This is a very sweet song. No smut or innuendo, just saying how he has loved her, and she doesn't even know he exists. I had that same experience with one of the girls on my block. She was a couple of years older than I was. I finally got the nerve to say hello. Nothing romantic ever became of it, but she turned out to be a wonderful life long friend.

This song makes my cry because of my Daddy. He has Alzheimers but when this song comes on we sing it together word for word. One of his favorite groups....

[@paulf4802]

There was a time when people respected others and did the right thing because they were raised that way--respect for your parents, your teachers, your public servants, your sweetie and most of all, yourself. Doing the right thing wasn't seen as a weakness; it was a sign of strength and maturity. These songs reflect those days.

[@beth-annmyers8348]

We had it all back in the day!!! All the best damn music!! And we loved it all!! From the Stones to RUSH to Jethro Tull to Frankie Valli to Harry Chaplin to The Carpenters to Stevie Ray to Jimi Hendrix etc etc etc etc. It didn’t matter if it was sappy, hard rock, metal, sad, happy, sentimental, funny, jazzy, bluesy ...it was everything and we had it all! Glad you get to experience our youth!

[@kroakie4]

It’s Harry Chapin, not Chaplin, but I bet autocorrect did that. And, yes, all the music from the 50’s through the 80’s was amazing. But I particularly love the classic rock of the 60’s and 70’s.

[@Laura-rm6us]

What insane person gave this a thumbs down?! Franki Valli ❤️❤️❤️❤️ One reason I love these reactions is rediscovering all the amazing music I grew up with. I had a lucky generation. The 70s are rich with diversity.

"This is what you all had? No wonder you all have some good head on your shoulders....my goodness". Jamel, you have just cited and pinned point the exact reason why older people are wiser and so mature with love compared to the younger generation of today. I actually feel sorry for the newer generations who I feel will never feel the same feelings to a larger extent compared to the times ago.

This song was written by song writer Kenny Nolan. The original title was blue eyes in Georgia.

This song came out and instantly transported me back to the 60s, the 4th grade and the lovely Norma. She was the first girl I literally loved. We were really close and constantly teased by the other kids. We didn't care. Then...she moved away....broke my heart. Her last day and I was a total jerk. Wherever she is I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I never felt anything like that before.
