[@pamelawilliams3008]

Walked mum into church yesterday, in her casket, to this beautiful song, her absolute favourite. RIP mum, love you so much. In time, when we have our catch up, we can sit on a cloud together and I will sing this to you ❤❤❤ For Sheila Mace (mum)

[@daveorange2379]

So sorry for your loss!💔

[@puffinclouds8534]

That’s very sad 💕

[@pamelawilliams3008]

@@daveorange2379 thankyou, still quite raw, mum was only 73, which I think is still quite young. she died suddenly in her sleep, dad was with her. I listen to this song as it reminds me so much of her x

[@williamwimbourne856]

You Mum must have been a wonderful lady. God rest x

[@anonemous7881]

It’s amazing that people say time travel doesn’t exist when clearly she time traveled and made this song. We all know trump came up with the word “caravan”

[@richardpotter8367]

Barbara sang this for her last song at her farewell concert in Manchester last night , fantastic

[@jeansmith3367]

Same in Liverpool - love her and love this song, my favourite

[@gayleywayley]

My Dads favourite song....his Grand daughter sang it at his funeral....i hope he heard it ❤

[@edwardtannahill6297]

The voice of an angel. I heard this in a Glasgow pub... such places are often raucous... Barbara stopped everything! Love you, dear lady.

[@MickRussell-jr5rf]

Barbara i was 18 when this song although not loud cut through me, what impressed me was you sang very with a modest but proud sincerity. i met you in 1991 when you performed in St.Albans and you came across as a genuine person. God Bless, a unique talent. Stay well.

[@charmaine44]

This is the song that i will have played at my funeral,If any one cares.

[@happydays310]

Love this song. Reminds me of my childhood back in the late 70s early 80s.

[@redset11]

Barbars has a wonderful voice - love listening to her❤

[@stevelovell6832]

My mum loved this. I can still hear her voice singing this around house as she did the dusting. She passed away in 2018, this still hits me.

There is so much too love about this song. I am from a family of travellars in Scotland. The lyrics are amazing, the music slowly pulsing behind the vocals. i grew up with Barbara Dickson. She brings me home. Beautifully sang. If you havent heard her Evita. Please look it up

KZbin has some good stuff on it. This and other songs are genuinely beautiful. Loved listening to this and reading the comments.

[@Leopards_Are_Here]

Her voice is amazing 😮

[@aliuk147]

Wonderful, this song brings back memories of when I did not have a care in the world, now the world has changed so much and age is catching up and life is coming to a conclusion, as I listen to Barbara the clock continues to tick, and the thoughts of a emotional past run through my mind. This is a classic and will always be.

[@peterstclair2610]

sure is

[@NYCBG]

Are you still around?

[@arthurlincoln9093]

What a beautiful sentiment.

[@lenagreen4031]

I have that urge to catch up on the music of long ago, I'm 75 now, and although like some of today's music, I do long for the music of the past. Maybe it's a sign of old age, or my time is upon? Who knows??

[@manjsingh5073]

I can totally relate to what you are saying.. the time seems to pass more quickly as we age... I sit here listening to this on a Saturday night at age 57 having lost my mother on last boxing day.. death humbles 😢

[@MOGGS1942]

I've always had a soft spot for this lovely lady. What a voice. Much under appreciated, in my opinion.

[@Gayalert69]

Agree….one of the best British female singers. Out on a major UK tour Feb/March 2017. See her live - she is wonderful.

[@MOGGS1942]

Gayalert69 Thanks for the info. I have just been to my local HMV Store, and no Barbara Dickson CD's available. Not even a name slot card to identify her. Pathetic. So, Amazon gets my money.

[@pablosaintmarr3223]

me too 🤤fancied her like f when i was young haven't changed my mind now i am slightly older

[@christhacker5329]

A very much under rated singer. So was Elkie Brooks

[@summerbayexile]

When I saw Barbara Dickson live this was the song that brought tears to my eyes. It is one of my favourite songs in any genre and one I never tire of hearing. If it had been properly handled by the record company it would have been an absolutely massive hit. Writing wise, it is Mike Batt at his absolute best.

[@cookewitch]

I haven't heard this in years, what an amazing song it!

Hi I'm reading your comment 11 years after you posted it. Are you still here? You tube is like a time machine sometimes. It's 2020 in South Africa we are in a virus lockdown. I hope there is as much peace in your life as there is in this song. May God bless you.

Such an amazing voice - she always had (and probably still does have) something very special and rare: a supremely delicate control over quiet passages, but with the power to belt out louder ones with plenty in reserve.
