This song was playing on am radio the summer & fall I was 15 & growing up in a small gulf coast town in south Texas. I washed dishes in the kitchen of one of two local restaurants. The double sinks faced huge open windows & the moist air would blow in from the intercostal canal. The rinse sink had a gas burner for sterilization & I wore protective gloves up to my elbows. The steam created when the hot & cold collided was as mesmerizing as this song. As the summer passed, I began to be convinced this song was written about me & for me. I still do almost 50 years later. Especially the line about “the way she’s always paid for a debt she never owed .”

Yes I agree. This song makes me think of a friend I have that I love so much. Her heart is so good. She is thoughtful, kind. She had a baby boy a yr. ago and she is also a wonderful mother. I love her so much. She's come such a long way and I am so proud of her. She had such a hard life and you would never know. I mean she has no anger in her but I do see her sadness and it breaks my heart. She is so good to everyone and ppl take advantage of her. She truly is always paying for a debt she never owes. I would give my life for this beautiful, wonderful women. Prayers for her are always. I pray for her always. I hope she is in my life forever. I wish she was my daughter. I am 57 she is 25. I will always be here for her and I will always protect her. I love you my Gabby girl. You are a star keep shining!

This song commands respect for every woman everywhere who has ever suffered at the hands of an individual, circumstances or society. Millions of women can claim this song as their own. I claimed this song back when it first came out, as I went through early childhood sexual abuse and was emotionally and physically abused by my brothers. This song used to bring me such comfort. It still does, as I now endure emotional abuse from the person I married. What a beautiful and powerful song. I feel a little ashamed to claim this song for my own as so many women have suffered far more horrendously then I have. But, when I play this song, I not only think of myself but I contemplate all the women who deserve to be remembered by this beautiful compassionate song. So many women suffer in silence. This song belongs to all women everywhere! Nobody can ever record it like Skylark did. One of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Sorry to hear that the singer of this song Donnie Gerard passed away just the other day from Cancer. Beautifully written and performed. Donnie definitely helped this song to become a number one hit back in 1972 when I was 18 years of age. Donnie Gerard was 75 years old.

I met a gentleman felt in my soul he was my soul mate. Soulmate or not, our first conversation he introduced me to this song. In which I heard it growing up. I would get upset when the neighbor would blast it. I now feel sad because lord knows why and the reasons she played it so much. Happy I can now listen whole heartedly and absolutely love it.

This was song that stopped you in your tracks. Was a young teenager then but this song screamed at me personally. Those lyrics, that voice, the arrangement. You can't help but wish to cry. Why did he not get best vocal (Grammy Award) I don't know. Early 70s did produce many special songs for sure in North America. We were so spoiled compared to now. There seems here some conflict over who wrote it? The singer? Canadian police officer, he was? The exact background I would like clarified.
