And we never had a good time.l.

SNL's Sarah Sherman brought me here

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It is not for the sadness of it but due to the fact that I can see myself on it - and see my dad on it.. old man was always busy, trying to make a way for us to get going in life... lots of privations is true but one thing I know, he did his best to have us all together whenever he could, even if for a little while which always makes me to wants for more. Today, I live far away, cant be with him as many times as I want and maybe this is why I cry so much every time I hear it. Needless to say that this is a lesson to all parents out there, take care of yours, no amount of money will ever replace small simply moments in your children's lives.

This is for you daddy. I miss you so much.

Dad passed away today... I love you so much dad... Even with all your problems, I love you

Does anyone know the name of the backup singer at 3:49? Her singing is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I have ever listened to.

This song always reminded me of my father and I, now that he passed it always makes me cry but I love this song

I was this child. Pretty much ignored by my father. I vowed my child would not feel the pain that i felt. I was going to be involved and love her with all my heart. Now I'm sitting here listening to this song because she doesn't have time for me. Pained as a child and now as an adult.

This was my father’s favorite song. I never really listened to the words to it until after he passed away. We’ll have a good time then dad. Gonna be a good time then.

I just discovered this song days ago. This hit home so hard, y'all have no idea. Made me think about my dad too.

My oldest son Send me this song 🎶 🎵 I have been away from his life for 16 years

Saw him at the boarding house in SF in 73. Intimate great venue and superb show. At the end of the show Harry walked outside with the 40 fans. Lesson: Don't smoke pot.

Loved this song as a boy. Now I’m a father and this song is always at the back of my mind, reminding me that, no matter how busy I get, I need to set time aside for my children. Thank you, Harry!

!¡🫶🏻💕😍💖💕been looking for this song💕💕💕💕💕💗💕💕💕💕💕

🎉 happy birthday dad 85 today wish we could of spent more time together maybe next lifetime by dad I love u your son

Harry was never a stranger but he was melodic and wrote some wonderful pieces that are still as relevant today

I know feminist today will fight over this but... It's hard for a dad more than a mother after birth of a child.. He wants to spend time with his kid but if he will not earn then what's the point... and just in that he misses the moments of his child that are so precious but he had to sacrifice it.. When my elder brother born in 93 my father used to be a cricketer.. US people may not know much about cricket but think of it as a Baseball player.. He left cricket because his wife and child were in the different city and he had to go through different states to play matches.. He left his dream and started doing a clerical job in the same city here.. With the hard earned money my blessed mother went over his head and bought a piece of land.. I know it seems like it should be a collective decision but believe me what my mother did even my father accept that it was the best thing to do.. before that we do not have any home we used to live in rented room yes a room.. with that money she bought a piece of land which they both later made a home and then i came... Father and mother both are precious but a mother suffers for 9 months of pain and have a blissful life with his child but a father he had to suffer not the correct word but we can say that until his son/daughter are capable enough he goes through a lot.. Thanks to all the fathers and love to all mothers..♥

I started college when my son was nine years old. I spent eight years in college. It was very intense. He was seventeen when I finished. The next year he moved out. I hardly see him let alone hear from him much anymore now that he is out on his own. He is busy like I was. I wish I never went to school. Now that I think about it. It was a complete waste of my time. I lost the most important years of my sons life because I was to busy. I know he is proud of me for my accomplishments. But at what cost? Life goes by in the blink of an eye.

Feel like my older bro turning into this. Basically father figure growing up, I try call him up now and this is all I ever get.

I’ve heard this song countless times in the 70’s. I did not realize it was 6:44 long. That story Harry tells moves along so smoothly.

Pinhead Gunpowder cover ❤

Def a boomer song. Only we can relate to his job and the influence of his line of work. Not to mention the mental toll it can take on a good, "never seen" celeb.

My father and me always were working together on cars. I always catch my self thinking of him there's nothing like having a wonderful grate father. I miss you dad but one day we will see each other again and we will smile again Thank you for being the best father a man can be.

I love the backup vocals singing WOLD after he sings how he's "such a happy man." It makes me think that he doesn't have much time for this sad thought or any reflection because the voices are calling him back to his job and like it or not, it's time to get back on the air. I grew up an 80s child on 80s music, but what rich lyrics and stories are told in 70s music! Just played Willin and Blue Bayou for my father in law who has dementia. Amazing what music can do for people. What heart these writers and artists had. We are truly standing on the shoulders of giants. What's best is that I imagine very few if any of them would've regarded themselves this way. Just some random thoughts. . .

My parents was divorced, and I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my dad, we would talk about going fishing, and "planned" to. Thank the Lord, the last year of his life I got to spend time with him, trying to talk make sure everything was worked out and a lot of regrets, this song always reminded me of us, when i was a kid....if I could tell anyone, anything, spend as much time with your dad, hold no grudges, I wish I would have just went and picked him up and said, "were going!!!" But it's too late now. I thought he was busy, and he probably thought I was busy..

I’m 61 as well love this man what a waste of

My kids are always saying that I’m always working and never spending time with them I tell them you want that 1000 dollar I phone don’t you it isn’t free.

I’m grateful that I did not do as in the song. I spent as much time as I could with my kids. One of them passed away at age 33. I’m extremely saddened but have no regrets about our time together. Especially the last few years.

Still makes me cry 😢! Miss you Dad........

Beautiful Song!

One of my very favourite songs!

When my husband and I were dating in 1972, a musician friend turned us on to Harry. We attended several of his concerts. Our musician friend wrote and performed a Harry style song for our wedding. 50 years later when my husband was in hospice dying from cancer we played Harry for him even though he was in a non responsive state. Our priest talked about how much Steve liked Harry and about Steve’s favorite Harry’s songs during the eulogy. Today, 2 1/2 years later, I’m sitting next to my husband’s grave playing - and singing - Harry tunes. ❤️ you Harry!! ❤️❤️you Steve!!!

"MY son grew up just like me." 💙 Greatest regret you can have is not being close to your kids. You have to stop DAILY to get in their face, hold them, love them and tell them. They grow up so fast! Nothing matters but your kids and mate. THEY are PRIORITY #1. ❤

My dad showed us this song but he should’ve listened to the lyrics bc he ended up following the same story himself

I looked up this song for its mention in bojack the horseman,

One of the only songs to consistently make me cry.

Music was his life; it was not his livelihood. RIP Harry. Love you, man.

Harry has always been a big part of my life. One year I was in a band in California. We had a gig opening for a Folk Singer. When we got to the gig turned out we were opening for Tom Chapin. The guys in the band made jokes and had no Idea who he was, I remained silent. When Tom showed up we all introduced ourselves, and at one point I told him how I loved the way he and his brother harmonized together. I also mentioned that Taxi was one of the songs on my solo playlist. He proceeded to start the song, as he had his guitar hanging on his shoulder. He and I proceeded to sing the entire song. After we were done we laughed and shook hands, he proceeded to do his show. When he left the room, the guys in the band looked at me and could barely say a word. God Bless you Harry, you were and are a rock in my life, when I first heard your songs I cried with joy, when you passed I cried with sadness, there will never be another Singer Songwriter like you!

RIP to all the fathers that have passed out. Rest in paradise Father

LOVE LOVE LOVE. One of the most talented singer/song writers EVER.

I used to tell my, now ex, when our boys were growing up, that he was going to be a lonely old man. I'd play this song. He didn't listen. After the divorce, both sons had little contact with him. I'd tell them that their dad loved them jn his own way. After years of talking with them, the youngest stays in touch occasionally while the oldest hasn't spoken with him for years now or sent pictures of his grandchildren to him. 😢 it's sad but he wouldn't listen and I can't fix it for him.

So great when he asked his brother to sing in a ' bridge '....he was incredible!!!

Isn't that every average American way of work-life routine?
