I actually grew up loving this song. My father used to sing it to us whenever he put me and my 3 brothers to sleep. He may have told me but I had forgotten it was a real song until my sophomore year in college and a teacher sung it at the end of class. Although I'm happy that so many people enjoy it, I honestly posted it for myself so that I can hear it whenever I get homesick or miss my father.
Same here. It’s been a year since my dad passed, and anytime we were about to part or leave any type of gathering he would sing this song. Birthdays, church, grocery store. Lol. My old man was the best
My mom who was born in Italy with basically no family here in America left an abusive husband and raised five children by herself working from our home sewing. She never slept and was always working. She often says she slept about five hours a night for 20 years; however, the one show she made sure we watched together was the Carol Burnett show.Typing this brought tears to my eyes even though I still have my mom - thank you Carol as I'm so glad we had that time together.
The biggest thing about this song that breaks my heart is the realization that the day we finally lose Carol, this will be what we hear. And it will sum her up so beautifully!!!!
This song brings me back to Saturday nights in the 70's when I was a kid. It makes me think of how much has changed, how many people who were with us then that are no longer in our lives; but, I also know that the heart I had then is still the same and the things I loved and wished for may be gone, but they are not forgotten.
4021971 the song was in my head all day so I looked it up on UA-cam and here I watch. We did everything together and we looked forward to this special time. I thought about her pulling her ear and someone would always get her to do her Tarzan yell.
Me too!!! On his death bed, my dad said he wished he could go back in time. I would have given anything to save him from death and be able to go back in time with my daddy. It hurts so much to know I'll never be able to speak with him again. But I'm so glad we had the time together.
She used to sing the entire song at the end of each season before summer reruns. I remember always feeling sad that I wouldn't see her new shows again until fall...
I watched this show every night when it was on, but I never heard her do the entire song. It made me cry. Makes you realize how important the people who are meaningrful in your life really are.
I'm so glad we had this time together Just to have a laugh, or sing a song. Seems we just get started and before you know it Comes the time we have to say, 'So long.' There's a time you put aside for dreamin', And a time for things you have to do. But the time I like the best is in the evening - I can spend a moment here with you. When the time comes that I'm feelin lonely, And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue, I just sit back and think of you, only, And the happiness still comes through. That's why I'm glad we had this time together, 'Cause it makes me feel that I belong. Seems we just get started and before you know it Guess it’s time for me to say ‘So long.'
Yes, it brings tears to my eyes. Because , i remember this show back in the 70's. My parents would watch this on sat nights. CBS would have all in the family, mash, Mary Tyler Moore, the carol Burnett show.
Our whole family watched.(In those days families could watch tv together). The actors would always make each other laugh. The song always brought a tear to my eyes. And, yes, even now, it still does. I'm so glad we had that time together.
I love her so much... I don't know Exactly why this show and Ms Burnett meant so much to me as it did but, it really really did. I remember her final show and I remember my heart bursting to have to say goodbye. She always made things ok....or at least a little better than they were. There's no words that mean enough...💜💜💜
This is the song I want played at my funeral. Don't be sad. Be glad that we had the times together we had. Carol Burnett -- The Original San Antonio Rose ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I sing the first part of this song to my grade one class at the end of the day. I have loved Carol Burnett all my life and thank her for all the laughter she has provided to me. She is an icon and I love her!
I love this! I sometimes forget about how she had a beautiful singing voice. She was just so funny and such a talented comedienne, and it’s easy to forget about her other talents.
my old history teacher sang the first little bit of this song with us at the end of each class, he moved away to teach at another school in another state after my class graduated. this is really touching. :,(
...I love at the end when she grabs her earlobe, which was a message to her grandmother it let her know that she was doing well and that she loved her.
Like many folks here, it brings back memories of growing up. My mom and dad loved this show. Being the teenager I was, I typically thought the CB Show had some hip moments and, perhaps, I admit now that CB's old school style of comedy may seem dated along with the jokes but I love the theme song and I'm surprised more Jazz musicians haven't covered this song. I would have loved to hear what Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass as duet would have done with this song but I'll have to settle for Tuck and Patti instead! :)
I was a little kid when the Carol Burnette show was on and I thought it was the coolest. I got to stay up late and laugh with my grandparents & my parents. Most of them are gone, now. But I'm so glad we had the time together. 💗
She's so wonderful. A talented, truly beautiful lady who continues to bring happiness and real heart felt laughter into our homes. At the end of the show she would mesmerize us with this song, her lovely voice would move us to tears and a smile. A true American icon we have so few left. Thank you Ms. Burnett for all your sacrifices, for all you have given to the world. God Bless you and your loved ones.
I was allowed to stay up and watch this with my mom every weekend. I get choked up every time I hear this song. I miss the good old days. Mary Hartman, Bob Newhart, oh well....time moves on but we still have memories. ...and UA-cam. Lol!
This sums up how I feel about my friends and family. I may be exiting the stage sooner than I thought? This would be appropriate as the exit song at the funeral.
Hi Peggy -- I too have loved Carol since I "discovered" her when I was about 9 years old...I'm now 62! It's hard to believe as I watch this UA-cam clip that she is going to be 80 on Friday! On behalf of her fans everywhere, HAPPY 80TH CAROL! I'm one of so many that are "so glad we had this time together...!"
AMEN!!!! I love her so much! And I love singing this bit to my online friends whom I've NEVER met, yet we've known each other so well for YEARS and YEARS!
I'm so glad we had this time together, Just to have a laugh, or sing a song. Seems we just got started and before you know it Comes the time we have to say, 'So long.' There's a time you put aside for dreamin', And a time for things you have to do. The time I love the best is in the evening I can spend a moment here with you. When the time comes that I'm feelin lonely, And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue, I just sit back and think of you, only, And the happiness still comes through.
Annette Jenkins , I choose a huge lottery payout in lieu of this song I have the lyrics to this song I can sing and anytime and I have a computer I can watch this nice lady sing it so I can have my song and my huge lottery payout to but don't tell anybody
As our time in Morgan Hill comes to a close, I thought this song was a great way of saying goodbye! We have loved our 18 years here and are going to miss everyone very much! But the beach is calling us and we are answering in just 6 days.
It feels like a second ago i was watching this and even as a kid i remember how special this time was that a show that i shared with my family growing up watching and laughing was ending and i was going to miss it. With the times changing so much and people that are gone makes me miss those times so much more!!!
Thank you, Phillip for posting this. I just left a position as the custodian of a church; the church charwoman. I am also the secretary and I added this to the weekly email as my farewell to the cleaning job. It really spoke to how I am feeling about letting that job go.
If you aren't tearing up,there is something wrong. She made us laugh and cry. She still is a wonderful woman. Thank you Carol. From a proud Canadian fan. ❤🌹🇨🇦😄
Never saw the show in syndication, but they removed the closing music in the CBS version and replaced it with credits along with an animated Carol Burnett standing in a spotlight. This one and with the original "Mickey Mouse Club" sign-off song sounded familiar.
What ever happened to shows like this. Carol Burnett, Abbot and Costello, etc. They were actually funny. Now it's all about being foul mouthed. They say something profane and people laugh. There isn't even anything funny.
Not only profane, but also incorporating sexual innuendos as well. Add that to the already weakened state of writing known as "Political Correctness", and you now have the toxic compound called "Today's Comedy". Quite tragic.
Is this clip from her final sign-off in 1976? I LITERALLY grew up with her from the time I was 6 years old (1967) until I was in high school (1976). Carol defined funny for my generation and I will always love her for it :-D
I have some AMAZING "cyber-friends". People whom I've known FOR YEARS, and have developed such sweet, and deep bonds, that it boggles my mind HOW CLOSE we can be emotionally...yet physically? be nowhere near one another's zip code (or even country). I love these people, and they love me. So whenever I get to speak on the phone with any of the? THIS song truly embodies EXACTLY how I feel about them. Thanks Carol for bringing so much joy to so many different people with your brand of humor.
RIP Martin Manley - I'm saddened that I had never met you but I'm quite certain I will feel that I have always known you, when I'm done reading..... thank you for sharing your story with the world.
As time marches on, the era of the variety show will fade into the past. Good thing that UA-cam captures of memories of shows like these to remember what was.
I'm so glad we had this time together, i alway's loved you 'Carol Burnett!!!🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤ I alway's wanted to meet you, every sense i was a little girl!!!🥰❤🥰 May God continue blessing you 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
My grandmother Maria, who never spoke any language but her Portuguese, would move heaven and earth no matter where we might be to watch the Carol Burnett Show. As soon as Harvey and Tim appeared my grandmother would start laughing , even as reserved as she was, it was a pleasure to have had this show put such memorable moments in my grandmother's life and ours also. Thank you, Joe
I grew up around my great grandma; and all my great aunts, and uncles, and they all sang. We just lost one of our family members, and I’m so heart broken. Watching this, makes me think of them, cause my granny would always watch her.😢 I’m really an adult now! WOW!
I was 17 when this aired. It was SO SAD that it was OVER. This was before the Internet. When a show ended, you NEVER expected to see it again. This was part of the end of my childhood.
This is a beautiful song and it belongs with Bob Hope's "Thanks for the Memories". In the old 45 record days, those 2 could have been back-to-back. Thank you for posting this.
This take of Carol Burnett's classic song is So MUCH better than the vision hammed up by the overrated, young "star" weeks ago. The best part of that version, was Carol ending the song.
It was sad day in 1978 when the Carol Burnett show ending after 11 seasons on CBS. On the final show called An Evening With Carol Burnett. Her ending song brings tears to everybody's eyes. A good farewell song to use when one is moving to a new location to live and moving on to a better job. Also use as retirement.
“I’m so glad we had this time together, just to have a laugh or sing a song. Seems we just get started and before you know it, comes the time we have to say So Long. There’s a time you put aside for dreaming, and a time for things you have to do, but the time I like the best is any evening I can spend a moment here with you. When the time comes and I’m feeling lonely and I'm feeling oh so blue, I just sit back and think of you and me and the happiness still comes through. That’s why I’m ... glad we had this time together ‘cause it makes me feel that I belong. Seems we just get started and before you know it, guess it’s time for me to say So Long. “ (*wink, ear tug :)
My Best Friend and I, of 50yrs got together the past Weekend, hadn’t seen since fall, We do talk. It’s always bittersweet when we part. She sent a text referencing this song. Thank You Selena and Carol.🥰
Saw this song sung tonight on the MeTv network. Was just checking to see if this indeed was the final song. This TV show was an integral part of my youth. My parents , especially my father loved her. Your show is so missed. Good times.
MeTV brought me here,in a world of new music, chaos,rock,and hip hop,l think it would be rare if someone was to slow down,and listen to this,even though she rarely had black guest,l know that's how it was back then,lm a black man that still Love Carol,and this song she song at the end of every show.
This was a show I was always had to go to bed when my mother watched it. I remember her as the BEST Ms. Hannigan I have ever seen. But the show still comes on nightly, on weeknights. But I never heard the first verse until watching on Tubi. This entire song just makes me want to cry for some reason.
I used to sing a tailored version of the introductory verses of Carol's good night song to my daughter each night at bedtime when she was with me. Those were special bonding moments that live in our memories to this day. Thank you, Carol!
I actually grew up loving this song. My father used to sing it to us whenever he put me and my 3 brothers to sleep. He may have told me but I had forgotten it was a real song until my sophomore year in college and a teacher sung it at the end of class. Although I'm happy that so many people enjoy it, I honestly posted it for myself so that I can hear it whenever I get homesick or miss my father.
Good memory!
Thanks for the video and memories. God I love this woman. My favorite red head.! ♥
What a wonderful and inspiring story GOD BLESS
Same here. It’s been a year since my dad passed, and anytime we were about to part or leave any type of gathering he would sing this song. Birthdays, church, grocery store. Lol. My old man was the best
What a great memory.
My mom who was born in Italy with basically no family here in America left an abusive husband and raised five children by herself working from our home sewing. She never slept and was always working.

God Bless 🙏
I hope your mom is still with you 🙏
The biggest thing about this song that breaks my heart is the realization that the day we finally lose Carol, this will be what we hear. And it will sum her up so beautifully!!!!
I never thought about that, but it is true. Watch her show everynight. She is such a treasure. God Bless her
She is a national treasure and fortunately still with us in 2023
🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺🥺🥺📺
Yeah it makes me miss loved was cherish everyday you have with the ones you love tomorrow is never promised 💔😭🙏
Thank God for Carol Burnett 🙏🏻
This song brings me back to Saturday nights in the 70's when I was a kid. It makes me think of how much has changed, how many people who were with us then that are no longer in our lives; but, I also know that the heart I had then is still the same and the things I loved and wished for may be gone, but they are not forgotten.
4021971 beautifully stated
4021971 the song was in my head all day so I looked it up on UA-cam and here I watch. We did everything together and we looked forward to this special time. I thought about her pulling her ear and someone would always get her to do her Tarzan yell.
😢 oh stop it...will ya! 😭
4021971 well said
Me too
Oh how I wish I could go back in time a sit with my family in my parents living room and watch TV.
Me too!!! On his death bed, my dad said he wished he could go back in time. I would have given anything to save him from death and be able to go back in time with my daddy. It hurts so much to know I'll never be able to speak with him again. But I'm so glad we had the time together.
So sound I. Some days, I would give anything to go back, just for a little while, and live the good times over again.
The best sign-off song in the business! Great tune.
I love hearing Carol sing this song. it makes me think of life and how precious it is to share with family and friends. Good times.
She used to sing the entire song at the end of each season before summer reruns. I remember always feeling sad that I wouldn't see her new shows again until fall...
I watched this show every night when it was on, but I never heard her do the entire song. It made me cry. Makes you realize how important the people who are meaningrful in your life really are.
She is the loveliest lady in the field of comedy , an icon , a total original
I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just get started
and before you know it
Comes the time we have
to say, 'So long.'
There's a time you put
aside for dreamin',
And a time for things you have to do.
But the time I like the best
is in the evening -
I can spend a moment here with you.
When the time comes
that I'm feelin lonely,
And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue,
I just sit back and think of you, only,
And the happiness still comes through.
That's why I'm glad we
had this time together,
'Cause it makes me feel that I belong.
Seems we just get started
and before you know it
Guess it’s time for me to say
‘So long.'
Thanks for posting all the lyrics. I like the song even more now.
Yes, it brings tears to my eyes. Because , i remember this show back in the 70's. My parents would watch this on sat nights. CBS would have all in the family, mash, Mary Tyler Moore, the carol Burnett show.
Rest in peace Martin Marley. A great man that died exactly the way he wanted.
Beautiful. Thanks for the post. This beautiful song has resonated with me for years since the late 1960's when the show was on the air.
Anyone else tearing up?
(passes you a hankie)No😢😢😢😢
Yes!
I'm not crying (sniff sniff) you're crying
I'm chopping onions. Lots and lots of onions.
Yeah. dammit. yeah.
reminds me of my mom, she loved this show and we all watched it....miss you mom, you were the best...
Same here with my mom. She loved watching Carol Burnette Show and the sign off song. I miss her dearly.
SO LONG.........LEFT EAR TUG
This ear tug was not shown in syndication when it was part of "Carol Burnett & Friends".
Our whole family watched.(In those days families could watch tv together). The actors would always make each other laugh. The song always brought a tear to my eyes. And, yes, even now, it still does. I'm so glad we had that time together.
I love her so much...
I don't know Exactly why this show and Ms Burnett meant so much to me as it did but, it really really did.
I remember her final show and I remember my heart bursting to have to say goodbye.
She always made things ok....or at least a little better than they were.
There's no words that mean enough...💜💜💜
We had to watch TV as a family because we only had one TV
This is the song I want played at my funeral. Don't be sad. Be glad that we had the times together we had.
Carol Burnett -- The Original San Antonio Rose ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ditto 💜💜
Yup
I sing the first part of this song to my grade one class at the end of the day. I have loved Carol Burnett all my life and thank her for all the laughter she has provided to me. She is an icon and I love her!
Ahhh yes, the ol' ear tug at the end. Good stuff.
I love this! I sometimes forget about how she had a beautiful singing voice. She was just so funny and such a talented comedienne, and it’s easy to forget about her other talents.
I think this was the first adult show I watched as a kid. Eleven people would rather watch The Kardashians !!
Rest well, Tim Conway.
my old history teacher sang the first little bit of this song with us at the end of each class, he moved away to teach at another school in another state after my class graduated. this is really touching. :,(
R.I.P. Bertha Joye Cawley, my grandmother, forever in my heart.
*Ear tug* 😢💔💗
...I love at the end when she grabs her earlobe, which was a message to her grandmother it let her know that she was doing well and that she loved her.
"Cause it makes me feel like I belong" :'(

I remember this as if it was yesterday. She has such a beautiful voice. One of my favorite comedians.
Thank you, Carol.
I remember this show I miss those days when life was simple no worries and long summers out from school I miss the 70s
The classic version of Carol Burnett singing her closing theme song "I am so glad we had this time together."
It was right up there with the "Mickey Mouse Club Alma Mater" where the Mousketeers sang the closing.
RIP Martin Manley
She's so wonderful. A talented, truly beautiful lady who continues to bring happiness and real heart felt laughter into our homes. At the end of the show she would mesmerize us with this song, her lovely voice would move us to tears and a smile. A true American icon we have so few left. Thank you Ms. Burnett for all your sacrifices, for all you have given to the world. God Bless you and your loved ones.
Such a lovely song
I was allowed to stay up and watch this with my mom every weekend. I get choked up every time I hear this song. I miss the good old days. Mary Hartman, Bob Newhart, oh well....time moves on but we still have memories. ...and UA-cam. Lol!
This sums up how I feel about my friends and family. I may be exiting the stage sooner than I thought? This would be appropriate as the exit song at the funeral.
Laurie Green This is also my funeral song. As a dedicated humanist, this song, with its layers of sentiment hits all the right feels.
my dad sang this too my sisters and I every night before bed now I dying it to my kid
My dad did the same thing. and now I sing it to my son.
Hi Peggy -- I too have loved Carol since I "discovered" her when I was about 9 years old...I'm now 62! It's hard to believe as I watch this UA-cam clip that she is going to be 80 on Friday! On behalf of her fans everywhere, HAPPY 80TH CAROL! I'm one of so many that are "so glad we had this time together...!"
This always makes me cry Carol is still the best
AMEN!!!! I love her so much! And I love singing this bit to my online friends whom I've NEVER met, yet we've known each other so well for YEARS and YEARS!
I know
rioboy13 About to tell the same thing to someone as well :)
Awwww
I'm so glad we had this time together,
Just to have a laugh, or sing a song.
Seems we just got started and before you know it

And I'm feelin' ohooooo - so blue,
I just sit back and think of you, only,
And the happiness still comes through.
oy! what an emotional song! very sweet and sad.
My grandma sings this song to me whenever we have to say goodbye, now I know where it’s from😊
This song means more than anything!
Annette Jenkins , I choose a huge lottery payout in lieu of this song I have the lyrics to this song I can sing and anytime and I have a computer I can watch this nice lady sing it so I can have my song and my huge lottery payout to but don't tell anybody
As our time in Morgan Hill comes to a close, I thought this song was a great way of saying goodbye! We have loved our 18 years here and are going to miss everyone very much! But the beach is calling us and we are answering in just 6 days.
Martin Manley
Her husband, Joe Hamilton wrote this song. I especially love the second verse whcih she only did on the show a couple of times.
Yes that second verse, such simplicity yet so moving, I agree, it’s hard not to get a lump when listening
would you believe I thought of Carol Burnett and her Char Lady character this morning? "Thinkcroncity!" A millions thanks!!!
From the Heart.. God bless our Carol Burnett! :)
It feels like a second ago i was watching this and even as a kid i remember how special this time was that a show that i shared with my family growing up watching and laughing was ending and i was going to miss it. With the times changing so much and people that are gone makes me miss those times so much more!!!
Anyone know where I can purchase this song WITH the lyrics? Hopefully a real music quality recording. Thanks...
...beautiful...just beautiful...
I absolutely love this song....I shared it with my Teammates on my last day in the Department before moving into a few position....

Our family sings this after our get togethers.
NICHT! BNEIN!!! i VILL NICHEN CRYEN!!!!

Que recuerdos que maravillosos años
Thanks Carol for the time.
Bedtime prompt in my house during the 80's❤️
Magnificent!!! There are no other words.
As time marches on, the era of the variety show will fade into the past. Good thing that UA-cam captures of memories of shows like these to remember what was.
Loved this show.....They were all so damn funny....Especially when they tried to stop from cracking up while performing.
I needed this song this morning. She is so beautiful.
I'm so glad we had this time together, i alway's loved you 'Carol Burnett!!!🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤ I alway's wanted to meet you, every sense i was a little girl!!!🥰❤🥰 May God continue blessing you 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
My grandmother Maria, who never spoke any language but her Portuguese, would move heaven and earth no matter where we might be to watch the Carol Burnett Show. As soon as Harvey and Tim appeared my grandmother would start laughing , even as reserved as she was, it was a pleasure to have had this show put such memorable moments in my grandmother's life and ours also. Thank you, Joe
I grew up around my great grandma; and all my great aunts, and uncles, and they all sang. We just lost one of our family members, and I’m so heart broken. Watching this, makes me think of them, cause my granny would always watch her.😢 I’m really an adult now! WOW!

It was sad day in 1978 when the Carol Burnett show ending after 11 seasons on CBS. On the final show called An Evening With Carol Burnett. Her ending song brings tears to everybody's eyes. A good farewell song to use when one is moving to a new location to live and moving on to a better job. Also use as retirement.
“I’m so glad we had this time together, just to have a laugh or sing a song.
Seems we just get started and before you know it, comes the time we have to say So Long.
There’s a time you put aside for dreaming, and a time for things you have to do, but the time I like the best is any evening I can spend a moment here with you.
When the time comes and I’m feeling lonely and I'm feeling oh so blue,
I just sit back and think of you and me
and the happiness still comes through.
That’s why I’m ... glad we had this time together ‘cause it makes me feel that I belong.
Seems we just get started and before you know it, guess it’s time for me to say So Long. “
(*wink, ear tug :)
My Best Friend and I, of 50yrs got together the past Weekend, hadn’t seen since fall, We do talk. It’s always bittersweet when we part. She sent a text referencing this song. Thank You Selena and Carol.🥰
Saw this song sung tonight on the MeTv network. Was just checking to see if this indeed was the final song. This TV show was an integral part of my youth. My parents , especially my father loved her.
Your show is so missed. Good times.
MeTV brought me here,in a world of new music, chaos,rock,and hip hop,l think it would be rare if someone was to slow down,and listen to this,even though she rarely had black guest,l know that's how it was back then,lm a black man that still Love Carol,and this song she song at the end of every show.
This was a show I was always had to go to bed when my mother watched it.
I remember her as the BEST Ms. Hannigan I have ever seen.
But the show still comes on nightly, on weeknights.
But I never heard the first verse until watching on Tubi.
This entire song just makes me want to cry for some reason.
I used to sing a tailored version of the introductory verses of Carol's good night song to my daughter each night at bedtime when she was with me. Those were special bonding moments that live in our memories to this day. Thank you, Carol!
Si!
Now network TV is a disgusting circus and all media is full of profanity. The world is what you make of it.
RIP Tim
I love this but why is she dressed like her character Miss Hannigan from Annie? 🤣
My dad usted to sing this song all the time when I was growing up
I'm now old. The song is beautiful. We have to teach the 'yutes' beauty. :)
