[Chorus:]
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (On and on)
To the sea, to the sea

the saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory
Yes yes yes , crying
I agree
It sucks your world is turned upside down it really does suck she was only 62 yrs copd
Just like my father.
That Cut Deep. How True. God Bless You.🙏💗
I've been searching for this song for the last 42 years.
I heard it as a child, 11 years old in 1981, standing in a pizza joint in Queens with my mom.
I can't tell you how many times over the years I've tried to sing a part of the melody- (To the sea, to the sea'Til it's gone foreverGone forever) the only part that I remembered- to someone to see if they knew it.
When the internet came round, every once in a while I would google the bit of lyric I remembered "to the sea" or look up lists of radio hits from 1981.
Incredibly, I heard it once again only yesterday. It came on the mix at a restaurant and I had the strangest feeling come over me as I began to recognize it.
Shazam this! I yelled at my friends. They all knew it of course.
I came home and sat here listening to the song, feeling myself looking back in time at my child self, both of us transfixed. It felt mystical. Like some kind of miracle to hear it again. And so strange that the lyrics were about time, and I felt myself a part of that river of self and time, grown now but still standing, as if in both places.
I'm only sharing this because I started to read all the other comments and saw how so many people connect deeply with this song, and I want my tears to join in with theirs...
God speed
I don’t share a lot of musical overlap with my Argentinean mother. One day I was playing this song and she recognized. She said it was amazingly popular there when she was in college.
She couldn’t remember the lyrics or what it was about, but something about the melody and the music brought back so many memories and emotions for her. Amazing song.
I can so relate! Such a beautiful song and connection to each other!❤
Just ask me next time. I have a photographic memory for music. Unfortunately it doesn’t extend to other areas of life.
The song is evoking the Holy Spirit of God in You, that is the mystical feeling you had. It doesnt come from the musicians, the Holy Spirit of God is working thru them to touch your heart and soul. That is what is happening. Going back to your childhood is explained by your immortality. Your soul never ages or dies. Your body does, but not your soul. That is why old people dont really feel old deep down inside.
As a kid, you loved the melody.
*As an adult, you understood the lyrics.*
Wow how smart r u
the world is your thoughts for a beautiful mind thank you

I'm 63...and one of the saddest things that happens is when you've got so many stories to tell and no one wants to listen...
I will listen to you, as I'm sure nearly every person here would also.
🙏 "that's when you log youtube hours & donate your videos to your County Historical Society"
Thats such a true sentiment. Many days I feel that way. They say friends should have same interests, problems, start talking Im listening. 👊👋
That's right! And your experience is obsolete.
Today, I'm very happy; don't care anymore. 😀
No one else deserves the wisdom and humor found in stories carved out of the school of long experience.
I am 68 years old with stage four cancer and having lost many people animals and things I loved so dearly, I appreciate every moment that passes and feel grateful that I can still walk, breathe and be still able to look at the sun rising every morning. Time is infinite, there are no goodbyes just so longs. I know we shall meet again my beloved ones and then there won't be any partings for ever more!
Do NOT go quietly into that night!!!
you SHALL see all that have passed before you. you shall.
may God give you strength and patience...
Pull through
I hope God grants your wish for Peace and Serenity. Keep living your best life. Prayers
This was one of my Mom's favorite song. When I had her disconnected from life support this is one of the songs I played for her clutching her in my arms telling her how much I loved and adored her and Thanking her for the privilege it was to be her daughter. I am crying while writing this missing her terribly. Rest in peace my beautiful mother. I will always love and adore her.
What a beautiful comment for an incredibly hard experience to endure. I know from experience that the loss of a mother is one of the most painful experiences of our lives, but I hope you are doing okay, and I thank you for sharing your powerful comment here.
They should MAKE THIS anthem of all funerals
I had almost an identical experience, Darla, as I sat with my mother this past month before she slipped away.... the music, and the love reflected in it, seemingly transcending the moment of loss. It was and is crushing, especially as I likewise had an unbreakable relationship with my mom. I wish you so much peace, and the same depth of love from her memory that we both evidently received all of these years from our mothers. "Who knows when we shall meet again....."
I know how difficult that was for you. I had to do the same for my husband and my best friend I had ever had. It was on 11/9/2022. There is a pain that is impossible to suppress just for me to make it through the day. 😢❤
A lot of people -like me- who don't know you, Darla, and read your comment feel, however, like knowing you many years ago. It's inevitable don't cry with you because we share the same experience in losing beloved people. I hug you with all my cherrish and send a kiss to Heaven for your adored mom.
The tears flow when I hear this. I miss my sister, my parents, my comrades I served in with the 101st airborne division, my fellow officers I served with as a police officer, some killed in the line of duty, some by their own hands. And yet I am here alone, sort of the last man standing. My life was richer knowing them, and this song brings back their lives. Alan Parsons made some great music, this being one of their best.
I also served in the 101st Airborne Division. I spent most of my time at LZ Sally in 1968. I feel you as I too have suffered loss. Welcome home, my brother.
@@michaelcummingsherrera1232 glad you made it home. was in B CO, 3/187th infantry regiment, 101st airborne division, 2nd platoon, 2nd squad. My commanding officer was Capt. Ted (theodore) cox, who served as a staff sergeant with the 7th special forces group in vietnam before he received his commission, 1968 to 1970..unfortunately he has also passed.
@charlessedlacek5754 I was with B Co. 326th Med Bn and was part of massive Operation Eagle Thrust from Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
1981 - this song is awesome!
2020 - this song is awesome!
2081 - this song will still be awesome!
YES, what should I say, I am 85 years old....this song is used in a tremendous Chilean film called " Un fantastica mujer "
Actually it came out in 1980.
😍 bella canción
Had this on L.P. 🙂
The older you get the more this song impacts your mind. A beautiful piece.
Fact!
Agreed. Well said.
You're at peace
So true. I’m not too far to make the big step
@@MarkEastman I don't really know what's happening to you, if you're ill or something, but I wish you all the best my friend and I hope you're doing well.
Its only now that this song impacted me. My husband died 2 mos ago and he used to sing this song holding my hand while driving. Until now his voice resonates on my ears. I miss him so dearly.
Sorry for your loss...
You’ll always have that memory
My late wife and I used to slow dance to that song, never thinking she would pass away from cancer at 54 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. I too lost my husband, and know that although we never get over the loss, we do learn to live with it. All I can say is that you and your husband shall definitely meet again. Bless you.
❤
This song came out a few months after my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 42. He died 8 months later. 42 years later, the span of his own life cut short by half, this song brings me back to him. And that is a powerful thing, a gift
😢 💓 🕊️
My husband was diagnosed with cancer, and he was given two weeks. He lasted three days. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@kathyg1660So sorry to hear that Kathy, I hope it was a great marriage filled with wonderful memories, RIP your husband😞😭✌️
I hope for this song to be over for me one day!!
Nothing more!!
Melodía que te llega al alma profundamente 😢😢😢
76 years old love this song. My mind floats back to the time of my 20s O' those gone by days now only a memory.
I'm 50 now,and this type of music accompanied me through my hard childhood I had. Music of mostly all types saved me from taking drugs or smoking. When I listen to this beautiful song it brings back good memories.
That's truly impressive Marcus. I'm 47 and remember those decades quite well. The fact that you dodged drugs during that time period is a testament to your character
Played it on vinyl. Now sitting in front of a laptop singing along.
I loved your comment, i have 42 years old, and every day i feel more far away my childhood, was a wonderfull ages, regards my friend
yep
My Dad passed away last month. This is one of his favorite songs. It makes me cry everytime I listen to this song.. I miss you so much Daddy... 😭😭
My wife of 42 years passed away last week, and this was one of the songs I've considered playing at her celebration of life we'll be having later. But while it would actually be my wife talking to us, I can't help but feel like it's me talking to her. "If ever" might be the only place where I depart from the lyrics of this tune, because until my dying day I want to live my life such to ensure I wind up where she is now - an angel among angels.

Michele, please checkout what I said above. You" llnever bê Aline. Luis Fernando
Same ♥️
my mom loves this song and so do does my family. It's okay when your dad passes away. He'll guide you. ☺😭
Yes, I'm another one of those "my dad passed away" comments. But sadly it's true. My beloved dad passed away this morning, the best way possible. Holding my sister's hand. He took a last look at her, cried a bit and just stopped breathing. I'm 23 and I can't describe how lost I feel right now without him. He was my guide, my inspiration, gave me good taste in music. He loved this song so much ! And now these lyrics are hitting me so hard... This is for you dad ! You are so loved. I'm sure we will meet again !
Hey mate, your dad is not dead, he's just living in a space/time we cannot understand. And as long as you remember him the way you do, he will be alive and rockin'. Kindest regards and respect.
🌻
I probably won't be of any comfort, but I'm feeling pain for a different and yet similar reason. I have no idea what algorithm sent this particular song my way, but it's bringing up emotions that I try to keep squashed down. 28 years ago I moved 3000 miles from home for a man I fell in love with. I still love him and we have 2 wonderful sons, but I miss my home country and my siblings. When my beloved parents died in 2008 and 2012, each was sudden and required instant arrangements which were traumatic. I never got to hold their hands and say goodbye before they took their last breath, which my siblings did, and I'm happy they got to have that, but so sad that I didn't. I'm thankful that I did get to participate in their funerals and I'm grateful for that at least.
I'm so happy for you that you had such a close relationship with your dad, and I'm so sorry that he's been taken away from you. I hope you still have your mother, and a good support system😘
I'm very, very sorry for your loss. I will soon feel similar pain with a dying loved one. I hope you will always remember and feel the spirit and love from your lost one.
I am so sorry for your loss. It feels so sad to read this but I hope after two months you’re doing a little bit better.
I have this song on repeat. My dad chose this song for his funeral song, he passed away 12/8/22 . It’s been very hard, I was his only daughter, and I grew up and was never around, once I found out he was sick I still had my distance cause I didn’t like seeing him like that, once I found out he was dying, I was there when I could be, and me and my mom were the only ones out of my siblings to be able to say our last last final goodbyes, he was such a great man, and dad he deserved so much more, and I still wish it was me. I hate myself that I wasn’t there when I should’ve been. Spend time with your parents cause one day they’ll be gone, and you won’t know if you’ll ever be with them again. I love my dad, and I miss him very much, it’s a hard thing to go through just as a teenage girl.
May he rest in peace 🙏
No truer words can be said. I lost my sweetheart best mom I've ever known, in May 2021. She was in a good health in her 60's. I was her best friend and we spent so much time together listening to beautiful classic songs and watching videos. She suddenly left. I though I had time and that I'll be able to be a much better son for her sometime in the futuer when things circumstances would allow. One night she felt uneasy, she spoke her last words in my arms and unexpectedly passed, while both of us didn't expect it. I was in disbelief and still I'm trying to truly comprehend and accept she will never return.
RIP to your dad!
RIP to your dad, I lost mine a similar time, July 30th 2022, he loved all 5 of us kids and doted on my mum. He could never do enough for us, he did so much and lived for us. Had cancer but the op to correct it took him away without us having the chance to get prepared and say goodbye. It was meant to be routine. I miss him so dearly and I can imagine what you're going through, I won't say I know, because grief is very individual and no one can walk in another's shoes. But God bless our dads wherever they are, hopefully they're looking out for us in a spiritual way. And bless you too.
I too lost my dad, but I was 43, although the pain was awful and still is, I remember him everyday with joy and the good times we had, I still miss him a lot, I talk to him 😮, say the last news of our club and how mum is doing. That’s the eternity, when someone is remembered its still alive 🥹
When you're 15-16, you wish time would speed up so you could get where you wanted to go in life. When you're 58, you wonder where the time went........
+eddie brown exactly!!
I'm not looking forward to that. I'm 15 now. Lol.
+vladimyr morris It's funny how strange time can be. When I was a kid, the summer seemed like it went on for years, & a school year seemed like eternity! But by 20, I noticed a slight pull in time, but 30 is where it started to be noticeable, & after 40, hell it was like being in an Indy car! But now after 50, & even though I still play in bands & ppl say I havent really changed in 20 years, but its like every time I turn around, another Christmas or birthday or summer,wintespringfall!!!!!!!!!!! Man! It just will Not slow down now! :)
STEVE SIMMS Yea I feel the same now. I get pissed off with how fast time flies by.
+vladimyr morris Man, it Does fly. Theres truth in the old saying, "Time Flies".
I was 7 or 8 when this song came out..I never understood why my mom and dad would play it over and over again...40 years later and I cant stop playing it....I get it 🥺

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river to the sea
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friend
(Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
(Who knows when
We shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever now
Forevermore, forevermore
Merci

Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
This song is a masterpiece.
It's eternal

My dad passed away on 7/22. He was my very best friend. We used to listen to The Alan Parsons Project so much when I was a little girl, but I hadn't really thought of them since I became an adult. Last night I was cleaning out his closet, and it was the hardest thing I've done so far. They popped in my head. I opened Spotify and played them on random. This song played first. I feel like my dad sent this song to me, and as sad as it is, I feel like he found a way to say goodbye and that we're both going to be okay.
Thank you, Dad. I love you too, forever.
This is unbelievably touching. Hugs Sadie.
So Sweet and Nicely said.
It's been 10 years, since my father passed but I feel your pain, like it was yesterday. I wish I had known him, as I came to know him, by cleaning out his belongings. I mean....we were close, but I found out things that he believed...but he never spoke of. We would have had so much more to talk about, if I had only known.
I am sorry Sadie Vond.... I hope that you are fine...
You got a bunch of tears running down my face. BLESS YOU!!
I can't listen to this song and not cry. Every. Single. Time.
Me too
❤
Me either, I'm 72 and somehow survived melanoma. Life and time is so very precious and I hate the hatred we are seeing all over the world now. We only get one chance here, we must be wise about it. ALL of us.....
im crying with you
Every single time
My wife passed 1.13.24....
She just loved this song.....20 wonderful years and we shall meet again....miss you Michelle....rest you battled Breast and brain cancer valiantly ❤
Probably the deepest most beautiful sad song ever written.
I agree. And they were all crafted musicians, even studying sound engineering which is why their songs have high clarity
Me and a old girlfriend used to spin this album in her basement in the 80s constantly.
Now im almost 50 crying in here reading everyones comments.
Love you all and hopefully see you on the otherside♐♐💞💞
Right there with you.
51 and counting, and this is still one of my favorites. See you there, when we have to go, but let's spend some more time together.
Same here , brother. I'm about to turn 51. Feeling nostalgic tonight listening to songs from late 70s early 80s I associate certain events with songs, maybe because I heard the song at that moment? This song takes me to an exact moment in time, riding with my Dad to go camping and set turtle lines with his buddies in Southern Ohio. Riding in his red 72 Nova. Lost Dad last year from Lewy Body Dementia. Time really does flow like a river. A very, very fast river. My advice to any youngsters. Soak up evert f'n thing along that ride. Take nothing for granted and never put stuff off until tomorrow. Some daybitbwont come. I miss my Dad. I miss my childhood. I miss so many things. Alas, life is not over yet, so I'm gonna keep on enjoying this ride down this crazy ass river. Peace ✌
Music is cathartic! XoKT
Me 2 brother
As a young man I understood the meaning of this song but it never hit me until I became older. At 51 years of age now, I've lost 2 children, family and friends throughout the years and I'm not ashamed to say that this song still brings me to tears of all those I have lost. But it's also given me the understanding that they would want me to live my life to the fullest and be as happy as I can be and to know they are all in a better place.
That's deep. I dig it. I'm 40 now. Didn't give a shit in my youth but now,..song as magnificent as this always make me cry.
My condolences
Brother, I think all of us that are older can feel that. If I could just go back, I wouldnt have wasted it. All the people ive lost, I just never got to tell them thank you.
Thank you for that❤🙏🌌
Very well stated. I totally agree with you. This could be me less losing 2 children.
Sung by the late great Eric Woolfson, One of my favorite lead singers.
This is a hauntingly beautiful song.
It sounds like Us and Them
@@chscelebrity8325 kind of
That is exactly what it is.
The saddest song ever
I agree Laura really touches the heart.
My brother passed away last week and he loved it this song. RIP dear Juan.
"Who knows when we shall meet again"
Best of luck to you.its never easy losing a loved one.i wish you the best
YES, the loving souls are always criss-crossing back and forth through time.
So sorry for your loss.
Big hug for you and your family.
Dio vi benedica Signore Juan. Riposare in pace.
You can hear how Alan Parsons' superb touch as a sound engineer added so much to many Pink Floyd recordings.
First time I heard this song I thought it was Pink Floyd
@@BenderPYUs and them, by Pink Floyd
Not to mention the Beatles... ;-)
@wiwipapillon6928 yes haha straight away similar tempo and time signature
He was a sound engineer for the Beatles on the roof top. I never knew that
When my wife died suddenly in 2019 shortly thereafter I heard this on the radio...all the feelings,the longing..the tears flowed as I heard this song and thought of her...others have gone since then..my dad as well and certain friends too.This song is for them.Thank you Alan for writing this song.
Their spirit still thrives on your love for them....
All you can do is, revel in the time, you had the blessings to embrace that spirit, that beautiful spirit, just being patient, to join her in heaven!!!
@@garywemmer9342 Thank you for those kind words Gary.Take care
If you're reading this right now,
I just wanted to let you know that you are an amazing person.
Have a wonderful day.

Thank you-I left my 'blog' today-and if you love this song too-well...…….no words
Thanks man...
I’m 22 years old. This is one of the most beautiful and saddest songs I’ve heard in my life.
Wait until you're 62 and hear it again fir the first time in a lifetime.
Listen to old and wise from the "eye in the sky "album
Today my grandfather passed away at 79 years of age, he died of a peptic ulcer and at the moment the doctors gave me the notice that he died I was listening to this song, I will miss you a lot grandfather
This was released in April 1981, right before my high school graduation, which was in May 1981. Every time I hear this song I feel the tassel swinging against my cheek, smell the freshly mown spring grass of the football field, and hear the whoops of joy from my family in the stands...all the while knowing I'll spend the rest of my life remembering this very moment. Just like now, 40 years later.
the album was recorded in 79 released shortly after that.
Class of 1981 as well
Our graduation song 82
🥰
Amazing! Just amazing!
in memory of a friend who passed away 38 years ago tonight. Rest in peace Jenny you are not forgotten.
We will all remember u in are hearts 💕 ♥
It Cinda reminds me of the movie what a wonderful life
Great tribute...
had a friend who passed away a year ago. he was 19 years old. graduated with him and everything. saw him in his coffin pale as a ghost... crazy how life is
@@andyf4306 how did he die?
My beloved of 43 years of marriage passed away two years ago and this is one of the songs she loved. It still makes me cry; I loved her so much and still miss her.😥😥😥
Ashleigh Ball last Friday turned 40, how I wanted 23 years for that and XHCHL was broadcast but under Ultra 90.1 Sonamos diferente
I'm so sorry sir. So sorry. Hang in there. Her spirit still thrives on your love....
I sincerely hope that her memory brings you comfort and peace my friend. 🙏
@@marshalmcdonald7476 Wow ! "Her Spirit still thrives on your love", what a beautiful thought & thing to say.
@@jayarajjohnson2476 I'm glad you got it. I believe it. Our departed loved ones on the other side are nourished by our thoughts and emotions about them.
In Christ, we meet again
One of the saddest and best songs. It makes me cry so much. Be it losing a lover over time or losing someone to death. This song is so much more profound than when I was younger. It stirs such deep, deep emotions. Truly beautiful.
I when I was released I was 14 heard it like it, but at 55 now it means alot more
When I was visiting with a good friend we listen to this song ,I looked over at him and im mucha older than him , I said to him whim you die will you come looking for me in heaven and he grabbed me up and said yes I will .
A beautiful song so well written
It is not as sad as it is real!! This is life! Flowing like a river! till its gone forever! So get out and enjoy it while we have it!!
if anyone is listening to this right now just appreciate time and what you have cause it's precious beyond belief cherish your friends and memories peace and love everyone
David Sobers, God bless you. Sending love and hugs.
Truly the far and away most valuable thing we have aside from Love is Time.
And if you can't do that, at least don't hurt anyone including those others often find to be unworthy as a human being.
Amen. Hv bone marrow cancer. Not much time for me but I enjoy acting and making people laugh.
David you hit it right on the button I often think time has no mercy because it goes so fast after your 50 but that was very inspiring what you said about the song and the memories God blessed stay safe
My boyfriend passed away from Leukemia at 41, it has been years, but this song still accurately resonates the sorrow. Grateful it means so much to so many. Beautiful.
We never know when our end will come,
It happens without cause or Zen;
Just remember farewells are NEVER forever…
Simply until we meet again 🌄
@@chrismayer3919 Beautiful🥲
I'm sorry
Lost my highschool sweetheart and I never got over it.
I feel you on your loss.
And this song brings back so much
I had the biggest crush on a girl named Jenny since I was in the 6th grade in 1981. She was a year older than me and never knew I liked her. I was always afraid to tell her. I would see her and always wanted to tell her but never did. Finally, in my junior year in high school (her senior year) at a school dance, the last one of the year, one of the last few songs of the night, this song came on. I spotted her across the room and said to myself, “It’s now or never.” I summoned up all the courage I had and went over to her and asked her to dance. She said, “Absolutely!” We strode over to the dance floor and started slow dancing. I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. She was tired from dancing all night and just laid her head on my shoulder as we danced. Time seemed to stand still as I couldn’t believe the girl of my dreams was here and dancing with me so close. Then before I knew it, the song ended. She hugged me and went back to her friends and I went back to mine and sat back and soaked it all in. She graduated and I never got to tell her how I felt and never saw her again. But for one moment in time, I had the girls of my dreams in my arms for five minutes and eleven seconds. I often think about her. A few years ago, I sent her a friend request on FB and she accepted. I check in on her FB every now and then. I wonder if she even remembers the dance, probably not, but I will remember it for a lifetime and that’s okay.
I'm sure she'll remember that dance with you. I'm surprised all the time when I hunt up friends from 40 years ago, thinking they won't remember the brief time I lived in the same town with them. They all remembered me. 😊
there are times we ignore someone's existence..
until we lost them

I agree Jane!

Time....
This was one of my favourites……Now that I’m 71 it is even more important to me….just listen to the words….my heart bleeds. I just lost my Mom who was 96 years old and am losing my Sister to lung cancer any day. My Son has been gone for a long time due to AIDS. He was my best friend. I only hope they will be there when it is my turn to meet.
🙏Prayers to you Cindy.
They will be right there waiting for you. I jus lost my mom in November. My heart aches too., my brother decided to leave in 96. Now it’s only me 52….I miss them every day.
@@davidhoffman8697 Sorry for your losses.🙏
And they will! 🤍
This has to be one of the best songs ever made
That's the strongest homage to someone who's been so important in life... When my ex boyfriend passed away with only 37 years and I was far away from Santo André (Brazil), this was the first time I used this song to someone so dear to me.... It's pure transcendental this song, the lyrics, today it conforts me, in the past it used to make me feel down.
What a vision you had, Mr. Alan Parsons! What a masterpiece about our passage to the other dimension...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Goodbye is the hardest word.
yes it is
my boyfriend, wanted me to play this as his funeral, he passed last Friday, I love you Johnny!!
May his soul rest in peace.. Wishes n prayers for you..
He had great baste in music and women. Bless you.
tammy bethel Its a very beautiful song . And so many deep meanings . It makes me cry hearing it. I'm Sorry for your loss Roger
So sorry to hear of your loss Tammy.
im so sorry for your loss...hugs and prayers from Montreal :*
This piece of music is unbelievable.
I'm young, just 16 years old, but I still feel great emotions when I listen to this.
juls daly That’s brilliant to know- you have a good soul my friend !
Many of us were your age when we first heard and loved it.
You have a good and old soul. Research Alan Parsons; To me, he is what I call a modern- day MOZART!!
The first time I heard it, I was 15 years old...in 1980...
I heard it for the first time while half-asleep...it has been embedded in my psyche ever since...
The emotions you felt when you first heard it, you will feel them deeper with each time you listen to it...
I promise you...
@@tommypauly3249
Yes.
The greatest grief is losing someone you love while they are still alive.
Yesterday, my dog Nyla passed away. It has been very hard to think that I will no longer see her. Today, after I got her ashes, I heard part of this song and something told me I had to know which song it was (I don't speak English)... I believe it was her, saying goodbye to me... I'm gonna miss her so much... 🐾🌈
This song is beautiful and so very meaningful. I lost my wife five years ago and I will meet her again.
Yesterday I was playing basketball, softball, tackle football, running, jumping and having a ball. In a few months I turn 60. Folks, it goes by quickly.
It's all good when you turn 50 it's still good feel how you want.im 50.
60. Even better.
You're only as old as the women you feel.
Just wait until Your Seventies.
We're aging very fast.
I am at that age where you start losing more of the people you love than you gain back. Just the cycle of life. This song is an absolute brilliant masterpiece of lyric and melody as it completely encapsulates this very scenario. The absolute essence of life with both its beauty and tragedy.
❤❤❤❤😢
This song truly brings tears every...single...time I hear it. A hauntingly beautiful song.
Your not on your own there Kate it's beautiful bus means more when you have lost somebody you love.
@@davidhubbert9445 Amen
I wonder if Alan Parson himself wrote this in posthumous tribute to a loved one?
Wouldn’t surprise me… 😢
"hauntingly beautiful" that's the perfect word
Dear Katie I'm there too wishing you well.
Time - lyrics:
Time
Flowing like a river...
Time
Beckoning me...
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea.
Goodbye, my love,
Maybe for forever.
Goodbye, my love,
The tide waits for me.
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea.
To the sea
Till it's gone forever,
Gone forever,
Gone forevermore.
Goodbye, my friend,
Maybe for forever.
Goodbye, my friend,
The stars wait for me.
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea.
To the sea
Till it's gone forever,
Gone forever,
Gone forevermore.
Forevermore...
Natali Dali Than you so much for lyrics
Thank you very much! Thanks thanks. Greetings from Mexico.
Gracias por la letra. Saludos.
Linda canção
Muito obrigado. Thanks.
A friend of mine told me his theory about why time seems to pass more quickly as you age. It is simply the difference in the ratio between any given time period and how long you’ve been alive. For instance, when you were 5 years old, a year was 20% of your entire life; but when you reach 50, it’s down to only 2%! Your perception changes accordingly. I think he is right.
It's like that feeling when you drive somewhere you haven't been before but the drive back seems quicker.
Then how do i remember things from age 2 and a half and i know that my first year was like 50 years of what i remember at age 5? the Creations of G-d do not exist in G-d's reality. Time and Space are simple creations. They are finite and that is why we perceive time and space differently at various times and in various places. I have lived in a 1 room bedroom-kitchenette for 14 years. It is so much larger than the large home I lived in as a teenager and it is so much bigger than the 8 bedroom apartment we had long ago raising 7 of our children and an orphan also.We simply perceive time and space that do not really exist in reality.G-d Created the whole universe, and it is expanding and to keep the universe to be the same as it was amoment ago,G-d EXISTS that very not real universe. have you ever had a temporary electric shut down,or a PC which turned off or your stereo stopped playing music when the electricity stopped or your little brother pulled the stereo electric cord? WHERER did the music go to? It and the electricity returned to their source in the electric wires outside and then returned to your local electric power station. It no longer is being existed.But G-d who thought of creation an infinity ago,for him a nano moment ago continually keeps existing the universe .
Definitely
Hey i once read that story somewhere
it´s crazy, but make sense
Tears are streaming down my face reading the heartfelt comments left here
I was 7 in 1980 and remember this song and looking up to my father who is still my hero & especially today, which is his 83rd birthday, what a long road we have traveled👍
I was a newborn but this song puts me back sadly
@@KristNi This song reminds me that we are only here for a limited time on the earth. So while we are here we should enjoy our loved ones for as long as we got and to enjoy places we haven't been to before.
My wife past away 5 years ago after 40 years of marriage.
Our favorite spot was on the shores of Lake Superior watching the river at Hurricane Beach flow into the lake.
I go to that spot every summer vacation and sit and watch.
This is where her ashes were scattered and where mine will also be.
This song means a lot to me.
I miss her.
So Very Sorry For Your Loss.
Totally Relatable. My Husband Passed Away In 2017, This Song
Reminds Me Of Him. Sending Prayers. Take Care God Bless 🙏 Stay Safe.
@@judyledbetter3915 Thank you. Take care.
And sorry for your lose also.
I'm 48. Can still vividly remember when the days were long as a kid. When a week vacation (let alone summer) from school felt like an eternity of playtime. I could get lost in my imagination for hours on end...
I miss those days
Make sure you get your TPS reports in on time!
Alan Parsons' masterpiece of masterpieces.
I can't stop crying more...
Don't be so 😭
A me ocurre lo mismo...es muy melancólica...cada vez la escucho, no dejo de llorar, recuerdos invaden mi mente...la versión en vivo es...especial, muy especial...saludos.
When is Alan Parsons Project getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
If the Rock Hall of Fame meant anything at all, he would have been in there from the beginning.
Hard to believe that the Alan Parsons Project is not in the rock n roll hall of fame
Sad, doesn’t it!
Th critics found him too POP, overproduced and not too original! Oh well “the experts” will rather prefer RaP, ....ah!?
Reading the reasons why? in internet, it just makes me realize, it doesn’t matter!
Rock and Rock hall of fame or not!
APP sounds still better than ever, and his music will reach generations to come!
R&R hall of game, drop dead!
Agreed🕰
Why is it even called RnR hall of fame. Rap n pop music is not RnR.
Who is Randy Newman, he's in
I know that's right!!! Shameful!!!
It's a crime against humanity.
There should be an "AWESOME! button for this song!
I recently lost my husband of 45 years. I wish I had one more day! So much I should have said. Please don't wait! Tell those you love how much they mean to you. 🙏🏼❤️
MASTERPIECE
This was my fathers favorite song and now he's 2yrs gone and this song hits differently and it hurts like hell, happy fathers day.
edit; someday we'll meet again dad💔
So sorry you lost your father Fiona, you will see him again❤️
This song gives me peace
Yes you will
Till you meet him again, enjoy life’s adventures. I’m sure that is what he would want.
My 28 year old daughter passed 2 years ago. Played it at her funeral.
THE GIFT OF GOD ..IS ETERNAL
The gift of God
Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows if we shall ever meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea
Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends, stars wait for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

We just had to burry a great friend today & he actually told me about this song about a yr ago & here i am now playing all the songs we wld listen to...miss you so much already friend 💔😢 Rest in Heaven Bill G.
Now that I am 70 years old. I relazise that i made so many mistakes in the past. I do wish, i could go back, and undo some of them. To all of them that i loved an messed around. I am really sorry.
our lives are just a series of mistakes and random accidents.how many of your solid plans ever came to fruition? i had a hippy mum and she always advised me to 'follow your heart,not your wallet'....turned out it was good advice.every day brings something new,embrace it,soak up every experience,then go home and chill to the APP,or Pink Floyd,or The Beatles,whatever floats your boat and be thankful you are still learning.open minds are Gods gift (if there IS a God)
another americanism. the reason we have to constantly say, 'oh, yea i have no regrets' is because it's not attainable. it's bollocks that ideally sounds good coming out of our mouth. but keep the mantra going
dear John Watson. I love this song so much. at first i didn't realize its meaning, what is hidden in its lyrics. i have to say , it's just normal for us, human beings, to make mistakes, hurt someone, by any bad action, because we are human, not machines. we are no perfect at all. It is so good to recognize our mistakes, to say "I'm sorry" from the bottom of our soul and heart. I understand you.
greetings.
the wisdom of age and foolishness of youth,,, me too,,,,me too!!!!!
Praise the Lord for people who have regret and repent and feel sorry for the hurt they caused others in their life! Jesus is the Only Way, the Truth and the LIfe!!! Read Romans 10:9 to know how to get saved!!! The Lord will forgive and save those who receive Him as their Saviour and Lord and ask Him to cleanse them in His precious blood!!!
One of the greatest voices ever known. R.I.P Eric Woolfson!!
Indeed!
I totally agree

Eric Norman Woolfson: Sunday March 18, 1945- Wednesday December 2, 2009. R.I.P. Mr. Woolfson. Thank you for your gift and for all the memories behind them.
@zalewskimm I only wished that Eric had sung all Allan Parsons songs. ❤❤
I used to hear this song playing through doctors offices, stores, and other public places when I was a childnever once really giving it much thought. Now, I've randomly been recommended by youtube to listen to this song laying in bed in the ER right after just being told my cancer has returned and metastasized, I couldn't hold back the tears and started going through Facebook to see pictures of all my friends and family wishing I could say hello to them, but can't bring myself to burdening them with my negative situation, so I just lay in the bed by myself and reminisce of my good times I've had with all of them and how life has passed so fast. I say to all of them in silent reverency, "Goodbye, my friends, the tide waits for me."
:(
I don't know you and you don't know me but... I hope you recover from that. Hang in there and keep fighting. I wish you the best for the future.
You can never really tell aside,
What the mighty sea has in store;
But as one boat is washed
away with the tide…
Another is brought safely back to shore.

God bless you
My parents used to play this album on long car journeys when I was a kid. This song always made me feel so sad. Time seemed to have no significance back then but I think the meaning of the song still managed to reach out to my young mind. And now those times are gone forever...
markafc83 Thank God for parents that left good music to their kids by playing the good music , back when it was music , now you are grown and I bet you have quite the variety of musical taste thanks to Mom and Dad... =)

+markafc83 They are not gone, they are in your heart, your mind, and mostly in your spirit. As long as you keep them there, they will never be gone.
+Paul Boyd So well put Mr. Boyd...
+markafc83 Well i'm not crying. It's just a dust storm flying through my computer room right now. A DUST STORM!
I miss you mom.
God Bless You...….God Bless Your Mom...….
Me too
I miss my mom. Always
I'm 64, sometimes when I heard this song , I have the same feeling great sadness
I loved this song as a teenager, but now... it really shows how fast our lives all go... like tears in the rain... lost forever.
One of the most beautiful song ever created.
Yes.
The saddest
Indeed...A greeting from Italy
I lost my father to cancer on 6th december 2019..
I miss him everyday... He was my best friend...we will surely meet again one day...
I remember this song as a kid and liked it for how different it was from everything else.
I'm 53 now and just finalized the divorce of my 31 year marriage and the song has new meaning to me.
After my daughter died from suicide, this song was playing lot in my head and was strangely comforting. Can't hear it and not think of her now.
I miss you Momma. Not enough time. We will meet again. I scattered your ashes where you asked. To the sea on Tybee Island, Ga. Wildflowers grow where I scattered them. The dunes behind the DeSoto. I go to the sea. I go to talk to God and you. You were the best friend I ever had. I miss you so...
I am so sorry, Tammy. I know exactly how you feel and what you are going through in the loss of your mother here on this earth. I have lost both of my parents whom I loved so dearly. Life is never the same. I'm 60 years old, but in many ways I feel like an orphan without them here. Keep doing what you're doing. There is NO time limit on grieving. It took me 7 years after I lost daddy. The more you grieve, the more you LOVED and continue to LOVE . . . And yes, you will be together again - the next time for eternity!
Awww hugs ...💜
@@Sealust50 hugs to you 💜
You have an absolutely beautiful way with words. Thank you for your story.
@@Sealust50 I'm very sorry for your loss. :-(
I remembered listening to this beautiful and peaceful song in my early 20's, now in my early 50's it makes me think back that time passes us so quickly like a blink of the eye. Its been a good life, but its passing by way too fast now, and there is not much time left to enjoy the beauty of it all
You must enjoy EVERY breath you take🌞
@@jeffsullivan2044
💢Especially with this killer virus going around !
Im going to play this at my grandad's funeral soon. He was the one who got me into music and spent so much time watching his jazz master-class drumming as a child. He took me to my guitar lessons and he was my father. Don't know what kind of version, but luckily I have many friends that are willing to come and play out of respect. Thank you from everything, my mentor, my father, my best friend!
Heaven is an amazing place! Can’t wait to see all of mine and live with them forever!! They are never truly gone, just in a different realm. God Bless!!
🏝❤️🦖💜💎🦋🌻😀
This was played at my wife Dee's funeral. Such a beautiful song. RIP darling. I can't wait to be with you.
Sorry for your loss...and yes, you will see her later. This song is sublime.
That is lovely
I know how it feels... I lost my two brothers 9 and 3 years ago. We love music and this song is one of our favorite to play with. Time will come we gonna play together again.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Simply haunting.
Even all these years later.
Amen!
Awkwardly true too.
yep

First time I heard this song, I made it the song I would want to be played at my memorial. I've never forgot this song and never will. It's absolutely perfect to say goodbye to all your loved ones.
Every single time,..this song makes me cry.
Beautiful song, but very sad ... it's like a farewell.
Almir Rogerio da Silva that's the way I understood this song. But I'm sure this song can be understood differently. ❤️
So true
Not really. It's more of a "till I see you again." If time keeps flowing like a river, then you will see your loved one downstream.
That's exactly what it is;. A sad and beautiful. Farewell song.
I had forgotten about this wonderful song and the lyrics...........but now I am 70 and can't bare to listen to it because I end up wailing!!!! Why........maybe 70 just made me realize I haven't got much time left.....too sick to go much longer I'm afraid. Looks like by seeing all these people posting in here that the song made a huge impact on their lives as well. It used to make me feel better to have that release of emotion with crying.....but now it just wears me out and completely clogs me up and I can't sleep!!!!!! I know....pitiful isn't it? Sadder stories than mine posted.....so I will quit complaining. Will try again tomorrow to listen......maybe I can get through it. Just so many memories........its overwhelming. Beautiful lyrics and melody so I am most grateful for you all for putting this music together. Love to you all.
This played at my Dad's memorial service! He was a commercial fisherman and their boat went down in the pacific northwest. Beautiful song!
A time when musicians made music with meaning !!!
A time when musicians made actual music.
about 25 years ago a neighbor had a tragic accident and this song was playing in the background. since then i avoided listening to this song. fast forward here i am now facing my fears and listening to this song not to connect it to bad times but to just enjoy the beauty of it.

My best friend died in a fire in 1992...this song hits so hard and beautiful....I honor you G. T. You live inside of me....Keep flowing like a river
