I lost my Daddy about a year ago and I’m bawling my eyes out listening to this song. It was the first song that came to mind right after he died. He was 88 and I’m 62 - the youngest of three daughters. He and my mom were together for almost 70 years. He was the best Daddy a child could ever want and a wonderful and loving husband to my mom. He was a fine Christian man and a very loving, caring and funny man. I was a Daddy’s girl even up until the day he passed and I cherish those precious times we had together. Well, Pops, I’ll see you on the other side some sweet day. I love you and miss you. ❤️
Oh Shelly, you've got me bawling now too. I lost my beloved Daddy in front of me December 2021, 9 months after my mom passed. He was a few months shy of 88. My parents were married almost 65 years, together for almost 70 years. I'm the youngest of 3 girls but also have a younger and an older brother. I was always Daddy's little girl. I miss him so incredibly much that hearing this song on another channel started me crying. I hope your heart is mending a little.
My heart feels your heart, My story is your story. except this reminds me a lot of my brother who passed away in 2004, age 53suddenly from a heart attack while hiking. And could play and sing this song on his guitar. Listening just now it did remind me of my father who died on 11/20/2023 at 92 years old, and my mom on 01/01/2022 at 89 years old Married 71 years. I am so grateful to have the parents I had but would give anything.
I was just a kid when this song came out. And now I'm 60 years old and listening to this song and crying my eyes out. Momma and Daddy, I miss you so damn much!
This song reminds me of what I'd do if I could have my husband back anything. To have him, my parents, my sister, my brothers. You'd do what you had to just for a min but a min isn't enough time. There'd never be enough time! All my love "___"!
I’m 62 & I remember hearing this when riding with my sister (she was 18 when I was born) I loved their music so much & would sit in her car & listen to her Bread tape over & over..When she realized how much I loved their music, she gave me the 8 track tape.. She passed in 2013 & I miss her so much. She was my Sister/Momma after our parents passed when I was 16. She was like a grandma to my 2 boys.. 1 of my sons is named for her .. I called her Jo.. my sons name is Joey.. I miss & love you my little/big sister/momma..
I'm 60 too. My dad just died tonight. When I was little, Bread was our favorite group and we listened to them a lot together. I knew, and still know, all the words to their songs. This one tears my heart out.
Losing your parents is one of the hardest things to survive. The ones you love that were always there for you are suddenly gone, and you're that orphan that you were always afraid of being. It's life. It's sad and yet, it wonderful that you had them in your life. Thanks, mom and dad. I will forever be greatful. 🤍
This song makes me cry. I lost my mom when hospital staff beat and killed her. I never got a chance to tell her how much I loved her and my heart is forever broken
So true.. my mom died 2022 and my father following year 2023 which ia just 4 montjs ago..very difficult to handle..im in a state of linda ,kinda lost..some days i'm some days that feels like I don't want to be alive.. but trying to move on is like a roller coaster ride..i miss them terribly
@@sheeve2003I’m so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier. I’m starting depositions this month for my mom’s trial. I will keep fighting for justice. The hospital staff that beat and killed her need to be held accountable. Her case was on the news. Sturdy Hospital staff beat and killed her. Justice for Carol Smith 🙏🏼
I completely understand. Back in Sept of 2000 and Sept of 2001, I was orphaned. Lost both my Mom and Dad in 5 days shy of a year. I was 34 when I lost my Mom. I still do not know how to handle not having them in my life. I am soon to have outlived them both in years....... :(
My lovely wife lost her life 3 months ago, after a long battle with cancer. I do understand those who have spoken of the loss of their dear one. Ours was a 60 year love story, and that alone drives me on. That a beautiful songs such as this ❤
@michellewolf5636 I too lost my beautiful wife of 57 years to that evil disease of Pancreatic cancer. She bravely fought this thing along with treatments at MD Anderson but even they couldn't save her.
I still have my parents, they are getting old, and it saddens me to know that they may be gone from me someday...and I would give anything to go back to when I was young and living with them...those were the Best days of my life and I didn't even know it at the time...I am blessed that I still have them.
My mom.passed away 2022 and my father followed 2023 which is just 4 months ago.. i'm in a state of limbo and kinda lost..too difficult to handle..i miss them terribly..
May you find comfort from all the love you feel. That love never dies. It is so sad to not be able to see them again. But you didn't lose the spiritual gifts. It hurts, but hold on to them tighter than ever and let them live on through your thoughts, your ways, and your heart. Give and give love always. And pray for the ones who will never know the pain of losing the kind of love that comes from a parent.
My dad passed in 2020. During Covid. What you said is exactly my thoughts. My childhood was so amazing growing up in the 70s 80s. I didn’t know it at the time but it was such a perfect time to grow up. Life seemed easy and faultless. I’d go back to them days in a flash. Everybody just seemed happy 💔
I have loved this song since childhood. I have always appreciated the melody, but now that I am older and have lost my dearest father, I understand and appreciate the lyrics even more. Missing you always, Pa. I would give everything I own just to have you back again.🥲😢
Bread was one of my dad’s favorite bands and I remember him always listening to this song in particular and he just passed away a few weeks ago so now I can’t stop listening to it 😢
One of the saddest parts of growing old is knowing I'll never get to see my kid's future, my grandkids and my great grandkids. I've seen my kids grow up and have their kids and three having kids...my great grandkids. They're babies and I will get to see my great grand baby from my grandson, Dylan!!!!!!! And she's a she! I'm so excited!!! I know she will be one of the most beautiful babies ever!!!!! Her parents are beautiful and handsome!!!!! I know God will be with her, him and the baby forever!!!!!!! I love my babies!! All sizes!!!!
The baby girl is due June 11th so it won't be much longer. She may be early, she could be late but she will BE!!!!!!! A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all the lace, bows, ribbons, frilly this and frilly that!!! Beautiful baby!!!!!
i feel yah bruh, its the saddest part will be happened that we cannot stop or control the situation so we must face the reality that everyone will go there too
This song just popped in my ear upon remembering my brother who suddenly died two weeks ago…. He’s our rockstar, our own Kurt Cobain, our beloved brother decided to be with God who left us in tears
Every song Bread ever did was my youth. As a silly young girl, I always thought it was about a lost love. In a way, it is. I’m 62 now, and think about it differently. I have lost my brother and sister, my mommy, my father (who cares), all my aunts and uncles, grandparents, my only nephew, and so on, and so on. I was the youngest of my family, and really only have 1 cousin left, who is 76. As a 62 year old, it has other meanings. Of course, it could always be about the one who broke your heart, but at this stage, it’s all about family and home. People live their lives every day taking for granted what they have. You have it all, but it can be taken from you in an instant. It happened to me and probably many of you. My prayers and sympathies to all who have lost even one loved one. RIP mommy, and my whole family. Until we meet up again someday. Hopefully 🤞, not to soon 😳😵💫🥶😱💀😁. Hey I do have 4 grandkids. I hope I’m around to see them grow up. They are my heart ❤️! UA-cam friends, we shall all meet up in Heaven. Until then, may God Bless each and every one of you 🙏❤️🙏❤️!
I am pushing 40 and lost my dad a few years ago. I was never able to show him my path in life would lead to success. Then all but one of his siblings died, including my uncle who was the only guy in my family that supported my choices. I was never able to repay his kindness either. I remain at a dead end job as my widowed mother continues to cloister herself. My sibs are prepping to move away and marry their partners. I recently got quite sick and have progressive and permanent physical and mental decline. I just ended a 6 yr relationship after ending a 5 year relationship after a turbulent 1 year relationship. My best friend in life, who was the only one who understood me at my core and was my 2nd ex, told me to f off when i contacted her after years apart. My dog just lost an eye and has a huge tumor. I am in debt for more than im worth. My sports club, where i hoped to master and teach our indigenous sport, has all but cast me out, not believing i have developed a crippling disability. I dont know why im still around listening to melancholy songs and reading comments that make me feel worse.
We must forgive our parents- it's not good for them or you to hold anything against anybody- I know it's much easier said than done, but it's easily done by what is said & felt in the heart, whatever their disfunction may have been, they were only frail, faulted human beings like all of us - abusers were often abused themselves - not an excuse or pass for them, but a dose of understanding, & even if you don't understand, you can just enough to forgive & then you can let it go- * until we can fully embrace,Love & forgive every aspect of ourselves,especially the aspects we like the least, we are unable to forgive others- to not forgive is a heavy chain around your own neck- that's all - peace be with you😊
@@jerald6023 You nailed it perfectly. It’s a hard thing to forgive (and sometimes we just don’t or won’t ) but when we finally let it go, it frees us of that cumbersome burden. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and he is there to help us through it. This is how your faith grows and helps you to be stronger for the next hardship in life. My grandmother would always say, “you can’t have a testimony without a test.” She’s right and the point being as we navigate through life, we have experiences that may help someone else that is going through a hard time. I’m the one who originally posted about the song and I must say, everyone who has posted in response has truly helped me and given me great comfort. Thank you all so much - you’ve all been such a blessing! Matthew 29: Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30: For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” 🙏❤️
@shellylister7006 Thank you, to share what I've been shown in hopes of helping is the intention of course & it's good to know it may have- 3 years ago I lost my Mom 17 days after my Father passed, its common for one to go soon after the other when together for so long- (62 years)- & my faith has grown & strengthened significantly since.
I heard this on the radio the very week my brother passed away a few yrs back. I was organising his funeral by myself and when i heard this song that particular week in the car, i just happened to listen to the words whilst driving and it reduced me to tears. The DJ then mentioned when the song had finished that it was written by David Gates for his Dads funeral. I changed one of the songs already chosen for my brothers funeral there and then knowing this was the right song to have. Can not listen to this song now without being all emotional. Beautiful, beautiful song.
Bread had some of the best songs! This one touches my heart and makes me think back to a time in my life that I miss so much and makes me miss someone that I really loved.
I feel your pain…..so very sorry for your loss, we lost our son too, next week it will be 18 yrs ago, he was 18, and so many songs bring me to tears like this one too….”I would be give anything I own, to have him back again” 💔💔💔🙏🏻
While I was driving, this song on UA-cam started playing, and my ten-year-old child said to me, "I hope I never have to experience this." It made me reflect on my father and brother, who unfortunately passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. I cherish my child, and I hope to live for at least another 80 years to spend more time with him.
This song came out when I was a teenager and loved it but in a romantic way, listening this same song now that I’m in my 60’s has a totally different meaning. I missed my parents so much, here I am crying my heart out.
This reminds me of My Wildflower, my daughter. Idk where she is or if she's ok but I pray every day that wherever she is that God is watching over her. I don't blame her for leaving. She has always bn a Free Spirit & a Daughter of God. She has Always bn His!!
This kind of music I've always listen when i was 7 yrs old..until now. They are beautiful songs..i appreciate it more.. Thank you so much papa my biggest inspiration thats why i love more old but gold music
This song reminded me of so many people in my life. Romantic partners , friends, and family members who had made and left a big imprint in my heart and life ❤
I don’t know who you are but your message struck me hard. I lost both my parents tragically, was not able to see them before they passed. I miss them a lot every day. God help me.
This song is so beautifully heartbreaking. My mom passed away this year and I find my dad singing this song while crying to himself every now and then. I can’t imagine losing a partner of 40+ years.
Same to u my mom.passed away 2022 and my father followed 1 year whixh is last year, just 4.months ago..closer to Christmas..too difficult to handle...i'm limbo for 2 years and on going this year..
@@sheeve2003 I’m so sorry. Sending you lots of love and warmth ❤️ nothing can ever prepare us for the loss of a parent, but know that they would want us to continue living life with as much happiness and peace as possible.
I sang this song to my 17 year old girlfriend and a year later I got to marry the most beautiful girl in the world….almost 50 years later God took her home, now she’s free of the terrible pain of bone and liver cancer….miss you baby, love ❤️ you forever!! I’m gonna “try” to sing this song to her one more time at the Celebration of Life ceremony on the 4th of May 24, please God be with me!!!! Prayers requested!! Thanks to all……
I lost the love of my life due to cancer in August of 2023. Cancer robs a lot of people from their life. I would give anything to have my better half again. 😢
Heard this back when I was a kid. In the car, long ride, man does it hit home pretty hard. Thinking back then, my dad, must've thought of himself back when he was also just a kid. He is a great man. Man of a few words, my dad did everything he could to the best of his ability. I wish I could've done more for pops . As we each get busy with life sometimes we fail to notice that while u are aging, they too are as well. Now I'm 26 and clueless about lifeshts, but I pray to God that all through it all may He be with me. I pray to make it and give it back to my mum and pops. You never really know how it all will play out. So to us who're still trying to make it stop worrying and focus on your day to day hustles. Happy new year, may the odds be never against us. I'm proud of u for surving
He's singing this about his Dad! Never knew this until recently. I lost my Dad May 22' and I feel the very same way: miss him so very much . Love you Pops
G'day to you again Oh Guru of Sound, "It don't matter to me!" "Everything I own!" and "Diary!" meant a lot to me at the time they came out, I was going through some bad times, thanks once again for the Flash Backs Brother, this time next week I will be 74
Wow, your comment has really hit home for me, I also had an Uncle Dave that passed away at about the same time and Bread was also his favourite band, I can’t listen to this song without thinking of him
This was my dad's fav group. He has passed away 12 years ago. Everytime I hear Bread or David Gates, it brings back memories of our family being whole again. Thank you for uploading this.
Very beautiful song... So touching and even could drop our tears when listening in the middle of the night.. So wonderful song. I cherished it all the time..
What a wonderful group Bread were.David Gates up there with the best songwriters.He wrote this song about his father who passed away.Doesnt get much better than this.Love from Australia.
I feel you,, my mother just passed aways,, and everytime i hear this it makes me cry,, we always listen to old song like this, I miss her so so so much 😭
Lost my 5 days old niece due to heart problem last April 27. This song says everything I want to tell her. I never knew that this song will have this strong impact in my life now. To my Alessia Gi, wherever you are now... I would've given up everything for you. I'D GIVE UP MY LIFE ... MY HEART FOR YOU love, just to touch you once again :(
This song shatters me…. I miss my precious husband so much. He died last Christmas of cancer. He was my perfect partner for over 20 years, I will never be the same. I keep thinking this will get easier but so far not so much. Please tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, before it’s too late. I was lucky enough to be holding my sweethearts hand when he passed. But my heart cries every day without him. I took my beautiful sweetheart for granted, then he was gone
"Death must be so beautiful. to lie in the soft brown earth with the grass waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace for love is always with you and love is stronger than death..." That is not the correct quotation but I hope these words comfort you as they do me.
How well I understand your anguish . My beloved husband passed away last summer, and like you and your husband, mine passed as we held hands. I thank God everyday for 35 wonderful years with him. I cry ever day and cry myself to sleep every night. So far, it has not gotten easier for me either, but hope that someday it will. I will keep you in my prayers! God bless you. 🙏🙏❤️ .
@@CarolyneRoberts my deepest condolences my friend, but please know that I do not speak lightly, but I speak from the same experience. My heart hurts for you. The pain is not something I would wish on my worst enemy… Oh if my sweet husband knew how pathetic I have been, he would be so mad at me 🫣😢 But ultimately I know that I will never be the same. He was the light of my life
Had always heard the song throughout my life but had really only heard the chorus. I'm 35 and was living and taking care of my mom when she passed in February of this year due to a doctor botching her surgery. Did some digging for music to cry everything and saw this listed and wondered why a love song was posted. Then I put it on with the lyrics and fell apart. I wasn't a very good caretaker or friend before everything happened so it really resonates.
I remember my dad telling me a story. I came across this song today on tik tok. I’m I’m my early 30s now. Thank you for the song dad. You were here today ❤️❤️❤️
I waited all my life to meet the love of my life and now Fatima, you have completely filled my life with love, joy, happiness, and warmth and I need nothing else but the rest of my life with you!!! I believe God made us go through our trials and tribulations so when we finally met, we would know and NEVER look back!!! My heart and soul are full now with you embedded within them!!!! I will NEVER let you go and have won’t need to wish you to come back!!! I LOVE YOU Fatima Cristina, Forever and Always!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ M
I have to be honest, I never heard of this song or the group. I know, sorry. I was rewatching an old, very season of Sister Wives and they talked about this song. How Cody used to sing this song to Meri and sang it to her on their Wedding Day. So, of course I went searching on UA-cam to hear the song and love it. So Beautiful and put it on my TikTok with my Cat. My TT is all about my Cat. Thank you for having the song on here.
I lost my life partner on Oct 7,2021 to cancer. And I definitely would give up everything to have him back again! Forever and always!! Love and miss you so much💔😪❤️
I wonder if David Gray had any idea how many tears would be shed, by so many people, listening to this song? I can barely listen to it, much less play and sing it, without breaking. I want to for the lady I love, who I'm scared to death of losing, but wonder if I'd make it all the way through. Thank you, David, for a song so beautiful and moving beyond words.
I lost my dad, sister, cousins (4) friends, and this song reminds me of how much I truly love and miss them. My condolences to anyone who lost family or friends.
I just lost my mum late August this yr n my dad at 16 in 2017 + my nan got dementia for like 5-6yrs I kinda feel what your feeling 😔 I'm very sorry for your losses, may their souls RIP🥺❤️❤️
Music 50 years ago was built different. This might just be one of the most toughing heart felt songs I've ever heard. This song needs to be heard more!
I've lost everyone in my life. My parents both from COVID, older brother to a car wreck, someone supposed to be my fiance' to drugs, and my little brother to an OD( he was on heroin but someone sold him fentanyl) This Sunday morning (December 1, 2024) marks one year since I found him on my patio not breathing. I truly would give everything I own to have him back again 😢😢❤
When our father passed away on August 20, 2021 my heart was crushed. So whenever I remember the good things my father did to me I just listen to this song. This song really made me cry 😭
I read the comments. Many about parents who have died. It really stirred me. Mine are alive. But, it was long ago, a few decades that they were kind, sweet, supportive. I am the youngest, and somewhere back there they became different people. Narcissists, cruel, dangerous. I miss the hope and joy of life when they were normal humans. Spent 17 years w brain trauma as an adult due to their neglect. Healed now. Survived. I'm normal, healthy, beautiful. But this song and the comments really touched me deep-- I once had something I would deeply miss about my parents. Not in the past 30 years, but at one time, Iong ago, I had that. I can be thankful, not for what I didnt get but for what I did get. God bless you all.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs I always heard growing up. Never paid attention to the lyrics until now that he just recently passed. No other song can express how I feel the way this does. Love you Daddy. Rest in peace.
My mother passed in November and to this day I have a permanent lump in my throat, i will never get over her death, we never had anything growing up and this pained my mother to tears, her clamoring to make ends meet left me in full admiration of his perseverance and grit, a woman of the highest caliber who never gave up once, I stand in honor of her every second of my life, I will see her again or this whole mess is for nothing. Thank-you mum for your life.
As a kid I liked this song but never really understood it...now as an adult it really hits home after losing my wife 3 years ago to cancer at only 50 years old. 😥💔
Oh yes, I thought I was hearing from Jesus. I ve lost everything I'm 71, I live in a shelter. I wondered why God let me lose everything I only had some last precious things in a friend's garage. She would not give them to me. God could have stopped that but he didn't. Afyer hearing this song, I thought that he knew that I won't need those things because. I would give up, my life. My heart my soul. Just to be with him. I ve always gotten messages thru songs I believe God answered my question. By did you let everything get taken from me. I cried because I really want to be with JESUS.
I’ve come here after I was on a ride with my Mimi. This song suddenly came on the radio and she sang along to it with all her heart. I love her so much and I will miss her when she’s gone
I change the first lyrics to, "I sheltered you from harm. Kept you warm, kept you warm..." and sing this to my only son that died. He gave my life to me after I gave birth to him because he gave me a new life that set me free from the old life. He taught me how to love the first time I held him. He taught and showed me so much during the years he was here and I would give anything I own just to have him back again. Just to hold him once again. 💛
You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you And I would give anything I own I'd give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again You taught me how to love What it's of, what it's of You never said too much But still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know The part of me that can't let go And I would give anything I own I'd give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Is there someone you know Your loving them so But taking them all for granted? You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say I would give anything I own I'd give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you once again
Five months ago, I lost my dear and beloved mama to cancer. I thought it would be easy these past few months as time passed. I was wrong. This song was recommended to me by UA-cam after listening to Anne Murray's "You Needed Me." Every time I hear this song, I can't help but reminisce about all the good memories my mama and I had. Among her four children, I was the luckiest to have spent more than two decades with her until she hugged me for the last time and said goodbye.
The pain in my heart for my little girl Molly that was with me for 18 years as my soul companion , just a little cross breed dog that gave me so much love and comfort through my darkest days , this song is just the truth of my thoughts and hopefully soon I will be with her again never to be parted in all eternity
Listening to this for my best little boy El Jefe, my only baby who died eight weeks ago. They have been the loneliest and hardest weeks of my life. We only had him for a short five years, but he brought so much light and joy and love to every day. He was there for everything, no matter what mood I was in or how much I was struggling, to listen without judgement, care without limits, and just hold space with me in this dark world. He was my best friend and the most perfect companion. I'd give anything to have his pure spirit, energy, and beauty back in our lives.
I feel your pain! Lost my dog Noah (Jack Russell mix breed) December 10-2022 and this song breaks my heart cause I would give everything just to have him back again!!! 😢Best song Bread and writer David! In heaven playing for my boy Noah!!!!
For me, this saddest of songs says it all, really. I lost my darling Mammy six weeks ago. She had just turned 100 years old, but was very unwell. She was everything to me - my best friend, my confidante, my counsellor, my safety net... the list would be endless She exuded warmth, forgiveness and kindness. I was so lucky and so blessed to have her for 77 years, although that makes it so much harder to say goodbye. All I want now is to join her as soon as the Big Fella can manage it. I love you more than ever and will never stop missing you, my treasure. Thank you for having me, and for giving me a lovely life filled with warmth, goodness and happiness. Nighty-night until we meet again, Mammy.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost mine February 2024 after 32 years. Everything I am has changed and will never be the same, including my brain chemistry. A struggle to keep moving forward, but I move forward with him in my heart.
I lost my Daddy about a year ago and I’m bawling my eyes out listening to this song. It was the first song that came to mind right after he died. He was 88 and I’m 62 - the youngest of three daughters. He and my mom were together for almost 70 years. He was the best Daddy a child could ever want and a wonderful and loving husband to my mom. He was a fine Christian man and a very loving, caring and funny man. I was a Daddy’s girl even up until the day he passed and I cherish those precious times we had together. Well, Pops, I’ll see you on the other side some sweet day. I love you and miss you. ❤️
Oh Shelly, you've got me bawling now too. I lost my beloved Daddy in front of me December 2021, 9 months after my mom passed. He was a few months shy of 88. My parents were married almost 65 years, together for almost 70 years. I'm the youngest of 3 girls but also have a younger and an older brother. I was always Daddy's little girl. I miss him so incredibly much that hearing this song on another channel started me crying. I hope your heart is mending a little.

Same! Lost my daddy two years ago and it still stings! I hope you find comfort in this beautiful song! Sometimes music is my only friend!
My heart feels your heart, My story is your story. except this reminds me a lot of my brother who passed away in 2004, age 53suddenly from a heart attack while hiking. And could play and sing this song on his guitar. Listening just now it did remind me of my father who died on 11/20/2023 at 92 years old, and my mom on 01/01/2022 at 89 years old Married 71 years. I am so grateful to have the parents I had but would give anything.
@@josephbreid7658 What a sweet story. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️
I was just a kid when this song came out. And now I'm 60 years old and listening to this song and crying my eyes out. Momma and Daddy, I miss you so damn much!
This song reminds me of what I'd do if I could have my husband back anything. To have him, my parents, my sister, my brothers. You'd do what you had to just for a min but a min isn't enough time. There'd never be enough time! All my love "___"!
60 here too, this was maybe 7th grade when this came out ?? Bread made nice music.
I’m 62 & I remember hearing this when riding with my sister (she was 18 when I was born) I loved their music so much & would sit in her car & listen to her Bread tape over & over..When she realized how much I loved their music, she gave me the 8 track tape..
She passed in 2013 & I miss her so much. She was my Sister/Momma after our parents passed when I was 16. She was like a grandma to my 2 boys.. 1 of my sons is named for her .. I called her Jo.. my sons name is Joey..
I miss & love you my little/big sister/momma..
I'm 60 too. My dad just died tonight. When I was little, Bread was our favorite group and we listened to them a lot together. I knew, and still know, all the words to their songs. This one tears my heart out.
@@mofadelle So sorry for your loss.
Losing your parents is one of the hardest things to survive. The ones you love that were always there for you are suddenly gone, and you're that orphan that you were always afraid of being. It's life. It's sad and yet, it wonderful that you had them in your life. Thanks, mom and dad. I will forever be greatful. 🤍
This song makes me cry. I lost my mom when hospital staff beat and killed her. I never got a chance to tell her how much I loved her and my heart is forever broken
@@Lendingyourlightim so sorry for that, 😢
So true.. my mom died 2022 and my father following year 2023 which ia just 4 montjs ago..very difficult to handle..im in a state of linda ,kinda lost..some days i'm some days that feels like I don't want to be alive.. but trying to move on is like a roller coaster ride..i miss them terribly
@@sheeve2003I’m so sorry for your loss. It never gets easier. I’m starting depositions this month for my mom’s trial. I will keep fighting for justice. The hospital staff that beat and killed her need to be held accountable. Her case was on the news. Sturdy Hospital staff beat and killed her. Justice for Carol Smith 🙏🏼
I completely understand. Back in Sept of 2000 and Sept of 2001, I was orphaned. Lost both my Mom and Dad in 5 days shy of a year. I was 34 when I lost my Mom. I still do not know how to handle not having them in my life. I am soon to have outlived them both in years....... :(
I'm 50 years old ... Hear all Bread songs from Radio. And every time I hear it again seems like match with my life & what I feel about it
My lovely wife lost her life 3 months ago, after a long battle with cancer. I do understand those who have spoken of the loss of their dear one. Ours was a 60 year love story, and that alone drives me on. That a beautiful songs such as this ❤
I’m sorry for your loss. Your lovestory is so beautiful. I hope everything will be alright in time for you.❤ Hugs for you 🫂💓
So very sorry my friend 🙏
So many that have gone home, before me! And Lord knows id give it all! My heart goes out to all of us who have loved&lost
Thinking the same about my beloved husband, Aron, who died from the cruel monster of pancreatic cancer.
@michellewolf5636 I too lost my beautiful wife of 57 years to that evil disease of Pancreatic cancer. She bravely fought this thing along with treatments at MD Anderson but even they couldn't save her.
This is music... This is one of the greatest theme in music history... A classic.
Clasdics Will remain... FOREVER
Greetings from Chile
I still have my parents, they are getting old, and it saddens me to know that they may be gone from me someday...and I would give anything to go back to when I was young and living with them...those were the Best days of my life and I didn't even know it at the time...I am blessed that I still have them.

My mom.passed away 2022 and my father followed 2023 which is just 4 months ago.. i'm in a state of limbo and kinda lost..too difficult to handle..i miss them terribly..
May you find comfort from all the love you feel. That love never dies. It is so sad to not be able to see them again. But you didn't lose the spiritual gifts. It hurts, but hold on to them tighter than ever and let them live on through your thoughts, your ways, and your heart. Give and give love always. And pray for the ones who will never know the pain of losing the kind of love that comes from a parent.
My dad passed in 2020. During Covid. What you said is exactly my thoughts. My childhood was so amazing growing up in the 70s 80s. I didn’t know it at the time but it was such a perfect time to grow up. Life seemed easy and faultless. I’d go back to them days in a flash. Everybody just seemed happy 💔
I have loved this song since childhood. I have always appreciated the melody, but now that I am older and have lost my dearest father, I understand and appreciate the lyrics even more.
Missing you always, Pa. I would give everything I own just to have you back again.🥲😢
ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC I grew up in the 1970.and 1980 and we had the best music thanks
Amen to that. But I still don't know why this song is so freakin' sad!
🤲❤❤❤❤🤲
This is my favorite bread song and one of my favorite songs. They do not make songs like this any more. Beautiful song!
Yes
This song brings back memories of the 70s, also when I hear this song I cry thinking of my 5 year old that died 27 years ago.
Bread was one of my dad’s favorite bands and I remember him always listening to this song in particular and he just passed away a few weeks ago so now I can’t stop listening to it 😢
One of my favorite songs. Sorry to hear that your Dad passed away. Hope that you will be OK.
Cheer up bro😇🙁
Hope you feel better soon
@@softroseforyou7457 thank you so much
@@bsiscs-1crazonluigif.180 thank you!
One of the saddest part of growing up is seeing your parents getting old.
Sadder than that is not getting to watch them get old.
One of the saddest parts of growing old is knowing I'll never get to see my kid's future, my grandkids and my great grandkids. I've seen my kids grow up and have their kids and three having kids...my great grandkids. They're babies and I will get to see my great grand baby from my grandson, Dylan!!!!!!! And she's a she! I'm so excited!!! I know she will be one of the most beautiful babies ever!!!!! Her parents are beautiful and handsome!!!!! I know God will be with her, him and the baby forever!!!!!!!
I love my babies!! All sizes!!!!
The baby girl is due June 11th so it won't be much longer. She may be early, she could be late but she will BE!!!!!!! A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all the lace, bows, ribbons, frilly this and frilly that!!! Beautiful baby!!!!!
i feel yah bruh, its the saddest part will be happened that we cannot stop or control the situation so we must face the reality that everyone will go there too
SHE WAS BORN ON THE SIXTH!!!!!
AND SHE'S definitely beautiful!! So sweet. Cries only when she's hungry or muddy. She's a real princess!!!!
This song just popped in my ear upon remembering my brother who suddenly died two weeks ago…. He’s our rockstar, our own Kurt Cobain, our beloved brother decided to be with God who left us in tears
😲
Same here...... 💜🖤💜🖤
I'm sorry for his loss.
So sad to hear that.may you're heart will be filled with love of God

Every song Bread ever did was my youth. As a silly young girl, I always thought it was about a lost love. In a way, it is. I’m 62 now, and think about it differently. I have lost my brother and sister, my mommy, my father (who cares), all my aunts and uncles, grandparents, my only nephew, and so on, and so on. I was the youngest of my family, and really only have 1 cousin left, who is 76. As a 62 year old, it has other meanings. Of course, it could always be about the one who broke your heart, but at this stage, it’s all about family and home. People live their lives every day taking for granted what they have. You have it all, but it can be taken from you in an instant. It happened to me and probably many of you. My prayers and sympathies to all who have lost even one loved one. RIP mommy, and my whole family. Until we meet up again someday. Hopefully 🤞, not to soon 😳😵💫🥶😱💀😁. Hey I do have 4 grandkids. I hope I’m around to see them grow up. They are my heart ❤️! UA-cam friends, we shall all meet up in Heaven. Until then, may God Bless each and every one of you 🙏❤️🙏❤️!
Agreed, I'm 62 and right there with you.
I am pushing 40 and lost my dad a few years ago. I was never able to show him my path in life would lead to success. Then all but one of his siblings died, including my uncle who was the only guy in my family that supported my choices. I was never able to repay his kindness either. I remain at a dead end job as my widowed mother continues to cloister herself. My sibs are prepping to move away and marry their partners. I recently got quite sick and have progressive and permanent physical and mental decline. I just ended a 6 yr relationship after ending a 5 year relationship after a turbulent 1 year relationship. My best friend in life, who was the only one who understood me at my core and was my 2nd ex, told me to f off when i contacted her after years apart. My dog just lost an eye and has a huge tumor. I am in debt for more than im worth. My sports club, where i hoped to master and teach our indigenous sport, has all but cast me out, not believing i have developed a crippling disability. I dont know why im still around listening to melancholy songs and reading comments that make me feel worse.
We must forgive our parents- it's not good for them or you to hold anything against anybody- I know it's much easier said than done, but it's easily done by what is said & felt in the heart, whatever their disfunction may have been, they were only frail, faulted human beings like all of us - abusers were often abused themselves - not an excuse or pass for them, but a dose of understanding, & even if you don't understand, you can just enough to forgive & then you can let it go- * until we can fully embrace,Love & forgive every aspect of ourselves,especially the aspects we like the least,
we are unable to forgive others- to not forgive is a heavy chain around your own neck- that's all - peace be with you😊
@@jerald6023 You nailed it perfectly. It’s a hard thing to forgive (and sometimes we just don’t or won’t ) but when we finally let it go, it frees us of that cumbersome burden. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and he is there to help us through it. This is how your faith grows and helps you to be stronger for the next hardship in life. My grandmother would always say, “you can’t have a testimony without a test.” She’s right and the point being as we navigate through life, we have experiences that may help someone else that is going through a hard time. I’m the one who originally posted about the song and I must say, everyone who has posted in response has truly helped me and given me great comfort. Thank you all so much - you’ve all been such a blessing! Matthew 29: Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30: For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” 🙏❤️
@shellylister7006 Thank you, to share what I've been shown in hopes of helping is the intention of course & it's good to know it may have- 3 years ago I lost my Mom 17 days after my Father passed, its common for one to go soon after the other when together for so long- (62 years)- & my faith has grown & strengthened significantly since.
I Lost My Husband 4 yrs ago I Sing This Song Every Night Before I Go To Sleep I Miss Him So Much More Than Anyone Could Ever Imagine ❤❤
God bless you.
I heard this on the radio the very week my brother passed away a few yrs back. I was organising his funeral by myself and when i heard this song that particular week in the car, i just happened to listen to the words whilst driving and it reduced me to tears. The DJ then mentioned when the song had finished that it was written by David Gates for his Dads funeral. I changed one of the songs already chosen for my brothers funeral there and then knowing this was the right song to have. Can not listen to this song now without being all emotional. Beautiful, beautiful song.
Bread had some of the best songs! This one touches my heart and makes me think back to a time in my life that I miss so much and makes me miss someone that I really loved.
This song made me think of my son who passed away 2017. I would give everything I own to have him back I miss you so much Mic ❤
Hello Jenny
Hello 👋🏼 Jenny Vigar
So very sorry 🙏🙏
I feel your pain…..so very sorry for your loss, we lost our son too, next week it will be 18 yrs ago, he was 18, and so many songs bring me to tears like this one too….”I would be give anything I own, to have him back again” 💔💔💔🙏🏻
🙏
My dad passed away a day after my birthday, May 27th of this year and my mom had this song played at his funeral 😭 I'll forever miss him...
I feel you so 😢
The saddest part in life.
My dad passed away a day before my birthday 💔
Sept, 6th of this year.
😭😭😭😭😭
I read that this song was written after the death of the authors father.
Likewise
One of the saddest things that could happen to a person, hope you are doing well
Same here…after a month of my birthday my father passed away… 😢😢😢
While I was driving, this song on UA-cam started playing, and my ten-year-old child said to me, "I hope I never have to experience this." It made me reflect on my father and brother, who unfortunately passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. I cherish my child, and I hope to live for at least another 80 years to spend more time with him.
Definitely my parents! What I didn’t know then. So blessed. I’m so grateful I will see them again and for eternity! Thank you Jesus ❤

Sorry about your dad, am sure he was a good man?
This song came out when I was a teenager and loved it but in a romantic way, listening this same song now that I’m in my 60’s has a totally different meaning. I missed my parents so much, here I am crying my heart out.
Same here.
SAME
Bless your heart angel thinking of you love isis xxxxxx
EXACTLY. I hear this now and think about my dad.
Same here.
The breakdown starting at 1:09 is one of the most absolutely beautiful moments in music. Love it. Great stuff .
This reminds me of My Wildflower, my daughter. Idk where she is or if she's ok but I pray every day that wherever she is that God is watching over her. I don't blame her for leaving. She has always bn a Free Spirit & a Daughter of God. She has Always bn His!!

Heard this back when I was a kid. In the car, long ride, man does it hit home pretty hard. Thinking back then, my dad, must've thought of himself back when he was also just a kid. He is a great man. Man of a few words, my dad did everything he could to the best of his ability. I wish I could've done more for pops . As we each get busy with life sometimes we fail to notice that while u are aging, they too are as well. Now I'm 26 and clueless about lifeshts, but I pray to God that all through it all may He be with me. I pray to make it and give it back to my mum and pops. You never really know how it all will play out. So to us who're still trying to make it stop worrying and focus on your day to day hustles. Happy new year, may the odds be never against us. I'm proud of u for surving
He's singing this about his Dad! Never knew this until recently. I lost my Dad May 22' and I feel the very same way: miss him so very much . Love you Pops
G'day to you again Oh Guru of Sound, "It don't matter to me!" "Everything I own!" and "Diary!" meant a lot to me at the time they came out, I was going through some bad times, thanks once again for the Flash Backs Brother, this time next week I will be 74

Hello 👋🏼 Alyssa Hill
Wow, your comment has really hit home for me, I also had an Uncle Dave that passed away at about the same time and Bread was also his favourite band, I can’t listen to this song without thinking of him
This was my dad's fav group. He has passed away 12 years ago. Everytime I hear Bread or David Gates, it brings back memories of our family being whole again. Thank you for uploading this.
This is one of my father's favorite song of Bread. 💗 I listen to this when I miss him. It's been a year since he left us.
Every sorry about your dad, hope he's in heaven. What are yours type of song
I'm a music lover.. Back when life is so very simple.. Thanks to the uploader👍
Very beautiful song... So touching and even could drop our tears when listening in the middle of the night.. So wonderful song. I cherished it all the time..

Lost my 5 days old niece due to heart problem last April 27. This song says everything I want to tell her. I never knew that this song will have this strong impact in my life now. To my Alessia Gi, wherever you are now... I would've given up everything for you. I'D GIVE UP MY LIFE ... MY HEART FOR YOU love, just to touch you once again :(
This song shatters me…. I miss my precious husband so much. He died last Christmas of cancer. He was my perfect partner for over 20 years, I will never be the same. I keep thinking this will get easier but so far not so much. Please tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, before it’s too late. I was lucky enough to be holding my sweethearts hand when he passed. But my heart cries every day without him. I took my beautiful sweetheart for granted, then he was gone
"Death must be so beautiful. to lie in the soft brown earth with the grass waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace for love is always with you and love is stronger than death..." That is not the correct quotation but I hope these words comfort you as they do me.
How well I understand your anguish . My beloved husband passed away last summer, and like you and your husband, mine passed as we held hands. I thank God everyday for 35 wonderful years with him. I cry ever day and cry myself to sleep every night. So far, it has not gotten easier for me either, but hope that someday it will. I will keep you in my prayers! God bless you. 🙏🙏❤️

You have a kindred soul, my beautiful wife was taken 3 months ago and I’m a broken man
@@CarolyneRoberts my deepest condolences my friend, but please know that I do not speak lightly, but I speak from the same experience. My heart hurts for you. The pain is not something I would wish on my worst enemy… Oh if my sweet husband knew how pathetic I have been, he would be so mad at me 🫣😢 But ultimately I know that I will never be the same. He was the light of my life
Had always heard the song throughout my life but had really only heard the chorus. I'm 35 and was living and taking care of my mom when she passed in February of this year due to a doctor botching her surgery. Did some digging for music to cry everything and saw this listed and wondered why a love song was posted. Then I put it on with the lyrics and fell apart. I wasn't a very good caretaker or friend before everything happened so it really resonates.
I remember my dad telling me a story. I came across this song today on tik tok. I’m I’m my early 30s now. Thank you for the song dad. You were here today ❤️❤️❤️

I have to be honest, I never heard of this song or the group. I know, sorry. I was rewatching an old, very season of Sister Wives and they talked about this song. How Cody used to sing this song to Meri and sang it to her on their Wedding Day. So, of course I went searching on UA-cam to hear the song and love it. So Beautiful and put it on my TikTok with my Cat. My TT is all about my Cat. Thank you for having the song on here.

I wonder if David Gray had any idea how many tears would be shed, by so many people, listening to this song? I can barely listen to it, much less play and sing it, without breaking. I want to for the lady I love, who I'm scared to death of losing, but wonder if I'd make it all the way through. Thank you, David, for a song so beautiful and moving beyond words.
I haven’t heard this in years since I was a kid, now I know what it really means I’m crying my eyes out.
What dose the song means to you

This song needs to be heard more!
I love the vibe with this music and sunset while walking.
I woke up this morning with this song in my head and cried. I miss my Mother.
I'd give everything to have her back. ❤ ❤ 😔
Every time I hear this song I always cry remembering the loss of my parents
Me too. My condolences.
I've lost everyone in my life. My parents both from COVID, older brother to a car wreck, someone supposed to be my fiance' to drugs, and my little brother to an OD( he was on heroin but someone sold him fentanyl) This Sunday morning (December 1, 2024) marks one year since I found him on my patio not breathing. I truly would give everything I own to have him back again 😢😢❤
I am so sorry. Damn.

When our father passed away on August 20, 2021 my heart was crushed. So whenever I remember the good things my father did to me I just listen to this song. This song really made me cry 😭
ua-cam.com/video/5HgblrQw8sY/v-deo.html
So sorry for your loss.
I read the comments. Many about parents who have died. It really stirred me. Mine are alive. But, it was long ago, a few decades that they were kind, sweet, supportive. I am the youngest, and somewhere back there they became different people. Narcissists, cruel, dangerous. I miss the hope and joy of life when they were normal humans. Spent 17 years w brain trauma as an adult due to their neglect. Healed now. Survived. I'm normal, healthy, beautiful. But this song and the comments really touched me deep-- I once had something I would deeply miss about my parents. Not in the past 30 years, but at one time, Iong ago, I had that. I can be thankful, not for what I didnt get but for what I did get. God bless you all.
I miss the good old days so much.....
I lost my beautiful mother at 17. I dedicate this song every year on her birthday. 😢
I lost my father last September, he really likes Bread and specially this song. Rest in peace dad, we will see each other again at the end.
I like bread when i wake up i eat bread and coffee condolences..
Hello Jean
This was one of my dad's favorite songs I always heard growing up. Never paid attention to the lyrics until now that he just recently passed. No other song can express how I feel the way this does. Love you Daddy. Rest in peace.

Still listen in 2024..
My mother passed in November and to this day I have a permanent lump in my throat, i will never get over her death, we never had anything growing up and this pained my mother to tears, her clamoring to make ends meet left me in full admiration of his perseverance and grit, a woman of the highest caliber who never gave up once, I stand in honor of her every second of my life, I will see her again or this whole mess is for nothing. Thank-you mum for your life.
This song hits me so hard.😢 I miss my mother...
My parents come to mind. Thanks Glamour Music!
Linda canção ,fez parte da adolescência , muitos bailinhos agarradinho que delícia , tempo maravilhoso
I bought Breads Greatest hits in the 80s, the best album I have ever bought!
As a kid I liked this song but never really understood it...now as an adult it really hits home after losing my wife 3 years ago to cancer at only 50 years old. 😥💔
😢 really sorry about your wife, do you have kids ?
It makes me think of my mom❤️
This song brings memories of my grandson who passed away 3 years ago...miss you so much Adam x 💔
Hello Wendy
Hello 👋🏼 Wendy Butt
Oh yes, I thought I was hearing from Jesus. I ve lost everything
I'm 71, I live in a shelter. I wondered why God let me lose everything
I only had some last precious things in a friend's garage. She would not give them to me. God could have stopped that but he didn't. Afyer hearing this song, I thought that he knew that I won't need those things because. I would give up, my life. My heart my soul. Just to be with him. I ve always gotten messages thru songs
I believe God answered my question. By did you let everything get taken from me. I cried because I really want to be with JESUS.
I’ve come here after I was on a ride with my Mimi. This song suddenly came on the radio and she sang along to it with all her heart. I love her so much and I will miss her when she’s gone
I change the first lyrics to, "I sheltered you from harm. Kept you warm, kept you warm..." and sing this to my only son that died.
He gave my life to me after I gave birth to him because he gave me a new life that set me free from the old life.
He taught me how to love the first time I held him.
He taught and showed me so much during the years he was here and I would give anything I own just to have him back again.
Just to hold him once again. 💛

Won't forget this song❤
Yes
He actually wrote this song about his Dad and as a remembrance to his Dad after he passed away. A great song. ❤
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What it's of, what it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
Your loving them so
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
Five months ago, I lost my dear and beloved mama to cancer. I thought it would be easy these past few months as time passed. I was wrong. This song was recommended to me by UA-cam after listening to Anne Murray's "You Needed Me." Every time I hear this song, I can't help but reminisce about all the good memories my mama and I had. Among her four children, I was the luckiest to have spent more than two decades with her until she hugged me for the last time and said goodbye.
The pain in my heart for my little girl Molly that was with me for 18 years as my soul companion , just a little cross breed dog that gave me so much love and comfort through my darkest days , this song is just the truth of my thoughts and hopefully soon I will be with her again never to be parted in all eternity
Listening to this for my best little boy El Jefe, my only baby who died eight weeks ago. They have been the loneliest and hardest weeks of my life. We only had him for a short five years, but he brought so much light and joy and love to every day. He was there for everything, no matter what mood I was in or how much I was struggling, to listen without judgement, care without limits, and just hold space with me in this dark world. He was my best friend and the most perfect companion. I'd give anything to have his pure spirit, energy, and beauty back in our lives.
I feel your pain! Lost my dog Noah (Jack Russell mix breed) December 10-2022 and this song breaks my heart cause I would give everything just to have him back again!!! 😢Best song Bread and writer David! In heaven playing for my boy Noah!!!!
@@jeanniestanford2565 oh god please take me to my baby girl Molly each day I pray for you to take me but you don't hear my prayers
For me, this saddest of songs says it all, really. I lost my darling Mammy six weeks ago. She had just turned 100 years old, but was very unwell. She was everything to me - my best friend, my confidante, my counsellor, my safety net... the list would be endless She exuded warmth, forgiveness and kindness. I was so lucky and so blessed to have her for 77 years, although that makes it so much harder to say goodbye. All I want now is to join her as soon as the Big Fella can manage it.
I love you more than ever and will never stop missing you, my treasure. Thank you for having me, and for giving me a lovely life filled with warmth, goodness and happiness. Nighty-night until we meet again, Mammy.
I've heard this song sooo many times, and now it hits hard for the very 1st time since my mums gone
My husband of 38 years died last week. This song says it all. 😓😓
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost mine February 2024 after 32 years. Everything I am has changed and will never be the same, including my brain chemistry. A struggle to keep moving forward, but I move forward with him in my heart.
I grew up with this amazing love song. It's the great back in the days music ❤❤
