It’s been 35yrs since my beautiful mother Alice had her life cut short aged just 26, this was her song. I’m now 43 and it still makes me cry for the mother I never got the chance to know 💔
I don't know why, but this song always reminds me of my father who died when I was 3 years old. My mother tells me that it might be because they used to sing this song all the time. I don't know about that, all I know is that it reminds me of him... Wonderful song! R.i.p daddy
im 28 and i know every lyric from all the 70s and 80s i was born in 87 and i absolutely love the older songs glad my parents raised me on the good stuff 👍
One night while I was still a kid, this song came on the radio and my dad was so happy and he sang all along and when the song was over he told us the story behind it. I was so very young and that memory should be long lost but here I am in 2021.
@@jorgeluismelara4191 The song is about a young man’s long-standing unrequited love toward the girl next door and his neighbor of 24 years, Alice. The protagonist had seen a limousine parked at Alice’s home, learning through mutual friend Sally that she is moving away, and begins to reflect on childhood memories and his friendship with Alice, and becomes heartbroken as he sees Alice get inside the limousine. As he watches the car drive out of sight, the protagonist feels regret about two things: First, Alice leaving without explanation. Second, that in 24 years, he never took the opportunity to express his feelings for her
The song reminds me of a girl (my fiance) long ago in mid 80's her name was Smiso Buthelezi living at Mkuze (in South Africa KwaZulu) she was beautiful inside and outside very humble women, the story is I loved her but it took almost a year to convince her how much I loved her, she left me with a vacuum that no one could fill it up, it was difficult to accept that she was no more, she died in hospital. My her soul rest in peace.
I adore Smokie since my early childhood. In my country they were more popular then Beatles. My brother went to the army and left me home his big tape recorder just with one tape. On the one side was country music, on the other Smokie. I was listening to it 24/7.
Remember this song so well, it was suddenly ringing in my head these past few days, so I came looking for it... Great song even now after 46 years ! Lol
I've been searching for this song for 40 years but could not remember the words. I would hear another song that had similar harmonics but it was on the very tip of my memory but wouldnt break free. I stumbled upon this last night by accident. Listened to it 10 times since. Just one of them golden oldies.
This reminds me of being 5 years old and going to the pub with my dad where bands would cover it. I didn't know how great this song was until he died and I heard it again.
I woke up this morning singing this song, which was strange as i hadn't heard it for years, i walked into a shop and guess what was playing, it was strange, what a coincidence so i came home and looked it up and listened again, such a good song.
My Friend used to sing this to her Nighbours & put their names instead lol Memories XXX spent hours in her house & her in mine & her Dad was our Taxi service ...Bless Him ....XXX ❤
So beautiful song with a sad meaning..I remember my school friends they all left my life oneday..now I am 52, I miss them...don't know where those beautiful girls and boys are.....only I got the golden memories....though some of those friends came in touch with me after long 32 years, and when we sit together for a party we try to remember those friends who are not in touch with us till today....love for this song from India, from the city of kolkata.....
I first listened to Smokie and this song in 1979 and it made me feel sad but still love it after all the years. Music is the best one can listen to and Smokie gives me joy and wonderful memories about our college life.
I love this song. I also love to watch the expression on the faces of all each of the guy's. Their expression shows all that awesome feelings of love and happiness this song gave them. I personally love to listen and watch this video as it gives me the same feelings . When you listen you can think that you are or could be Alice the girl next-door.

OMG. BACK IN THE MID 70S I FELL IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN NAMED ALICE. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS SONG EXISTED BACK THEN AND I NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. JUST BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF GREAT MEMORIES.
I'm listening to this song at last moment of 2021, just few hours and it'll be 2022 .... Damn! Gotta say, time goes on and I'd be damn right to say that this song will last forever ❤
This song appears to depict a man who is in his mid twenties, who has lived at the same address for most of, if not all of his life, so he's still living at his parent's house, in his mid twenties (this is in the 70's). When he was a small child, he had a friendship with the girl who lived next door (Alice), who is presumably of a similar age. Since that time, their friendship seems to have cooled to the point that Alice scarcely even notices him anymore or possibly actively avoids him, trying not to catch his eye. However, he remains completely besotted by Alice despite the fact that he has no knowledge of what appears to be transpiring in Alice's life - it may well be that Alice has taken deliberate steps to keep her life as secret and at as arm's length from him as possible. What transpired in the intervening years, why did their there childhood relationship deteriorate so dramatically? The song does not say, but clearly Alice has still not reconciled the issue. We are not told why Alice is leaving, is it to get married, or is she simply trying to escape from her unwanted and suffocating admirer? Certainly Alice appears to be trying slip away without fanfare, having not previously informed her lifelong neighbours of her moving plans. On leaving, Alice, still barely even acknowledges the protagonist, clearly there is some history between them that we are not made aware off. Alice did however, inform another local, Sally, who in turn is besotted with the protagonist. But upon informing him of this, our hero scarcely even acknowledges her feelings towards him, he himself, still besotted with Alice. However you look at it, this guy is obsessive and creepy. No wonder Alice wants nothing to do with him and is moving away, without notice and without telling him where or why she is going - she is probably concerned he will attempt to follow her or worse! He might feel at a loss, now that the subject of his obsessions is moving away. But imagine what Alice's life has been like for the last twenty four years, poor girl. No wonder she never acknowledges him. What a creepoid! She probably has a restraining order.
Or just friend when one feel in love and the other did not.. and he is hurt when she leaves.. and guy didnt act ones for 24years to tell and saying him regret.. and Sally has the same issue with the guy who is in love with Alice
