- Peter, Paul and Mary perform "Puff, the Magic Dragon" live at their 25th anniversary concert in 1986. Now, two and a half decades later, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the formation of the group in the famed Greenwich Village, this joyous yet deeply moving live concert is being first released on DVD by Shout! Factory.

The lyrics for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" were based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton, a 19-year-old Cornell University student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon", about a "realio, trulio little pet dragon."
The lyrics tell a story of the ageless dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy who grows up and loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff alone and depressed. (Because of the line "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys", the lyrics may imply to some that Jackie Paper dies.) The story of the song takes place "by the sea" in the fictional land of Honalee (the spelling used by author Lenny Lipton, though non-authoritative variations abound.)
Lipton was friends with Peter Yarrow's housemate when they were all students at Cornell. He used Yarrow's typewriter to get the poem out of his head. He then forgot about it until years later, when a friend called and told him Yarrow was looking for him, to give him credit for the lyrics. On making contact Yarrow gave Lipton half the songwriting credit, and he still gets royalties from the song.
In an effort to be gender-neutral, Yarrow now sings the line "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys" as "A dragon lives forever, but not so girls and boys." The original poem also had a verse that did not make it into the song. In it, Puff found another child and played with him after returning. Neither Yarrow nor Lipton remembers the verse in any detail, and the paper that was left in Yarrow's typewriter in 1958 has since been lost.

Lyrics:
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
It's 2024! Happy New Year and who's still listening to this amazing song??💞💞
I listen most nights! Makes me remember when I was young!
I heard this song about 10 years ago and I never left my mind again. I love it and play it at least onze a week!
Me
♡
It’s April 2024 and I’m still listening with tears in
My eyes
As a young kid, I loved this song! I am now 70 and still love it! Always will!
Puff never died he lives on
Dragons live forever but not so little boys 🙁
At 73 years old, I still love singing this, and I still cry! Am I a stupid old man? If I am, I don't really care!
Not stupid at all 😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕉️🕉️🕉️❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️😍😍😍😍🎶🎶🎶🎶☮️☮️☮️☮️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
You're not alone...You and I are the same age and the meaing of this song is deep...I play it for the grandkids hoping someday when I've been long gone they'll have that 'A'ha moment' and remember their old Grandpa! Caryy on my friend, we lived during the best of times AND MUSIC!
I am 71 and I will ALWAYS love this song
Je mi 80 pisen slyším poprvé,kdo mi pošle text?
I am younger, not by much. Like you, I love the song, one that I learnt whilst attending secondary school in Hong Kong. What a memory.
We don’t get old because time passes. We get old because we forget how to play.
My God Ryan!!!!!!! Thank YOU for Such a GREAT Reminder.
Hit the nail on the head
@@ellensankey7126 For Sure For Sure!!!
True
Never ever lose the 'child' in you!! ❤
Who cut the onions??? This song will stand the test of time. Such a beautiful song
Peter, Paul, and Mary were the Mister Rogers of musical icons. So pure, honest, and sweet their music was. RIP Mary
and peter raped a 14 year old back in the 60s got only three months
My son has a terminal illness, he will never leave his dragon. this is such a beautiful song.
@Arthur Archambeau same
God bless you boy 💁🏻♀️♥️ for ever 🎄
God be with him!
May God bless him and your family
Your beautiful son needs the love and prayers of all Christian folks!! I pray for you and your fine son.Best wishes Shaun. Love Ed Sauer.
70 years old and still moved to tears at the loss of innocence.
I have herd this song more than a 1000 times and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye every time
I think childhood ended when I realized I was Jackie Paper
Yes since I was a kid during 60/ 70 that's my favorite singer during my high school days I,m 70 years old I'm Philippines.
It reminds of a world we have loat forever
Makes me think of all the boys our hometown lost during Vietnam.
@@dongcanales995 Just goes to show, we are all connected by something! I am 70, live in Ohio, love this song! God Bless you!
I laughed and sang with them. 'Til I found myself teary eyed with this song as I realize what it meant.
What does it mean?
It is a song about innocence lost! I was a school librarian for years! I love to read, tried to make kids love reading! Magic in books!
@@rhondaboncutter5812 I thought it was about smoking grass
@@jackprescott9652 That is a myth.

The innocence of this song will never be lost.
I miss the magic of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s where the innocence of children were still important enough to preserve, and the morality and value system in our society were still in tact. I miss community before social media, and the freedom to dream and imagine. Thank You Peter, Paul and Mary 🙏🏼 for songs were the stories that allowed us to go on journey’s to places unimaginable.
Communities are built. The world may be too busy to acknowledge when you've found it. But, what we grow together is often more private than it should be. There's not enough ratings, there's not enough hate for these leaches to spread. Regardless, positive, beautiful messages continue to change the world for the better. This song is a perfect example of that.
I miss the music my sister would sing this song to me nightly to put me to sleep
@@harmonicdissent Amen
Totalmente cierto. From Spain, it's the true.
That’s the thing of it, even today in 2022 it is still important to preserve the innocence and imagination of children. The world is a much smaller and uglier place today than it was in the 1960’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s and we have to worker harder to protect the children than our parents did with us. Th e difference is that we have seen the wrongs of the past, lived through many of them and yet we are still letting our children be affected by them. I’m not a bleeding heart, a liberal and I don’t really identify as a conservative or at least far right. We have the opportunity to teach our children that it is possible to see Dr. Kings dream come true, but it can’t come true at the cost of reverse discrimination, hatred and division and it won’t just die out on its own. There needs to be a fundamental change in the way people think and it starts in the home with the parents teaching their children that everyone has equal value and is an important part of the whole. It is only then that we will get back to the times of this music, a time that was always a dream but never truly existed because of the flawed nature of the human animal that insists on seeing and making separation so they can feel or appear better than someone else. News flash people, a hand is as important as a foot it just smell a little better because the job it does allows for it to be cleaner, but that doesn’t make it more important.
My son is a big, tough cadet at the Air Force Academy but this song still reduces him (and me) to tears.
As a US Submarine Veteran, I feel ya sir. and God bless your son for his service.
Also note that 95% of the audience are ADULTS ! -:)
Even the younger boy mouthing the words is probably about 10-11 years old.
Note how relaxed EVERYONE in the audience is.
This is real leisure music and the spoken and part sung opening about " a much maligned dragon", and that the song is earlier in the programmes as the children of the day had fallen asleep when they originally did the performance in the 1960s . Confirmed by thee woman who nods her head and you can lip read ".and that was true "
What a pity that thar there are/were so many poisoned minds at the time when the song was originally written.
🙏🏾❤️🕊️
I love your son xxx
I've taught this song to my son....... and he loves it. He is just 5 years old.
Good on you 👍my daughter to how’s this song and I can’t wait to sing it to my grandkids if I’m lucky ☺️
It appears that most of the commenters are in their 60s-70s. I'm the sole teenager here who loves these timeless, peaceful melodies.
I'm a 21 year old girl who saw her dad watch this video.
I love hearing this song and seeing those three jive to it.
Music reunites all of us!
this song never gets old....only us
+dan b I often play at jam sessions in pubs usually doing the latest chart stuff or good 'ol Rock & roll... But then I slip this in on my 12 string....every time someone will come up after and say thanks it brought back such happy memories of Saturday mornings and Children's choice on radio (with uncle Mac and later Ed (Stewpot) Stewart.
and I also spot in the crowd a glistening tearful eye....Fabulous song
👋✊👊👏👍👋✊👊👊👏👍
Now my grandkids love this song and know it by heart.
oh, no, you never get old, just the looks
dan b I'm still puffin............and I'm 59
(You do know what this song is about don't you?)
Yes, I’m a 54 year old man that STILL cries when I hear this song. I could never believe how anyone could have ever thought the song was about anything other than what it was so obviously about. Hippies didn’t really lie (or really even have much of a reason to lie), had it been a “drug song” it would have only helped their standing with the hippies. The song is NOT a hippie song. It is SO much more universal than that. God Bless Peter, Paul, and Mary for their timeless gift. And RIP Mary!
People we all need to remember how happy we were as children!! Wish times were different now, so much innocence lost!
What exactly are you talking about in regards to innocence being lost? What are you freaking out about?
@@AWlpsSHOW36 Kids today in 2024 have nothing to do but get on their phones! No one play outside, too many Drive-by shootings! Kids can't be kids anymore!
Two guitars, Three voices, One Beautiful song!! Love it and them. Irreplaceable.
There must be a reason this song brings so many tears to so many people.
Because we were once young. What could be sadder?
Think it truly encapsulates the passing of time
Mary Travers has been gone for almost 11 years now, and seeing her here still brought a tear to my eye. I count myself so very fortunate to have seen P,P&M live about 20 years ago. I'm now 67 years old and these three are the sound of my youth.
I am also 67, but never had the honer of seeing them in person! I have seen many concerts, this song still makes me cry! God be with you! You have good taste in music! A retired School librarian, who still loves this song! God be with you!
@@rhondaboncutter5812 Thank you Rhonda.
I'm the same age and I remember hearing them first on Captain Kangaroo with his Magic Drawing Board.I played their recordings for my kids from the cradle. It must be age but I can't sing along without breaking down a trifle.
@@patrickdriscoll4438 I hope that doesn't stop you from joining in and singing along! No, now that I think about it, I'm sure you just keep on singing. Me, too.
gjm1953 I remember when I was like 8, they came to the state fair. It was a honor to see them perform live.
I hope I 'm not the only one to cry while listening to this song....
+MrHoochMeister Nope, I'm 47 and it still makes me bawl my eyes out :/
+MrHoochMeister No, you're not!
Always makes me cry 2. No matter how many times I hear it.
+MrHoochMeister NO WAY !!!!
No you're not the only one to shed a tear , I'm 49 & it still gets me 😃😂
Back in 1963 I performed this song for my elementary school. My 5th grade year was in its last weeks. I played my ukulele because I couldn’t handle a guitar. We have a variety show pending at church and I still have that same ukulele. Perhaps it’s time to sing for my grandchildren and others. This song is timeless.
Do it! It is time!
DEFINITELY
Jack burns was very proud
This song is timeless... and will be sung until the end of time...
I’m 29, this song had passed to me by my dad.

4:35 That new verse has SO much more meaning now because of the crowd.
They're all older people, people who were probably adults when this song came out... yet they still sung so joyously. With them, it proved that Puff never truly died.
With them, Puff came back to roar that fearless roar. Puff wasn't gone, he was just waiting for his friends to come back. It's up to us to see if our dragon stays alone or roars his roar.
Perhaps the most touching and beautiful comment on a video I’ve seen in a while.
Cheers man.
no cell phones,no worry to take a pic or record a video,these are make the crowd best and make the concert real.
My sister would have been 50 today. She would sing this to me when I was a little boy to help me go to sleep.
Nice memories! Cherish them! God Bless!
Puff, You never left me
You’ve always brought me joy
Today some call me old man
But inside there’s still a boy
Thank you for the memories
Thank you for being my friend
Puff, I leave this with you:
Friendships like ours never end
Really a wonderful addition, Tim Love!
Same thing with me, I never intend for him to leave me. I’m 19.
Here it is 2023, December, and this song still around! It has meaning! Has carried over so many generations!
when I was little daddy and myself would sing all the time. he just passed so I wanted to hear this one more time, R.I.P DADDY.
I am 66 and this song makes me cry, also!
im 69 7rs and cry when i hearx ds song thnks for uploading
Ok, Rhonda.. because I am your Generation.. This guy is admitting ... They make me cry too.. and I Don't cry.. it is disturbing at this point in my life.. execept.. when dealing with my generation of older folks!
I must admit, this song can get to me also Rhonda. And I'm older than you!
@@edsauer2931 God Bless!
No matter how old we get, that song will always have a place in our hearts. It is a classic that never gets old.
I took my 5 yr old daughter to see them in Portland Maine, Her first concert! She still heckles me about it. Shes now 30, writes music and lives in Hollywood. ❤❤
Even though it's such a sad song and everything, Peter always looks so happy while playing it. You can tell how much he enjoyed it.
I absolutely love this song it reminds me of my mom and dad both are with the Lord now so I'm crying
I remember hearing this song when I was 4 years old. I'm 60 now, and I tell myself that I won't cry the next time I hear it, but you can't help but get misty eyed. A timeless song for all generations to enjoy.
I'm pushing 40 and I've cried almost every time I've heard it. Not the big sobs, ugly crying, but a few tears always slip out.
Neverending love...
same with me. my mum used to play this to me and sing along - late sixties/early seventies.
I agree 💯%
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND EVERY TIME I HEAR IT, STILL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES...
I wish our world could go back to this simpler time. No social media, no cell phones out; people literally just enjoying the music.
Nobody plays like this anymore been listening since early 1960 still love it 💖💖💖💖
My Nan used to play this song when I was a child, I remember being sat in the back of my grandparents car and thinking how upbeat and brilliant the song was and I’d ask them to rewind the tape over and over.
My Nan passed away a couple of years ago and she had such a beautiful soul, this song reminds me of her so much and the last chorus means so much to me. I suppose anyone who’s lost a loved one will get it.
Thank you so much Peter, Paul and Mary. Your words will live forever in my heart and my mind.
His voice hasn’t changed one bit. Outstanding.
I saw them live at Freddie's in Minneapolis in about 1960....magical.
i can remember bawling my eyes out as a child in the 60's at this song.
You , too ? 😢
Same. Totally.
73 years old, still brings tears to my eyes.
I don't understand why I can't listen to this song without my eyes watering. The fantasy lands of the innocence of our youth. Puff and they are gone....
my son loved this song we sang it at his funeral what a beautful memery it created
My great grandfather taught me to play this when I was young and learning guitar. I'm going to play it at his funeral.
I want to play the gutair
This comment made me so sad. My grandpa loved this song. I’m currently obsessed with it and plan to sing it sometime soon! If you recorded your version of it I’d love to hear it! So so sorry for your loss.
You can play it at mine one day it if I'm lucky.
He will be honored...
He is proud of you.
Peter, Paul, and Mary were one of the rare groups that were so much more than just their music. They were (and remain) part of American culture, universally loved, whether you liked the genre or not.
Love all there music! So true music! My uncle Roger use to send this to me when I was a little girl!
Well said
But only secondary to the great Seekers and Judith Durham. One of a kind.
Oh, I loved Peter, Paul and Mary! Loved this song as a kid and now as an adult!
I have loved Puff since I was a child!
As a almost 54 year old, born May 23rd 1968, I have tears in my eyes,! 😢 , 1st heard as a kid in the 70s,!
I am 70, remember this song well..
Yes it does speak of life and the changes that occur....
Funny (no so) when I received my draft notice, this was played twice that night on radio..
A year later it was played last day of leave, for Vietnam...
I still shed a tear for what was lost...
Be ye young and read this ENJOY YOUR YOUTH..IT MELTS TOO QUICKLY and to my contemporaries... God Bless for making this far..
It has been one hell of a ride..
❤️
Puff will always be in are hearts,no matter the age we are
James Underwood I wasn't even close to being born yet when this song came out, but i feel like i was, it's an amazing song.
James Underwood. I don't think you have a clue what you are saying. All three of them are reptillians and behave like the Pied Piper!
James I am now 60 , well said ...til my last breath.....and my cat who recently died age 100 and blind will always be here with me .. and those I love
u bet
I agree
Powerful Memories of my childhood. A part of my childhood that will NEVER die. LOVE !!
Just watched all three cartoons with my 4 year old and brought back a bunch of memories from my childhood in the 80s.
Tut! Tut! To anyone who doesn't believe that dragons exist :-))...
Memories of this song hark back to the many, many months I spent, as a kid in the '60's, at Tadworth Court Hospital in Surrey. I wonder of the dozens of kids I saw and knew then, how many are still with us today? I count myself as one of the lucky ones to still be here. So this song brings bitter sweet memories to me, for obvious reasons. And now I'm thinking of the doctors and nurses who were just fantastic. Especially the nurses :-))... I'll wipe away a tear now....
C'est la vie....
Rest In Peace Mary. You may be gone, but your voice will not be forgotten ;-))...
No idea why but I woke up with Puff playing in my head and it wouldn't go away. Now it's your turn.
The innocence of a child is so precious no one should be forgiven should they steal it.
The older I get, the more this makes me cry............
That is exactly how I feel.....it breaks my heart.
I was very depressed today, close to thinking about ending it, but this group and this song brought me out of it. Thank you so much Peter, Paul, and Mary for such beauty and music over the years RIP Mary you are sorely missed
Geoffrey Marcus Me too, this song brought me back in my good old innocent childhood I can barely remember. I repeated this wonderful song 11 or 12 times and still cry... normally, I rarely cry
i hope you are still ok and living a happy life
4 years ago. You OK ?
@@lucretialain8534 Cry if it helps, it does me! Lost my husband over 3 years ago! This song gives me hope!
There is some much good in the world you need to open your eyes; just think of because of this music you are alive. Look for good
Back when a song meant nothing and yet meant everything !
This def needs more likes
This is one of the first songs I remember ; & yes ; I’m crying like a big baby all the way through it ! 😂❤
Timeless...both in message and in performance.
Heart wrenching. I always shed tears and recall my own childhood. RIP Mary Travers. Beautiful rendition
I just got tix to see Peter and Paul in Monterey, CA. I can’t wait! I’ll miss Mary but it’ll still be a wonderful evening! 🎶👵🏼🎶
In my 60s still a tear jerker. One of my all time favorites.
My favorite childhood song. Puff lives forever.
Puff will always be there for me!
My favorite childhood song
how in the world can you NOT like this song? this is our past at it's best
At our campfires, we have the kids bring a favourite stuffy and I have some in a bag for the adults. As they are holding them, I introduce how precious they are how we will eventually leave them behind. It just deepens the meaning for the song and makes them love it even more. Sometimes I'll have the kids talk about their stuffy and (I'm 75 and have a picture of me with a stuffed panda). It turns into a magical evening. When my daughter was about 8, she bought a rabbit stuffy for our little dog. The dog treasured it and slept with it most days. (My daughter is a Mom now) This always brings an (awww) moment to the campfire.
They sang this song for me at the coffee shop when I was young , Good people, God Bless.
Peter,Paul and Mary. awesome. every time I listen to Puff the Magic Dragon, I tear up. I had an awful childhood, this helped me to survive.
My life is nowhere near ideal Puff the Magic Dragon is a lifeline for me.
“A dragon lives for ever, but no so little boys. Painted wings and giant’s rings makes way for other toys” Happy song when I was young but now it’s sadder than ever. Props to them for changing it to present tense at the end!
My younger son and i would listen to this song all the time. It is a beautiful song. My son now 31 years-old. We still love it.
No matter how old I get hearing this song always makes me cry like a baby. Like someone said in the comments Peter ,Paul,and Mary are the Mr. Rogers of the music world, unfortunately two of the members in the group have passed away. So we must protect the last member like the national treasure he is
I get teary eyed whenever I hear this wonderful song
My dad would sing this to me as a boy, the way he sang it along with the piano would drive to to tears. Everynight he would sing or tell a story in song. When he passes, I'll be thinking of Puff.
He'll definitely be breaking my heart.
I played this on my record player over and over again... my mother bought me another 45 because I wore the first one out... I’m 58 now... my mother and father are both alive... how lucky am I! I hope puff never dies!!!!
My GOD Mary looks so beautiful, timeless.
I want to honor this song to my brother, because he loved this song when we were kids.
I think the most alluring aspect of this song that Peter Paul and Mary’s gentle guitars and dulcet harmonies do well at highlighting, is how everybody has that small part of themselves that remembers our own “Puff.” Our imaginary friends we would spend the whole day with. That every stick was a gun or a sword or a magic wand. And there were princesses to save or bad guys to fight. And our backyard really was a vast and giant ocean that we were so brave and joyous to face. This song hearkens unto that childhood spirit and reminds us how much we miss it, and how much we should miss it. And that we should try to bring some of it back, because it’s still there with us. We just gotta wake Puff back up.
It's true that our phones listen! I was telling my daughter about this song last week.
Makes me cry every time I hear it!!
We used to have music and sing along to the music teacher playing the piano. I think we bored her senseless with the times we asked to sing to this.
They came to my school when I was a child and sang this song and Yellow Bird. I was so lucky to see them in person during Auditorium day.
You are magicians not musicians. Much loved song which makes me cry. A golden classic takes me back to 1972 primary school days. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your magic with us. 😢😢😢😢
It must be a wonderful feeling to be singing a song that you know has touched so many hearts. A timeless classic.
Always been my favorite song
Song about innocence lost in our childhood! Be a kid as long as you can! I became a children's Librarian to share all the love of imagination!
I have no idea why this popped in my head. My parents had this concert on VHS and I remember watching it over and over again.
Me ...Too
My Mom's Fave Musician Band.
My Mom ALSO recorded this concert on VHS. I inherited this VHS when she passed away. It's PRECIOUS... like "GOLD" to me.
Who could dislike this ??
Holy hell. This music by itself was as amazing as it could be. But all the cameos that came out... Peter singing out the true meaning of the song, and explaining why it was sung so early in the concert... The "present tense!" in "Lives by the sea"...
That's insanely touching.
No Eric, just insane!!
Eric Wu--- and dont forget all those falwell followers say it was all on drugs, or as Peter says a much maligned dragon...
@@pookiebear364 This song was NEVER about drugs!
Liberal communist losers think this song is about drugs
BadNews Kelly Leak it’s got nothing to do with political affiliation. Ppl who believe it’s about drugs simply WANT to believe that it’s about drugs. And those people are very wrong.
That audience is heavenly!
My mom used to sing this to me, in the early sixties. It was about a magic dragon named Puff and his friend, Jackie Paper. Every 4 year old knew that. What were the rest of you thinking?
Spiro Agnew alleged that it was about marijuana.
Actually, Peter Yarrow's college roommate, Leonard Lipton, wrote it after reading Ogden Nash''s poem "Custard the Dragon" and felt he could write a better poem. It's obviously based on old English folklore. In a way, it's similar to Toy Story, especially Toy Story 3. Andy grew up and quit playing with his toys including Woody and Buzz. In that same vein, Jackie Paper was a little boy who imagined he and Puff the Magic Dragon sailed on a ship and challenged pirates. But eventually, he grew up and quit playing such games.
It is the eve of 2024 and this song reminds me of my childhood.
This my favorite classic hit song though years back 1972/1973 in Library room record player with headphone. Use listen over and over again. Use listen back my three or four grade back then. Still remember my old school days in Mpls Mn area. Lots thing change though yrs
Just turned this on, couldn’t believe I was
Hearing Puff the Magic Dragon....can’t believe I was remembering every word of the song after all this time! Brought tears to my eyes also....they were such a favorite of mine so long ago. Been listening now to all I can find of them here.... I can’t believe how much I’ve missed hearing them
Peter Paul and Mary...they were wonderful then and now...thank
You, thank you, thank you!!!!❤️
Hello Jane, How are you doing?
we should not stop playing...play with our kids, our grandchildren, ourselves...never too old...remember we were children then & by heart we still are children again...
I'm so happy to see this version end in the present tense. Puff lives!
Would love to go back in time…awesome times
People will come, people will go, society will change but the art of some artists will remain unchanged for ages.
I loved how the crowd sang along loudly near the end
to all the friends that have been and gone, life is just not the same.But i can still think back to how it was
I was 7 . And innocent. The park that summer played this music. Now I’m 58 and love these songs . Thanks for the interpretation. 🇨🇦❤️
