I love this Glen Campbell rendition however some days when I listen to it, my eyes can't help but fill with tears as I realise how much of my life I have wasted. People say you regret what you don't do, rather than what you do. And in my case at 64 the heartful regret I feel of not having any kids is never more apparent especially when surrounded by my family and friends when it's obvious their children bring them so much joy, pleasure and pride.
hi brian, many of us who share your situation feel the same as you. but remember not everyone is meant or needs to have children in a world already far overpopulated. and you likely have done other things in life that would not have been possible with children and family obligations. and perhaps those things gave goodness to others that made their lives better, just as much as the offspring you would have had. so it isn't simply whether or not you have had kids, but how you lived your life. best to you.
I'm glad I never had kid. I never regret it and I'm almost 60's. Never would have been able to save so many doggies and kitties. There's a purpose in everything.
Me... this song speaks directly to our hearts and awakens many feelings that we thought were lost, forgotten ... it leaves me touched, nostalgic, with a tight heart.
In my opinion, the message of this song can be appreciated most when you are on the sunset of your life, that all you have to do is reminisce the past especially during the time when your life is at its peak.
i know i have at least 5 or 6 months to live. This songs makes me reflect on so many thing. Now that I am at the end of my road. I wish i would have stopped and think of what was life about.
I turned 60 yesterday and after hearing about Glenn Campbell passing, I listen to this song and it means so much now. Time goes so fast plans are planned but never happen. Cherish the time you have, cherish the family life you have, cherish your friends. Time waits for no one.
A beautiful French song that Glenn found so appealing as i did and happy that English lyrics were finally available for it and Glenn recorded it; one of his best songs I think.
I'm almost 40 and this song makes me think about my 20s. Lost, no care about anything outside of my self serving needs, and with no ultimate direction.
this song speaks directly to our hearts and awakens many feelings that we thought were lost, forgotten ... it leaves me touched, nostalgic, with a tight heart.
I get teary eyed whenever I hear this song. The message cuts deep into the heart. Even though I cannot say I had a nice and colorful youth, so there is nothing much to remember and nothing much to regret. However I still wish I had enjoyed it like the many fortunate ones. The only comfort I get today is when I see my son enjoying the things I never had yesterday...when I was young.
i came here and listening this song non stop, this song is favorite of my father when he’s still alive. i’m here crying silently. cause on aug 10 it’s his 2 years death anniversary. i miss you papa
Oh no my friend this IS NOT country music. In fact, the lyrics, the music, and the song were all written by a French singer named Charles Aznavour. This is an almost exact translation of that song Hier Encore.
In the French original the first words are Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans, translated as "Yesterday (the "encore" adding a figurative meaning to the word yesterday), when I was 20." I believe French-Armenian singer Charles Azvanour wrote it when he was all of 23! He has sung it in over 20 languages and still performs it as of 2016 - he is in his 90s. Campbell does a great job.
I cried in my forties as I listened to this and it hurt so much that I could not listen to it again until today. I am sixty two and it hurts even more.. Goodby Glen. Rest in peace sir.
Remember. At 62 your still a boy. Love each day as an adventure. Push yourself to do things that kinda scare you. You’ll be so glad you did. Live each day like a gift in time. Contact your old friends. Love your family.
I'm 76. Six times grandfather. I like the song, but my life is going on beautifully! My children and grandchildren are wonderful. I will marry a second time and going on a world trip ! I'm sane and sportive. I worked as a management consulmconsultant and i loved the job! I did sports and yoga all my life. ❤❤❤❤
What a great man and singer songwriter with unlimited talent who entertained the world 🌎 I'm so very very greatful that i had a childhood with my beautiful mother and father who played his music all through my childhood. And i met his young daughter playing in concert with jimmy webb at the Birmingham Town Hall last year? It was very very emotional as i was in a coma for 9and a half weeks and 7months in a hospital bed and now in a wheelchair 😭 and my beautiful best forever friend tom was supposed to have been there too as i purchased tom a ticket for his 65th birthday but we boh developed chronic covid pneumonia and multiple organ failure and hypoxia and sepsis and heart attacks through the medications 💊 that the medics had to give us whilst we were in our comas. But unfortunately tom didn't make it he had to have his ventilator turned of as he had no brain activity due to hypoxia and multiple organ failure. I awoke 9 and a half weeks later only to find that he passed away 3beds away from me whilst I was in my coma. So when i was at the show jimmy came back on stage to do one last song and i broke down crying 😢 as it was the song tom truly truly loved Glenn cambell singing and all through the show i was dreading he wouldn't sing it and then the very very last song when he came back on stage was the one? The moon's a harsh mistress! This totally broke me into tears as i looked up from my wheelchair ♿️ and said quietly? This is for you tom rip 🙏 and nowadays I'm so very very lonely and lost and broken 💔 and honestly with this awful ptsd and illnesses I'm struggling with I'm a shadowman 👤 and numb 😔 anyway RIP TOM AND THANKYOU FOR 21AND A HALF YEARS OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND FOR ALWAYS SMILING FOR ME WHEN I COULDN'T AFTER LOSING MY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL SWEET ANGEL 😇 MOTHER. AND THANKYOU AGAIN GLENN FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT I STILL HOLD IN MY SOUL RIP 🙏 FROM A SHADOWMAN 👤🎤🎸🎹🥁🇬🇧🙏
Once you turn 60 you start looking at life differently. Your kids have grown up to be productive citizens. They have given you beautiful grandkids who themselves will be productive citizens. Mom and dad thank you for the guudance you provided yiur kids. Your loved and your missed ❤️🙏
Life comes and go and each of us leaved our foot print in the sand of times. Every good songs like this one always thrive and survived the test of time. A part of people's destiny, and at the same time to remind us what Life is all about...
Yes but the winds of time , blow away the prints .Unless you are famous , Shakespeare , Kennedy , The Beatles and so many others , you will be forgotten .
Never heard this before but it highlights my past, of 67 years. They went in the click of a finger and all I have is memories. How can all that anguish, pain and laughter be reduced into a life time of no time? I was young yesterday but not today - and there ain't to much tomorrow.
Makes you ealise that all the dramas and things that seemed to matter really didn't, they were gone and just memories. If only we could learn this when young.
Never despair, Mel! You may have 30 years or more left to live! Betty White and Prince Philip are both 97 now, and many people are living well into their 90s today, and even longer. It's very nice to have memories, but you can still keep making them!(Senator James McCain passed away recently, unfortunately of brain cancer, but his mother is 107 years old and looks to be in good health!)
im in stage 4 kidney failure. I look back at my life my children are all in there late 20s now. it went by so fast. I worked a hard job long hours in a chemical factory when my kids were young. I got heavy metal poisoning from that chemical factory. they went bankrupt after i left. I grew up in the 70s and this music was what i learned to play the guitar on.. what a talent Glen Campbell was. Roy Clark also did a great job with this song. Life is so short. I only have weeks to live they tell me...I love so many and live everyday fully. With Christ in my life I still have hope...amen
If this message reaches you in heaven, just wanted to let u know that the end of life is the the beginning of another wonderful chapter. Hope u live life and the afterlife to the the fullest!!!
Beta Thinker Sending you love ❤️ and prayer 🙏for a peaceful, joyful journey to our Maker! Do remember to pray for us here on earth fighting against this pandemic - covid_19!
He is the only Singer that could render this kind of melody and no one else in my opinion . Some could do trying it but the uniqueness of how he sung it, is no one could equal .
I'm 68 now and used to be a singer! I know full well the meaning of this song! Jesus is the way and the true meaning to life! He's waiting to hear from you!
Kerry Veach Amen! You are absolutely correct Sir. Very true. Jesus Christ is the Truth the life, and the way. And no one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ! Our Lord and Savior. AMEN!
Great song. Married once, divorced, no kids, mid-60's. Life is a mixed bag no matter what, always something to regret if we go there. "Woulda, shoulda, coulda" just doesn't seem healthy to me. Both my sisters (older than me) are in terrible marriages and their families are a wreck. It's a different journey for each of us, pro's and con's no matter the direction. I've been blessed with great experiences and great friends, and believe if we focus on contributing to the lives of others and being there when it counts the most, we'll be okay.
Yesterday when I was young There were so many songs that waiting to be sung So many wild pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see There are so many songs in me that won't be sung Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
Beautifully sung as only Glen Campbell could !! Glen never forgot his roots country til the end!! God bless & keep you !! R.I.P... This was such an underrated song why?? I love it!! I hope it hits home with alot of fans... You're missing out!!
I'm just 17 years old but this song captures my cloud of emotions, to the point I get teary. Miss my childhood, times when my family is still together, until we fell apart and after many years changes happened. But somehow I learned to live with all of what happened. Blessings still come on my way. I thank Lord for that.
I really like the song though I have some guilt feelings for the things I should have when I was young. At 75 I just try to reminisce the good old days of yesteryears.
I can listen to this song hundreds of time without fail as if I were about to leave this life. Emptiness and regret are feelings we try to avoid, yet, they are there waiting as we keep on dragging our life to the confusing direction. Is it true that it's something we have to pay for yesterday?
The old saying "youth is wasted on the young" - imagine if we had our youth and energy it with the wisdom we gain later? I think I'd play even harder, and worry less, knowing time is so very, very short.
Yes sad song reminiscing back in '73 from vinyl,8 tracks, cassettes,cds,mp3 and now cell .....am listening to this on my headphone on my morning walks🌞and helps me get thru this crazy times(2020)..............thank you for the music❤
My dad used to sing this to me when I was little, I had no understanding of what he was singing or what it meant, but until recently I found myself at school humming it, I typed up the lyrics I knew and now I understand. Thanks Dad!
I started humming this song today “for whatever reason” hadn’t thought of it for decades. Looked it up and listened to my life. It was beautiful. Thank you Mr. Campbell. RIP ♥️
I forgot about this beautifully haunting song. At 57 years old, it affects me so differently than when I was a child watching Glen Campbell singing it.
These are the songs written by life and pain and the soulful people who could make you feel it all when singing something we will have never seen again in the last 30 years.
I am 67 now and most of the words sung here, in this song, are true and to the point. I wish I could be young once more but have no regrets on the life lived as the years went by so fast that I am a grandad now, for four wonderful Kids.
R.I.P. Glenn but the melodies of your songs will continue to vibrate in my ears and their verses will remain implanted in my heart. I like all the songs you'd left for us. I'm 71 now but anyone still listening with me on June 14, 2019?
I'm sure we all have regrets from our past, but regrets are a waste of Time. We have a wonderful thing.... TODAY! the Bible says Today is the the day the Lord has made, Rejoice and be Glad in it. It took me too much Time to realize this. We only pay for our regrets if we if we make ourselves do it.
Glen Campbell was such a great singer and musician, and he makes this song sound even more poignant and beautiful than I thought possible. It reminds me that Glen is gone as is the past.
Another great song by Glen.That song could have written for, about him. Sad how old age catch,s up with everyone.Most of his songs remind me of a part of my life. He is awesome
Such an amazing song with so deep a meaning. One sure thing, each person will be the only one left on the stage to end the play some day. RIP Glen Campbell.
Life is too short to be wasted. We shouldn't make room for regrets. Smile as often as we can, Laugh more-DO GOOD.. Someday we will just a memory for some people. We'll do our best to be good one.
@@kathymitchell545 well I have great kids even though early on it was a struggle when there dad cleared off,I had cancer at that time, always worked hard worked until I was 75 still working in a charity shop as a volunteer,loving it.So I am lucky I have good health ,remarried at one stage what a crap marriage that was, now a very happy widow lol
Glen Campbell a master of his craft, singer guitarist extraordinaire. His beautiful rendition of such a haunting song is touching and and quite exquisite in equal measure. RIP Glen you are sadly missed.
Really nice song, so soulful. It rlly means so mch to me. Time goes so fast. Yesterday, is to rem our memories be bad or good. No regrets to say. Although there was a heartache n pain. It stl considered. I wl rem it, caused me to hav children n bcame fmily evn we do nt end up together.
This song is so emotional and inspirational at the same time which brings the best in you. I'm only 33, but it always takes 1 or 2 tears from me. It's a wonderful song and you can feel its power by just listening to it. This song makes me think of the ones that lived their lifes and got older, and the ones that never made it so far. Remember to always be nice and humble towards the older people.
I love this Glen Campbell rendition however some days when I listen to it, my eyes can't help but fill with tears as I realise how much of my life I have wasted. People say you regret what you don't do, rather than what you do. And in my case at 64 the heartful regret I feel of not having any kids is never more apparent especially when surrounded by my family and friends when it's obvious their children bring them so much joy, pleasure and pride.
Beautifully said about your personal life ..I actually felt your heart . 🥰
Specially when you have grand children. You will know how much you love your children and how much more you love your grand kids.
hi brian, many of us who share your situation feel the same as you. but remember not everyone is meant or needs to have children in a world already far overpopulated. and you likely have done other things in life that would not have been possible with children and family obligations. and perhaps those things gave goodness to others that made their lives better, just as much as the offspring you would have had. so it isn't simply whether or not you have had kids, but how you lived your life. best to you.
I'm glad I never had kid. I never regret it and I'm almost 60's. Never would have been able to save so many doggies and kitties.
There's a purpose in everything.
❤️
My mom use to sing this. Today is her birthday and I woke up with it in my head...
I love you eternally mommy..
RIP Roslyn Serota 🙏😢
You'L be with her..in eternity . 😊
All of us in our late 70's or older think of this song a lot. Great job and great meaning.
Thank you Glen..So underappreciated.
For anyone looking back upon their life, this is the one. Full of bitter-sweet memory and mixed emotions. What a song!
Anyone else listening to this and crying?
On the inside .
Yes!
Me...
this song speaks directly to our hearts and awakens many feelings that we thought were lost, forgotten ... it leaves me touched, nostalgic, with a tight heart.
In my opinion, the message of this song can be appreciated most when you are on the sunset of your life, that all you have to do is reminisce the past especially during the time when your life is at its peak.
I tell young 1's if it getting 2 hard. Listen 2 this so u can make changes
i know i have at least 5 or 6 months to live. This songs makes me reflect on so many thing. Now that I am at the end of my road. I wish i would have stopped and think of what was life about.
God bless you!
Yes. But no regrets. Accept and embrace what we have and enjoy life with our loved ones
@@ar1340 Are you still here? I hope you're doing okay.
I turned 60 yesterday and after hearing about Glenn Campbell passing, I listen to this song and it means so much now. Time goes so fast plans are planned but never happen. Cherish the time you have, cherish the family life you have, cherish your friends. Time waits for no one.
Life is what happens , when you are , making other plans.
I. Want this. For a eulogy
Yup absolutely too fast many plans never happen and before you know it's too late years have passed you buy and you cry and wonder why 🤔😪😔
God bless you always 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So true yesterday gone like blink of an eye cherish every moment of everyday
Always putting GOD FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE 🙏🙏🙏❤👍
A beautiful French song that Glenn found so appealing as i did and happy that English lyrics were finally available for it and Glenn recorded it; one of his best songs I think.
Love this song. I'm now 67 but hey do you know tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. Enjoy.... u too.
Glen Campbell really has nailed this song. He sings it beautifully, yet you rarely hear it being played. What a shame.
By far the best version of this song. He sings it with real grit and gravitas. You can almost picture him at the bar drinking whiskey chasers!
Better performance than Roy Clark's
I agree with your shared opinion....
Agree 100%
There's new cover of this song now
I'm almost 40 and this song makes me think about my 20s. Lost, no care about anything outside of my self serving needs, and with no ultimate direction.
Welcome to the "I'm having a Midlife Crisis and listening to Grandpa's Music" club. I'm a member too. Haha. Best wishes.
@@thehartofthegalexi8433 I'm midlife... 😳🙁😩
Oh there are so many of us feeling this song and how it’s dredging up so many regrets!! 😢
we cant stop playing this i am 85
this song speaks directly to our hearts and awakens many feelings that we thought were lost, forgotten ... it leaves me touched, nostalgic, with a tight heart.
We are learning in life Erica...Unburden your tightness in your heart...Godbless You 🙏
You are right Erica, Very touching,,, those memories of yesteryears Happy or Sad 😔 😊
I’m in my sixties and I heard this song when I was in my teens

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@@paulmurray3322
Wow! the song, it reminds me of my younger life, I'm 63 years now, how fast the years go by.
I get teary eyed whenever I hear this song. The message cuts deep into the heart. Even though I cannot say I had a nice and colorful youth, so there is nothing much to remember and nothing much to regret. However I still wish I had enjoyed it like the many fortunate ones. The only comfort I get today is when I see my son enjoying the things I never had yesterday...when I was young.
The best rendition of this beautiful song...you can feel the pain of regret in Glen's voice.
Very true.
Glen ,including many of us have dealt with pain and regret. Can't put an old head on young shoulders,it is the circle of life .
Hard to believe the moment you are living in now will soon be a memory.
i came here and listening this song non stop, this song is favorite of my father when he’s still alive. i’m here crying silently. cause on aug 10 it’s his 2 years death anniversary. i miss you papa
This is pure poetry! A lost art form in today's so called "country music". Beautiful song!
Oh no my friend this IS NOT country music. In fact, the lyrics, the music, and the song were all written by a French singer named Charles Aznavour. This is an almost exact translation of that song Hier Encore.
who the fuck cares ya writing a book
The translation is close in terms of sentiment but not even close to an exact translation of the French original.
In the French original the first words are Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans, translated as "Yesterday (the "encore" adding a figurative meaning to the word yesterday), when I was 20." I believe French-Armenian singer Charles Azvanour wrote it when he was all of 23! He has sung it in over 20 languages and still performs it as of 2016 - he is in his 90s. Campbell does a great job.

Glen sings it the best. Excellent lyrics!
Remember. At 62 your still a boy. Love each day as an adventure. Push yourself to do things that kinda scare you. You’ll be so glad you did. Live each day like a gift in time. Contact your old friends. Love your family.
I'm 76. Six times grandfather.
I like the song, but my life is going on beautifully!
My children and grandchildren are wonderful. I will marry a second time and going on a world trip ! I'm sane and sportive.

Hang on and good for you, I am 79 and not so lucky.
i love the voice of the singer.
A song I used to listen so many many years back . . . I'm 63 years old.

"Yesterday," tomorrow and always, Glen Campbell in his musical performances will stay forever young.
R.I.P. Glenn; people like you don't die. you will be here long after all of us have gone.
I cry all the time everytime I listen to this song..from glen..it's so real..
It's never too late to love in the mercy of Jesus.
God Bless you Mr Campbell

Fabulous song...Listened to all the different versions & in my opinion this is definitely the best...
Whatever u r age is health is most important ! If u r 60 and healthy better than a 20y and sick
Great song from the past
From Childhood To Old
My eyes are full of tears whenever i hear this song🥺
the cigarette and the whiskey glass...........soo many memories !!....
This song reminds me of my early childhood..
When good wisdom has been shunned by the young, life ends up tossing you about, and regrets become strong when sunset comes.
Song for every young man at his peak in life. Making good use of our precious time in life
What a very moving finely sung song by a great artist,at 65 the messages are very meaningful
im in stage 4 kidney failure. I look back at my life my children are all in there late 20s now. it went by so fast. I worked a hard job long hours in a chemical factory when my kids were young. I got heavy metal poisoning from that chemical factory. they went bankrupt after i left. I grew up in the 70s and this music was what i learned to play the guitar on.. what a talent Glen Campbell was. Roy Clark also did a great job with this song. Life is so short. I only have weeks to live they tell me...I love so many and live everyday fully. With Christ in my life I still have hope...amen

Great song. Married once, divorced, no kids, mid-60's. Life is a mixed bag no matter what, always something to regret if we go there. "Woulda, shoulda, coulda" just doesn't seem healthy to me.

Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
Beautifully sung as only Glen Campbell could !! Glen never forgot his roots country til the end!! God bless & keep you !! R.I.P...
This was such an underrated song why?? I love it!! I hope it hits home with alot of fans... You're missing out!!
The great Glen Campbell. Beautiful song. Makes you appreciate the life we get to live.
I'm just 17 years old but this song captures my cloud of emotions, to the point I get teary. Miss my childhood, times when my family is still together, until we fell apart and after many years changes happened. But somehow I learned to live with all of what happened. Blessings still come on my way. I thank Lord for that.
Hang in there do not give up and do not fall into any traps of temptation .
I really like the song though I have some guilt feelings for the things I should have when I was young. At 75 I just try to reminisce the good old days of yesteryears.
Thank you Glen Campbell for such a meaningful song ! Rest in Peace - gone but not forgotten

This song completely described my life... I can't stop crying when I hear this song always...
By the way his voice is so awesome...

I started humming this song today “for whatever reason” hadn’t thought of it for decades. Looked it up and listened to my life. It was beautiful. Thank you Mr. Campbell. RIP ♥️
Love this i can relate and it touced my heart ❤
feeling it, now 80❤
I forgot about this beautifully haunting song. At 57 years old, it affects me so differently than when I was a child watching Glen Campbell singing it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ me and hubby's fav.and memorable song

Glen Campbell is a great singer and songwriter. Thank-you for all of your great songs. Marcy Cano
Thank you for your comment. Its still a very great song. Thank you once again in letting me know who is the real person that wrote this song.
your welcome marcy
your welcome, thought that was me almost died in may of 2016 god wasnt ready for me
Sorry but Glen did not write this song. A Franc man Charles Asanavour .wroth this song.//
What a heart-breaking song of regretting something in the past which can't be turned back. Now I entrust everything to God.
These are the songs written by life and pain and the soulful people who could make you feel it all when singing something we will have never seen again in the last 30 years.
I am 67 now and most of the words sung here, in this song, are true and to the point. I wish I could be young once more but have no regrets on the life lived as the years went by so fast that I am a grandad now, for four wonderful Kids.
Life was great when I was young. Then I spend the next 50 years working and it flew by pretty fast.
R.I.P. Glenn but the melodies of your songs will continue to vibrate in my ears and their verses will remain implanted in my heart. I like all the songs you'd left for us. I'm 71 now but anyone still listening with me on June 14, 2019?
RIP Glen.. Thanks for the awesome memories..You were a class act.. Love and peace be with you.
Found this song had it played at my father's funeral who died at 100 Glen was his favourite didn't know it can't get it out of my head now
No words wasted here...every bit true and sung with great pain and emotion that only...only Glen Campbell can convey!
Rick Rodrigues I love him. So sad that he's for his diagnosis. He will never be forgotten.
True...very true, never to be forgotten...
I'm sure we all have regrets from our past, but regrets are a waste of Time. We have a wonderful thing.... TODAY! the Bible says Today is the the day the Lord has made, Rejoice and be Glad in it. It took me too much Time to realize this. We only pay for our regrets if we if we make ourselves do it.
Glen Campbell was such a great singer and musician, and he makes this song sound even more poignant and beautiful than I thought possible. It reminds me that Glen is gone as is the past.
Another great song by Glen.That song could have written for, about him. Sad how old age catch,s up with everyone.Most of his songs remind me of a part of my life. He is awesome
Oh Boy - every word so true...none wasted! Best version I ever heard. Glen Campbell's voice so perfect for this song.
Remembering my late nanay susing . One of her fav song rest in peace nay.
Such an amazing song with so deep a meaning. One sure thing, each person will be the only one left on the stage to end the play some day. RIP Glen Campbell.
Yes
I came across this song as i sit beside my 91 year old Daddy's hospice bed as he passes on. I know its not the end though but i will miss him so.
A classic song and a fabulous rendition. It definitely touches your emotions.
Life is too short to be wasted. We shouldn't make room for regrets. Smile as often as we can, Laugh more-DO GOOD.. Someday we will just a memory for some people. We'll do our best to be good one.
Oh so true when I look back on my life I am now 81 wished I had done more with my life
Like what? I bet you !iced a pretty good life anyway!
@@kathymitchell545 well I have great kids even though early on it was a struggle when there dad cleared off,I had cancer at that time, always worked hard worked until I was 75 still working in a charity shop as a volunteer,loving it.So I am lucky I have good health ,remarried at one stage what a crap marriage that was, now a very happy widow lol
One of the greatest songs ever written. ... WTF happened to Music??? Why was it taken away from Us?
How poignant! A painfully beautiful song about the folly of youth and the bitterness it can bring. I love the way Glen Campbell renders it. Thank you.
I missed how my beautiful granny sang this song to me, now she's forever gone I missed her so badly to the point I break down and cry the whole night
Glen Campbell a master of his craft, singer guitarist extraordinaire. His beautiful rendition of such a haunting song is touching and and quite exquisite in equal measure. RIP Glen you are sadly missed.

Time flies so fast.. This song is very meaningful. The youth of today must hear this song so they would be guided..
this song reminds me in my early days ! how nice ,when you are in the sunset of your life . thanks to the singer
I wish that i could turn the clock back 30 years for him, as he has brought so much joy to so many people. this song is so apt for him now.
beats the hell out of roy clark
dusty Springfield covered this too
No Roy's is the best! I like Glen too!
James Cox is not the same
What a nice song and so true ❤❤❤
I have heard this song so many times and still get choked up with memories.
+Tim Miller me too
Yo tambien.
Paul Rizo yo Simone
I feel the same way!!
I do that with every Glen Campbell song Tim. No one can move you the way he could. It was almost as if he were speaking to your heart.
This song is so emotional and inspirational at the same time which brings the best in you. I'm only 33, but it always takes 1 or 2 tears from me. It's a wonderful song and you can feel its power by just listening to it. This song makes me think of the ones that lived their lifes and got older, and the ones that never made it so far. Remember to always be nice and humble towards the older people.
So meaningful song.. I will always love this song.. Thanks for sharing
I love my grandpa 🥰😭♥️
