I'm soon to be 74 and my grandpa passed away in 1959. He raised me and made me the person I am today. It's many years since I've heard Randy sing this song, but I found it on YT today. Memories came back in an instant. Teared up. Love Randys voice.
Good story! Hope you are doing ok now... I've been listening to Randy Travis for years. He is great. He can only listen to people that play his music now. That because he had a stroke years ago.. May God bless Randy Travis!
My Dad passed away in July of 2016, and this was played at his funeral from his grands and great grands. He was the anchor of our family and we loved him dearly. He was a straight up man, his word was his life. He loved his horses, his dogs, hunting and fishing and aggravating my Momma. Thanks Randy, you nailed him with this song. 🌹
OmG!! You TOO!!?? SERIOUSLY!! I'll be singing it , that part comes up& I have 2 FIGHT from tearing up. I usually LOSE the fight btw. 😏🙄😦🥺 My voice starts warbling & crackin' and I'm a GONER! Heh. Lol. Good 2 know I'm not alone in it though! Don't ask me WHY! 🤔
This is a most beautiful tribute on Randy Travis' part to the man who was his GREAT grandfather ("...my mama's daddy was his oldest son...") whom Randy was privileged to have known. I too was so privileged, and the day my great-grandfather died was to that time the saddest day in my young life.
I lived with my great grandfather from the time I was 6 until I was 12. He got to where he couldn't walk. My grandparents took him and my brother and I He died when I was 14. 62 now......still miss him
My grandpa is still here thanks to a sweet man and his lung transplant thank you so much for giving my family so much more time with him sir your an angle
I'm playing this song right now for my grandfather who just turned 84. Fighting to hang on to see us all one last time. Love you and gonna miss you papa Bishop!!!
I get tears in my eyes whenever I hear this song. My grandfather raised me from an infant to age 14. Iloved him so much and yes, how I cried the day HE died. For me, he DID walk on water!
I too was raised by my grandfather the greatest man I've ever known he did so much for me I love that man with everything in me cancer took him from us 2 years ago I was 25 not a day goes by that I don't think of him or use something from his many lessons he taught me
I am a 77 year old Grandfather with to beautiful Granddaughters, age 22 and 19. Their isn't enough words in English language to express my love for them. The great thing is they feel the same way about their Grandfather and their Grandmother. We thank God every day fot bringing these beautiful young women into our lives!!!
that's really nice to hear. I wasn't emotionally connected to my grandparents. I don't think I ever heard anything from them that I was valued by them. I didn't feel I particularly mattered to them. I celebrate when I hear of or see something different.
My grandfather is probably dying within the next few months, and this song is very good at summarizing my high esteem for him. Please, whoever sees this, say a prayer for his wellbeing. Thank you, God bless 🙏
I've known this song for over 30 years, and the older I've gotten, the harder it's become to not tear up when I sing this song. Hold to your loved ones, and tell them you love them every chance you get!
I can't help but cry when I hear this song... My grandfather was the greatest man I ever knew... he was my best friend. Even when he got sick I never really believed that he would die... because I truly did think that he walked on water. I spent every second with him in the hospice when the doctors gave up... I wanted to say so much... but neither one of us could say a single word. I'd give anything to have one more day to say the things that I couldn't. I held his hand and cried like a child as he took his last breath... I said it was ok for him to let go...but everything inside of me was begging him not to. I HATE that death is such a big part of life... I miss my friend more than words could ever express...
I think this is common when there is a close bond. My son literally lifted my mother (unconscious) over his head and prayed for her to get well. She had been sick and recovered so many times and he never left her side. He was 38 and cried then and still does if he thinks about her.
My grandfather passed away in 95 at 100 years old he outlived my father when me and my brother took my grandfather to the funeral home the see my dad he cried for the first time I didn't even see him cry when his wife my grandmother died every time I hear this song and Randy Travis is there anyone that can sing it it reminds me of my dad and my grandfather thank you for the video
Sorry to hear tour loss. I'm 53 mine passed away in 1988 I was 17 then. And his brother passed away 6 months after him. It was to much for my family, and everyone went thier own ways to deal with the losses on thier own. My family was never thier when I needed them at the time I needed them the most. I've never been able to deal with it, and to this day still leaves a huge hole and hurt that's never went away. I hope you well on your journey and send prayers for you and your family.
Probably one of the most emotional songs EVER. Nobody can make a song the way Randy does. He's the best. Such emotion in his voice. Each song sounds like he's singing directly to you.
I'm 71 and never knew any of my grandpa. I'm a grandpa now and I choked up every time listening to this song. Doing my best to be a grandpa whom my grandchildren can think of "He Walked on Water".
My Grandpa was my 1st love of my life. Well my Dad was my 1st too. Grandpa passed when I was 8, Dad when I was 19.I’m 70 now but I thank the Lord I was privileged to have them.
Those are such lovely memories and I wish I had some of my own. I'm a great grandma now, but there was always something missing. Now I know what it was. Grandpa
Lost my momma last April , only 24 my oldest son is 3 . I fight too keep her memory alive wether my father wants it forgotten or not . Kick them shoes off one last time and walk with Jesus I’ll see you in your mansion soon enough momma ❤
it’s 2020 and in 3 months my grandpa turns 70. Even though he is considered my step grandpa he treats me like his own son. And now that i’m 15 i haven’t taken account for how much he really loves me. I’ve been a little shit my whole life and i’ve never cried so much as i have tonight. You have that special relationship with that one special person. And I’m still learning. I’m gonna cry so much the day he passes but at least I can say that I love him and that I thank him for creating the little man that’s standing next to his casket
you sound very wise. .....just love them while they are here..Believe me no matter how you behaved ..he will always love you...it’s never too late to tell him how much he means to you...Grand pas love unconditionally....you are human and it doesn’t matter if they are blood ..My. daddy just passed in Feb..at 91..my brother and I were both adopted as babies....My parents raised me,loved me, helped me....and although we didn’t have the same DNA ....my dad was my dad. ...Good luck.
My grampa is in his last breaths that's what the doctors are saying.....my mom who's in heaven already waiting for her dad....he was a cowboy and a hard worker....worked till he was 80....and always enjoying his grandkids company.....he helped me through life when I was struggling.... his stories are priceless....grandparents are gold when it comes to advice.....so treasure them and hear their stories before their gone....
I hope when i have grandkids that they talk about me the way that you do your grandpa...i'd say he is a lucky man. Thats a good place to be in the end.
Bryant Chavira I know I sure miss hearing stories from my great grandpa about like wwii how he wasn’t aloud in the two city we bombed cause of all the burnt up people and also the a bomb gases
@Sara Llewellyn Sara, my name is Donald Mayer and I live in Coply Pennsylvania. I want you to know I really care because I suffered the loss of my wife in December of 2016. We were married 28 years. I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. I will be more than glad to communicate with you if you want to do that. Sara, I really care!
My 'dad' was not my bio dad, and never worked on a farm, but a steel mill as a boilermaker. I thought he walked on water. It takes a great man to except 2 little girls as his own, and treat them no different than his son and daughter who came later in the marriage. This good man took good care of us till we left home. And was there when we needed help after. Never lifting his hand to us, even though he himself came from an home with a abusive father. Cycles can be broken. I cried harder at his funeral than my Bio Dads who I never really knew. Meet you inside the Eastern Gate Dad.
Beautiful. My husband treats my son and loves him equally the same as he does our daughter so I know what u mean. I thank God for the man I married the second time as I was married before to an abusive man. My son loves him like he was his bio dad. They have a wonderful bond.
My grandfather was in the invasion of Normandy and the battle of the bulge. He was and is my hero. I thought he walked on water. James R Shores lives in me forever.
this is exactly what a child is supposed to think about their grandparents.. so everyone remember if you are one or will be one to show love just as this song expresses. because your memory is what's left when your gone. love your children so much, so that they can love theirs... have a wonderful day all.
To my grandfather. Thank you. For you rescued me when no one else could have. My best friend. My closest confidant. We could always figure anything out together. You made my time on earth here so worthwhile in such a meaningful way.
My dad died Easter Sunday, 1983 and I had my 47th birthday that same January; believe me, it hurts at any age. took me some years to get the color back in my life. I thought he pretty close to perfect too. A nephew still has his boots and Stetson.
I have a young grandson who adores me (and me, him)...but when grandpa walks in with me, he will run with arms open wide hollaring...Paw Paw! Paw Paw loves him too. What a blessing our grandies are.
I am a grown man. I cried the day my grandpa died. To this day hearing this song, sometimes I still break down. He was a hero, a legend, in more way than one.
Mine grandfather's were worthless but I am 72 and making sure my grandkids are unconditionally loved. You are a lucky man or woman. I hope you get my point
Mamaw and Papaw both left us some 42 years ago. At times, I can still hear their voices, hear their laughs and fell their hugs. Here I sit now as an older man with grandkids of my own. I hope and pray that I would be the kind of granddaddy to them that Papaw was to me. Thank you, Randy Travis, for songs like this that make us smile from the memories you share in this song.
I never had anyone in my corner immigrated at 13 and only left one grandparent alive- hardly knew her- but when she cried and hug me and my twin it shocked the shite out of me, till then no one cried for me(us) we did all the crying for the both of us.
I'm fixing to be 37 years old on the 21st of this month. And this song still gets me in a spot that I've put away for a long time. I think of my papa for I know I'll see him again one day.
Well, he never saw ‘24. He passed 12-14-23 but the message is the same. Tough sob if you knew him. Battled lung cancer, strokes and the works but what did him in was loosing his horses. Sold the last three in October of ‘23 and died a few months after.
My aunt grew up down the road from Randy and went to school with him from grade school on he means a lot to the local community. They finally put a mural of him on the side of the building in the hometown of Marshville. This is a classic that will never grow old. ❤️❤️
My only Grandfather was a old Country Man from Alabama....grew up through the 20s ,30s,40,50s 60s ,and retired in the 70s ...Taught me about Morals ,Honor ,Keep Your Word , be a Southern Gentlemen , don't Disgrace the Family Name ....and so very much more ....miss him everyday ....Love you Granddaddy ...till we see each other again...May the Circle Be Unbroken ...
This song could have been written about my grandfather! Every time I hear this it reminds me of my grandpa who was a real life cowboy and lifelong farmer/rancher. He was the real deal. When young in the early 1900s he rode a horse, and he worked cattle on a ranch most of his life. I remember when I was a little boy he would be sitting on the porch and he would call me over. He would make me a “pony” out of a broom handle with a bit of rope for the reins and tell me to keep it at a trot! He was good with a gun and he always carried a revolver on the ranch for protection. He taught me how to hunt, fish and work the land. He was an still is my hero. He taught me how to live my life with integrity and how to appreciate family and friends. We need more heroes like these old timers!
@@tommygowan3591 i can tell you if your as good as my grandpa is they definatly will and im 14 i love him and i help him all i can with mowing weed eating and stuff and we sit down talk and everything
I remember my mom telling me that the first word I attempted to say sounded like "Bamca". My parents had no idea what I was trying to say; until we went to visit my Grandpa. I come back to this song whenever I need some comfort, and when I need to cry for a bit.
My husband is native, he tells me of his grandpas on both sides, they are so similar to the grandpa in this song. His grandpa and great grandpas were his greatest memories of the older generation. We are both grandparents and have one grandson. Hope we can be as influential to our grand kids and great grandkids. we lost our son yesterday, so we are very sad. May the great spirit look over our son, and his children, as we will do our best to take care of them. We are from South Dakota and are both Sioux. We will survive.
Hello lovelies I really want to take my time to appreciate all the love and support I receive Y’all all the most amazing set of people I love you all I wanna show appreciation by letting you lend your voices to my upcoming projects Kindly drop your email and where you are from Then check your mail for a message from me Don’t miss out on Love 💕 you all
@@randytravis3109 wow I'm in awl I have appreciated your music . MY SUN PLAYS GUITARS BUT HE HASN'T SANG THAT I KNOW OF . YOU MAKE IT SOUND SOUND SO HEART FELT . I WOULD BE AMAZED IF HE COULD END UP SINGING .
I know i thought for sure my grandpa walked on water so to speak. He was my hero and he's only been gone a little over a week it feels like forever already
the man I'm with today will always walk on water because he takes care of her daughter and he'll always walking with her the one Dawn Michelle testerman
My grandfather did walk on water. Lost him at 13 and now I'm in my 40s and I've never met a man as good as my grandpa, never found anybody who got me like he did either.
Fun fact he was actually at my house back in the 90’s before i was born, my grandmother invited him over after his show in kentucky and he pulled up in a brand new caddy and used the shower and took time to meet and thank everyone, even handed her a 100 dollar bill. blessed to know my granny met him before he passed and she is currently in icu at this very moment.. i know she’ll see him again at those pearly gates along with lost family members if god chooses to call her home.
I loved you Papaw,You made It to Heaven after living to be one hundred and three,Ive never knew anyone that compared to you Papaw.I love you forever.Mark.
My Grandpa was an old farmer here in Michigan. Besides my daddy, I thought he was the greatest man on earth. He was born in 1908 and passed in 1994. I miss him every single day.
I too have been guilty and cannot tell you why, my wife met him at Walmart in Greensboro……. And she said he was the perfect gentleman….. and he sang this occupela Or whatever the word is no instruments
I played with Randy in The 90’s. Was as down to earth and any guy you would ever meet. I hated seeing him when he was sick, but I’ll remember him as just another guy you’d run into at Walmart lol.
Saw him last nite as he received honor on CMT show. He is awesome. Unfortunately CMT is trying to take country down the tubes. Was sad to watch. The diversity is wonderful, but not diluting country music !
Me too. My grandfather was 90 years old in '63 as well! He passed on in '66. I miss his car rides, "Go faster!", and his walks up town at noon for a hamburger on bread at Mike's Pool Hall! So many good memories.
This song, and "Deeper than the Holler" make me cry. My grandfather died when I was 16, and my sister loved "Deeper than the Holler." We both bawled our eyes out.
My Dad first introduced me to Randy Travis. I've listened to him since his first release in 1985. My mom and he had a tumultuous relationship from the time they met, when my mom was just 15. There were 22 years between them in age, and her parents forbid they marry. Through many ups and downs, failed relationships and marriages for both of them (and the birth of a few children including myself - sadly none together 😓), they finally stopped listening to others and married in 1988, 22 years after they first met. Because of their past experiences, they were emotionally connected to so many of Randy's songs. They would dance in our living room, holding each other tightly and singing his songs to each other with tears streaming down their faces, sorrowful for all their missed opportunities for happiness with each other. My dad used to sing in a men's a capella group and [I believe] in the church choir when he was young. One Christmas we bought him a karaoke machine. He would spend his days singing and recording himself singing all the various harmonies of Randy's songs and layering them together, and I would sit and listen to him. They were gloriously happy for 22 years, until he passed suddenly in his sleep. We played his recordings of Randy Travis at his Celebration of Life. Randy was like a dear friend in our home and away.. while driving back and forth to Sick Kids hospital in Toronto, our son would cry, "Digga Bone, Digga Bone!" if we turned on the music and it wasn't Randy Travis. The day my mom passed a few years ago, I played that same compilation of music from my dad's service. She was in a medically induced coma (for pain control - she could hear, but couldn't talk or move), but I saw her brow go up and she squeezed my hand ever so slightly.. and took her last breath not long afterwards. The memories of a beautiful love and life come flooding in whenever I hear his music. He has touched my life in so many ways, so many times in the past 40 years, I will be forever grateful for what he has done for his country music fans. I was lucky to see him once in concert at Rama Casino, Ontario, Canada. He told some amazing stories of his life and of course, his beautiful smile, baritone voice and heartfelt songs had me singing, dancing and crying. I sooo wished my dad could have been there with me. I shared the experience with my best friend, and we rushed the stage afterwards for autographs. She got her ticket signed, sadly I didn't.. but knowing what a HUGE fan I am, she gave me her ticket to keep, Forever and Ever, Amen. Thank you, Randy Travis. ❤️
Hello Pam I'm so deeply sorry for you lost your grandfather. I lost mind few months back. we aren't that close so I didn't really feel it. But my friend lost his mother and it burst my heart to piece's I know how it feels to lose your love one's. Please take good care of yourself
The fact that we are all listening to this song means that someone special has changed our lives. Challenge yourself every day to live like the man that this song reminds you of. Continue the legacy of men being men; men being fathers and husbands and fearing the lord. This country needs more men like this men like us!
This song by Randy reminds me of my grandfather. Everytime I hear it I cry, cause I thought he walked on water. Randy, thank you for recording this. It touches me deeply. And may God bless you with all you are going through.
When this song came out I.was on tour with a rock band, just happened to be in Toronto at CPI., for a meeting. That night Alan Jackson, and Randy were at the CNE., an outside shed venue. We were invited each of us sorta of chuckled at each other, we went to be kind. This song, stopped me dead in my tracks, I can remember exactly where I was, what I was wearing the approximate time and weather. From a rocker music DOES NOT get any better than this
Fuckin' A RIGHT!!! 👌👍👍 Although, I, myself, would prob label me a "rocker" as well, I'm actually VERY VERY versatile musically. And proud to be so! 😉 Heh. But that's a cool ass story. Whether it's completely (or at all) true, no one will ever really know. 4 sure. No offense btw. I mean ABSOLUTELY NO disrespect etc. I just don't blindly believe everything I hear see & read. Especially, on YT. Heh. 🤔 But I definitely HOPE that it's true!! 😬😛😉
I'm a roller no offense please but Hope it's the rock that started the roll and made the roll called a roller chosen . And to get some fuel for a good fire to be able to get the meat cooked when you get ready for that. Remember you'll never be able run short of hope It's the easy one it's like GOD gave us a freebie to help big faith.
@@comfortablynumb7265 I just noticed your reply if you were to.meet me, and have a discussion around this single event you would have no doubt of me and or my authenticity
My Grandfather passed away 30 years ago I was only 12 this song has a special meaning in my heart it's amazing how much he impacted my life I miss him everyday I hope to have that affect on my children and grand children one day so never take your family for grant and cherish every moment you can with them .
My Grandparents raised me and adopted me. I was always with my granddad !! He was my best friend and a great Dad!! I miss them both much 😢!! I had a great life with them!!
I sang this song at our family reunion and several people were crying. When I was done , everyone wanted to know who sang the song and I told them, " one of the best country and western artists Randy Travis!"
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
A lot of people in my family died but that’s just about over for now I can’t go one minute through this song not thinking how I could have done better then,was I a good grand son
I'm soon to be 74 and my grandpa passed away in 1959. He raised me and made me the person I am today. It's many years since I've heard Randy sing this song, but I found it on YT today. Memories came back in an instant. Teared up. Love Randys voice.
Hello how are you doing
hi, i am from Guadalajara México and i love country music and i like your story, bless for you and your family 🙋🏻♂️.
I agree. There is something special about Randy Travis,
God gives us beautiful people to let us understand how precious life itself can be ?love ur neighbor and be. Kind t o strangers
Good story! Hope you are doing ok now... I've been listening to Randy Travis for years. He is great. He can only listen to people that play his music now. That because he had a stroke years ago.. May God bless Randy Travis!
My Dad passed away in July of 2016, and this was played at his funeral from his grands and great grands. He was the anchor of our family and we loved him dearly.

I think of my husband as I hear this, his grands loved him so and were shattered by his sudden death as was I
“I loved him and he loved me
And lord, I cried the day he died” that part gets me every time.🥺
OmG!! You TOO!!?? SERIOUSLY!! I'll be singing it , that part comes up& I have 2 FIGHT from tearing up. I usually LOSE the fight btw. 😏🙄😦🥺 My voice starts warbling & crackin' and I'm a GONER! Heh. Lol. Good 2 know I'm not alone in it though! Don't ask me WHY! 🤔

Thank you for pointing that out. It took me a while to find a comment from a person that actually listens to the lyrics. Lol
I lived with my great grandfather from the time I was 6 until I was 12. He got to where he couldn't walk. My grandparents took him and my brother and I
He died when I was 14. 62 now......still miss him
My grandpa is still here thanks to a sweet man and his lung transplant thank you so much for giving my family so much more time with him sir your an angle
I’m 63 years old and my Papa died when I was 9. I’ll never forget how he sat under the big tree and said very little. We just knew that he loved us!
I'm playing this song right now for my grandfather who just turned 84. Fighting to hang on to see us all one last time. Love you and gonna miss you papa Bishop!!!
Hope things turned out alright for papa bishop 👍🏻
Did papa pass?
Damn...You need to go see him and get yer ass of you tube,,
My grandpa died in 1978, standing next to me..We were unseperable all my life.
@@dbergum1he said he’s playing it for him you idiot
I get tears in my eyes whenever I hear this song. My grandfather raised me from an infant to age 14. Iloved him so much and yes, how I cried the day HE died. For me, he DID walk on water!
you just made me cry bro.
I can completely relate. My grandpa passed when i was 13. I swear i knew earlier that day somehow
💖💔💖😥
Sorry about your grandpa he seemd like a great man. Like my father may they rested in peace
I too was raised by my grandfather the greatest man I've ever known he did so much for me I love that man with everything in me cancer took him from us 2 years ago I was 25 not a day goes by that I don't think of him or use something from his many lessons he taught me
I am a 77 year old Grandfather with to beautiful Granddaughters, age 22 and 19. Their isn't enough words in English language to express my love for them.

that's really nice to hear. I wasn't emotionally connected to my grandparents. I don't think I ever heard anything from them that I was valued by them. I didn't feel I particularly mattered to them. I celebrate when I hear of or see something different.
This song always makes me think of my pap-pap. He was the greatest man I’ve ever known. I miss him terribly.
My grandfather is probably dying within the next few months, and this song is very good at summarizing my high esteem for him. Please, whoever sees this, say a prayer for his wellbeing. Thank you, God bless 🙏
Sending my prayers to you and grandpa
GodBless you
God bless him, hope he's still doing his best thing💯❗
Lord please lay your healing hand on your child, and help him and his family in this their time of need 🙏Amen
I've known this song for over 30 years, and the older I've gotten, the harder it's become to not tear up when I sing this song. Hold to your loved ones, and tell them you love them every chance you get!
Walked on Water. I love you Jesus Christ!
No matter race or creed . a grandfather always has a old halo 😥
I can't help but cry when I hear this song... My grandfather was the greatest man I ever knew... he was my best friend.

Yes I do the same I cry on most of the song Randy writes like I 've said before Randy is a angle
beautiful comment
KLUNKET then look forward to the time when he will be resurrected to on earth. It is going to happen.
KLUNKET i too thought my grandpa walked on water...he passed in 2001 but hearing old country makes me think so much of him...sorry for your loss
I think this is common when there is a close bond. My son literally lifted my mother (unconscious) over his head and prayed for her to get well. She had been sick and recovered so many times and he never left her side. He was 38 and cried then and still does if he thinks about her.
I'm 60 years old and I have yet to listen to this song that I don't cry my eyes out!!!
My grandfather passed away in 95 at 100 years old he outlived my father when me and my brother took my grandfather to the funeral home the see my dad he cried for the first time I didn't even see him cry when his wife my grandmother died every time I hear this song and Randy Travis is there anyone that can sing it it reminds me of my dad and my grandfather thank you for the video
My grandpa passed away today he raised me and taught me everything I know
RIP 🤟🏻👆🏼

Love you🎉
Sorry to hear tour loss. I'm 53 mine passed away in 1988 I was 17 then. And his brother passed away 6 months after him. It was to much for my family, and everyone went thier own ways to deal with the losses on thier own. My family was never thier when I needed them at the time I needed them the most. I've never been able to deal with it, and to this day still leaves a huge hole and hurt that's never went away. I hope you well on your journey and send prayers for you and your family.
Your heart be blessed...
Hang in there! Theres someone coming up behind you that NEEDS your story
One of the greatest voices ever. Any genre.
Glad I was raised with this music. I still listen to his voice considering I love my rnb and hiphop. So your comment is 100% the truth
💯🙌
Absolutely! Couldn’t agree more!
That part!!! 💯❤❤❤❤❤🙌🏾
No shit this is country music
My son sang this song at my dad's funeral and cried like a baby as he finished it
I am on board with that
So heartbreaking 😭💔
My Grandpa died
@@silascleghorn6026 sorry for your loss bro
you have a wonderful son hug him for me
Probably one of the most emotional songs EVER. Nobody can make a song the way Randy does. He's the best. Such emotion in his voice. Each song sounds like he's singing directly to you.
I'm 71 and never knew any of my grandpa. I'm a grandpa now and I choked up every time listening to this song. Doing my best to be a grandpa whom my grandchildren can think of "He Walked on Water".
My Grandpa was my 1st love of my life. Well my Dad was my 1st too. Grandpa passed when I was 8, Dad when I was 19.I’m 70 now but I thank the Lord I was privileged to have them.
Hello Susan how are you doing? Hope you are having a nice and great day over there?
Those are such lovely memories and I wish I had some of my own. I'm a great grandma now, but there was always something missing. Now I know what it was. Grandpa
@@lisalopez7488 Hi Lisa it's so nice to hear from you. How are you doing today? Hope everything is going well with you and your family over there?
Thanks Randy, who's here in 2024! Cheers!
My favorite Randy Travis song
I am, reminds me of my grandaddy, fight back tears every time I hear this song.
Me😢 and Glory to God
I always cry when I hear this song... I hope I leave lots of love behind for my children and a grandchildren❤
Me
Randy is an American treasure. God bless.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice to meet you on here.
I love you Randy Travis I saw you in 1987 astrodome Houston Texas I'm 47 now.I listen to you all my life 💯♥️
Lost my momma last April , only 24 my oldest son is 3 . I fight too keep her memory alive wether my father wants it forgotten or not . Kick them shoes off one last time and walk with Jesus I’ll see you in your mansion soon enough momma ❤
Amen
it’s 2020 and in 3 months my grandpa turns 70. Even though he is considered my step grandpa he treats me like his own son. And now that i’m 15 i haven’t taken account for how much he really loves me. I’ve been a little shit my whole life and i’ve never cried so much as i have tonight. You have that special relationship with that one special person. And I’m still learning. I’m gonna cry so much the day he passes but at least I can say that I love him and that I thank him for creating the little man that’s standing next to his casket
Amen brother 👍👍
Wisdom of the ages! May God and his Son be with you and give you peace. ✝️
you sound very wise. .....just love them while they are here..Believe me no matter how you behaved ..he will always love you...it’s never too late to tell him how much he means to you...Grand pas love unconditionally....you are human and it doesn’t matter if they are blood ..My. daddy just passed in Feb..at 91..my brother and I were both adopted as babies....My parents raised me,loved me, helped me....and although we didn’t have the same DNA ....my dad was my dad. ...Good luck.
You go tell that Man how much you Love Him RIGHT NOW, You'll hate Yourself later if You don't.

@@franktucker5 I'm sorry for your loss
My grampa is in his last breaths that's what the doctors are saying.....my mom who's in heaven already waiting for her dad....he was a cowboy and a hard worker....worked till he was 80....and always enjoying his grandkids company.....he helped me through life when I was struggling.... his stories are priceless....grandparents are gold when it comes to advice.....so treasure them and hear their stories before their gone....
Bryant' thanks, people like you make me smile and have hope for the future. God bless you Bryant'
Amen, a wealth of memories!
I hope when i have grandkids that they talk about me the way that you do your grandpa...i'd say he is a lucky man. Thats a good place to be in the end.
Bryant Chavira I know I sure miss hearing stories from my great grandpa about like wwii how he wasn’t aloud in the two city we bombed cause of all the burnt up people and also the a bomb gases
@Sara Llewellyn Sara, my name is Donald Mayer and I live in Coply Pennsylvania. I want you to know I really care because I suffered the loss of my wife in December of 2016. We were married 28 years. I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. I will be more than glad to communicate with you if you want to do that. Sara, I really care!
Makes me teary eyed every time I hear it. My Grandpop passed 58 years ago when I was 11 and I miss him every day.
I was 19 when my wonderful granddad passed away a wonderful Christian gentleman and so humble.
Great song 🎵 they don't make music like this anymore
I never met my grandad . Only a brief pictures of him .
I’m sorry to hear that.
@@lannyfullerj95 same sadly he died when my dad was very young
My 'dad' was not my bio dad, and never worked on a farm, but a steel mill as a boilermaker. I thought he walked on water. It takes a great man to except 2 little girls as his own, and treat them no different than his son and daughter who came later in the marriage. This good man took good care of us till we left home. And was there when we needed help after. Never lifting his hand to us, even though he himself came from an home with a abusive father. Cycles can be broken. I cried harder at his funeral than my Bio Dads who I never really knew. Meet you inside the Eastern Gate Dad.
This song always reminds me of my mom because she used to say that alot. I thought she was pretty special. They must be having fun in heaven, right.
Debra Salamone I think they are, along with my late husband and 2 children.
You were truly blessed.
Beautiful. My husband treats my son and loves him equally the same as he does our daughter so I know what u mean. I thank God for the man I married the second time as I was married before to an abusive man. My son loves him like he was his bio dad. They have a wonderful bond.
My grandfather was in the invasion of
Normandy and the battle of the bulge. He was and is my hero. I thought he walked on water. James R Shores lives in me forever.
If you are from the south. This song will touch ur heart.Everyone should have a person n their life that has this kind of effect.
Doesn’t matter where your from this song is amazing if you love country this will have a place in your heart
Absolutely!
Yup buddy your right
I was 20 yrs old when my big brother (24 ) killed himself .I thouht that he walked on water .Some things you just don' t get over .
@@douggodfrey6521 My little sister killed herself, left 4 kids! They are mine now! I will always be there for them! Life is hard! God Bless!
this is exactly what a child is supposed to think about their grandparents.. so everyone remember if you are one or will be one to show love just as this song expresses. because your memory is what's left when your gone. love your children so much, so that they can love theirs... have a wonderful day all.

GREAT GRAND FATHER; MY MOTHERS DADDY WAS HIS OLDEST SON. BUT IT DON;T MATTER THE WORDS DO ?
Lawiwi Naila You don't have good taste in music nor do you have a heart I feel bad for you.
If this song don’t make you cry, are you even human?
So true it touches your heart...love him
Right on😘
I cry because reminds me of my father he was a great man. Without him i wouldn't be the man i am
We played this at my daddy's celebration of life service. God i miss that man so very much.
To my grandfather. Thank you. For you rescued me when no one else could have. My best friend. My closest confidant. We could always figure anything out together. You made my time on earth here so worthwhile in such a meaningful way.
My dad died 1985, a week before my 15 th bithday. I loved him and he loved me.
im sorry to hear that
My dad died Easter Sunday, 1983 and I had my 47th birthday that same January; believe me, it hurts at any age. took me some years to get the color back in my life. I thought he pretty close to perfect too. A nephew still has his boots and Stetson.
I'm so sorry. :(
So sorry you lost your dad
I'm with ya my dad passed in 1977 I was 13 I cherished the ground he walked on !
Smoothest, most effortless (as in "talented") C&W singer of his generation, here's hoping for Randy's future health & happiness.
Yes, please. His health and comfort.

Played at my Grandpa's funeral. 💛
I have a young grandson who adores me (and me, him)...but when grandpa walks in with me, he will run with arms open wide hollaring...Paw Paw! Paw Paw loves him too. What a blessing our grandies are.
I am a grown man. I cried the day my grandpa died. To this day hearing this song, sometimes I still break down. He was a hero, a legend, in more way than one.
I still think he walked on water...
This is the only song that instantly hits me in the heart..GOD bless you Randy....
I've never cried or felt sad over a song before...never thought I would......
That is..until I found this😫
Yes me as well
Brendan Gargan this reminds me of my grandpa and me my grandpa died July 4th 2016 of septis 😭😭😭

Reminds me and my sister of our Grandpa on our Daddy's side
my dad truly walked on water he was a very good man! and one day I will see him again.
Mine grandfather's were worthless but I am 72 and making sure my grandkids are unconditionally loved. You are a lucky man or woman. I hope you get my point
Mamaw and Papaw both left us some 42 years ago. At times, I can still hear their voices, hear their laughs and fell their hugs. Here I sit now as an older man with grandkids of my own. I hope and pray that I would be the kind of granddaddy to them that Papaw was to me. Thank you, Randy Travis, for songs like this that make us smile from the memories you share in this song.
Randy’s songs and voice is so relatable and touches your heart. ❤️ I wish country music was still like this.
Available very well stated 😇 😉

Thank you, through my severe depression in the Army Randy Travis has helped me through. I love his songs
Thank you for yr service may god bless you and heal u.. Praying for you even thou idk you
I hope you are well. ❤️
I never had anyone in my corner immigrated at 13 and only left one grandparent alive- hardly knew her- but when she cried and hug me and my twin it shocked the shite out of me, till then no one cried for me(us) we did all the crying for the both of us.
I'm fixing to be 37 years old on the 21st of this month. And this song still gets me in a spot that I've put away for a long time. I think of my papa for I know I'll see him again one day.
Who's remembering somebody who walked on water in 2024?
Me, Me, Me
My Dad. Passed away 11-1-24
Well, he never saw ‘24. He passed 12-14-23 but the message is the same. Tough sob if you knew him. Battled lung cancer, strokes and the works but what did him in was loosing his horses. Sold the last three in October of ‘23 and died a few months after.
Oh yeah, my grandfather who passed away in 2010
He walked on water 2024 years ago!!!!
i wish i'd payed more attention to my grand parents love them so much
My aunt grew up down the road from Randy and went to school with him from grade school on he means a lot to the local community. They finally put a mural of him on the side of the building in the hometown of Marshville. This is a classic that will never grow old. ❤️❤️
My all-time favorite from Randy. God bless you brother. You made this world a better place.
AMEN 🙏
Amen🙏
They played this at my grandpas funeral today. Beautiful song ❤️. RIP.
Me to I picked it
My only Grandfather was a old Country Man from Alabama....grew up through the 20s ,30s,40,50s 60s ,and retired in the 70s ...Taught me about Morals ,Honor ,Keep Your Word , be a Southern Gentlemen , don't Disgrace the Family Name ....and so very much more ....miss him everyday ....Love you Granddaddy ...till we see each other again...May the Circle Be Unbroken ...
Amen
This song could have been written about my grandfather! Every time I hear this it reminds me of my grandpa who was a real life cowboy and lifelong farmer/rancher. He was the real deal. When young in the early 1900s he rode a horse, and he worked cattle on a ranch most of his life. I remember when I was a little boy he would be sitting on the porch and he would call me over. He would make me a “pony” out of a broom handle with a bit of rope for the reins and tell me to keep it at a trot! He was good with a gun and he always carried a revolver on the ranch for protection. He taught me how to hunt, fish and work the land. He was an still is my hero. He taught me how to live my life with integrity and how to appreciate family and friends. We need more heroes like these old timers!
The kids are what let's us grandpas walk on water
Greg Mooney when do we tell them we knew where the rocks were? Mines 10
i love my granparents more than anything if i lost either 1 idk what id do
Amen to that I have 6 5 boys and one beautiful granddaughter, I home some day they think I walked on water like I did my grandfather and father.
@@tommygowan3591 i can tell you if your as good as my grandpa is they definatly will and im 14 i love him and i help him all i can with mowing weed eating and stuff and we sit down talk and everything
Sure are right about that...grandmas too❤❤
I remember my mom telling me that the first word I attempted to say sounded like "Bamca". My parents had no idea what I was trying to say; until we went to visit my Grandpa. I come back to this song whenever I need some comfort, and when I need to cry for a bit.
My husband is native, he tells me of his grandpas on both sides, they are so similar to the grandpa in this song. His grandpa and great grandpas were his greatest memories of the older generation. We are both grandparents and have one grandson. Hope we can be as influential to our grand kids and great grandkids. we lost our son yesterday, so we are very sad. May the great spirit look over our son, and his children, as we will do our best to take care of them. We are from South Dakota and are both Sioux. We will survive.

Hello how are you doing
I know i thought for sure my grandpa walked on water so to speak. He was my hero and he's only been gone a little over a week it feels like forever already
the man I'm with today will always walk on water because he takes care of her daughter and he'll always walking with her the one Dawn Michelle testerman
Beside him.
I loved my papaw he passed away from cancer in 2011 . But there was no better man I loved besides Jesus Christ.
My grandfather did walk on water. Lost him at 13 and now I'm in my 40s and I've never met a man as good as my grandpa, never found anybody who got me like he did either.
Mr Travis you are a Legend. Your voice will always resonate in our hearts. Thank you Sir, Thank you.
He walked on water
Yes he is he is the best of use all
that song was play at my grandma and grandpa gave
KoiNadi. Yes Great Talent listen to Randy Travis on the radio station at work.
U r all right I wish u still singing,it’s all right all ok bro 🎤 plz
I never had a grandfather. So I come here to read and to live vicariously through the comments. Thanks everyone.
Fun fact he was actually at my house back in the 90’s before i was born, my grandmother invited him over after his show in kentucky and he pulled up in a brand new caddy and used the shower and took time to meet and thank everyone, even handed her a 100 dollar bill. blessed to know my granny met him before he passed and she is currently in icu at this very moment.. i know she’ll see him again at those pearly gates along with lost family members if god chooses to call her home.
Thanks Randy Travis this was a really touching song

This Is My Song To My Daddy
My Grandpa was an old farmer here in Michigan. Besides my daddy, I thought he was the greatest man on earth. He was born in 1908 and passed in 1994. I miss him every single day.
Haven’t listened to Randy in years and had forgotten just how talented he was. Amazing. Thanks Randy.
Mjiakiiqmkoamkooammioa,koao,qjkq,,koqk,1lokq,koa,koa,
I too have been guilty and cannot tell you why, my wife met him at Walmart in Greensboro……. And she said he was the perfect gentleman….. and he sang this occupela Or whatever the word is no instruments
Representing 2022
I played with Randy in The 90’s. Was as down to earth and any guy you would ever meet. I hated seeing him when he was sick, but I’ll remember him as just another guy you’d run into at Walmart lol.
Saw him last nite as he received honor on CMT show. He is awesome. Unfortunately CMT is trying to take country down the tubes. Was sad to watch. The diversity is wonderful, but not diluting country music !
Great song , kills me every time . I'll for ever miss my Grandpa
I remember him and possum together.good combo..UNC.D.
This is mAh first time I heard this song.. I'm very amazed. Very beautiful meaningful song
My grandfather raised me when i turn 3 yrs.old he was my father and grandfather i was twice as lucky to have had him in my life .
Me too. My grandfather was 90 years old in '63 as well! He passed on in '66. I miss his car rides, "Go faster!", and his walks up town at noon for a hamburger on bread at Mike's Pool Hall! So many good memories.
God i miss my grand parents its a damn shame country music has gone to shits today
lead me home Jamey Johnson it's beautiful and heart felt
people should watch their language i love country music i don't use foul language
i love country music as well but i cuss like a damn sailor. its a family thing
An undercooked potato?
Adriana Perry I feel u
it's Damn shame
This song, and "Deeper than the Holler" make me cry. My grandfather died when I was 16, and my sister loved "Deeper than the Holler." We both bawled our eyes out.
My Dad first introduced me to Randy Travis. I've listened to him since his first release in 1985. My mom and he had a tumultuous relationship from the time they met, when my mom was just 15. There were 22 years between them in age, and her parents forbid they marry. Through many ups and downs, failed relationships and marriages for both of them (and the birth of a few children including myself - sadly none together 😓), they finally stopped listening to others and married in 1988, 22 years after they first met. Because of their past experiences, they were emotionally connected to so many of Randy's songs. They would dance in our living room, holding each other tightly and singing his songs to each other with tears streaming down their faces, sorrowful for all their missed opportunities for happiness with each other.
My dad used to sing in a men's a capella group and [I believe] in the church choir when he was young. One Christmas we bought him a karaoke machine. He would spend his days singing and recording himself singing all the various harmonies of Randy's songs and layering them together, and I would sit and listen to him. They were gloriously happy for 22 years, until he passed suddenly in his sleep. We played his recordings of Randy Travis at his Celebration of Life.
Randy was like a dear friend in our home and away.. while driving back and forth to Sick Kids hospital in Toronto, our son would cry, "Digga Bone, Digga Bone!" if we turned on the music and it wasn't Randy Travis. The day my mom passed a few years ago, I played that same compilation of music from my dad's service. She was in a medically induced coma (for pain control - she could hear, but couldn't talk or move), but I saw her brow go up and she squeezed my hand ever so slightly.. and took her last breath not long afterwards.
The memories of a beautiful love and life come flooding in whenever I hear his music. He has touched my life in so many ways, so many times in the past 40 years, I will be forever grateful for what he has done for his country music fans.
I was lucky to see him once in concert at Rama Casino, Ontario, Canada. He told some amazing stories of his life and of course, his beautiful smile, baritone voice and heartfelt songs had me singing, dancing and crying. I sooo wished my dad could have been there with me. I shared the experience with my best friend, and we rushed the stage afterwards for autographs. She got her ticket signed, sadly I didn't.. but knowing what a HUGE fan I am, she gave me her ticket to keep, Forever and Ever, Amen. Thank you, Randy Travis. ❤️
Beautiful ❤
My grandfather died 30 years ago...I still miss him...good ole Fred.
Hello Pam I'm so deeply sorry for you lost your grandfather. I lost mind few months back. we aren't that close so I didn't really feel it. But my friend lost his mother and it burst my heart to piece's I know how it feels to lose your love one's. Please take good care of yourself
I know it's about a great grandpa, but this song makes me think of my mom. She passed when I was four. She walked on water
I love Randy for singing this song, my Grandpa Riggs also walked on water
The fact that we are all listening to this song means that someone special has changed our lives. Challenge yourself every day to live like the man that this song reminds you of. Continue the legacy of men being men; men being fathers and husbands and fearing the lord. This country needs more men like this men like us!
Well put!
Amen
This song by Randy reminds me of my grandfather. Everytime I hear it I cry, cause I thought he walked on water. Randy, thank you for recording this. It touches me deeply. And may God bless you with all you are going through.
I cry like a baby when I hear this song. All of Randy's songs touch me in someway. I am so sorry for the sorrow in his life.
Me as well
Happy New Year to you and your family may God bless you
We are truly blessed if we have or had people in our lives, who come to mind when we hear this song. Thanks, Randy. It's beautiful!
When this song came out I.was on tour with a rock band, just happened to be in Toronto at CPI., for a meeting. That night Alan Jackson, and Randy were at the CNE., an outside shed venue. We were invited each of us sorta of chuckled at each other, we went to be kind. This song, stopped me dead in my tracks, I can remember exactly where I was, what I was wearing the approximate time and weather. From a rocker music DOES NOT get any better than this
Fuckin' A RIGHT!!! 👌👍👍 Although, I, myself, would prob label me a "rocker" as well, I'm actually VERY VERY versatile musically. And proud to be so! 😉 Heh. But that's a cool ass story. Whether it's completely (or at all) true, no one will ever really know. 4 sure. No offense btw. I mean ABSOLUTELY NO disrespect etc. I just don't blindly believe everything I hear see & read. Especially, on YT. Heh. 🤔 But I definitely HOPE that it's true!! 😬😛😉
I'm a roller no offense please but Hope it's the rock that started the roll and made the roll called a roller chosen . And to get some fuel for a good fire to be able to get the meat cooked when you get ready for that. Remember you'll never be able run short of hope It's the easy one it's like GOD gave us a freebie to help big faith.

My Grandfather passed away 30 years ago I was only 12 this song has a special meaning in my heart it's amazing how much he impacted my life I miss him everyday I hope to have that affect on my children and grand children one day so never take your family for grant and cherish every moment you can with them .
This is most likely my favorite song by Mr.Travis. He was so young then
My Grandparents raised me and adopted me. I was always with my granddad !! He was my best friend and a great Dad!! I miss them both much 😢!! I had a great life with them!!
I sang this song at our family reunion and several people were crying. When I was done , everyone wanted to know who sang the song and I told them, " one of the best country and western artists Randy Travis!"
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me.
I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
Sad so sorry for your lost
