Until today, I'd only heard Cliff sing this and I thought he'd written it until Wiki enlightened me and allowed me to find Dave Townsend.I read that Dave wrote this when his girlfriend was away on holiday. If that's true, wow - what an honour to have such a beautiful and emotional song written for or about you. Thank you Mr Townsend for gifting the world with this incredible piece of music and thank you Steve Parsonsfan for bringing Dave's version to light.
I have listened to this song for 40 years now. The music is so intricately beautiful and the words so poetic! If nostalgic could be music this song would be it. Thank you!
A VERY big thanks for posting this ! It's an absolute gem of a song ( among the best lost love songs ever written in my opinion ) and I had the Art Garfunkle version of it on vinyl , but it's always a treat to hear the original ! Thanks !!
Thank you so much for posting this ! I've heard Art G singing it many times and also Cliff Richard , but it's so good to hear it performed by the guy that wrote it ! A treasure of a song , and I can't shake the impression of Art hearing this somewhere and rushing off to fine a telephone ! Best wishes , Dave
What a gorgeous song. I know the Cliff Richard version that is amazing. But it is lovely to hear the original composer's version. This equals Cliff's version. (He sounds like David Soul in places.)
Never heard this song before. But very nice song. I think it's great that you collect songs from people that have participated in Alan Parsons albums. I have always loved his music. There is one musician you maybe haven't found yet. David Pack. I have his album from 1985 "Anywhere you go" Listen to track 2, "I just can't let go". Very nice song. But all the tracks on the album are great.

The truth in a song.
The song writer of a beautiful song like this brings nuances to the piece that cover versions miss.

My pleasure to post! You can thank Dave as he allowed me to make a video and post here. Glad you like it!
Beautiful song X 🙂
I love song this by Marie Osmond on her 1977 LP "This Is The Way That I Feel."

Sadly David Pack has just lost his wife to cancer.
Wonderful 😊
Heard this version a long time ago been trying to hear it since then its great
Cliff Richard could have left this just as it is and put his name on it. I wonder how many would have noticed. DT was that good. :)
Richard's version was a carbon copy, but at least it brought this beautiful song to our attention and earned Townsend much-deserved royalties.
Don't let it show
