Never heard of or seen this lady before, but she does a wonderful job on this song. One of the Saddest Times Of my life when this became a hit. It played over & over & I sometimes had to turn it off to keep tears back. I never let it play if anyone was with me, only when alone. I was 19 in 1978! This really brought back some memories & I have to admit the tears came back also. Don’t know who you are but you are One Beautiful Lady! What a Fantastic Job! Thank You So Much 🥺😔❤️🙏 Yes... she was my first True Love, at least I thought so. A very light miscommunication ended that relationship! It crushed me for that entire summer 😊💕🥰 Thank You! I often wonder about her! 🙏
I've just discovered this version. Francesca's done a god job - she has a nice singing voice and plays the guitar solo very well. She says she was touched by hearing Dolly Parton sing this song. She did indeed, as did another great country artist, Tim McGraw. But it should never be forgotten that the original version was by Randy Vanwarmer in the 70s. Randy also wrote the song. ♥♥♥
That is a nice cover. The guy who wrote this song was Randy VanWarmer and created a one hit wonder for himself. But being covered this often is an ongoing badge of honor for him.
This is one of my go-to songs from the 70's. I love Randy Vanwarmer's version. I didn't know what to expect when I started this video. I must say, I got goose bumps as soon as you started singing! You sound great!!!
Beautiful cover Francesca of this beautiful 1979 classic by Randy VanWarmer. I can relate to this song 100% when Me and my Ex-Girlfriend Donna ended our relationship it was very painful and it took me up to 10 years to get over it.
Played beautifully with passion. I relate to this song in that it is how I felt about my mother leaving me as a very young child. Leaving me to be fostered around a variety of guardians and different schools in different States. Always wondering why I did not matter and watching other children with envy as their mothers doted and cared about them with love and affection. It was all inexperience for me but needed just the same. However I survived without it. That's why I relate to this song. It is so true for me.
so sad for you I bet you are a great person despite it Sometimes God does things for a reason looks like how your comment is so nice it was good for you and your great personality God bless you
Absolutely.. and how Beautiful she is! 😉 Just Wow and what a great job! Never heard her before. Her rendition followed the Original by Randy as I had came across it! She does an absolutely lovely rendition of this Song. Hope she’s still around as this was posted 9 years ago, to see if she is still doing live singing videos! Her eyes & face just melt me.. jeeeez
Reminds me so much of my situation. 1980 my ex left us for a more exotic guy. I raised 3 boys and 2 daughters on my own. Oldest boy is V.P. of a major insurance company, oldest daughter is a RN, next daughter is a supervisor for the company that makes filters for the space station, next boy is an area supervisor for a major oil company, next boy is an mechanical design engineer. I felt devastated when she left however it turned out for the best. each child turned out OK and now I am free as a bird.
Beautiful! I think of my Mother. She was a beautiful person. So sweet. She got Alzheimers. She did not last to much longer. She was 86 that was still to soon for me. I longed to talk to her.
I love the sound of the mandolin on this track! The vocal was beautifully passionate as this song requires! Randy's voice sounded more heartbroken. This one almost sounded as if it could have been a rendition by Helen Reddy. I love the way Francesca ended with the acoustic guitar outro!
Your version is just so beautiful, My wife to be killed herself many years ago , yet I still miss her. This is the most beautiful and bittersweet song I have ever heard. Stay safe dear.
@@MsInvisiblelight I have to respectively agree. I love DP & her voice but to me, Nobody sang it better than he did, & I remember it well as I fell hard for someone for the first time in my life, & it didn’t last but just for a few short dates. Miscommunication did it & I felt bad as I didn’t go after her like I should have. I only wonder whatever happened to her, but back to what you said... Nobody in my mind did it better than Randy. But this lady (Franseca) does it as nicely or better than any others following Randy’s Version! 🥰👌🙏
Dolly Parton covered Randy Vanwarmer's song - not the other way around as a lot of people mistakenly believe. While the song can be considered a "break-up song," I read a number of years ago that Mr. Vanwarmer actually wrote the song reflecting back about his father's sudden death -- when Randy was only a teenager. Apparently, he was still dealing with the loss of his Dad when he and his girlfriend broke up. All those undealt with feelings of grief broke through to become this wonderful song.
I listened this song and it’s lyrics is look like to me so beautyfull, and now when i when rebember to someone , me listen and sing it . Francesca a very beautyfull voice .
Lorenzo August 2022 I have been grappling with a divorce my wife initiated. Although I do not have a criminal record, I have had some mental health issues. She used legal means to evict me from our home. She has not been courteous enough to even discuss her actions with me. I still have feelings for her despite the terrible treatment. Francesca does a wondrous job with this song which hits home so accurately!
I think most of us have been there. Some people are meant for a lifetime and some people just aren’t. Beautiful song but through the years we all move on.🙏❤️🕊🦋
Beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. I grew up listening to so many beautiful song from LP's my dad had bought during the late 60s and early 70s. So I grew up listening song like this (even though this song is from the late 70s, it is, I feel in the same vein as the other songs), as/and the Dr. Zhivago kinds. Thanks for this beautiful memory! Wish I could play the guitar and sing as beautifully as you.
That account of people walking out on others happens more than most realize... I know, it's happened a lot to me over the years and now it's why I'm not particularly very fond of people because most sling B.S., lie and are looking for a free ride.... then when things get bad or go wrong.... they just leave.....! What a sad life we all live all because people can't be real, honest and faithful....! =)

Been there man. Beautiful words on a beautiful cover of the song.

Whenever I listen to this song tears trickles down my cheeks.What a heart-touching song sung with beautiful voce.
Surprised this song isn’t covered by more artists. Stunning work, if I could sing it would be the one song I’d choose .
Randy's all smiles by now he for sure will never be forgotten
That is a nice cover. The guy who wrote this song was Randy VanWarmer and created a one hit wonder for himself. But being covered this often is an ongoing badge of honor for him.

Wunderschöne Stimme. Wunderschönes Lied. Wunderschöne Frau.
She does a great job on this song.
Sometimes people don't have to leave you to abandone you when you needed them the most. God bless all that have suffered.

Your life story is very heart warming & inspiring….👍👍👍
Beautiful cover ,Just what I needed .......
What a great song.. awesome voice.. Love it most..💓
Omg im stunned so beautiful omg
Beautiful voice!
I'd thought no one can touch Randy;
but this comes close.
You've captured the emotion of the song very well.
Amazing well done. So love this song, been listening to many versions today.
Beautifully done... great song.
Listening in 2023, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your rendition. God bless.
Beautiful! I think of my Mother. She was a beautiful person. So sweet. She got Alzheimers. She did not last to much longer. She was 86 that was still to soon for me. I longed to talk to her.

Autoharp not mandolin
Your version is just so beautiful, My wife to be killed herself many years ago , yet I still miss her. This is the most beautiful and bittersweet song I have ever heard. Stay safe dear.
oh my .... what a beautiful cover.... full of emotion behind.... thanks...☺
Beautiful voice, first time I have heard of her, will look for more of her music.
That is one beautiful lady 😊 jeeeez 😉 Wonderful Job on such a Great Written Song! Thank You Francesca.. beautiful name! ☺️☺️✝️
we need to remember that was not dolly partons song .credit should go to its creater randy vanwarmer
Oh, i dont expect she got such a good voice, like a professional singer.👍👏👏👏
Absolutely!!!!!
I felt a twinge of irritation that she didn't give credit where it was rightfully deserved. Especially considering Randy Vanwarmers short life.
@@MsInvisiblelight I have to respectively agree.

OH MAN_ what a great voice and a great version- thanks for posting this - especially when I needed it most
That touched me..very nice respect to that great song and your voice is beautiful....thanks 😓
This is a beautiful cover of a super sad song. This song always makes me cry like a baby every single time I hear it. 😢😢

The one he wrote for his dad was 'I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes' which the Oak Ridge Boys took to #1 in 1983.
