    When I was a young boy back in the early 70's, I only had one friend. A girl named Veronica who was a year older and lived across the street. When I was around 6 or 7, she developed a brain tumor and wound up passing away in the next year. This song has always been a reminder of our friendship that was ended too soon, and I always get teary-eyed when I hear it.

    As a strong believer that there is life after death, this is a song [even if filled great sadness] that we will carry on in our hearts, in our souls for eternity as it will transcend time and space. To all the people who have lost their loved ones in their lifetime, have faith because it is the only force that gives us hope, that drives us forward along our life's journey. I firmly believe that we will reunite one day in God's Kingdom for everlasting life. Do not despair, we are here on Earth for only a brief passage in time like a spec of dust. To all the people that have been diagnosed and are stricken with a terminal disease, have faith that there are greater things waiting for you in God's Kingdom. My heart and compassion pours out along with my prayers for all of you. May God bless you all. I have lost many family members and friends along my life's journey, but I have faith and refuse to believe that we turn into dust and nothing more.

    Absolutely timeless. I still choke up listening to this gem. At 50 I think I finally understand this song . It’s the cycle of life . Unique story for each person but the outcome always the same . It’s the cycle of life that we witness at birth but understand when we age

    My best friend's son passed away 9 weeks ago of an OD. I guess everybody thought I knew and I just found out about 8 hours ago. He was just 25. I had just caught him on FB about a week before he passed and asked how his dad and mom and he was doing. He was thrilled to hear from me, it was a 20 minute conversation easy. It shocked me to the core, and it hurts, such a joy to be around. RIP Jackson, I think this song fits you, me, your dad and mom.

      The times of great music with meanings that we don't have these days, makes us go back in time to when we were young, and our love was young and fresh too.
      Life is too short I must say....

      David Leaney DL, I am sorry for your loss. I was also there in the 70’s and remember people thinking this song was ‘cheesy’. Natural I guess as we were young and going to live forever. As the years go by and we accumulate life experience, it takes on new meaning. It sounds as if you were fortunate to have found a life partner with which to share and build memories. Although all things must end hopefully these memories will last. May you be well.

      We first met at about the age of 11 and started dating until we left school at 16 then due to work commitments we drifted apart, occasionally meeting up at parties, school reunions ect. Eventually marrying other people, then in 2008 both having failed marriages we got together and married in 2009. Sadly she passed away in 2016 with a brain tumour.

Full of rich life experiences ... it might be that without the intermediate experiences, you and your wife would not have had the synergies that existed in your marriage. One will never know for sure, but it does sound as if you were able to find true love and partnership in the time you had together. Very few do. A life lived to the best of ones ability, although imperfect, needs no apology. Be well DL.
