I'm now a grown man of 48 and I keep remembering my Gran whistling this song along with all of Bobby's O' how simple the days use to be... what GREAT days they all where.. thank you to all the greats who gave us all so, so much... Rod

[@DebbieDean49]

Everyone of us have the seasons of our lives...This was one of those oldies I listened to over and over....when I was in the Springtime of my life... A beautiful song.

[@thesentinal100]

haven't heard this in years made me shed a tear as my big sister used to sing me to sleep with it, love you sis one day we will all sit at mum & dads feet again, keep a space for me next to you.xx

💓💚 What a Lovely Song .. I'm from Katherine, Australia. Followed Bobby Goldsboro for many years.❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡

[@jaxon049]

Met Bobby at a record collector's show. Asked him to please record again, but he said he was having too much fun writing children's books. May his music live forever.

[@PhormerPhantomPhixer]

Been soooooo very long since I've heard this song. Seems so appropriate for me, I am recently divorced and starting my life anew. My son was coincidentally 10 when my wife and I split up....thank you for posting this.

[@MagicGary1960]

[@scotnick59]

This has gotta be the most beautiful SAD song i have EVER heard. And i have heard hundreds of songs. Bless you, Bobby Scotty (whatching me grow!)

[@nickellodeon55]

This song and "Days Of Sand And Shovels" always guaranteed me big fat teardrops.

[@tangled2884]

I'm in the winter of my life, and I have loved every day of it. Know only this, that if you live your life with wisdom and kindness, you will reap the benefits as you approach the end.

[@Blazer9970]

[@christina1276]

A very sad but powerful song,sung very well by Bobby Goldsboro!!

[@pammypoos1]

Oh my God this is a real heart wrencher. Bobby ranks along with all the othert sob songs.xo.

[@Farmer2492]

i am 48 male can't stop crying love this song

[@conniff44]

He's such a master at the sad song and his voice adds to that sadness. Nice enough to be put into my favourites.

[@1bobbygoldsborofan]

His music has so much vision and heart. I will never tire of his talent.

[@mrob75]

I remember when this was played on A.M. radio...It was a hit! Aside from maybe Sirrius radio....No oldies station EVER, EVER plays this song! It seems that many, many good early 1970s songs were lost forever...Kinda' like this one...Oldies stations today (for whatever reason) like to pretend these early 70s songs were never hits and that no one remembers them...I do..Thank God!

[@jcpfahey]

THANKS MUM, FOR GIVING ME ONE OF THE MOST OVERWELMING SONGS I COULD EVER KNOW! THANK GOD FOR LITTLE THINGS!

[@huckhockey]

wow, that could be the saddest song i've ever heard. i remember it as a kid and just found it again. Thanks for posting it. I always thought it was about death....but i realize it's about the end of a relationship. But WOW...what a beautiful and sad song

[@lstan2245]

This guy is one heck of a good writer! I understand he is still around, Still writing behind the scenes.... Love his music!

[@rogerhuff9556]

+l stan bobby didnt receive enough recognition he can break your heart

[@asterrivera]

I like this beautiful and lonely song of Bobby.one of my favorites. It can make one cry and think about life. Thanks for uploading!

[@MrWillette57]

I will always love that song HONEY that he made me cry, it is very touching.

[@cking5133]

@huckhockey THANK YOU!!! It just dawned on me today when I heard it on an A.M. station that maybe it was a relationship being at the autumn of its life. NOT that man is dying and leaving his 10 year old son behind! As a kid I was told the autumn of life was when people die and being 10, I wanted to cry any time I heard that song and thought that boy my age's father is about to die! Then I never heard it again until today! Its nice not being the only one who thought that!

[@blueblue5556789]

This song is so beautiful. I never tire of hearing it.

[@newagelady07]

To me this song is Not about divorce, it is about the end of a persons life... it is about dying. I am reading many comments about this being about divorce, I don't hear that in this song. Now the one "With Pen In Hand" he also had on this album is about divorce. I love this song. Always will.

[@Mumsieish]

I am a 46 year old "girl" and pretty much everything he sings makes me cry for very many reasons x

[@sunlitstormclouds]

Bobby is so under-appreciated.

[@davidclark1952]

hello all yes live acn begin in later years . after my first marrige finished I thought I would never trust again or love come to think of that .. But I meet somebody so different from my first ,I thought I was dreaming and I would wake up very soon but yes it was true I had found that special person .. So yes it is worth going through that crap to get the right person in the end , we have been together for 34 years now and I love her more every day we do have are ups and downs but I never thought it was possible to love somebody like I LOVE HER..she has made it possible for me to live with out my daughter most of the time we have been together .. but she knows there will always be a space that is so empty in me that ever she cant fill ..But Im so grateful for the day we meet made up for all the crap I got before I meet her ....Before you think yes every marrige has a 50-50 wrong and right bit to it ...But I do love her so much ..

[@LorisStories64]

I love bobby goldsboro music so much, I listened to around 9 or 10 yrs old. I'm having a difficult time trying to find one of his songs about after a bomb was dropped and they were sitting around with the dad telling him what was a car, and what was tv, sitting on my father's knee, and he told be about the world that use to be...but, I can't recall the name of the song, or can find it in any of these albums.

[@Undergottensnotten]

This song is about divorce, and you can hear the sadness and pain of it through the whole thing, but he's not even a little bitter. Amazing.

[@beefoneeto]

Beautiful piece of music.

[@mrbuster1964]

JEEZ!!! THIS WAS THE ERA FOR DEPRESSING MELODIC TUNES!!!! THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THEM I REMEMBER!!!

[@stevenrussell8369]

why all his songs makes me cry? but love them all

[@harponercam]

Great song- the kind of sentiment no longer found much.

[@purkif8187]

The older a person gets the more this songs speaks to them.

[@joanmorris2292]

In the spring of my life!...👂👂👂👂👂👂

[@SuperBalodoy]

wonderful song.

[@scottyjinpa]

this song and his song honey would make me ball as a child

[@miss_midge_]

Same here.

[@Farmer2492]

Me too i love everything he sings,i also love the song honey

[@ange3695]

My Dad had this played at his funeral for my Mom. It explains their life perfectly and exactly how it all happed except im not a boy and my Dad died when i was 5, not 10 lol

[@bley8]

11yr of time gone till someone reads yr cmmt. so you were alone without any parent at 5. i understand the feel of loss and lonely for any one with this experience esp those little human living in orphanage cling to any stranger for their emotional comfort needs and cry with no one care about till they sleep. it's a out of order world and God has a solution to heal it.

[@brookwatson3573]

It's fun to reminiscence.

[@jeffstorey14]

To Julie Susan...she wont ever read this but totally irreplaceable and so is my 15 year old boy...I'm 53 and in the Autumn of my life...I will die loving her xxx

[@mrob75]

@cking5133 Yessss...You are right! This was 1968! Bobby ran into the early 70s but began earlier in the 60s...And yes, another "dying song" for Bobby Goldsboro...Ironically, dying doesn't seem to be a subject matter for today's Hip-Hoppers or Lady Ga-Ga...Ha! Take Care...

[@TOMMYLUA]

Delicious !!!!

[@cking5133]

@mrob75 This was a 1968 song, not early 1970's. I know because it scared the hell out of me when my mother said he was dying and it hit me his son and I were the same age. I'd want to cry every time I heard it. Listening to it for the first time in decades (yes, on an A.M. station! LOL!), (WHYL from Carlisle PA I think), at 52 years old, it seems more like its a love breatk up dying, not the father!! I hope that's what was dying, not HIM!!!

[@jsbach15]

Huh? Didn't you hear the last stance of the song? "What do you tell a child of 10, now that his Daddy has gone away?" The Father died of course!

[@conniff44]

That's what I thought, but the bit that confused me was around 2:0 where he sings "Now what do you say to a child of 10, how do you tell him his daddies gone away"?

[@cking5133]

@conniff44 Did either one die or could it have been just their love for each other died?

[@Ltfireman53]

my daughter was 13 and my son was 12 when we split up and now 22 years later they started talking to me and ask question what do you tell then

[@conniff44]

I'm not sure which one died here, is it the husband or the wife?

[@aleutianblue]

Actually this song was released a couple of years before Honey.

[@joanlagoy]

So beautiful, so sad..... joanie

[@sussuarana7759]

💓💓💓💓💓💓👂👀👂

[@conniff44]

@y00sta Thank you y00sta, that is what I thought.

[@mr.warmth1511]

they dont have their shit together today

[@exclusivevideo1]

This is not a song about dying. It's probably the first song ever written about divorce!

[@egbertsouce3895]

Very pretty song, but why didn't he write or sing "SpringTIME of my life" ?? Sounds better to me and would keep the tempo going.

[@cking5133]

@outoftheww If his wife died, why is he telling his son of 10 his father will be going away?

[@SoloPilot6]

Nobody died -- she decided that she didn't want him anymore. This song was written at the beginning of the "no-fault" divorce culture in America.

[@SquireRic]

Get a grip! It's music!

[@Willscarp]

It is about a divorce.

[@blinkie7]

divorce-pop.
