them alive for just one more minute, to see another hour shine like the sun. To make it through the day, to kiss the sweet spot of their pillow before the night may close on all hopes. This is my prayer.

One could say it's no way a man can write and sing, as well as deliver a song like this unless he truly lived it. His vocal talents reaches beyond ur soul and brings you right in to his very moment. At some point in our lives we all have experienced the same things he has,however Donny brung those emotions to life.

    I lost my father last year. He passed on Saint Patrick's Day. I would have seen him that night and spent it with him, my brothers, nephews and friends. We always hung out on Fridays. Laughing, arguing, drinking and listening to music. It was the best times. Things aren't the same now. I'm so blessed to have had him. For him to see my sons grow and for them to know their grandfather. Forever the life of the party. He was 83. I love you and miss you more then I can ever express Pop. I hope you understand and forgive me for some of the things that I never thought to say.

      When I got the call that my father was about to pass on at 88 years old I got to the hospital in time to say goodbye. He had a tube in his neck for breathing
      and a blank stare on his face. I began to wail. Suddenly a feeling came over me. I pulled myself together and apologized for being selfish for just wanting him here and not thinking about how he’d become a shell of himself. When I said I’m sorry I know you’re tired and God wants you back home with him. He loved you first best and more than I ever could. Please forgive me. A tear rolled out his beautiful brown eyes onto his handsome face. I knew then he heard me. As long as you gave your dad his flowers while he could smell them, trust me he knows how you feel. God Bless☮️💙🙏🏽

    There are few artists that can bring forth such joy & pain thru their voice, their music. Donny's one of em. Great music always outlive its era & the musician, it continues to live, to evoke, to move ppl. I have feelings of happiness & sadness, makes me think about my mom, who went on to Glory, early 2011. She introduced me to Donny Hathaway's music as a child. Hearing his music, this song particularly, I can see her thru him. Rest in paradise mom & Donny!!
