I couldn't help but cry as I listened to this song! My 17-year-old leaves in a year. I have terminal cancer, and the two years he's gone will probably be during the time that I pass away. Two years for him will be the rest of my life for me.
+Kathy H I'm soooo sorry! Oh that makes me so sad. My step dad passed of cancer, so I can relate. Stay strong for him, and know that Heavenly Father has a plan for you. I love you, and I hope you see this soon. My brother is 17 and he turns 18 next month and he's going on his mission at the end of this year. Him and I are so close, and we've been inseperable throughout the rough life we had to live, ever since I can remember. Stay strong!
But only for a time until you meet again as remember families are forever. Sending you love and prayers of healing and comfort.... You are beautiful !!
Thank you for sharing
Kathy, I would liketo know how are you, you're an example of LIVING the Gospel! He left to go and share with the people that there is not limits for love! And that's the truth! You will meet again!
Love, Mariana :)
I too would like an update
I remember this song from when I was a teenager 💜 Now my baby brother leaves on his mission tomorrow and this song came to mind. I’m not a member of the church anymore but wow is this a powerful song. I wish him nothing but the best as he serves the people of NYC. Two years without him will be super hard, but I hope he has a good experience and comes back having learned a lot about himself and about the world. Beautiful song!
I've been married to my missionary for over 6 years now, but this song helped get me through back then, and it still gets me emotional to this day. Thank you!
My boyfriend left on a mission 5 months ago. Now I'm going on a mission in two weeks. I pretty much listen to this song every day. Showed it to my family for FHE. Sobbed through the whole thing.
I got to hear Sister Barlow sing this song live last night at a mission farewell party. Wow! What an amazingly talented young woman!
nothing is harder for a parent than having to let their child out of their embrace but listening to this song reminds us that maybe letting them go will allow them to return as stronger members with an unwavering love for the lord.
He gets set apart tomorrow as leaves on Wednesday. This is the song I have been bawling my eyes out to. Plus his mom made a slide show of us using this song and played it at his open house. I am so proud of the man I have, but I am going to miss him more than anything these next two years.
Remember the first time I heard this masterpiece I was in a car with other elders in my district driving back from a long day of work and one of the elders played this and everyone kinda just sat there missing home but it was such a great moment to share with them and just remember that we were absolutely doing the best thing we could ever be doing.
Thanks so much for sharing that!
My Bestfriend is serving in South Africa, he's doing the right thing but I really miss him. This song just makes me cry all the time, I remember the happy memories whilst I listen :)
Thankyou for this song, its beautiful!
Who is your friend maybe I know him ?
my best friend just left for south africa yesterday 🥲
Her little boy has grown up so fast She looks back in our happy time that has past now, 18 years old and he's ready to go Sharing his light in God's love with the world. She always known that at staying was at hand. Now it's finally him she just stares at his back Wear a few white shirts and long black coat
Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know
Setting his suitcase with the letter she wrote.
Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know it's the right thing and I'll miss you dearly." Young girl just 18 years old wasn't quite ready to see her bestfriend go. For 730 days she tried to hold him back but her tears gave way. Saying "Two years is a long time for me. to be here without you it's hard to believe, but I know it's the right thing and I'll miss you dearly."
Cardboards up. the time is now. To say goodbye for two years they didn't know how. He got his bags, tears were shed with a heart full of love he said... "Two years is a time for me, to give back for i owe each breath that I breathe. It's only a small thing when you look at eternity."
Thank you for writing a song for all of us mothers missing their son / daughter. My son is serving in Iceland.
Thanks for listening!
Absolutely beautiful! My best friend has been gone for nearly 7 months now. Can't wait for her to get home and start sharing eternity with her!
I absolutely love. As a mom who has a son out for 5 mths and another preparing to serve, it's a very gentle reminder that even though its extremely difficult serving is a small price to pay for all we have. Thank you!
I literally- only ten minutes ago- just said goodbye to my older brother as he leaves to go serve in the Belgium/Netherlands Mission. I came to listen to this song to find comfort and I have. Such a good reminder that two years- 'it's only a small thing, when you look at eternity'. Families can be together forever.
I live in that area!! I will look out for an Elder Hunter :D
In the "Gent" branch to be exact :) (Belgium)
Completely inspired. Thank you Sister Barlow! Whether you've served, are going to serve, or have a friend or family member that has or will, this song can touch your heart. Wonderful.
This song brought me to tears. Carlin's voice is beautiful anfd the lyrics touching. I have a son that passed away 5 years ago that is serving his mission on the other side of the veil. I have a lifetime before I see him again, but I know that he is serving valiantly. I also have my only baby brother serving a mission in Arizona right now and he has been there a year. I miss him so bad, but 2 years to a lifetime is a short distance considering eternity! Thanks for putting this into perspective!
This song is so my missionary and I!! I have a feeling I'll be listening to it a lot over the next two years...
My sweet son left this morning. Thanks for sharing this beautiful song!
Most of us just seek things that are lovely, praiseworthy or of good report. Thank you for being the rare person who creates those things for us to discover! Absolutely beautiful.
gosh...made me cry ha.. i'm about to leave on my mission, joining my two brothers that are already out and my countless number of friends... I am so excited. Two years is a long time, but it's two years that are totally worth it.
beautiful song. my best friend and boyfriend of 5 years is serving in argentina and it is exactly how i feel. i can't wait to show this to him when he comes home :)
I just wanted to tell you as a pretty developed musician myself...this is just freaking gorgeous! I have 50 days now till I report to my mission in Brazil, and I just wanted you to know that I keep listening to this song over and over again just thinking about my mother, my sisters and another important girl in my life. I can't wait to serve the Lord and his children even though it'll be hard to say goodbye for so long, but I couldn't have expressed this better than you have, so I thank you.
This makes me miss my brothers 10x more. Two years is a long time, but I know it's what they are supposed to do. And They are my biggest examples to me because they are out there serving The Lord.
This is sooo so beautiful! My brother leaves to the MTC in a week from today. I showed this song to my mom and she cried! So gorgeous!
I'm leaving for my mission in JUST a few more months, and this song makes me cry every time. I'm so excited. An my best friend just got back from his mission in January. I really missed him.
Her little boy has grown up so fast
She looks back in awe at the time that has past
Now 18 years old and he's ready to go
Share his light and God's love with the world.
She'd always known that this day was ahead
Now it's finally here and she just stares at his bed
Where a few white shirts and a long black coat
Sit in his suitcase with a letter she wrote
Saying
Two years is a long time for me
To be here without you, it's hard to believe
But I know it's the right thing
And I'll miss you dearly
Thank you for writing such a beautiful song. It gives hope to those who are waiting.
Oh Wow, I'm cry my eyes out and I don't even have anyone on a mission right now! What a beautiful song (and performance) can't wait to share!!!
What a God given talent! This is such a beautiful song.
This hit me hard. One of my best friends is leaving on their mission this month. I'm so proud of her, but it will be hard not having her around.
An amazing atonement to the Saviour! Stay strong in the purity of The Saviour! God Bless you! Such Amazing Grace! Take care!!
I love this song!!! It just fills me with so much hope for the future between me and someone I hold dearly! Could you please add it to spotify!
Please? I need this!!
Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I’m going to try to get it on Spotify! I left on my mission when my parents released it, and they accidentally released it to Apple Music and not Spotify. I’m going to see what I can do. Thanks!
Thank you! I so appreciate it and love your music!🥰 Thank you for serving and filling everyone who listens with hope and spirit! @@CarliBarlow
If its not possible thats okay! But know I'll wait anyway! I hope life is going well!
Hey! I think your voice is amazing and I know that you are out on a mission! My sweet boy is out on his mission and before he left I told him to listen to this song! He told me that he met You in the MTC! I hope you'll continue with writing and singing after your mission! You are amazing and everytime I listen to this song I cry!
My son will be returning home from his mission in just 6 weeks. I think I am more anxious than he is. This is such a beautiful song.

That was so beautiful!!! my missionary has been gone for two weeks today and it totally describes how im felling right now. i wish you the best of luck on your mission :)

Beautiful! You really captured the feelings!
My boyfriend has just gotten his mission call today. He's going to Chile in May. I will miss him so much. This song brings so many tears to my eyes... but... it's true: "I know it's the right thing."

I love this song, I can't stop to listening:')
You should make sheet music to this! I bet a ton of people would buy it!
I have really come to admire LDS and how y'all leave on missions, because that's one thing you guys really go after: The Great Commission. But hey, you already know who waited 7 years for his girl in the bible. So don't give up, in fact he's back by now because this video is much older than 2 years!
This girl could sing a Trig textbook to you and it would be beautiful. Wonderful song! The work is hastening!
I cried so hard! this fits me perfectly!
that is AWESOME :) where is she going? she has a beautiful voice and many people will be able to feel the Spirit when she sings :) she's going to be an extraordinary missionary :D ♥
This is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful voice!
And face! 😉
Carli is having a wonderful mission She is fully engage in the work of the Lord. For all of you that are looking for the sheet music to this song please be patient. Carli will be home from her mission at the end of November and I believe she will have it available shortly after that! She is so thrilled that the song has touched so many people.
Such an amazing song! Glad she's having or had a good mission! Please make more music I love the vibe of the song
this is so beautiful and amazing!!! I love it!
If you are reading this comment .. MORE VIDEOS PLEASE! I'm A Fan .. PLEASE.. Thank You
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you! I love it!
Thank you for the many uplifting comments about the song "Two Years". Carli is going to be so touched when she hears about the effect the song is having on you. Carli left last week to serve a mission and did not notate the song before entering the MTC, therefore we don't have sheet music available. We are so sorry. The song is now on ITunes if you go to the link above so you can download it. Thanks :)
I was in your Facebook post!
i love this song
MADE ME CRY :'(
Hermosa canciooon !!!
I'm going to be totally honest, I heard this song about 2 years ago and I liked it and all, but didn't really like the second verse because it didn't relate to me. Now, I'm an 18 year old girl and my best friend is leaving in less than two weeks, and I have never related to a song more. 😭😭 Thank you for sharing, even if the full effect came several years later.
This is amazing!!
Wow, this is amazing! My boyfriend of 4 years is currently serving a mission in Ukraine. This song is so powerful and beautiful!
Beautiful
I already posted this but so many people keep asking, look in her description for the sheet music!
Amazing
A young girl just 18 years old
Wasn't quite ready to see her best friend go
For 730 days
She tried to hold him back
But her tears gave way
Saying
Two years is a long time for me
To be here without you, it's hard to believe
But I know it's the right thing
And I'll miss you dearly
(Ooooos and Ohhhhs)
The car pulls up
The time is now
To say goodbye for two years
They didn't know how.
He got his bags
Tears were shed.
With a heart full of love he said
Two years is the time for me
To give back
Thank you for your kind words. Carli is speaking Spanish is Chicago.
For I owe each breath that I breathe
It's only a small thing when you look at eternity.
(Ooooos and Ohhhhs)
this music is so perfect :') ,
I need the sheet music...pleasee
I realy like this song and the singer i like her.. lol
You are the Sara Bareilles of the LDS world!
Obsessed. My mishy has been out for over four months now and this describes everything I'm feeling. Sheet music and lyrics please??? :)
I was doing fine until they showed the real pictures of the missionaries, and then tears flowed. We have two out right now. It's a wonderful thing!
I just found this today. My boyfriend leaves for his mission in two days and it’s been really hard..
If you could put the sheet music link up that would be fantastic! I'm sure plenty of people would willingly pay for it, I know I would!
This song gorgueous! I want the sheet music... :)
This is so pretty thank you!
