This song absolutely slays me. I'm only 31 but everytime I hear it I feel like an elderly man looking back at a life filled with joy and sadness, wondering where the time went. Songwriting at it's finest.
I'm so glad to hear this again. In the late 1990s, my Dad had a cassette tape that was a compilation of singer/songwriters. It included this song, and I remember some others by Christine Lavin. This song was one of my favorites.
I have been a fan of Cheryl Wheeler for decades when I was living in Rhode Island. I was fortunate enough to see her perform many times. I play acoustic guitar and enjoy playing her music. I found a website that posted some of her songs with the accurate chords and that was awesome but now the chords have been removed. I realy enjoyed that resource. I wish someone could put the chords back online.
My wife and I lived in Boston 1992-1996. We saw you many times. We both love your songs and your wit. I've been so happy to discover your "kitchen channel". Your voice is incredible. As a guitar player I was able to figure out your chords and finger style structure from these videos. I will be able to play reasonable renditions of your songs around the campfire! All the best. And Love.
This is currently my absolute favorite song. I found Cheryl’s music about one year ago and now I have ALL of her albums. I so wish she was still touring. There aren’t very many musician/singers who are able to put you right there with them in the songs they sing; Thank you, Cheryl Wheeler!
She’s touring now! I’m seeing her in Plymouth MA Oct. 15. Used to see her so often on Cape, it was old hat & wonderful each time. She doesn’t play the Cape a lot anymore, so now this will be a treat! Don’t know where you are, but check her schedule to see if she’ll be close to you.👍
I just happened upon these videos, and I am so grateful to Cheryl and anyone else who made these recordings possible. I have been a fan since the early 90s. These videos make me feel like I'm right in the same room with her. A balm in these horrible times.
I have seen her in North Hampden Massachusetts at least six times over the years. Each time she’s always better and yet she is always the best. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather listen to I’m glad you appreciate her like I do. She certainly is a jewel.
God bless you, such a beautiful song and magnificent performance. Saw you in Nashua, NH in early 90s...that song has comforted me since. Thank you. Is the tab available for this?...would love to learn it.
Perfect song art at its best…thank you
Amazing story! And what a beautiful and emotive voice.

Perfection here from Cheryl
Spare and elegant. Nothing is present that does not add. Brava!

I absolutely love this. I bought this album (Driving Home) back in the '90's and my kids grew up listening to it. Absolute iconic Americana.
One of her finest albums.
Brilliant..thank you Cheryl.
How can anyone give this a Thumbs Down?!! One of my favorite songs from Cheryl - so poetic and heartfelt. Thanks for posting these, Shelly!!!
Her voice is as heavenly as ever.

Listened to this song many times, now I know the rest of the story 😊
I was first introduced to Cheryl's music about 20 years ago via PP&M's version. Nice to find this video on the eve of my own 75th...
Happy Belated!
Jesus ♥You!

so much talent, soul thank you
What a song. Would love to see Cheryl in concert again.
I like this one too
If you want to know how to craft a perfect song, this one is essential, along with many other Wheeler songs.
Love this song!
One of my very very favorite songs.How skilled you are to write such a beautiful song. Hope your dad got to hear it before he passed.
Sublime.
Thank you, I grew up on Hayfields Farm in BC, knew most farms and the agricultural farmers.
Your folks did a superb job!
